March 19th, 2012: Positive, Progressive and Prosperous!

WHOO! These past two plus years have been a doozy! Let's see? Where do I start?

  • I officially moved to Atlanta, GA in September of 2010;
  • Still a Grad student with my current MBA program all the while looking for work;
  • Couldn't eat like I needed to due to lack of funds (moved to ATL w/o a job), which in turn had me losing weight;
  • Became employed in December, 2010;
  • Became a Mary Kay Consultant in Feb, 2011;
  • Joined some professional organizations during this time;
  • Struggled with my coursework all the while;
  • Started a new position in November 2011, under the same company;
  • Joined a church in January, 2012;
  • Became "unemployed" in March of 2012
  • Started exploring other options in other companies in the city.

GOD took me out of an environment that became somewhere I didn't need to be. My intent on moving to Atlanta was to work in Broadcast Journalism, (specifically in Radio) and I am at a point where I have the free time to pursue that goal. Atlanta is booming with opportunity and I couldn't be more grateful to GOD for him bringing me safely to GA, by myself, and having this chance to thrive and live here. This is the right time for me being here, and I gotta say, if you want to do ANYTHING in your life, DON'T let people, things, situations hold you back! GOD will protect you along the way and will give you the strength you need to survive; just WALK BY FAITH!!

I can give advice all day, but the one other thing I can also tell you (the person reading this), is to ALWAYS surround yourself with positive, progressive and prosperous people! You shan't fail when you do that because you are in the company of others who are like-minded, as you are, and you CHOSE to lift yourself up. If you even have to change your group of friends/circle of people you hang with, do it! No one can/should be upset at you because you chose to better yourself and those that aren't on the same page aren't willing to go there with you. Either get on or get off...

Last thing, I promise, lol! If you DON'T have this, please go and purchase "The Secret" DVD by Rhonda Byrne. When you buy it AND watch it, let ME know what the "secret" really is and what you thought of it.

I hope I was able to inspire someone by this post. They will be coming more frequently, so stay tuned!!


A helpful quote(s) from my Pastor, Pastor Lee Jenkins:

"Never put a conjunction where GOD puts a period."

"You will never reach your PROMISED LAND if you don't have FAITH."



Peace and love,

V. Wade

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
