A.F.D. and NYC, episode one, I'm moving to New York City.

Hi friends, Annie F. Downs here, can I just be Annie on Sundays and in these particular

episodes?

So that'd be okay.

This feels like friend talk anyways.

I've been wanting to tell you a fuller story of what's coming up this fall in my life,

specifically when it comes to where I'll be living and why.

In summary, I'm moving to New York City for two months, October and November.

I'll leave Nashville the first weekend of October when I leave to go to a speaking event

up north, and then I will come back to Nashville after Thanksgiving.

I mentioned it in passing when I talked with Rebecca Lyons, that's episode 466, but

haven't really taken time to explain or explore that with you.

And I do think this is a with you moment.

I'm thinking about that a lot, actually, about how to share with you what I'm processing

and learning and experiencing as this year plays out somewhat like you old and days

of blogging.

But here on the podcast instead, I want a place where I'm a little forced to write stories

and tell you stories of this season of a new city, whether I feel like it or not.

Social accountability, podcast accountability is a powerful force.

So let's start here with the question that pops up all the time on my Instagram post right

now.

Why am I moving to New York City for two months?
