I heart NY.
6 years ago today, I moved to Manhattan. Each year on June 6, I like to reflect on my journey to New York and celebrate this magical city I so proudly call home. I give thanks to my family and friends who supported, encouraged, and believed in me.
Today I toast to my 22 year old self for following her dreams.
Happy Anniversary to Manhattan and Me. :)
Happy Anniversary Tamra! Such a bold decision that you made and New York is a pretty special place!
Love this oh so much!! xx
does that mean you moved to NYC on 6-6-6? you are brave, indeed! ;) congrats on 6 years in the big apple! look at all you’ve accomplished!
06/06/06 was my high school “senior ditch day”. that’s all i remember.
this is truly inspiring. i’m 24 now and i am deeply afraid of “not knowing,” incertainties, and change. i started following your blog just recently, i’d love to hear more of your stories since you moved to manhattan, especially the early years… do you have an archive of that somewhere? maybe when i turn 25, i’ll have the courage to pack up and survive on my own and the “not knowing.” thanks again for sharing.
unfortunately, I didn’t blog in the early years when I moved to manhattan. I wish I had! Are you interested in moving to NY?
Happy anniversary! I’m so glad you came to NY :D
Thanks, Caroline!
Happy anniversary! Congrats on making the bold move to a big city and not only surviving, but thriving. Beautiful things happen to those who try hard and take risks…thanks for the inspiration! Cheers!
I love this!! You have accomplished so much!!! xo Elizabeth
Six years. I don’t think I could survive six days. Congrats on following your swoontastic dreams. I’m mighty impressed.
I barely survived 3 this last trip! How the heck did I live there? I was obviously much younger!

Such an incredible place to live! Happy anniversary!
