Celebrate Loving Day with Stevenus!

12 Jun 2023 | Posted Under Success
HAPPY LOVING DAY! 

This is an image from the day we got engaged on the rocks. The image below of us is of us on the rocks in Sedona this year celebrating 23 years of a happy matrimony. Loving Day is an annual national celebration held on June 12, the anniversary of the 1967 United States Supreme Court decision Loving v. Virginia which struck down all anti-miscegenation laws remaining in sixteen U.S. states. Unfortunately, there are people fighting to make unions like ours illegal again. Yet, we know love wins. Want to view the PBS documentary about the case that allowed me others to marry whomever whatever consenting adult we choose? Click Here 

DIAMOND
By Venus Jones

You are my diamond.
I know that it's tough.
You are my diamond in the rough.

Diamonds are lumps of coal,
that stuck to the goal.

Their mission is to shine
through the darkest day.

You’ve already proven
you have the power to stay.
That’s why I fell in love this way.

You are so clear and so rare.
I’m often blinded by the glare.

Diamond, you became this girl’s best friend.
The one on which I can depend.

And now you want me to lend you my hand,
after you’ve captured my heart.

I do, because I don’t ever want to be apart.
Now before you shower me with earthly coal.

Or search the sea for a worthy enough element for me
Know that you are my diamond!

Can’t you see?
You are my diamond.

And that’s more than enough for me.
You represent forever, infinity, and a day.

The love that we share...nothing, nothing
Not even time can take this love away.

This is the year of me releasing creative projects I've been working on for too damn long. "Digital Love Letters" began in 2012 as photo fun and now it's another poetry collection that my email subscribers get to view the poems and pics first. Visit venusjones.com/digital-love-letters

Steve and I aka Stevenus will talk about why we are releasing it for National Loving Day with the support of the Institute of Contemporary Art on Sunday Live on My YouTube Chanel at 11 am PDT. There will be a short film of the same title released as well directed by Tachiya Bryant that features local interracial couples. And a special thanks also goes out to Christina Tallman for all of her hard work setting up the gallery for your viewing pleasure on the official site.


Let us know what you think. Want to hear the audio version of the featured poem "Diamond" it can be found on the Venus to Earth album and on Venus in Retrograde. One day if we don't' go off the grid completely we'll share more from the canon of photos on Instagram.
 
I'm a 49er in the Bay Area!
Can you believe it? I'm almost the big 5-0. What should I do to celebrate next year? 

On Monday, June 5th – I celebrated my birthday in Santa Cruz. But we kicked off the weekend at Mountain Winery and I saw one of my favorite soul singers Kem. Thank you for all your texts, calls, and thumbs up on social media. I received gifts from Steve, my brother Ross, my brother Jack, and my sister Eunice! WhoHoo!

But my favorite gift is Steve serenading me during the concert. LOVE CALLS is the theme this month and another song I love by Kem. 

I currently have six ride or die patrons that make me feel like it's my birthday every month. Shout out and special thanks to them and they will have first dibs on an auction happening this month of of some classic sentimental wardrobe items:

Sherinda Bryant
Khalilah Ramierz
