As I begin to close the final chapter of my upcoming book (Title TBA soon), which captures the full-circle moment of surviving the pandemic while living in Charleston, SC, then moving back home to Richmond, VA, I find myself excited about my new journey. I truly thought that I was going to be sad when I vacationed in South Carolina recently and visited my old neighborhood and hung out with friends and colleagues. Although I had a great time and was glad to see everyone and vice versa, to my surprise I felt such a sense of peace in knowing that I made the best decision ever and with such short preparation time. I still cannot believe that I was able to do what I did and keep it a secret for months, until I put everything in place and was ready to discuss my decision to return home. However, when what you fear is calling you there is a guiding light that makes the way smooth and clear, although there may be some bumps along the way (details in the book). The closing of a major chapter in my life and my new book opens up another door as I watch God continue to amaze me on this next leg of the journey. Please stay tuned for the book, as well as short tidbits as I capture moments along the way and provide inspiration and encouragement through my social media sites, website, (www.gerispeak.com), and of course my weekly emails.
