All the assignments have been completed, all the papers written, all the test taken and now...I get my degree!!! I feel like I have been in school all my life. Technically I guess I have. But tonight I hand in my last paper. My senior thesis...and guess what it's on...being a shopaholic! Go figure.
Maybe I should have gotten my degree in financial management instead of business management, because God knows I need some financial management.
So after tonight I am officially a college grad...or at least my classes are done. Now I can focus 100% on my baby...By Renee Visions...she needs a lot of attention.
Should I go back for my Masters? I will regret it the first week of classes. Then be elated by completion. Hummm...I will think about it.
For now I will bask in the glory of finishing something I started years ago and moving on to the next level.
I can't wait to see what's waiting for me there. Publishing is my new future and I am going to change the game in this industry. I was born for this. Finally my dreams are reality and my visions are being realized. This next level is going to be a major scene in the movie of my life, so get ready.
The book WILL be out soon. As you all know I am the Editor-In-Chief of Street Connfinement Magazine...look for major moves there. I am growing everywhere. Hope to see you there!
Always Loved

Crystal Clear
Everyday is a blessing, a new opportunity to go out and show the world what you are made of. Today is the most important day for 2 reasons:
1. You will never get it back.
2. You're not guaranteed tomorrow.
So therefore, you must live everyday to its greatest potential. As a new business owner I found that I have to write list. Schedule my day so that I can accomplish as much if not all the items off of my list.
I have to be very disciplined because no one is waking me up and calling me to come into work. I just have to do it.
When I walked away from my day job. I promise it was not an easy decision; but the moment I made it I felt free and completely in control. I will not lie and say I had it all figured out, I really still don't. I am like an infant learning how to live in this new big world I was be nurtured for all that time. But I'd rather be growing than feeling trapped and stagnant.
Plus I live by faith and I promise everything inside me told me I was doing the right thing...How could I ignore it? How could anyone?

Everything is riding on my shoulders...And I love it!
This is just a taste for me. I feel my potential is to run a fortune 500 at the very least.

I am going to post some pictures of the office so you can see how far BRV has come. I'd love your feedback.
My visions are Crystal Clear and I have dove in head first now, no rescue crew in sight, just me, my determination and will to take on the fight. Help me grow.Shireal Renee

Things Are Not Always What They Seem! Love Life
It is so funny when people say to me, "Wow, your a business owner?". Trust me people in the beginning it is all fluff. Sounds a lot more luxurious than it really is. I tell you, it is a struggle. Some days I just feel so lonely. I have to remind myself to be grateful for everything, to appreciate every moment and to never stop no matter what the weather is doing.
My Aunt Shirelle is a very wise woman. She has always been someone I could go to for advice. She sent me a great column that was published by Regina Brett and I want to share it with you all:
Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:"
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends andfamily will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what theirjourney is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; Godnever blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second oneis up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take nofor an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie.Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years,will this matter?".
26. Always choose life.
27. Forgive everyone everything.
28. What other people think of you is none of your business.
29. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
31. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
32. Believe in miracles.
33. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything youdid or didn't do.
34. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
35. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
36. Your children get only one childhood.
37. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
38. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
39. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,we'd grab ours back.
40. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
41. The best is yet to come.
42. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
43. Yield.
44. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
Remember that I will always share my spoon with you! Friends are the family that wechoose for ourselves
