The New Year

Well HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I hope everyone has had a good year thus far.

I have had a good one and my 2009 was one that I will remember for many things. More importantly, for learning experiences. 2010 is the year I NEED to change who I am, in every sense of the word. That is a cliche', but a true one that I will stick to this year.


Last year I made some big changes in my life: moving out of state to starting 2 new degrees post bachelor's degree. I, to say the least, have had my struggles with many things, but that is a main reason why I am using this year to bounce back and free myself of any and ALL excuses I have made in the past.


I also have made personal choices to distance myself from things and people. If anyone gets offended by the things I say or do, believe me, it is not intentional. I have to do what makes ME happy, not what makes others happy. I have to be sane and take better care of myself and I can no longer worry about the little things. That includes people and situations. I need to start surrounding myself with people who are going places and doing things successfully. My pinnacle predecessor is the lovely Oprah Winfrey. She has attained a level of success that, to an extent, I want to obtain. I don't believe I want to make as much money as she has or be as famous as her, but as far as the goals she has accomplished and how she got there is what motivates me even more to stop the B.S. All in all, I know what I must do to succeed and I have been blocking myself from "just doing it."


I do have a Twitter @vnacole, so if u ever wanna hit me up on there, u can. Please send a msg, first, then I'll reply :) Other than that, I don't use any other social networking sites. I am on LinkedIn, however, but that's not social, that's professional.

Peace and love and keep your heads to the sky!

    That's the way to do it. Stay focused. Stay determined. And keep learning!

Short and Sweet 4.23.12

Hey everyone! Glad to be back this week writing to you :) Thank you for choosing to read my blog and if you would, please comment and subscribe to it! I will make this short since I do plan on writing another post later on this week. I am always inspired to speak on something whenever I have a great conversation with someone. Tonight, I had one of those wake-up "calls" with LaTanya O'Kelley , a publicist here in Atlanta. She and I had been meaning to connect and communicate, however, due to our lives crossing so much, we hadn't had the chance. Tonight we spoke on the phone for nearly TWO HOURS about any and everything that came to our minds that correlates to what we BOTH are doing for ourselves. She actually gave me more information than I could have EVER asked for and I am so GRATEFUL for that. Sometimes, my motivation comes from within, other times it comes from other people who BELIEVE IN ME. Most times, a combination of both of those circumstances come f

March 28th, 2012: Is It Wrong?

I posed that question because there are things that I do (although not perfect at), that I would expect others to do, but DON'T do. Is wrong for me to think that people will be courteous? Is it wrong for me to think that gratitude could/should go a long way? Is it wrong for me to move away from someone who sneezes/coughs, while being sick, without covering their mouth? Is it wrong to move on from a job and start your own career? Is it wrong to NOT settle for what you KNOW is not in GOD's plan for you? Is it wrong to expect adults to ACT as such? Is it wrong to be respectful to others' privacy? Is it wrong to put someone down due to their misfortune? Is it wrong to expect children to behave or to be raised properly?* Is it wrong of me to speak properly, as I was raised, AND NOT be judged? Is it wrong to be well-mannered AND NOT be judged? Is it wrong to also write in proper English, as I was taught, AND NOT be judged? Is it wrong to live in a way that isn't what SOCIETY

Being Unemployed: Good or Bad Thing?

Hey everyone! I can't believe it has been so long since my last posting.  Did you miss me???? LOL! This will be a short post as I was inspired to write the recent on-goings of my life this month in reference to the title. On May 2nd, I had the AWESOME opportunity to be an extra in a movie being shot here in Atlanta.  Me AND my car were shot for some scenes.  Hopefully, you will see me in it when the movie comes out NEXT May!  That moment and since that moment have really been great for me because I don't have the "9-5" job.  I have the free time to pursue GOD'S gifts and to also put energy in what TRULY makes me happy.  I don't want to work simply for the money or for the "stability" of a FT job.  God has blessed me with other money-making opportunities that will work out for me in the long run.  The money may not be instant, but I am patient to wait for that opportunity to materialize.  This chance is GOD'S way of telling me to take advant
