&lt;br /&gt;
In the past few days, I have experienced the energies of the moon like never before. Tapping into my true power as a woman, creator, healer, and life giver, I have realized that my connection to the universe and God has always been there. I have denied my abilities through not knowing as oppose to not wanting to....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all want to be great. We all have a desire to excel. Where does that come from? That comes from us...the real us. The inner greatness that is waiting to be birthed into the world. What is within you is needed for the resurrection of the mentality of our people and communities. We are the keys to every locked door and the solutions to every problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have unlocked a door. I am walking into a room that is unknown to me. Furnishings that I didn&#39;t choose, but they are perfect for me. Colors that match the thinking that I attain to. I am totally uncomfortable, and I love it. I welcome my transformation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Peace &amp;amp; Love,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;I was asked a question about what I thought on holistic health. I am a book worm, so I first went to define what holistic means..in essence...it means whole. Which first leads me to think they spelled it wrong. So holistic h&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;ealth is dealing with the entire being...mind, body, soul, and spirit. I think, if done properly, it can benefit every single person on the planet if the regimes prescribed are designed for that person. We are all different being with unique energy and spiritual makeups. At our foundations, we are all man, but then it gets divided into gender. Then we get into nationalities, but more importantly, we need to take note that melanin makes a difference between people that surpasses all things. Someone asked me a wonderful question...what is the difference between us and plants?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Of course I said we are breathing organisms, but so are they. They further noted to me that our bodies are composed of the very minerals that are found in the earth, which is why we return in dirt form as we decompose after transitioning. At that point...I was stumped...turns out...there is none. We however have one element that divides us all. One thing that is there in all of our lives that effects us differently.....the sun. The very things which boosts the growth and vitality of the fruits and vegetables we eat energizes the melanin in those with it, and burns others....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;I am saying there is a difference between humanity...melanin and non melanin...like their is a difference in cows...brown ones and spotted. Think of it this way, you don&#39;t treat all of your children the same, because they are at different stages, different genders. Even identical twins have a difference between them. Holistic health is as affect as the precision of the information for the individual. Am I a&amp;nbsp;holistic&amp;nbsp;expert or practioner at this point...no, but I am a woman who desires to reach&amp;nbsp;maximum&amp;nbsp;health in order to show other women&amp;nbsp;how&amp;nbsp;to do so. This&amp;nbsp;guarantees&amp;nbsp;a better community and quality of children being born into this society. The women are not only the hand that rocks the cradle, but the hand that stirs the&amp;nbsp;ladle...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Where did you get your information from? Mother and father who are now in there 60s and&amp;nbsp;confined&amp;nbsp;to a bed...is that the end you desire? Or having family members that pop pills just to maintain? That does not have to be your sentence. You have the ability to do what is needed to be the healthiest person you can be...I will give you the tools that I am using....here&#39;s the thing though. It will require you to invest in a few books and cleaning up some habits....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I do know that I am a woman who has an understanding the need to act independently until a man comes along that understands the meaning of a unity. I would much rather not be the woman that can raise children in the assurance that I can &quot;go at it alone&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I thank God for men who have made the decision to be apart of my and my children&#39;s lives even though they are in no way obligated to them. The impact that they continuously make reaffirms my faith in the black man&#39;s ability to be the original man he is created to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not in no way angry at my children&#39;s fathers. I am not disappointed either. I am grateful for how their decisions have shown me how amazing me and my children are really are. I am not allowing myself be defined by the woman they didn&#39;t want...that was an aspect of me, but not who I am. Who I am...my real self...wouldn&#39;t have given such self destructive men anything but well wishes for them to hopefully one day see themselves right. Because I would have understood that they are broken and a broke man can&#39;t do anything for a woman trying to mend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, to my mending sistas, you have a straddling the fence energy around you. You don&#39;t want what you have been use to, and aren&#39;t quite sure you deserve what you really want. I encourage you to no longer look to that which you have been comfortable with, that man will kill your spirit and purpose. It will be unintentional, but death is the end of something no matter how it came about. You have the ability to &quot;kill&quot; yourself through your decisions. Decide to no longer straddle. Make a decisions and apply the methods needed to reinforce that decisions rather than feed the demon on complacency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The choice is up to you....Let&#39;s Move&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace &amp;amp; Love,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;o many women say that there are no good men out here. I think they can&#39;t see something they don&#39;t believe they are themselves...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;How is it possible to &quot;love you&quot; and &quot;keep it real&quot; when you have become the mask you wear so well. You actually have fooled yourself into thinking that you are not responsible and influential to your current state of affairs. You are where you are because whether you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; display: inline; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;know it or not, you have chosen to be there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are single, with multiple children, multiple fathers, on assistance, no job, OK job, excellent job, happily married, great husband, horrible husband...you have made decisions that had gotten to you to where you are right now. For some, that is an empowering thought to know the success that you have right now has been through decisions that you made. For others, I see you sulking and grabbing your Bibles planing a rebuttal....don&#39;t do it...my understanding isn&#39;t confined to a book that has multiple translations and left out scriptures that can now be found in a hip-hop version....God is bigger than you limited literature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the funny thing, that book, the BIBLE....has gotten you only so far. The Bible says that in all your getting, get an understanding. And as sacred as many hold it&#39;s words...it is limited in it&#39;s knowledge of diet, exercise, relationships, current events, and family. There are great suggestions, but not enough applications and instructions to cover everything in our lives. Would books be in such as vast array if the Bible was truly complete. Why would all these Biblical scholars put our reading material if the Bible is all that is needed.....so if it is safe to assume even God knew the Bible had limits....could it be that others readings are needed because you are limitless. Because you have been given the power to choose your mate, profession, hair color, eye color, body size, etc.....that in the end...it is really up to you......&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

What do you define as a good man? What examples have you seen as a good man? What have you read to know what a good man is?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

We are the contributors to where we are right now, but have taken refugee in blaming the devil or say God &quot;allowed&quot; it to happen. The Bible says every good and perfect thing comes from Him...so you being beat up in a relationship was never part of the divine plan. You having that abortion that one time that has kept you having children wasn&#39;t on the radar. You choosing a mate that you were warned about is not their fault....it&#39;s yours.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Some of us are in different stages, but there are some expectations that are no longer being required. Women will bed a man with no job, no prospects of income, and live at his mama house. Men will bed women who have no goals or dreams except Child support and food stamp days.....WHY...because they think they can change them, make them better....You can change the way they dress and the way their hair looks, but you can&#39;t touch their thought patterns if they don&#39;t let you.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not saying don&#39;t help people, but don&#39;t do it to the point where it compromises you. I am in my process of organizing my life. I have deleted people on Facebook, Twitter, and in real life. I am not giving a gateway for anyway to send negative energy my way nor am I leaving doors open to people who I know I will let take me through because they know I love them. I am reconnecting with my true self...the God in me and setting the bar higher than ever before. I am saving my self. Reprogramming my thinking and being. I have stopped so many things in a few days....I feel the breaking in my own soul....the day has come for me to free myself from my own personal chains....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Be free my friends.....great morning...:-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace &amp;amp; Love,&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;I have a dream that all the dreams I have set before me I can resurrect and one day make a reality........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;How many dreams and goals have you had that you put away? How many ideas and thoughts did you decided to give up on because someone convinced you that you weren&#39;t qualified to have them? How many times have you peek in that closet and thought...what if?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;What if I hadn&#39;t given up on my dream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; display: inline; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;s? What would my life be like? What if I took up the profession I wanted instead of the one forced on me by my parents? What if I married the one I fell in love with instead of the more suitable choice????? WHAT IF??????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if, today, you went inside your closet and started to go through those lost dreams and goals. You will find that they are still there, and some have even matured without you realizing it. Everything that you are designed to do, be, and have is at your discretion. You have to have the courage and gusto to go for it. Whether it is a degree, career change, business opportunity, relationship opportunity, or even hair color change (smile), you decide on what you want to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know it can be scary. I mean, let&#39;s admit it, fear can cripple our dreams. Often times, our fears aren&#39;t failing at what we want to do, but other extremes that we create in our minds. Fears like being hurt physically, losing a family member, or just the most extreme things that could go wrong. This is because we have never been taught in our educational experiences, that we are designed to be successful. That we are designed to prosper. That being black isn&#39;t an inferior position unless we believe it to be so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to encourage you this morning and tell you that your dreams are not lost. Hope hasn&#39;t left you, and Faith is waiting on you to believe to make your dreams and goals come true....will you believe today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace &amp;amp; Love,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

I am thankful for the growing pains of life because with each scar, I see Allah&#39;s healing power.

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;I know so many multiple fatherless homes....meaning mom has children with different fathers. Each father coming with it&#39;s own experience and own pain. Mom is doing her best to make things workout and there is struggle...especially when one man won&#39;t help with his, but the oth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;text_exposed_show&quot; style=&quot;background-color: white; display: inline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;er does...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;I will say if you are a mother and treating your children differently based on the men you chose to lay with, you are dead wrong and are undeserving of those blessings in your life. Truthfully, mothers do this even if things are good and the children have one father....let one child look like him more than the others or be the only man child....it&#39;s like the hatred from the failure of the relationship has no end...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;Then you wonder why you have no peace, you wonder why your children have turned on you, you wonder why your home is in disarray....you are the one that controls that energy in your house. If you create such an atmosphere, expect the reward for your actions....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;We all have issues, problems, and things we must work through, but you have to make a daily decision to be better and work towards it when you are responsble for another soul. I believe there are some people who should not have children. I believe some women would destroy the child&#39;s spiritual nature...then you have some that mother a neighborhood and the block thanks her.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;If you have been that mom that has played favorites, you should be ashamed. If you hate you son because he is the only boy and reminds you of your ex...you choose his father. If one father pays his support and the other doesn&#39;t...that isn&#39;t the child fault...stop saying that they are like their sorry daddy...how are you so comfortable speaking against their creator....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 18px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white; font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;&quot;&gt;Peace &amp;amp; &amp;nbsp;Love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Those who us spiritual enlightenment and solitude as a cover for their own lack of understanding as to why they attract who they do.

Hollowed spirit/&lt;br /&gt;
empty being/&lt;br /&gt;
there is no life I am seeking/&lt;br /&gt;
I find comfort in the darkness/&lt;br /&gt;
fear this is what they have taught us/&lt;br /&gt;
but I sense a bliss/&lt;br /&gt;
no pain or hurt/&lt;br /&gt;
just empty spirit/&lt;br /&gt;
blades start to look like welcome mats/&lt;br /&gt;
38 looks like a good number/&lt;br /&gt;
and high rises look like an opportunity to fly for 3 seconds before my demise/&lt;br /&gt;
and I love to hear people say you have so much to live for/&lt;br /&gt;
all lies/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here where love is wrong and no one is trying to be right/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here where the strong perish and the weak prevail/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here where being black means living in a place that is the neighbor of hell/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here/&lt;br /&gt;
where being a thug has more prestige than being a father with a degree/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here where children are killed by the same women that birthed them/&lt;br /&gt;
women who are loved by the same men that hurt them/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here where the my blood from previous times cries out to me for justice and I have none to bring/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here/where every tear that I shed goes unnoticed/&lt;br /&gt;
where this pain is so deep I can&#39;t focus/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here/where I look at my children&#39;s face and can no longer give them the promise of a better day/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here/&lt;br /&gt;
because every morning you give me a sunrise freely/&lt;br /&gt;
and you have answered me every time I have fallen on my knees/&lt;br /&gt;
you want me to stay here cause you have work for me to do/&lt;br /&gt;
and this pain you expect me to work through/&lt;br /&gt;
I am so tired of crying/&lt;br /&gt;
so tired of this feeling of desiring dying/&lt;br /&gt;
so I tell you what/&lt;br /&gt;
if tomorrow I wake up and see a sunrise/&lt;br /&gt;
I promise to try/&lt;br /&gt;
cause right now/&lt;br /&gt;
you are the only person that has yet to lie/&lt;br /&gt;
and I have no idea why you love me so much/&lt;br /&gt;
and all I have been seeking is an honest touch/&lt;br /&gt;
so if I awake in this place that has brought me pain/&lt;br /&gt;
and see the faces of those who have hurt me throughout this day/&lt;br /&gt;
hold me close in my spirit/&lt;br /&gt;
it&#39;s only because of you God that I am here today...&lt;br /&gt;

How about just telling him how you feel and ask what&#39;s up? We can&#39;t though can we ladies...why...because his boys and the options he keeps around. The minute you act a certain way...they are on the prowl...hating and speaking against you and he is listening. Being in any kind of emotional state is wrong, having feeling is wrong, hell it&#39;s almost like saying that being a woman is wrong......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wrong...being a woman is amazing. Being able to connect with God on a level envied by male leaders from the Bible too modern day....women are the natural nutures. You do have tanint specimens who time and their own actions have left them in a state of depseration and destruction. I am speaking to the sister in the sisterhood of love and peace. Who see what ails the world and want to heal it. Who sees what ails the man she loves and wants to heal him. Stay in the beauty of the purity of your womanhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you may find that the man in your life is tripping hard. Thoughtless deeds, insensitive actions, and just plan out making the worst decisions knowing they will hurt you. Normally you can try to talk it through, but he is being helped...trust when I say that a female somewhere is invlved...if this is out of charater. Don&#39;t play games...if he falls for the okie doke...maybe you need to step away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are going into an undefined year. Even the Mayans left it open for us to decide on how we want things to go. It&#39;s is an ending of allowing things to distract us. It is an ending of the thinking of society of inferirioty of blacks and women. It is an ending of the booty hoe type thinking that continues to fuel the daughters of Eve....It is the time for the rise of the universal energy of the universal woman....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rise my sisters...rise.....so that the beauty of the men can rise with you. Don&#39;t worry about the actions of others...be accountable for you....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace &amp;amp; Love&lt;br /&gt;~&lt;a data-hovercard=&quot;/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=552165569&quot; href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/iamblurayne&quot; style=&quot;color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Cynthia Jowers&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;aka&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-hovercard=&quot;/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=338410479854&quot; href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/xblurayne&quot; style=&quot;color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;X Blu Rayne...Mz.

&lt;br /&gt;
My ink is stopped for the night&lt;br /&gt;
My heart hurts right now&lt;br /&gt;
I can&#39;t write...&lt;br /&gt;
Stupid girl...don&#39;t cry&lt;br /&gt;
Never let tears of pain be the reason why&lt;br /&gt;
Never let him see you cry&lt;br /&gt;
Be strong is what we tell ourselves&lt;br /&gt;
Dayum all memories to hell&lt;br /&gt;
I will not fuss or yell&lt;br /&gt;
I will no curse or tell&lt;br /&gt;
Of this pain that is sitting in my chest&lt;br /&gt;
My own fault I must confess&lt;br /&gt;
Loving someone who sees you as loveless&lt;br /&gt;
But will drop your pants or lift your dress&lt;br /&gt;
Why do we get mad and upset&lt;br /&gt;
When we sign on the dotted line of this contract&lt;br /&gt;
This unspoken agreement of nothing needed&lt;br /&gt;
Except late night calls and occasional flings&lt;br /&gt;
My ink&lt;br /&gt;
Has stopped flowing&lt;br /&gt;
This poem is cracked and tears I am sowing&lt;br /&gt;
Stupid little girl stop acting like you didn&#39;t know&lt;br /&gt;
You the one that became a voluntary hoe&lt;br /&gt;
So in tears you now sow&lt;br /&gt;
From accepting such a low blow to your ego&lt;br /&gt;
Anger words flow&lt;br /&gt;
Because love has left the building&lt;br /&gt;
Embarrassed s it&#39;s replacement&lt;br /&gt;
Your smile will now be a facelift&lt;br /&gt;
To mask the hurt you are feeling&lt;br /&gt;
Stupid girl...stop feeling&lt;br /&gt;

You, as the woman he loves, has the unique ability to determine his days and nights, his belief in himself, and he validity as a man......don&#39;t do him wrong...or he will find one that does him right....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace &amp;amp; Love&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #222222;&quot;&gt;~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-hovercard=&quot;/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=552165569&quot; href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/iamblurayne&quot; style=&quot;color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;Cynthia Jowers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #222222;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;aka&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a data-hovercard=&quot;/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=338410479854&quot; href=&quot;https://www.facebook.com/xblurayne&quot; style=&quot;color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;&quot;&gt;X Blu Rayne...Mz.
