Hey there people in the matrix! I welcome you to my new NO bullshit blog.
This is me on a date with Jose
My name is Shoshana Rose.
At the time of this writing, I am 47 years old. I live in Central Florida, about half-way between Daytona Beach and Orlando.
I am a Grand Mother. Though they say I’m too young to be a Granny. 
(Thank you very much to all my fans and friends who tell me that!)
For three and a half years–from early 2008 until April 2011 (this year!)–I struggled with alcohol addiction. And yes, I was pretty damn toasted in the photo on the left! And I’ll tell you more about that dark time in a future post but right now I want to share the good news!
I AM SOBER! I AM FREE!
It’s true, this is no bullshit. I am totally, 100% cured of my love for Jose Cuervo & Dionysus. On August 27th I celebrated 4 months of not only 100% sobriety, without even one drop of wine but more, I didn’t experience a hard time of it. Wow! “The Lord is my STRENGTH”, is my mantra and it really, truly works. Hallelujah! Saved by GRACE. God loves me!
Now don’t worry…I’m not gonna get preachy on you here. The purpose of this new blog is to INSPIRE you! To model FREEDOM & LIBERTY; show you what it means to be truly FREE, without reliance on alcohol and addictive processed foods. For when I was drinking–first tequila, then vino–I also succumbed, eventually, to indulging in junk food. UGH! It almost killed me, guys!
So welcome to the real, sober, unadulterated me: SHOSHI FREE 
The photos here below were taken the year before I began dating Jose & Dionysus on a daily basis. It was an exciting, over-whelming time in my life. I was making more money than I’d ever dreamed possible, was in the best shape I’d ever been in my life–”ballet skinny”, as I called it–had so many friends that I couldn’t keep up, and found myself a rising star in my career field as well as on youtube. Whew!
Oh, and for those of you who know me from past blogs, videos and various social networking sites around the world wide web, don’t worry!–I won’t be posting my topless or nude ART on this blog. Yes, yes, I am still very proud of my naked body but I figure it best to be more of a tease and not to give you the whole enchilada, for free!
Hike to Domelands/Windcaves
Bikini Hiker Anza Borrego Desert~April 2007
In the other photos from the Windcaves/Domelands hike for my 43rd birthday, I was naked on top of one of the domes, with a pink, silk veil blowing in the WIND! To my eye, the images show my body at it’s ballet best. Some of you who will read this post might recall those pictures and wish you could see them again. You may even email me and bug me to send you naked pictures. Well forget it! Don’t ask, okay? Someday, I may (or may not) put up a sexy website for subscribers but don’t hold your breath. It’s too much work for me to manage by my wee self while at the same time devoting most of time to my various creative pursuits. In order to launch a revenue generating website, I would need a business partner and manager!
Prancing in the Waves~La Jolla, CA
I should've gotten completely naked for this shoot but we weren't at a nude beach

Okay, one more photo for this post because I need to eat something, oivay! It’s 2:30 pm on a Wednesday and I haven’t eaten anything but a tablespoon of bee pollen and local wild honey today. I’m STARVING! LOL
Shoshana Queen of Hearts
Why do you go about sighing, dear friend
That burden you carry so plain to see
Put mind to the matter
The world can mend
We’re not numbers
Shout it out: “I AM ME”!!!
