New Year: What’s It To You?
I rang in 2010 in deep thought and for a few hours in gut busting laughter making fun of youtube vids (exciting, I know) with my crazy ass BFF who is the kind of person who finishes my sentence before I know how I want to end it. I passed up alcoholic deep throating and overpriced sweat drenched nightspots for a night of serenity and simplicity solo….Its grapefruit juice in my glass I swear!
Aside from the sniggling, I had to examine myself harder than I ever had in the past. I found a lot of fears and inadequacies hiding in my bed sheets, underneath that layer of dust on my window sill, and underneath the dishes piled up in my sink. I began to clean and installed some new bright white light bulbs around the apartment. It only occurred to me the night before that I had been living in partial darkness for a few months. I knew I had to replace the bulbs but for some strange reason I found myself waiting for all the bulbs to blow simultaneously until I was left in darkness.
I woke up the next morning feeling a new positive and strong energy, Stronger than I had felt in a while.
I made a promise to myself that I would only claim the New Year and stick to my goals. I’ve been able to think of nothing but the plans I have for the New Year- meditate.
I also made a list of everything I wasn’t pleased with last year. I have faults and weaknesses that I need to acknowledge. I had to really examine them after I broke down this holiday. Why was it so difficult for me to accept the reality of the situation? Who was really at fault here? What could I have done differently?
That list almost made me not want to continue with Goddess Intellect. I figured, how am I to lead, inspire and entertain, if I don’t have my shit together?
I’m hard on myself, harder than anyone could be because “responsibility is a hard pill to swallow”.
I know I’ve been MIA since Christmas Eve, but I have decided to take a little break from the blog. I don’t want to give an exact date or time because I know when my intuition gnaws at my brain I have no choice but to post.
February is the official anniversary of Goddess Intellect. I figure that will be when I return, but please do not quote me on this!! I have a few surprises up my sleeve; including a vlog (video blog) with a special guest or two…we’ll see. Its about time the family be able to put a face, voice and crazy facial expressions to the name!!
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone for reading.
I will still be active on the blog scene, making my rounds at various sites. I have done a hell of a lot over the past year, so please dig into the archives, and share them with your friends and family.
To make it easier for your lazy behinds I have posted links to my favorite past posts:
I Want What She Has: Emulating the Image Of a Different Race: The Ganguro girls really shocked many of the readers. This was fun to reaserarch.
I Am My Karma Pt.2: Discernment or Balderdash?: Ummm I need to print this out and do this for myself..Discernment is where it’s at!!!
Blogging While Brown Pt.4: BAP Living Radio Show: My radio debut, I really enjoyed doing the show and this is something I would like to do in the future.

Claim this year as your own,
Goddess Intellect










Awaking the return……

Hey JSin welcome!! The best way to keep up with me is to subscribe via email. I will def be paying your blog a visit. Make yourself comfy, browse the archives =)

Well Tee…can’t say I didn’t see this one coming. I’ve been struggling for the last few weeks myself, as you know, trying to inject new life and energy into my own blogging. It’s the ebb and flow of what we do. Funny, I’ve been thinking about ‘vlogging’ myself in 2010. Anyway, I wish you the best as you sort things out. I’m sure we’ll be in touch in the meantime. And I swear to God if even think about passing up on the DC BWB trip, you and I are going to have an issue. Hold it down sis. Sometimes we have to go through it to grow through it.

As far as I’ve been reading your blog is always interesting.
We don’t want you to be perfect..we want you to be human..with feelings, emotions, up and downs…and etc.
I enjoy your feedback you give me on my blog. I actually look forward to what Ms. Goddess has to say.
Thank you for being you.. I can’t wait to see your video blogs.. I hope I have my own home comp by then!!

“Thank you for being you”
lmao…my boss always says that to me..love it!
Thanks for the encouragement..I am my toughest critic, have a slight perfectionist disorder, but my laziness & indesicive tendencies trumps it..I’ll be back soon..I already have the shakes lol

I feel like I know all of you and it just clicked that we’ve never heard each other’s voices…well except for Mr. Nightfall. Looking forward to the vlog.
“That list almost made me not want to continue with Goddess Intellect…”
Ooh chile! Been there myself. I love being away on this vacation. Solitude, locked off in the hillside. New perspective on a whole bunch of things.

Goddess,
I think I can speak for the gang when I say the girls @ PMS love you! And I’m extra late (because I’d been away myself, trying to revamp my own mess), but the site looks very nice! Take as much time as you like, because I know you’re going to come back FIERCE! “Do You”.
