Business IS as business does

The New Year is almost here! There is something so refreshing in starting off with a New Year, I think for everyone. We can all claim that a lot of pivotal moments have occurred.

The only resolution I would possible make ( I try not to really make any-- for the start of a new year) is to live my best life possible. Everyday is a resolution to be made not just because we're beginning a 'new year.' I find that if you just say, "I wish to strive to be a better person than the woman who I was yesterday," all your goals will seemingly be easier to attain. I am in constant battle with that woman.

I've been running high on passion lately. It has pushed me into the hours of the night when I physically could not go on anymore. My work ethic has been crazy, I am determined to work harder to see the results that I dreamed about.

I have been enjoying family and friends these past few weeks-- I am in the holiday spirit. I love the warmth of people. I especially <3 when it's the people you care about most. I can sun bathe in that type of warmth-- the love of family and close friends.

The Gem project, my non-profit--- is moving UP UP UP. I finally renovated the website! Check it out over (here). I've been working on it so much lately because I am putting a new team together and changing how I manage things. I am elated with everything that it has done in the past and I look forward to the future!

Peep the new logo:

I foresee collegiate and high school chapters being done throughout this great nation in the future. I've placed forms on the website for that. I had a vision that the teachings and practices of The Gem Project as an organization would just ramify out from state to state-- and it will happen. I would be lying if I said I was not 100% sure. I think my dreams into reality, with the assistance of action of course ;). It has never failed me. I have never failed myself. Only others have failed me.

Peace, love, and all things sparkly & regal.

-- Never doing "that" again

I don't think there is a particular age where you just finally "get" it, the answers to life's questions. During my sophomore year of college I had a conversation with a room-mate who I lived with during the summer term.

She explained to me that you'll still get those "I thought I got it, whoa -- never doing that again" days no matter if you're 19,25,30, 60 years of age &--- beyond.

It's funny. I suppose that's what makes life so interesting. Once you feel you've solved an answer, a new one is presented or an old one is reintroduced.


AE QUOTE: When you believe you're at the cusp of life's bountiful treasures of answers you find yourself awestruck and pensive on seemingly "new" issues, only to find that it's a dull old one.


I had my moment again. I'll admit, "I still have a lot to learn and more "growing" up to do." There are so many things that have been presented to me these past few days & weeks, I will take it all with stride. In due time they will all reveal themselves.

Yesterday I baked some holidays treats. I've been getting real fond of baking & cooking as I've been marking my territory in my kitchen.

Chocolate chip mint cookies--- The scents warm up my quaint apartment, the second place I call home. There's a competition of scents, I've grown addicted to candles and I especially love the aroma of apple cinnamon sticks that mine gives off.

Production w/ Dreams 4 Youth



Yesterday felt like Spring, well close to it anyway. If only all days in December would be equally as beautiful! I can only dream, hope, and pray. I'm busy with several things today. One of them being, assisting in this production event for a not-for-profit. It should be a lot of fun. I sent out 68 reminder invites yesterday, so we will see. I'll see if I can sneak in some video footage.

I'll be busy.

Here are a few select snaps from the shoot, I know I promised full but I think it will be best that I release a little at a time.

My fitness blog has been updated today, I'm ending this week #4 with 114 miles ran since I started running in November.

Peace, Joy, & all things sparkly!

I suppose being busy has its perks? Check list of issues equates to blessings




I suppose being busy has its perks? Yes it does. I am sitting here with issues that others may glance at as being blessings. I suppose I should take my issues as blessings and react to them as such, praise and give thanks.

God is good.


My issues (blessings in disguise):





  • booking a trip to see my lovely family


  • figuring out if I should take a proposal to go to London early spring-- for a shoot!


  • wondering if I should paint this wall-- w/o knowing if I'll be accepted to go to a medical school out of state, if God plans it that way-- If I get accepted this cycle-- let us pray.


  • figuring out an article to write for this company about relationships-- it's been 7 days since my last one! This is how I make some money as a writer, besides this website


  • Wondering when I'll upload all my work for The Gem Project and get things back up to my "order" of business for 2010


  • following up for a possible researcher position for interview no.3 I hope, for brain cancer research--- my life's dream, well besides being a neurologist one day


  • Planning to meet new and old friends before the break of 2010


  • Being a better Christian than I was yesterday, you shall never rob me of mistakes--- I will make plenty-- I'll just try to do the "right" thing

I want to try to be the best in all that I do. Honestly, I am quite disappointed sometimes-- I am an odd sort off perfectionist, my mind is a circus yet I want order in my surroundings. Funny.

Life is a muffin-- I just can't seem to taste it-- I've found myself walking through it with a cold.
I fear it has robbed me of my senses to indulge in the satisfaction of that muffin. A cold.

I love life. I get bogged down with it all, but I CAN'T seem to shake off being busy. I suppose I won't even try, I was born this way--- I can imagine when everything is said and done---- I'd leave this world shaking in my bones.

Be powerful always my love.
