February was a pretty busy month for me, and March will be even busier and more demanding. I am crossing my fingers that everything will turn out as planned. So, I am quite nervous, but taking the time to soak in my surroundings and to be appreciative of the moment will hopefully help me out. #March #SpringIsInTheAir

And I am trying to capture the beauty of wintertime in Seattle before spring arrives in a few weeks!

The past two weeks have been pretty hectic. I have recently completed my first month of living in the Seattle metropolitan area and finished my first week of working at my new sales job/company. I even managed to take a much-needed weekend trip to San Francisco to visit one of my amazingly supportive friends--which I desperately needed before starting work. I am slowly forming a routine even, which should help me with feeling much more stable after moving from the NYC metro area to the Seattle metro area. There is still a lot that remains to be done, but I have to remember that everything takes time and effort if you want it done right. And it is far better to be busy than bored anyway, so I am pretty grateful for the manageable chaos.

And in my third week, I continued to explore the area. I even managed to capture some of the neat sights in pictures. And I finally purchased a sketch pad and pencils. The first picture atop is one of a drawing that I made a few days ago. It is incomplete for now, but I have time to finish it. I am making a point to explore and create every single day--even if only a little bit. I really need and want my move and transition to be successful, so being proactive and productive will hopefully result in positive outcomes for this year! #DayByDay #WeekByWeek

So, I have officially been in Seattle for two whole weeks. And I am slowly getting into the swing of things. Sometimes, I feel a bit overwhelmed, anxious, and afraid, but I know that everything takes time. #Progress #Patience #Perseverance

Just some highlights of the things that I saw, did, and such!!!!

And I took a big leap of faith. Even though I planned for months and I have the support of my close family and friends, I am still super nervous. But I just have to remain focused and productive. #TakeItOneDayAtATime #WorryingIsAWasteOfTimeAndEnergy
