My Funny Valentine

Another V-day flying solo, yet today I feel beautiful, empowered and yes, even a bit sexy. Why, when most singles are either saying "Bah Humbug" or lamenting their lack of a special Valentine, am I celebrating life instead? It's simple...I am at peace, I am content, and I am loved. Most of all, I have seriously learned how to let go. God has provided me with such clarity regarding the men in my life...well, one man in particular. I have realized that the man I proclaimed my love for is not the one for me (at least not right now). I still love and care for him wholly and completely (I really do love you baby)...But I can't be with someone (or even entertain the thought of being with someone) who is still trying to find themselves, someone who lives in a world of self-induced chaos and mayhem...someone who's spiritual center seems undefined and somewhat shakey. I need peace and good-hearted laughter in my life. I need someone who puts God's will ahead of his own desires. Essentially, I need someone to challenge me, to provoke thought...not someone whose life seems centered around endless drama (either purposely or by chance).

I pray that my baby gets all that his heart desires and more...but more importantly, I hope and pray he finally fulfills the great plan that God has for his life and surrenders to that will, that the chaos and stress disappears, and peace is restored to his soul. I want everyone to feel the joy I have in my heart right now, joy that only comes from the Creator.

To all my past, present and future loves: Happy Valentine's Day

Peace & Blessings

Question for the Parents

Okay...as usual, I'm down to the wire trying to find the "perfect" gift for a few of my friends who have either had a child recently or are about to become parents. At least Verse made it easy and has a registry...but my other boy, who I love dearly like a brother, has not been so accommodating. He and his girl are not officially "together" so I was thinking of getting him the Emily crib so that when his little one comes to visit his bachelor pad, the baby actually has a real place to sleep...I know it's a lot for a non family member to spend on a gift, but like I said before, I love my friend dearly and would give him anything he needed in a second...and vice versa, that's when you know you are truly family. So what do you guys think? The kid isn't due til March, so I have some time.

The Circle of Life

There is so much in this life to be thankful for...family, friends, love. It's such a beautiful existence we live. People take so much for granted. But today, I see the beauty in the world around me. Life is a circle, in just two weeks, I have been witness to death, birth and the proclamation of love. I mean, one of my friends welcomed his baby girl into the world. At the same time, one of my good friends mourns the passing of a loved one...while yet another friend celebrates her engagement and upcoming wedding...this circle we live in is full of so many emotions...I just hope that everyone takes advantage of what this world has to offer...

On a separate note, does anyone know what makes an apprporiate first communion gift. I'm christian, but I'm a little ignorant when it comes to catholicism (my first serious boyfriend was catholic, so you would think I would have learned something, lol). I did come across a site for first communion gifts among other things, but there are a lot of choices. I don't know, I'm probably thinking too hard on this one...

Longevity & Prosperity

I come from such good genes. Everyone on both sides of my family look considerable younger than his or her actual age. It's a lovely problem to have, I'm just geeked that I still get carded at certain places when I go out. Anyway, the big news is that we are throwing a nice shindig for my grandmother's 80th birthday. Grandma turns 80 on Feb. 23rd, but we are having the gala (the planning is so beyond a party right now) on the 25th instead...which is going to be insane for me because I am flying to NYC the evening of Feb. 22 and coming back that Sunday just to go straight to the gala from the airport for the celebration. But that's how it goes...my life is truly a worldwind (hmmmm, am I spelling that correctly, ah well, not important). It is paramount that I find something cool and memorable to get as a gift for my grandma. I was checking out some christian gifts, and I think that she may really enjoy some of the items on the site. I guess I'll keep searching until something strikes my fancy. I will definitely post pics from the b-day party so that you all can see the family and all that jazz...

Oooohhhh, I want one...

I know y'all must be sick of hearing about my house...but I can't help but be excited about being a homeowner. I finally feel like a responsible adult:-) Anyway, I was searching around the internet (big surprise I know) and I found a site for address plaques. Yep, you read that correctly, an address plaque. I know my current home doesn't really warrant one of these lovely plaques, but when I get the right spot, preferably when I buy my next crib (which I hope is with a husband so that we can combine our income and get a really, really dope house), I'd like a plaque that says Whitten Residence (or applicable last name is I am married) right above the address...that would be too cute.

I think I also want a puppy. I'm not sure about kids at this point in life, but I'd really like a cute puppy that grows into a cool dog. And I don't want one of those punk dogs either, I don't need anything the size of my purse. I have to draw the line somewhere.

Let me Introduce Myself...

My name is Jameka, and I have yet another business venture, lol. I'm not sure if I officially announced my new company, JSW Media Group...but if I didn't, I am now. JSW Media Group is a consulting firm specializing in assisting individuals, small businesses and non-profit organizations with all of their communication, marketing and public relations needs. Our industry focus is: Fashion, Entertainment, Music, Publishing, and The Arts: Visual & Performing. I am also happy to announce that my good friend Jason "Verse" Anderson will be taking on the momentous task of buidling the corporate website and of course Chuck Holliday of URM fame, will assist with branding and promotions. I guess I'll need new business cards:-). Anyway, just wanted to keep all five of my loyal readers in the loop, lol.
