I walked away from a career as an attorney.

I was presented with the opportunity to move out of the state in which I was licensed and I didn't hesitate; I just packed up and moved.

This decision did not seem outrageous to me because I had been praying to move since before I started law school.

I had no particular state in mind.

I had no plan.

I just prayed for the opportunity to move.

When the chance came, I recognized it and didn't think twice.

Now, a year and nine months into my new adventure, my life is different than I would have imagined.

I have been through trials and struggles. Yet, I have been afforded with the free time that I have not had in a long time to actually clear my mind.

I have been able to delve into and resurrect my childhood interests again.

I have been able to focus on me and the things that I love.

I have been able to just be still and relax and enjoy life.

All these things, were not possible during my old life that I left behind and I am thankful.

I have no doubts that I made the right decision. I have been more at peace and happier in the last year and nine months than I have been in a long time.

I say all of this for a reason:

Follow your gut, your heart, your intuition, whatever you choose to call it.

Do what you love and pursue it without doubt.

I tweeted my thoughts on this topic briefly on the morning of Oct. 6th not thinking about it too much.

Later that day, during the Black Girl Nerds Podcast with Rosetta Thurman, on which I was a co-host, it all was further reinforced.

Life works in ways that we can not always readily see as being for our benefit.

We may not always see the light at the end of the tunnel and often we doubt our own decisions and dreams.

All I know is that when I just let go, it all came together.
