Earn Some Extra Cash

Money has been a little tight for me every now and again.  I've been out of Corporate America for a little while now and needed to make sure my mortgage and bills were paid.  I had to also make sure food was on the table and other basic necessities were taken care of while working on my jewelry designs as well.  It's amazing how your mind will spin into a tizzy when your ends don't quite meet.   I have a suggestion about making things balance a little better.  Take a look at signing up for www.instantpaydaynetwork.com/vjg30 as a means of making some extra money, there are no out of pocket expenses, and it's an honest day's work from the comfort of your own home.  I think it'll help.

A Note To Mommy...

Mrs. Annie Willie Bussey Goode

Happy Mother's Day Mommy.  You are all that a child could wish for.  God so truly blessed me to have you as my Mother.  Not all women are fit or designed to hold the title of Mother, but you have bestowed all the best of this honor upon me.  All my life I have tried to emulate you as best I could but I am still working to make myself better.  By protecting, nurturing, loving, teaching, demonstrating, supporting, advising, counseling, and praying with and for me: these are just a few of the words used to describe how you taught me to be a woman.  These lessons learned still come to mind while trying to carve out my place in this world and become a better person.  I miss and love you so much.  I know you and God guide my footsteps.  I can feel it.  Thank you for talking with me in my dreams.  I cannot wait to see, touch, and talk with you again.  
Oh, what a glorious day it will be.    

I Love You Mommy!

Happy Mother's Day

Can You Sit A Spell?

Just wanted to let you know that I have added more designs to my online website www.cmeicuoriginals.etsy.com.  Please drop to the bottom of this page to see the new designs and buy.  If you have a commission request for a design, I would love to hear about it.  Please provide feedback on what you think about my jewelry designs or any of the articles from the blog.

I have been blessed, so far, to live the dream I have always wanted; creating beautiful jewelry and photographs.  Over the last few months, I have met a lot of people with similar interests and we seem to feed off of one another to empower, support and encourage each other.  Thanks to you all.  

Everyday I always take a deep breath, give thanks to God, set forth a plan of action, and tweak or fine tune my objectives along the way.  Social media, studio time, freelance writing and Photoshop are taking up a great deal of my time as of late.  I have had some great obstacles placed in front of me and hopefully with the grace of God, I will overcome them without being ruffed up too much. This is a daunting task when you want to make your own way, be self sufficient and punch your own clock.  I would love to hear your pearls of wisdom as I don't know it all but would definitely appreciate hearing and learning from you.  

Love always,

V
