ECSU homecoming

I needed this. Re confirmation of your value.  Homecoming.
My school.  My friends.  My sorors and "bros"-ques/kappas/sigmas/grooves /aphiqu and my sisters -aka,zeta,sigma Gamma rhos..

As soon as I hit the North Carolina border. .I relax. I hit Ec I am giddy. I walk on campus....I really am Vickie Chill.

I hung out with sorors that I looked up to...I so enjoyed them. I hung with my ls and family. I hung with my villa gang sorors.  I continued to build love friendship with sorors of different lines.

This weekend is so important to me. It recharges me. You have no idea as to how positive words..received and given can touch and empower. This weekend words of love and friendship was given. Support was given effortlessly.  Hugs and hospitality.

This is homecoming.  This is Ecsu homecoming.  This is HBCU Homecoming.

Why Me?

I fucked up. I was chasing the money and forgot about the process.  I was chastised and in hindsight; I was wrong.

I did not get the part time opportunity that I was perfect for and was perfect for me. I am disappointed again. I just dont get it and I am sadden about it.
However, I move on.

Lesson one, Never Chase the Dollar.
Lesson two, Remember the process and your role in it.
Lesson three, Let it Go.

Life fucks with you. Yet, we still got to fuck with life. No matter, what...as long as we are alive....we got to keep pushing...even if we are the cause of the fuck up.

My anniversary

Today is my 7th anniversary.  7 yrs ago all was right in my world. My family was intact. My mom was alive. I married my best friend.  T and I have been through everything together. Sickness and health. Richer and poorer. Crazy ass highs and fucked up lows. We stand.

I often look back at other relationships and I think of what could of been; then  I say naaaa...God gave me T. The smartest,  slickest, funnest,  finest and toughest dude ever. T loves me. T likes me. T is absolutely the best dude for me. He is the dude who comes through in a clutch. He is the first man to give me a ring. He makes me laugh and smile. I feel safe. He is the first man to believe in me. He is my safe haven. He is the first man to make me feel safe.

They say you marry your Daddys,  I agree. My daddy with all his "stuff" was the best man in the world and I am so glad God saw fit to bring a man like my daddy to me.

Happy anniversary T. You are the love of my life and at times the bane of my existence and I would not have it any other way.

Rug pulled out or push forward

I just found out the last of my retirement funds will come this month.

Just like when unemployment ran out. I am nervous. I will get a very small retirement. But it will all be on me and Terry. I got to push forward and create business, this aint a game folks, this is real.

I can do this.
The rug has not been pulled out, I just got a harder push going forward.

I can do this!!!

I will do this!! There are folks with greater barriers then me , doing it.

No shorts, I got this...

Hope

On 9/30/15, Newport News Rentry Council launched our 1st job fair. We had 15 employers and 50 participants. We had Mr. Zarif who inspired and electrified the audience.  We had speakers who were informative about the bonding program and how participants can report any discrimination allegations.

We received rousing accolades from employers, participants and speakers. 

We only have a committee of 6 and we made it happen.  Our goal was to ensure that our participants did not waste their time and we were ensured that they did not.
Most of all, we saw men and women with their heads held up high.

On 9/30/2015, we learned what HOPE looked like.
