Many thanks to Dawn at Barefoot Blogs who is the super talented designer who created and set up this blog website for me. I looked all over the place and could not find a blogger designer who had equivalent expertise and creativity with such competitive prices. XOXO- love her much!
As I begin my rebranding process and get my content focused from rants to fulfilling my life purpose in my advocacy and entrepreneur coaching for youth and teen she has helped to start me on the right path with my vehicle to spread the word! So thanks again Dawn, you're fantabulous!

It was from my blog. It said that I was neglecting her/him. I am not sure. I suppose its gender neutral.
I have been really stressed out...good stress I would say (if it is a such thing). It is the kind of stress you want to have. Positive energy and fun projects abound and all around. Last week I traveled to NYC to see 2 of my Young Renegade CEO's get Global Youth Entrepreneur of the Year Awards, presented by NFTE.
And another one of my Young Renegade CEO's received the Fannie Mae Foundation Youth Leader of the Year Award for 2008 presented by Leadership Greater Washington. Big thanks to President Tim Kime and Event Coordinator Tina Wells. They were so thoughtful and hospitable. Really grateful for the opportunity to meet them.
In other adventures, I met Dr. Farrah Gray. The whole weird kinda cool thing is the day before I met him I had purchased one of his books for my 11 year old nephew. So my nephew was reading this book aloud and then the next day we went to see a Business Plan Competition that Derron was a finalist in. And low and behold if Dr. Gray wasn't the featured speaker. And even cooler was that he could only take 3 questions from the audience and one of the questions he took was mine. So I made it good and I made a promise to make good on his request to network and pool resources with everyone around them. So in front of the entire room I nominated myself to take responsibility to connect everyone in the room. I met him on March 1, 2008 and 37 days later I had gathered testimonials from all the youth entrepreneurs there, got letters of support, donation for space to host workshops, met VP's of Fortune Companies, met some local City Council folks and the idea popped into my head to create a webisode series geared towards teens that talk about contemporary issues. And you know what I learned-
Soul Purpose: Living the dream is largerly based on your ability to move in sync with your own reality.
It's so simple that it's complex you know. Over the past 37 days I was working full time WITHOUT pay to pool resources, gather testimonials and such and respecting the forces of the universe. I said who knows, maybe this could be my calling so let's just see what happens. During that time period, I was contracted to do a large job over the course of one week equal to several months pay (already completed the job) and I got included in the bid proposal on 2 other substantial contracts. And to think- I wasn't even looking for work ;-) That is always how it works huh? The more you put out there, the more things come back to you. So try it...really try it. And it WILL happen for you too. I promise ;-)
Until Next Time.
Love and Laughter-
Shonika
