I spent a better part of my day yesterday writing. But unlike most days, when I’m working on fitness content or offering up health tips, today’s words were mostly about my love for New York. Every day lately, it feels like someone new is telling me that they’re leaving this special place. Some permanently. Others just for now. New York has been one of the greatest loves of my life, and this week for 5-MINUTE FRIDAY I'm sharing why I'm not going anywhere, not yet. 

PROMPT: If you could be anywhere with anyone, where would you be and with who?

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The New York City Marathon Jay-Z’s MTV Unplugged album New York or Nowhere Confetti Capsule Collection Where to Begin by Cleo Wade “How to Make Journaling Work for You” from Life Kit by NPR Dr. Darien Sutton (@doctor.darien) DONATE: 1 Million Miles for Justice with Black Girls Run
