I'm not answering the phone today. I will not answer the door. I need this day to myself. So tomorrow I can soar.
I want to reminisce on 2007.
Sort through the lessons and file them on the shelf. I want to meditate and recreate. I want to reconnect with my inner-self .
I need healing energy for the coming new year, to energize and renew my body, my mind, and my spirit. No one else's woe can help me today, Cause when I hear, I have to live it.
And I don't mind, not usually. Hey, you got a problem, you can use me. But not today, cause today's my day. My baby's upstairs, Zion and Sampson are around, And my Mighty Master's beside me.
He needs this time alone with me to work on me and mine. I am a recluse for just this day, But tomorrow I will shine.
And once I'm brightly shining, I'll have so many rays to share. So please, let me be for just...this...day,
and tomorrow I'll be there.
Peace, Love, & Light, Vee

Is anyone as happy as I am about the Sex and the City Movie? I absolutely loved this show. I loved the theme music. I loved the characters. I adored the men in their lives. I loved the fashion, the busy day to day humdrum - which was never humdrum, by the way, the chance meetings while sitting outside some trendy breakfast eatery, and the ambiance of big city night life. Being I'm a Georgia girl, I lived vicariously through these women. And I most enjoyed the realness of it as the ladies allowed us to catch a glimpse or two into the wonderfully complicated and most times, chaotic lives of single women in the new millennium. Not to mention seeing which guest celebrity was going to be on this week. And they were as varied as the plots themselves, ranging from the mayor of New York, to well-known actors/actresses, high fashion models, famed dancers, and the list goes on.
For me, I don't really have a favorite show these days. Girlfriends is the closest I've come. And don't get me wrong, I love that show too. I always call it, "West Coast Sex and the City with a little brown sugar." But for the most part, whatever I happen to catch when I turn on the TV and scroll the million and one channels is what I watch. I can never remember which night that show that made me laugh so hard came on last week, and so I miss it. Or either I'm working. And sometimes - and this is the most heartbreaking - I may actually realize a good show is coming on that night, but fall asleep before I get to see it.
I know, I must get TiVo!
But anyway, that was never the case during the Sex and the City Days. Sunday nights were mine and mine alone. If I was off, I had a set ritual to prepare myself for my wonderful date with my dreamy HBO "Lovah!" Only true Sex and the City fans will catch this one and say it right. If I was working, and back in those days I worked day shift, getting off at 7:15pm with a 30-minute drive home, I'd make sure I got off in time to make it home by 8. I was like a kid on Saturday morning watching cartoons with my hands in the cookie jar. I wouldn't answer the phone. And you dare not ring my bell. Not until HBO had kissed me goodnight and said those magic words, "Stay tuned for scenes from next week's episode!"
So no one was more thrilled about the talk of the Sex and the City movie. I have to admit, I didn't really believe it at first, but was still thrilled by the thought. Then when the day came and I knew it was really going to happen, all the talk came about Kim Cattrall not being on board. OMG! What was Sex and the City without Samantha? I know Sarah Jessica was the star, but it just would not have worked without Kim. Can you say peanut butter and jelly without the jelly? I can. Give me something to drink already, before I choke! Good, but kinda dry.
Sex and the City is coming to the big screen in a feature film adaptation of the hit HBO television series. The film will follow the continuing adventures of the series' four main characters - Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda - as they live their lives in Manhattan four years after the series ended. Stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon are all on board to reprise their roles, while the film will be written and directed by Michael Patrick King, who was executive producer of the original television series. Additionally, Chris Noth, David Eigenberg, Evan Handler, and Jason Lewis will return as the women's love interests. Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson (Dreamgirls) has also joined the cast of the film and will play Carrie Bradshaw's assistant, a new character to be introduced in the film. Sex and the City is scheduled for a May 30th release.
Take a look at the sneak preview.
Now if we could just get the Six feet Under movie underway, life would just be grand... hint, hint!
Hey you guys. I want to tell you about a girlfriend of mine who has started her own journey to health and fitness. She's decided to treat her body like the temple it was created to be. Her goal is to achieve optimal health by eating right, and feeding her body the fuel it needs to be as lively, active, and productive as possible. She's decided to go raw! It was a road she decided to take, and one I was actually thinking about taking myself after speaking to her one night. She got me thinking...which is exactly what her blog was intended to do. Her usage of word, her phrasing, it's like she's right there in the room with you just chatting away.
She's real, and she's deep. So go and check her out, if you dare to overstand and be enlightened!
to work on me and mine.
