Time to Jet Set! Wednesday April 30th, 2008

If you are sleeping on the job or in class WAKE UP! lol I hope everyone is doing well today. Over the past couple of days I have had some really enlightning conversations with some good friends and collegues in which have been really inspiring. I have to I am truly blessed to have the friends that I have. I thank you all for being a part of my life. Life is short. Do not take people and things for granted.

One thing I feel a lot of people take for granted is this world. There is so much to this earth. It is said that we only use 6 percent of our brain. A lot people do not even travel to 6 percent of this world in their lifetime. I live in New York City (Harlem U.S.A. if you did not already know!lol) and there are people that I know that live in Harlem that have never been to downtown Manhattan. I know people that have never left the borough of Brooklyn in their lives. Some of these people are not young. They are old enough to collect social security. I find that unbelievable. It always good to get out of your immediate surroundings and see the world from a different perspective. There are so many beautiful people, places, and cultures to encounter. It can be a real life changing experience. When I was twelve, there was a trip offered by my school to go to France for a month during the summer and stay with a family out there. My mother made sure that I went on that trip. It was such an amazing trip and made such a positive impact in my life to this date.( I love you Mom! Thanks!) . By travelling you can even learn more about yourself and your own culture. Who knows? You may even meet your soulmate. I strongly urge everyone to make time in your schedule for travel. Make a list of some places to go to and make it happen. Trust me, you'll be happy that you did it.

Here is a list of some of my favorite places that I have been and also some places I plan to go to.
