Another Day's Journey

I spoke about this months ago, but I can finally let the cat out of the bag. The major project I was working on was a full length testimony of a breast cancer survior. I was the ghostwriter for this project, but the story is completely that of the true author, Pastor Carolyn Tyson-Colbert. I was simply the vessel God used to organize the thoughts and get everything down on paper. I would definitely appreciate your support by each one of you ordering a copy of this book. Pastor Carol is not selling the book, she is taking donations so that she can continue to give the book away free of charge to breast cancer patients who are undergoing treatment. It was an honor being a part of this project, and I hope that each one of you is blessed in the process of supporting this ministry to help those in need of a little hope. Here's an excerpt from the book:

Without a test, there can be no testimony…

There are so many people all over the world who are seeking shelter from all the craziness and evildoing that is far too common in today's society. There are those who search near and far for inspiration, but never find it. Inspiration can sometimes be found in the most unlikely places. Sometimes a simple word can inspire, or sometimes even a smile can do the job. But the best inspiration of all comes from those who have the gift to inspire. Pastor Carolyn Tyson-Colbert is one of those people. There is a beautiful light around her that draws you in and makes you want to get closer. Her indomitable spirit not only inspires, but makes you reevaluate what is truly important in life.

Pastor Colbert is a born survivor and living testament to all the blessings God has in store for those who truly believe in Him. Her powerful testimony epitomizes strength, power and praise. This empowering story provides an intriguing account of Pastor Colbert's life as a soldier in Desert Storm, numerous critical illnesses and her greatest test of all—her diagnosis and valiant triumph over breast cancer. "Without a test, there can be no testimony"— truer words have never been spoken. Share in Pastor Colbert's courageous journey as she explores the intricacies of her Faith, ultimate surrender to God's will, and the fulfillment of her divine calling as a minister of the Gospel. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1). Faith does indeed move mountains: this is a story of faith, this is a story of truth, and most importantly, this is a story of how God works wonders in all of our lives. Pastor Colbert's Another Day's Journey: Looking Towards Heaven inspires those without inspiration to have faith in God and themselves. It shows how much joy there is in being a true soldier for the Lord and an ambassador for Christ.

Whether you are saved or searching, this touching story will have something for you…it is for both the hope filled and the hopeless people in this world. Reach out and let Pastor Colbert's words fill you with inspiration. It is time for us all to start looking towards Heaven.

The Proof is in the Pudding...well pie

Some of my guy friends have accused me of not being able to cook because I am so involved in the pursuit of such anti-typical homemaking activities. Some of them are under the erroneous notion that because I am so "independent" and "strong" that tasks like baking, cooking and taking care of other household chores seem beneath me. While I'll admit that I absolutely hate washing dishes with a passion (I'd rather clean any other room in the house than to subject my delicate members to the sure fate of being labled as 'dishpan hands')--whatever. Anyway, so to the doubters, here is evidence of the fruits of my labor this lovely pre-Thanksgiving eve:



Happy Eating!

Holiday Cheer

I love the holidays. I have been in such a good mood all week, and it’s been great. I get to attend my first official holiday soiree of the season Saturday night at this swanky country club. Should be a good time. I love dressing up. I decided against going with a date this year, I had such a good time with all the handsome bachelors last year that I decided to try my luck again…I may also go out tomorrow night as well, one of my promoter friends is throwing a nice little shindig that could be fun. We’ll see what happens.

I’m thinking of doing another New Year’s get together…last year, I had a very cool gathering with a handful of close peeps, think there was about six or seven of us. We had a ball, I made this breakfast spread which included waffles with any kind of topping you could think of…I even had fresh strawberries and real maple syrup ( I only have maple syrup in my house, I don’t fool with that other stuff)…I love entertaining and having people over. One of the reasons why I purchased my home was so that people could have a place to come over and chill. My house has definitely become the spot, hence the reason why I have 23 people coming over for dinner tomorrow. It’s going to be so much fun…my fam and friends are all comedians, including my mom…she’s the true jokester, she always has everyone cracking up all through dinner. It should definitely be a good time. If anyone is in the Charlotte area, and needs somewhere to go, look me up, I got room. What’s an extra couple of people when I am already gonna have a full house.

I would love to go somewhere for Christmas, but with all of the projects I gotta finish up by the end of the year, there is no way I can leave….it would be too irresponsible. So, my traveling will have to wait until 07…And it’ll be nonstop then…I have trips scheduled to NYC, Miami, DC, Atlanta, Chicago (twice), Hawaii, St. Louis and Indianapolis. Crazy. I’ll barely be home, which is just how I like it. I may be taking a corporate job soon where I’ll get to travel at least one a month, that’ll be so ideal for me. It’s funny ‘because I always tend to travel with an entourage, you would swear I’m already famous. I have a fashion designer/stylist friend who is always willing to roll (and it doesn’t hurt that she is a former make up artist as well), my publicist is also a good friend of mine, one of my models who doubles as a marketing intern, and my little sister is also a burgeoning stylist (and an excellent personal assistant when I actually pay her, lol)…So I’m already rolling with a glam squad so to speak, I guess I’m ready for my close up, hahahahahaha. Now all I need is a personal photographer, any takers?

The poetry book is coming along quite nicely. I’m too excited about that project, and I hope you all will support and buy a copy when it’s ready.

I guess that’s it for now, I’ll be sure to give you all the post Thanksgiving wrap up. Have a great day people. Love ya.

Peace & Blessings

This Social Butterfly Takes Flight


Being an entrepreneur is hard work. Interesting and captivating, but hard work nonetheless. Last week was, to say the very least, challenging. But I can't say that I would want it any other way. I love my life, especially with all of its twists, turns and mountainous roadblocks from time to time. Life in itself is call for celebration. I am a single, well-educated, culturally and spiritually aware woman, who isn't afraid to express herself and take risks. Yeah, I may think too much sometimes, but it never stops me from living.

Professionally speaking, I am one of the driving forces behind the production of one of the most vibrant and intriguing independent publications on the East Coast. I have a great business partner who complements me in such a way that we make an incredible team. I have been afforded the pleasurable opportunity of being able to openly pursue my dreams in the entertainment, fashion and publishing fields. What more could I ask for? It's time for me to take flight and soar. My limits are only bound by my imagination.

I am letting God lead my life and living my dreams on my own terms. Not many can say that in this day and age. I am not afraid to be unique, and I am not afraid to be vulnerable. It's that vulnerability that keeps me grounded and in tune to what is important in life: God. Love. Family. Friends and being in service to humanity.

I guess, to sum it all up...Today and everyday, I am thankful to God for my talents, my loving family and beautiful friends--both on and offline.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday. Wish me luck, I have 23 people coming over for dinner, lol

Peace & Blessings

What Could Have Been, Will Never Be

I don't know where this blog is coming from today, but it's coming from a very deep and emotional place. My mood is indescribable because it's seesawing between grateful and deflated. I'll expound:

I am trying to fight that feeling of doom and gloom that sometimes rears its head when I am trying to stay upbeat and positive. I had such a great week, and then I made the mistake of allowing one statement deflate that great feeling and replaced it with something akin to dispair and pity. That euphoria was quickly replaced with this overwhelming dread that "what could have been, will never be." Yes indeed, I am talking about relationships again. A certain someone often tells me that I think too much. And for once, I think that I am going to agree with him. Why think too much about a situation that only one of you (meaning me) wants to change. He's content with his personal life without me in it, recent events have made that obvious to me. So if that's the case, and I know it is, what's keeping me hopeful that things will work out between us. I've initiated every visit, every trip to spend time together. What has he done? Other than remind me that he's not ready. What really sucks is that I know (I can feel it at my very core) that we would be marvelous together...an absolute great match. However, as cliche as it sounds, love is a two way street, so I am picking up my heart off of the floor, dusting it off and locking it up for safe keeping until He can man up and come get me. If he never comes, he wasn't the one. If he comes, then I will welcome him with open arms because I will know without a doubt that I am what he wants. That doesn't mean that my life stops in the interim, y'all should know me better than that.

So love if you are reading this, consider this my way of saying: I really, really miss you.

BTW- The "courter" is still in the picture vaguely...he lost some brownie points the other day, but all in all, he's still a very nice guy, who, unlike some, is actually making plans to come visit me and has asked me to come and visit him---all without being asked or coerced. Still doesn't mean I want to date him, he recently asked me what he needed to do to be number one in my life. I didn't know what to tell him, it's not as if there is a scoring system, lol.

I can't write anymore, I'm all over the place with this post...and I need to get some sleep before my shoot in the morning. Jan & Jason are going to make me look fabulous, so the least I can do is not have bags under my eyes. Although, I think I will have to stop by Starbucks on my way to the studio. I'll continue this another day

Withdrawal

I'm having some serious blog withdrawal. I haven't had a serious entry in weeks, and it's been so difficult for me to make time to get all of these thoughts out of my head...and right now isn't the right time either. Just wanted to let everyone know (all three of my regular readers, lol, I'm sooo popular), that I will be back and posting like crazy this week. I have a lot to catch everyone up on...it's been a grueling/exhausting/emotionally taxing last few weeks. Thanks for all of the emails and messages on myspace checking up on me. The love has been much appreciated. Until later.

Peace & Blessings,
J
