As another New Year approaches I can't help but reminisce on all the events that have transpired over my Entire life thus far, not just 2009.
Babies are on the way, and we mourn the loss of some very near and dear to us, but I am comforted by the fact that I know and believe that when we pass we are not gone, instead we are SPREAD OUT :}
>>>Rest In Peace Titi Josephine and Titi Ana <3
I'm currently on the verge of some very exciting prospects and career opportunities (aren't I always?! lol). Some of you know specifically what I'm referring to but for now I like to maintain a lil mystery around what I'm involved in (at least until I have some OFFICIAL News Flashes about those other thangs anyway :} ) To avoid sounding like a jerk I will let you know about my most important projects that I would LOVE for you to familiarize yourself with and spread the word about! I rekindled my relationship with DreamMaker Kids (visit www.dreammakerkids.com) and am their new Social Network Director! Basically I am the young face in charge of maintaining their online presence and communication via facebook.com/dreammkerkids, twitter.com/dreammkerkids and most importantly I will be doing more Motivational Speaking Engagements at the assemblies we setup at schools throughout Georgia!
Giving back to the community, especially under privelaged children is just so fantastically rewarding- and it's the ultimate gift to have ANYONE open up and say 'Kola you've inspired me! I appreciate you' - it's the gift that keeps on giving.
Speaking of reminiscing- when I was about seven years old I was quite the entreprenuer in school myself! I used to have so much fun selling comic books, cards and making and selling beaded jewelry, one of my favorite memories was of me wearing this BOYISH navy blue sweatshirt that had a zippered front pocket underneath some red embroidered #'s and letters and I put my lil hand in and counted $7!!! I was like OMG I'm BALLIN hahaha! (Back in the day when I only had to spend $.50 for a mini brown bag FULL of goodies! THat leaves $6.50 for who knows what?!) So what the heck happened?! LIFE Happened! LOL...
Kids are the PERFECT SPONGES for all the info we try and force OURSELVES to retain during all-to-often-drunken nights as UNDERGRADS (ahem ahem I won't name names lol) I think it's so important that we ALL do are part to LITERALLY Get down to eye-level with a kid whenever we can and TALK to them like ADULTS... Think about the adults you may have met, even once who influenced you as a child in a positive way. You can be the change you seek :) Children are our future!
Needless to say I have officially decided that my creative/artistic abilities and sheer LOVE of imagination will be expressed via 'Coki V!' My jewelry and accesories line! :) Coki stands for a nickname my poppa gave me (also happens to be the name of the lil Puerto rican frog- Hi Mom!) and V stands for VENUS- my ruling planet, a large part of the reason art, beauty, love and spirituality is so prevalent in my Life. It will be available for sale at http://www.cokiv.etsy.com/ and soon at a boutique near you!
So that's that for now... Oh yeah and I'm gonna get back into acting/improv lessons... Apparently I'm such a Character I think I oughta explore this field again just for the fun of it. If anything AMAZING happens (wassup spielberg?!) then it happens! LOL- I'm just gonna enjoy the ride!
LIFE is TOO SHORT not to enjoy the different cookies in the different jars lol... Ya might think I'm too busy or too 'EVERYWHERE' but I'm exactly on track as far as I'm concerned, cuz I'm HAPPY and I love what I do! It's not always easy being a Renaissance Chick but somebody's gotta do it! :)
