Qualities

The very fabric, of good and evil, has distinct qualities. The evil, is more recognized, and often times overshadows the good. The good, is abundantly, surging ahead, making the world whole and prosperous, for the grateful doers. Peace

Church Or No Church?

It is always good, to have a church home, for that backbone strength we will all need at some point and time in our lives. Acknowledging we are believers, is proof that we know there is a greater and higher power. However, when you have a family, it is no longer about you. Kids, will need an avenue toward finding peace and guidance when they are feeling troubled. As they say you raise a child in a direction that is pure and happy. “Foundation is the key”. Keep building. Always remember, adding to what you have already obtained, is a gift from GOD. Do all things with love

If There Is Anything Worth Fighting For It Is For Yourself. Being Your Own Hero Is Words To Your Own Ears. Me, Myself, And, I.

Celebrate You/ Writer Unknown

In a society that seems only to idolize what’s new and young, it can be hard to accept seeing the signs of time on our faces and bodies. Thankfully, we live in an era of being able to fix, hide or camouflage just about anything. However, one thing remains true, you can lie about your age, refuse to tell your age and even successfully mask your age but in the end, age is about far more than just the way we look. EXAMINE YOUR VIEWS ON WHAT’S OLD Remember when you were in first grade, your teacher seemed old. In our teens, 20’s were intriguing, yet light years away from anything we could fathom. Life has a way of changing and expanding what we consider old the closer we approach that age. It’s amazing how young 70 seems when you’re in your 50’s. SEPARATE HOW YOU LOOK FROM HOW YOU FEEL It’s pointless to compete with your younger self. Stop comparing how you look today with how you looked in your twenties. Over time, looks fade. That’s not always the easiest fact of life to make friends with, but one that must be respected. It’s great to celebrate youth and beauty, but be careful to understand that neither of those things define you. Maintaining a fit body by eating well and exercising can help you stay healthy, which is one key to feeling beautiful at any age. EXERCISE TO EXORCISE SELF DOUBT Keeping your body agile and in shape helps to keep you looking your best at any age. Yoga and Pilates help to keep the body stretched, toned and limber, while also relaxing the mind. When you’re taking good care of yourself, it shows. GET INVOLVED Involvement keeps us young. Volunteer. Mentor a young coworker. Sharing the beauty of who you are is a good way to stay eternally young. EMBRACE A NEW BLISS Find a new hobby, a new interest, something you’ve wanted to do before but may not have had the time for. Enjoyment and exhilaration never fade. Beware of letting your age dictate your willingness to learn new things and have new exciting experiences. ACCEPT YOURSELF, EXPRESS YOURSELF You’ve earned the right to wear your age proudly. Refuse to accept society’s definition of what’s beautiful. Don’t apologize for those smile lines or crows feet. Don’t be afraid or shy about expressing the fact that you love and totally accept yourself exactly as you are. CELEBRATE Fighting with the notion of getting older is a foolish battle. When you look around, do you find yourself surrounded by friends, a loving spouse, children and grandchildren? Do you see the fruit of things you took time to cultivate over time? Pause to value all of the gifts and blessings in your life. Feel good about feeling good. Thank the Creator for bringing you this far. Celebrate every beautiful sunrise you’ve been graced to see.

Leadership

Leadership, at it's best is the cure-all for prosperity in our society today. Combining different ideas and out looks stimulates the mind-body and soul. Let us work together and have fun with our ideas no matter how different they may be. Staying positive is the key. What's Going On

Beautiful Life

What if you discovered that you already have everything you need for a happy, fulfilling, generous life? How would you act and think differently today? Go ahead and start thinking and acting that way and see the results over time. If you don't like the results, you can go back to your old way of thinking.

Check Your Baggage

A woman may have baggage but she just needs a man to help her unpack". That sounds good and everything, but there is more power in unpacking by yourself. People can aid in healing, but you can't look for them to heal you. It is unfair to make someone else suffer from someone's else mistakes, and with some of us, it would take a man with Herculean to carry all we have. I get it, you're hurting, you're angry, you're frustrated.......If you are there......chose not to STAY there. Healing is detox for the heart, mind and spirit. Anger if not properly managed is a toxin. Cleanse yourself and FREE YOURSELF!

It Is Not All About You. It Is About All Of Us.

Saying what you mean, meaning what you say, is a metaphor, I would like to explain. My point of view around the news of the President of these United States position,embracing the marriage equality decision. Believe what you want. Say what you want. In the end, right is right for all of us. Who are we to judge? Fair treatment toward our fellow man is the key. Once we have established a comfortable agreement, it is business as usual. You go your way I go mine; if by chance we meet,it will all be copacetic. Let everyone be who he or she is,without malaise, or prejudice under the protection of the law. . This is not a position if we believe or not believe. Everyone has the right to be protected from the nut wings of this world. This is all the President is saying. Do not read into what you think he is thinking. YOU make the right choices; let everyone else do the same period. This too shall pass. Do not blow it by not voting for him in 2012. Grow up. Better yet run for President of these United States in 2016. Let us see what you can do. Put your money where your loud opinion is being expressed.

The End

Reality Verses Illusion

Don't rely on just what you see, instead rely beyond of what you see because the illusion is always outside and the reality definitely is inside. I Believe That Our Background And Circumstances May Have Influenced Who We Are, But We Are Responsible For Who We Become!!! Beware of false knowledge, it is more dangerous than ignorance. Sometimes, the distance between you and your success is your ignorance. Knowledge is learning something everyday such as your culture, your story, knowledge of self. Wisdom is letting go of something everyday the oppressor's culture, politics, customs, and etc. One of the worst battles you will have to fight is the one between what you been taught to know and what is actually real and true. Author,Henry Brown

Staying true.

True colors shine so bright you have to step out of their spotlight. Your actions speaks volume.

We can do better.

Black Women Who Want MORE.....blog Rosepetals: What Is That Smell ???? It's your attitude. Your attitude is like the aroma of your heart. If your attitude stinks infection has crept into your heart. - Martina Mitchell As the Founder of a group of women with over 1600 0ffline members, I must tell you that I am often amazed and heartbroken by our lack of love for each other as sisters. I often hear women make statements like "I cant stand being around a bunch of women" "Women cant do business together, there is always a lot of drama" "My friends are men, women cant be trusted". It drives me crazy. Why ? Because we are NURTURERS ! by Nature. We will nurture a MAN through mistreatment, abuse, bad behavior, addiction, cheating. We will forgive a man 70 times 7, but where is the love for our sisters ? Whenever I host an event I greet each woman with a Hug. Open arms, a smile. You would be SURPRISED at how many women are taken aback by a HUG from a stranger. How many women are overwhelmed by our openness and the way that we share our hearts with total strangers. Why is there such a Lack of love and trust among Black Women ?? Why do we size each other up and judge upon first sight ? "Her hair ain't real" "she is so stuck up" "she ain't all that"..? Why ? Our mind jumps to critique and compare ourselves with one another. Ladies, you CREATE the atmosphere with your attitude !! What do you bring to your encounters with other women ? Defensiveness ? Over sensitivity ? Selfishness ? Closed body language ? Distrust ? Unfriendliness ?......You CREATE the atmosphere ! We bring strangers together all of the time at our events and I tell you I need a sledge hammer to break the ICE sometimes ! Women often ask me "How do I start A Chapter in my City" ? Do you know the real reason why we don't have MORE chapters of this organization ? We cant find women to LEAD with the right SPIRIT....Women who truly have the warmth and the LOVE and the patience. Ladies it takes LOVE. Supernatural LOVE to lead and guide large groups of women. We cut each other with our brokenness. Our attitude can stink up a whole room and change the atmosphere. I have been blessed recently with some beautiful SPIRITS...who are guiding and leading 9 chapters in 8 states. Women who are positive and loving and kind...but I cant tell you how RARE that is in these times where we call each other BITCHES and curse each other out at the drop of a hat. Sisters, we NEED each other. We need to UPLIFT and ENCOURAGE ! When you get into the company of POSITIVE women who LOVE you for who you are...it changes your LIFE !! Our recent cruise was an example of Love and Respect among sisters. There was so much love, encouragement and genuine support. No complaints, no gossip, no fighting....no attitudes. The few who were negative were MISERABLE...overshadowed by the Positive ! No profanity...vulgarity or rudeness. Sisterhood at its best. Black Women Who Want MORE...it is time to create a SWEET FRAGRANCE. Time to change the atmosphere and it starts with YOU !......Take the time today to examine your heart...your spirit, and the way that you treat others. Together we can change LIVES....it begins with LOVE - Miss More Roses

Karma Knows

You know, I know some ‘older’ people who should know better, and some ‘younger’ people who teach me a thing or two. Age does not make one wise. Experience, well-learned and which increased one’s capacity for compassion and understanding, is what makes someone wise. And there is no ‘age limit’ on this. It is a real pity that so many people old enough to know better, don’t. Look for wisdom and compassion in a person, no matter who they are, how old they are, or what they look like. If you don’t let these things get in the way, then you are becoming wise and compassionate,too. Karma life knows.com
