V is for vitality, I have an insatiable lust for living (out loud?).

E is for excellence, my passion, my drive.

R is for romp, because we’re here to have as much fun as we can!

N is for not very nice at times, something I’m working on.

E is for endurance, no matter the obstacles, I will keep moving toward my goals.

T is for thankful, blessings flow all around me, I must acknowledge them. Always.

T is for treasure, I am a child of God. I am His treasure.

E is for enrich, a quality I strive to cultivate and share because everyone who joins me on this journey, be it for 5 secs or a lifetime, should be touched by my light and my love.

VERNETTE!

My friends call me Verns, Vern…and the ever popular Vee. The one I miss the most is the version my mother used: Vernaville. Boy she loved a “sweet name” for us.

My namesake was a highschool friend of one of my aunts and my mother always liked the name. The runner-up was Tanya. I used to look at myself in the mirror growing up and wondered about being a Tanya. It rolled off the tongue quite nicely….so nicely that it was the “fake” name I gave out to guys I didn’t care to know beyond the introduction. But fake names aside, I always came back to the thought that if I had to choose any name, I would always choose Vernette.

It’s uncommon. It’s rare. It means bearer of victory. See…it’s anything but ordinary…just like me.

So…there you have it. I really enjoyed today’s writing prompt. Please click on this link to read some really cool entries.
