I was recently on a telephone conversation trying to gather some information for a move I’m trying to make in regard to my career. The cat on the phone seemed more than eager to tell me that what I was trying to accomplish was “impossible”. He had repeated this word about 5 times in a matter of seconds. Before I knew it I had completely shut him down by replying, Continue reading
This post (well any post for that matter) is well over due. It isn’t that I haven’t thought about writing. My pen is definitely my therapy….it has been for 30 years. I think I’ve been apprehensive to put thoughts to paper for fear that I wasn’t ready to release and inhale what I was feeling.
For the last few weeks I’ve been grieving the loss of my right hand man…my biggest supporter…my one man cheering section…the man who has set the bar so high for any man who will ever come in to my life…my grandpa. He passed away on March 30th and ever since that 6 am call I had been feeling as though my heart stopped beating also. Like I too had taken my last breath. Continue reading
I’ve read stories about people coming back home after long term travel abroad and it being difficult for them to readjust or find their place in the world. After having so many off the wall, unexpected, and once-in-a-lifetime experiences on a daily basis it can be a shock to the system to come back to mediocrity. I had planned to take a few months to regroup and think about all that I had accomplished and realized during my travels and how exactly to incorporate that in to my “new life”. However Continue reading
Although a tad bit harsh you have to admit that you can’t get any more real than the statement above. I will absolutely admit that as a teenager….I used to be some what of a hothead. While that didn’t include embarrassing myself in public if things didn’t go my way, anyone (and I mean anyone) who didn’t do right by me would feel the wrath. Continue reading
So after a month of being back in the states I just have one thing to say…. “IT IS ‘SPENSIVE AS HECK TO LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES”.
Some new and extremely foolish person that I recently met insinuated that my reason for returning back to the states was probably because Continue reading
Happy New Year to everyone!!
Just sending a quick note to let you all know that I am alive. Thank you to all who have sent me emails expressing your concern. I totally intend to return all emails and calls in the next couple of days. I also have about 5 posts sitting in draft mode and tons of updates. The new posts will be starting with a “December 18th” post so be sure to read from that date forward on your next visit.
Everything will be up to date by Monday the 28th.
Peace and Blessings,
Miss Venus
I pride myself on the fact that I’ve never wanted to be like anybody else (with the exception of Michael Jackson. I used to Continue reading
On the 7 hour drive down to DC yesterday I spent a lot of time reflecting on how far I’ve come in life. It’s always easy for people to say that you should “leave the past in the past” and move on. In some instances this may be appropriate but I prefer to look back at those hard times so I can reflect on how much I have grown and accomplished. Or even just to give me a reason to smile when I’m feeling down. My “rock bottom” led me on this wild journey and will be a huge part of the solid foundation that I am going to build this next phase of my life upon.
CHEERS to the hardships, naysayers, backbiters, mistreaters, and the trials and tribulations. They came so that they could make me stronger.
