We miss you out there. I was the recipient of a Sammy elbow at the end of the last game; purely unintentional. You know he drives all the way under the basket for the reverse layup move…. Need a stitch or two inside the mouth but going without it. Watch out for the mosquitoes.

Often times, it's easy to accept this advice when it comes from a perceived higher source. I'm personally glad to have the right balance of friends and mentors that often "keep it real" and help me tune my "silly vs sage" advice meter, especially when it comes to my career.Eric Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-15957565572767793002009-09-03T13:59:48.974-04:002009-09-03T13:59:48.974-04:00Imagine life if we did not seize opportunity, trav...Imagine life if we did not seize opportunity, travel to new destinations, meet new people. Life is about discovery, about new places, new perspectives and mostly important, life is about discovery of self. I applaud your courage to enter the unknown and make it your own! I appreciate that you share your experiences with us as you navigate through this journey we call life.

I LOVE IT.<br /> One can get lost in the chaos, or find the pockets and enjoyment in it all.<br /> In regards some of the "hard-noses", the good thing is that there aren't a lot of hidden agendas - you know where people are coming from - whether you like them or not is your own decision and opportunity.<br /> Welcome to the East!Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574186837508212099.post-41231098120314520242009-09-03T12:18:53.103-04:002009-09-03T12:18:53.103-04:00Yes!

After my own similar experience my sapient advice is to consider the source and the motivation. <br />Do you think that your friends were going to miss you and they were hoping that you would hate it "out east" and return to them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09193123382498234682noreply@blogger.com
