My plan was to put up a post with my birthday wish list, but the things that I want most – \u00a0which are mostly unknown by people – only God can provide them for me. So because of that, I’ve decided to write a letter to God which I will seal in an envelop and read some years months later, just to make sure that He has actually kept His word. For those that are not aware, my birthday is coming up on Friday, January 14th 2011, and as I type this right now, I have no idea what I would on do that day. I really, really, really, really<\/em> want to have a party, but I guess I can save the money and take myself shopping instead.<\/p>\n\n

What I do want to talk about, however, is my talk show – Verastically Speakin’<\/a><\/strong>. It’s been off the air since October 2010 because yours truly got burnt out. That’s the simple truth. I thought I could handle it alone. I will not bother listing all the things that I had to do (and still have to do) to get the show on the air. Now, in order not to get burnt out like I did some months ago, I am finally taking the advice of my aunt (and many other people) and seeking some help.<\/p>\n\n

This is a little difficult to ask because this is not a paying job – at least not yet. If you agree to do this, it will be a labor of love. I don’t need you to host the actual show, but I will need you to help me prepare for the show. Right now, all I need is your passion, your time, your\u00a0commitment, and your boundless creativity\u00a0– in no particular order as they’re all equally important.<\/p>\n\n

It doesn’t quite matter where you’re located — as long as I can communicate with you. With all the technology there is today, we can communicate in so many ways. I would appreciate any kind of efficient help I can get. One person at least, two people at most. If you’re interested, e-mail me vera [at] verastic dot com or just contact me here<\/a>. <\/strong>Like I said, this is serious<\/em>. This is very serious to me. So contact me, if you’re serious.<\/p>\n\n

P.S. Of course, you’re still very welcome – in fact, enthusiastically encouraged – to send me Macy’s gift cards of any amount for my birthday. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
