Women as a culture and a race always see the negativity that are within each other. Never banning together or sticking up for each other. Superficial, hostile, insecure individuals yet nurturing and loving to everyone but each other. Why do women treat each other so poorly. We are incredible humans, impeccable creatures created to love without judgment. Yet we look at each other with the utmost disgust; judging everything from toe nails to nose shape. We must learn to love each other the way we want men to love us. We must respect each other if we want to go anywhere. Disrespecting and oppressing each other only opens the door for men to do the same. Words inflict the deepest amount of pain because the wound they inflict can never be healed or bandaged. Low self-esteem is created from exterior thought its only imposed and enforced. When we learn to love each others’ flaws and respect each others’ thought we as a race will become unstoppable. As an individual you accomplish nothing by making someone feel inferior. Remember that love is a higher power working though our hearts, and when we love one another we are healing ourselves and others simultaneously.

I’ve been trying to capture my natural curl look for about a year now, but in the humidity it always seems to frizz up. Well, not any more I have discovered the best natural curl product. Deva Curl products are healthy and amazing for any type of hair. Their shampoo is non lathering so it doesn’t dry your hair curls last and don’t frizz. I love it.
The words spoken so eloquently travel from the lips of a true soul to the vulnerable ears of an emotional goddess twisting down the invisible cord that latches to the already weakened heart. Every sound and noise mimics that of a beautiful and powerful force that triggers endorphins and contradicts sorrow. These words are like soothing food for the malnourished and battered soul. Your mind tells you if you eat them up and swallow them you may become whole again. Unsure if they are poison you eat, and eat until you are full. These lavish words are similar to that of bitter and deceiving lies; lies we lean so heavily on twisting them into our own truths, making them our own realities. Living in truth is a complicated and incredibly difficult task. As humans we are surrounded with lies and find it hard to decipher the truth but the truth can be discovered. Entangled in all the lies is a very solid truth. The truth about emotions, life, and practice. If investigated closely we can even find the reason why we tell these lies. Listen closely because not all lies come from others some come from ourselves. Stop trying to cheat yourself; live to your full potential, raise your own bar, and find your own truth.

Yesterday, June 6, 2010, Marianne Williamson spoke in Detroit. I haven’t had the privilege of hearing her since she left my church years ago. Thus, I have not felt this enlightened in a long time. I’ve realized that sometimes we turn our back on the one that loves us the most, but it’s okay as long as we find our way back to his love. After service and a private meeting with Marianne I found myself falling into a deep meditation, but the powerful thing happened when I awoke from it. I discovered a lot during this meditation but what amazed me was how my pen would not leave my pad afterwards:
God did not place us here to be in pain, he did not intend on us to suffer or struggle. God put us here to experience our own free will. To grow and create in our own way. As an infectious population we have created our own suffrage, we have inflicted our own pain, and motivated our own struggle. We have chosen to live in fear, depriving our thriving souls from eternal love. We have doused our hearts in sorrow and submerged them in angry flames. Essentially, we have become our own worst enemy.
Free will is the ability to choose one’s own life course: so why do we choose the hardest path each trial and continue to travel that straight path as if turning around is impossible? Why choose hatred when love is an option? Why choose to walk alone when God never intended to let go of our hand? Why walk through darkness when God provided each of us with an internal imperishable light?
We came into this world as free souls. Only knowing God and his incredible love in the womb, for he was the only one with us.
Many believe that peace in this chaotic world is unfathomable, but we forget that everything that is attainable within one’s self is equally attainable in the world. Recognize that self peace is undoubtably possib
le thus world peace is not only an amazing dream, but a possible and future reality. God gave us all the ability to believe and think consciously about every decision and that I why change is continuous.
We mustn’t push away the unfamiliar, but welcome it because, maybe foreign thought to you is not necessarily wrong, yet simply different. The brain and heart may control the body, but the soul is the fuel and the spirit is its guide. We may not see them on an x-ray, but know that they do exist. As the organs die physically the soul and spirit merely shed their physical structure and continue to grow because they were never confined to those perishable models we call the self. As a people we must realize the self is greater than the body, in fact the tangible body is not the self at all. Rather, it is a temporary image it takes on to fit and conform to the likes of others.

Corinne Bailey Rae is one of the best artists out. She flies below the radar but trust me she will hit the charts soon. Her vocal range and diction in each song mirrors perfection. Let her voice flood your ears and relax your mind.
