No Air

The Jordan Sparks & Chris Brown song "No Air" makes me scratch my head. Was I EVER so fickle to believe that without A "male" in my life I couldn't breath? Maybe it's the foolishness of today's misguided youth. Or, maybe it's the thought of being so much in love that the idea of continuing to breath is more than a mind can conceive. Give me a break (and pass me A barf bag and something to settle my stomach) at such a re-darn-diculous notion. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm as romantic (or "romantical" as John Leguizamo said in his stand up act) as the next woman, but why in the world would you give anyone that much power?

Dreams

How many of us have them? If we are lucky we all do.

Moving Ahead or Just Moving?

I am so not a mover. I am a settle in and get comfortable and grow roots type of person. So, with this in mind, why am I so determined in my desire to "move ahead?" Why not be content where I am in this moment in time? I would say, it is because I know there is something better, more challenging, more mentally stimulating down the line and complacincy just doesn't feel right. So, am I working on moving ahead or just plain old moving?

Quit or Press Forward

So, at what point must one realize it's a lost cause? Do you continue? Business as usual or keep on pressin' on? See, I'm conflicted. Part of me feels that I've fought "the good fight" and should just stop before I'm too far in without a toe hold. But then there's that "other" part of me that refuses to quit. She's driven. A vehicle all her own. Hard headed. It'll take more then a brick wall to stop me from reaching my goal. A motivated visionary who can reach out her hand and just about touch the next step. She. Is me.

Trying to Tread Water While Drowning In Tears

I've been working SO hard this semester and getting what feels like nowhere. My plan went awry early in the semester and rebounding just doesn't seem to be in the cards. I'm almost paralyzed with fear that I will fail this semester. What should I do?

WOW

It's a sobering feeling when you find out that you've changed your educational and career goals for someone else, and they would NOT have done the same for you.

Musing While Layin in the Cut

There are times when I wonder whether or not it's time to go. The fact that leaving is even a question makes me wonder "what's REALLY good?" Why am I here? What does the future hold? How long must I wait for my true direction to manifest itself TO ME?

I'm in relax and lay in the cut mode right now. However, January will be here sooner than I know. I'd better get with it and finish one of my books before that time comes.

Next Level

Well, I'm done. I've finally finished earning my degree in Business Management. *WHEW* It was a long HARD road. Sometimes the road was MUCH harder than I expected it to be but I dug in, stuck with it, and got it done. I'm on to my next academic feat. The plan is to obtain degrees at the University of Maryland University College simultaneously. My majors will be Business Management and Human Resources. Yep, I seem to be a glutton for punishment. THAT is part of the next level.

The other part of the next level is to make some positive career changes. I'm presently looking outside of NY for another gig. Taking a gig in another state will/may require leaving the hubby here in NY. Oh well, oh, well, a sistah has gotta do what she's gotta do if she wants to get ahead. It is what it is...I say that completely tongue in cheek since this is really one of the hardest moves I'll ever make. TRUST.

It's Been A Minute

Wow, I've been so busy I haven't been keeping up with my spot. I'll be back at some point and time this weekend to post an update *Holds hand up* Diva's Honor. Until then............peace.
