Stop Viewing GOD as an ATM!

2012-01-13T11:53:00.000-06:00

I have heard so many testimonies about stuff, literal stuff. Folks are joyous and truly testifying. Why do so many of us choose to pray for so many THINGS? What would the world be like if we stop viewing GOD as an ATM, a new car dealership, a furniture store, and a Saks Fifth Avenue? How much richer would we be if we repeatedly asked GOD to expand our minds, our perceptions, our heart, our compassion, passion for nature and the earth, creativity, etc? ~Crystal Johnson Full Conversation Click Here

Crystal I totally agree ... If we would only expand the reaches of our mind, beyond material things. There is an allegorical tale in the bible which covers this very thing. G-d by way of a dream, asked Solomon, "What shall I give U?”... Solomon, succeeding his father in death, and becoming King requested, "G-d give unto me an understanding mind, a hearing heart, and wisdom, that I may discern bad from good". G-d, hearing his heart granted Solomon all he asked; and because he did not ask for material gain or the head of his enemy, G-d granted him riches and honor.

The moral of this story is… As we seek to be spiritually re-membered to divine source (G-d) by virtue of our request for wisdom, knowledge, and understand, all other needs will be met and/or offered/presented.
Let’s expand our consciousness.Sista

THE BIBLE reads, “No Good Thing Dwells in the Flesh” (Romans 7:18-20) I Beg to Differ.

2012-01-02T21:18:00.000-06:00

There was a time in my life I based my faith solely on the book we call THE BIBLE, and in the ministers whom preached it. My self-esteem was feeble, my behavior passive, and the more I studied this book we call THE BIBLE, the more I became confused. This book, THE BIBLE and it’s interpretations in the mouth of ministers, clashed with my logical reasoning, and understanding of my creator. In many cases biblical teachings were in total opposition to that which I knew to be GOD, spirit, life, and truth. By age twenty-eight, religion had became such a burden, I thought I was having a nervous breakdown. I laid aside the book, THE BIBLE, which I had studied diligently since the age of 9, reading twelve times through between ages 12 and 24. After an intellectual meltdown of biblical proportion; at age 29 I began to commune with nature. In nature, I better understood creation and the essence of the creator. By thirty I completely dropped the practice of religion altogether, but not the study of THE BIBLE nor other religious and spiritual text. My slogan became, “There are many truths in the bible, but not all the bible is true”. I later revised it too, “There are many algorithmic allegories of truth in THE BIBLE, once we get beyond the division of religion”. My history; I was raised in church, and in a family of Preachers, Religious Teachers, Ministers, and Evangelist. My earliest memories of church were intricately woven with fear and bewilderment. I questioned constantly, but was told, “We do not question GOD and we do not lean on our own understanding.” Thus, I read THE BIBLE with an insatiable desire to know GOD for myself. I listen intently to stories in Sunday school, and in bible classes. I had many favorite tales such as Namaan and Gehazi (2Kings 5) or Joshua and the people of Gibeon (Joshua 9) and many favorite characters such as Enoch, Elijah, Elisha and Peter. I wanted to walk as Enoch walked with GOD and was no more for GOD took him. I wanted miraculous manifestations to follow me as they did Elijah and Elisha and Peter. I desired to be so scripturally sound that folks would be healed as a result of my words or deeds. Like Peter, I wanted folks to walk into my shadow and be healed.From age nine to twelve, I attended Christian school; my day began and ended with biblical studies. We had weekly assemblies steeped in biblical lore and metaphor. I passed religious studies with constant ‘A’s… but basic reading, spelling, and arithmetic, I was failing miserably, and somehow, despite my grades in basic education, I became a word smith. I learned words have power, and with my trusty dictionary, I used my words well; so well, I could agree without actually agreeing. I could say a thing without saying a thing. With my words I could dodge the bullets, of direct questions pertaining to my faith; thus giving the appearance of conformity, without conforming. I learned the ways of Christianity well; knowing all the adequate quotes, and delivering all the adequate responses. Don’t get me wrong, I was in it to win it, because we all know ninety-nine and a half won’t do. But as time passed and my studies continued I realized what I sought was not in church, religion, or Christianity. What I sought was and had always been inside of me; yet I continued to wear the continence of Christianity until I had the strength to stand in my truth. Today I boldly proclaim, I am not a Christian, I follow no religious affiliation. I simply seek and follow truth wherever it is found. Today, I am a freer being living in knowledge with understanding. Religion says, there is no good thing in the flesh, but I beg to differ; for within me, within this flesh called Sista/Kim, dwells the essence of my creator and all the possibilities the creator has bestowed in me and to me, this is a good thing.

All the flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today. - Indian Proverb

I Am Rethinking Possible...

2011-09-03T14:56:00.002-05:00

We are constantly shown our limitations are self imposed. For where there is a will, there is a way, or as the at&t commercial says it, "Take the limits off possibility, and rethink possible".
Family I am at it again.

My last few days have been phenomenal. August 31, 2011; I meet a boy wearing no shoes, confused as to which foot they belonged. He carried his shoes in his hands and asked which foot they should go on. Switch them around I said. He sat on the ground, and fastens his Velcro straps. A conversation ensued He was six years old in first grand and did not know how to tie his shoes.

Being the teacher I am (no degree, just born to be) I asked, “Did you go to school today?” “Yep” was his reply… I asked about his homework and first he said he had none, but with a little cajoling he changed his mind and said he had two sentences to write.

This story is long and so I will not prolong your time. I will simply say that young child reignited a fire in me, and I began to rethink possible. Thus I called a friend and shared my vision; and she created a flyer for me and I made 100 copies. The very next day I passed them out throughout the community. September 1, that very same day, I received a call, inquiring about the flyer…

Well y’all Monday September 12th, I will begin my new tutoring services, from which I plan to create a business. Just yesterday I was donated notebooks and binders, and a friend called offering free desk, the old fashion kind. I have created my own business cards and printed up 100.

Family it is true, "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls." — Joseph Campbell

Or as the king james version reads: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

I spoke with a friend today she has offered to purchase school supplies and learning materials… Ya’ll I am rethinking possible…

Mother Earth

2011-07-11T21:54:00.002-05:00

Will U hear Mother Earths cry?
She is mourning her children's deaths,
From microscopic organisms to human flesh,
She's being poisoned and polluted,
Almost to the point of not being able to help her-self,
Her skies are crying acid rain,
Her oceans and seas are oiled stained,
Her fields are planted with genetically modified grains,
Will U not hear her cry?
Help Mother Earth to fight back, buy and plant organic.

Water

2011-07-11T16:51:00.002-05:00

Without U I am a wilderness barren as sand,

As a result I desire U,

Willing to pay the price for U,

That U may caress my flesh,

And quench my inner man,

Life without U cannot be sustained,

I’d go mad, feeble, and perhaps even lame,

I can take U cold or hot,

Either way U touch the spot,

I’ve got WATER on the brain… ©Kim Daniel 2011

Respecting and honoring those called Slaves

2011-07-11T16:04:00.003-05:00

Sitting in the shadows of this humid heat,

Reflecting on the ancestors who came before me,

Who toiled and labored in this oppressive heat,

In conditions not fit for man or beast,

I lift my arms and give thanks and praise,

Respecting and honoring those called Slaves,

In memory of them I will not complain,

Nonetheless it’s hot just the same. ©KimDaniel 2011

Even Pinocchio thought himself a real boy. In a world of marionettes and man-nipulators are you the puppet or the puppeteer? Are the words which flow from your lips, the contemplation of your own pure thought or the ventriloquism of ages?

Sista Ponderings (Truth & Knowledge)

2011-05-04T14:03:00.000-05:00

The ultimate thing to withhold from a people is not, goods or property; no the ultimate thing to withhold is truth and accurate knowledge. We all inhale information, transforming it into knowledge, however inaccurate information leads to inaccurate knowledge, and thus the ultimate deception. Study, show thyself approved, a workman, comprehensibly able to discern words of truth.

How do a Strange people

Travel to a Strange land

Speaking a Strange language which the indigenous people do not understand?

While in this Strange land

These Strange people change century’s old traditions

Enforcing a Strange religion that isn’t indigenous to the land

How do a Strange people

Travel to a Strange land

Speaking a Strange language which the indigenous people do not understand?

And Change century’s old traditions

Enforcing a Strange religion that isn’t indigenous to the land?

I’ll tell you how

They plant Strange seeds growing weeds

That chokes the indigenous MAN

With doubt, deception, and division

And feed him fear and inferiority

That’s how Strange people

Travel to Strange lands

Speaking Strange languages

Which indigenous people do not understand?

Then Change century’s old traditions

While enforcing Strange religions that aren’t indigenous to the land

Strange isn’t it or is it?

Reparations

2011-04-16T11:54:00.004-05:00

In religion we are made to believe we are responsible for the sins of Adam,
thus we are born in sin and shaped in iniquity. On the other hand, when asking for reparations of Black/Native Americans,(equal opportunities under the law, free legitimate education, free legitimate health care, non-predatory affordable housing and land…) mankind is suddenly no longer responsible for the sins of the father, and economic freedom has yet to ring, for generations of generations of Black/Native American People.

Sista Affirmation (Conqueror)

2011-03-24T11:43:00.002-05:00

Conqueror… Yes, I am truly a conqueror…

As I reminisce, through the corridors of my life,

I realize I have always been the conqueror, conquering even when I felt the victim.

I am the victor, never surrendering to being a victim of circumstance, ignorance or trite behavior.

I have come to realize, I am the heroine in my story and the heroine cannot be destroyed.

She/I may be injured, weaken, slowed, but never distorted, for I am the conqueror, my creator made it so…

Don't mark them with an F...

2011-03-21T11:26:00.001-05:00

Every felon should not be penalized, ostracized and marked with and F...
Many of our men are charged with Felonies due to child support issues, not because they are no good fathers and dead beat dads, but simply because life happens...
Take for instance a Brother who is the sole support of his family... his mother dies; his father suffers a stroke, and his company down sizes offering only part-time work... These events occur within a ten day window of time... In the quake of these traumas this Brother puts off child-support to bury his mother, afford medication for his father, down sizes his livelihood to fit the circumstances of his employment... he never once cease to care for his child, although he does not pay the money to the courts for child support. Four months pass, he's attempting to catch up just as he's being picked up and charged... with a Felon. He was behind.... Four-hundred ($400.00) dollars behind, and he is thrown in jail, charged with a Felony, held for 90 days, losses his job, can't be hired by many companies due to his felony status. Don't mark them with failure with felonious felonies you are playing with the future of their offspring...

No not every Felon should be penalized, ostracized and marked with an F.

ALL Joy

Be it folly or fortune

Whether victim or victor

Tagged in a note began to read, phone rang, conversation deep, an IM, a post, a inbox note... now two hours have passed and what I started at first I'm doing last, but again the phone rings, the door bell chimes, sit down, talk, forgot the person on the line. House is clear again but now I forgot where I began.

Sista Thought... Knowing & Belief

2011-02-08T21:34:00.000-06:00

Belief must eventually graduate to knowing, and knowing only comes by experience. To be taught a thing and never experience it, only allows for belief. Truth is not formed in belief, it's formed in knowing. To believe without prof is believing someone else's truth.

Can we LOVE to hard?

2011-02-07T20:10:00.000-06:00

No, we cannot love to hard, if love is unconditional...
Only when we love with conditions do we have the perception of loving to hard.

2011-02-02T16:41:00.000-06:00

Yes, we really do need a different approach... our children are failing and dropping out... at an astronomical rate. Our cookie cutter, one size fits all education is not working. We need to revamp the educational system... test our children for their proficiency, and educate accordingly… more apprenticeships, and trade-school programs… bring back junior achievement for financial learning… teach financing and budgeting along with our abc’s and 123’s… in my opinion year round school also teaches disciple and dedication… other than accounting, and education, what job gives you three months off, and expects you to work at your fullest potential, without losing a step?

Sista Thought... Life Lessonss

2011-02-02T11:48:00.002-06:00

The person who treats you unkind, ruthless, and disrespectful, is just as much a part of your evolution of growth and development, as those whom treat you with loving kindness, tender mercies, and compassion. We draw to us what we need in order to grow… What lessons do you need to learn? Look around and examine the folks you have drawn, good, bad, happy, sad, or indifferent... These people are your life lessons and you are theirs.

Obedience is better than Sacrifice...

2011-01-24T11:17:00.003-06:00

Sacrifice done in obedience, is not painful, if pain is involved, it is due to our own fear and unwillingness to let go... Sacrifice done in obedience, has its own reward... and because we know there is a reward, we give cheerfully, for we know, nothing is lost. Be a cheerful giver, with understanding and knowing you will be rewarded with greater good. Sacrifice without obedience, is like fasting, it is uncomfortable to those whose minds stay solely on their lack or loss. Remember, obedience is better than sacrifice, for in obedience there is a reward... and in sacrifice there is but fear and pain.

Betrayal...

2011-01-12T16:04:00.003-06:00

The greatest betrayal is not the betrayal of others.
The greatest betrayal is the betrayal of self, for when we betray ourselves; we leave an opening for others to betray us.

I was asked to Explain

Betrayal is overriding the voice within, the voice that says, don’t turn right, turn left, don’t sit down, run. When we are given heartfelt commands, urgings from the soul, and then refuse to walk there in, we betray ourselves, and therefore allow others to betray us… There is an example given in the bible, of a young prophet, betrayed by an older prophet… The younger prophet was told by GOD, to neither eat or drink, nor return the way he came. Yet, by the lies of an older prophet he was swayed, betrayed.

It is the weaknesses of our own flesh, which betrays us first, leaving the door open for others to betray us. It is the need to trust others before we trust ourselves (thus the voice of our soul) which leads us on the road to death.

Seed of the Creator

2011-01-05T14:33:00.002-06:00

Full grown mustard tree, grown from a tiny mustard seed.

The seed is ...
What the seed was planted to be ... but for now all we see is the seed...
As the seasons come and go (life lessons & experiences)...
As the soil nourishes its growth (knowledge & understanding)...
As the sun yields its aid (wisdom & love)...
The seed becomes the very thing it was planted to be, a Tree...
Great is the seed of the Creator in YOU...

Thousands Dead...

2011-01-04T02:25:00.006-06:00

Why did more than 3,000 red-winged blackbirds tumble from the Arkansas sky shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve? (click here)

myths turned to truth in his-story books...

while fowl fall dead as signs are mistook...

government stays silent placing science on the hook...

tell them a lie even the elite will possibly overlook...

judgement pasted down and we all partook...

Take heed to the food U eat, The water U drink, and the air U breathe

This is not the first time this has happen... I lived in Arkansas 9.5 years...

In 1998 something similar happen, but it didn't get national attention, actually it barely received local attention...
That year, I had a regular workout routine, riding my bike fourteen miles a day... on the back roads of rural Arkansas... Seven miles to the next town and back... This road was limited to Combines, Tractors and other farm equipment, so not to impede the flow of the main highway... Although the main hwy shortened the distance between towns by 3.5 miles, it was not safe for bicyclers, skaters, and farm equipment, due to 18-wheelers and double wide carriers...
Anywhoooo... As I was saying this same occurrence took place in 1998...
I was riding my bike one morning, my usual Monday, Wednesday and Friday routine. As I approached the bridge, leading to the next town, I could smell a really foul odor... My first thought was a dead dog... The county was good at not picking up dead animals in a timely manner...
The closer I drew to the bridge the odor grew more pungent and I realized it could not be a dog. Fear struck me, what if it’s a person?… Now on the bridge, I climbed off my bike to peer over the edge… and what I saw shocked me… from one side of the bridge to the other, laid there in the creek, were hundreds of hundreds of dead fish as far as the eye could see, and all along the banks were dead birds…
I should have realized it was particularly quiet on my ride that morning, no birds chirping, merely still silence, with exception for the main hwy traffic in the distance… Frighten to go further… I turned around and returned home…
Before that day, I fished in that creek regularly; afterwards, I never did again…
I ask the biology teacher at the local college I was attending at the time, what would cause such a thing… His response was, “Perhaps, the local fishermen shocked the water, to bring the catfish to the top” (which is illegal).
Long Story short, I never learned the truth… but this incident in BEBEE, ARKANSAS seems very similar, and someone truly needs to get to the bottom of this… because those folks live and die eating that fish, drink that water, and breathing that air.

Is it feasible to say the most successful of people… experience momentary days of weakness?
Is it ok… to just say … I’m having a bad day… and yes…
I know… tomorrow… will be… ok… and if not tomorrow… then surely… the next day… Is it ok?

Homelessness is a mockery on human compassion.

2010-12-22T19:21:00.006-06:00

As I sit in the comfort of my apartment, with my central heat turned to 65, and my nostrils inhaling the scent of sweet potatoes… I am reminded many of my sisters & brothers are but a stones’ throw from homeless...
After reading an article in the Huffington Post my mind raced to the many homeless here in St. Louis... and the trials they endure season after season... I recall one year, after helping set up the city-rec, for the over flow of homeless men and women that would bed there for the night. I heading home already dismayed about the folks that had to be turned away, due to capacity.
On my way home I spotted a small woman layered in coats… She was covering the top of a sliding board with plastic… that same plastic we use to cover windows in the winter… She was covering a small encasement over the sliding-board… that place where children usually sit and slide.
This woman carefully unfolded the clear plastic… then snapped it like a sheet as she draped it over the little hard plastic dome and all four of its exposed openings… After covering the hard red, blue and yellow plastic dome the woman balled into a knot and laid inside… this was her shelter for the night.
I don’t know what happen to that woman… but for these five years… each winter that comes… I am reminded of her as I pass that park… The woman was but 300 feet from the shelter but she lay in the cold winter’s night atop a slide protected only by the coats on her back and a thin layer of insulating plastic… I can’t help but wonder what I could have done differently…
I say all this to say... we need solutions… for this issue of homelessness is a mockery on human compassion.

We will see the other’s light
And just before it’s time to wake
I will whisper thank u for this dreamy date…
Sleep well… Mister-Mister :>)

Goodnight… Mister-Mister :>)

The BOOK reads: "Beloved, I wish above all… you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers." As we grow emotionally/spiritually in confidence, then those things which compose our life grow as well, business, finances, and relationships. However, if we are emotionally/spiritually apprehensive and self-doubting, we will not grow, for we cannot grow beyond our ability to believe in ourselves…

Mercy On The Man...

2010-12-10T20:44:00.002-06:00

Famished joy in unprofitable pain… Give thy money… Thy hope does save…
Pondered weak and naive… trapped doors swing open on Sabbath days...
Full the state of pondered woes… Separating the sheep from the goats…
Tongues spoken long ago… muttered gently whispered prayers…
Saved for ravenous wolves who do dare… feast in valleys of dry bones…
And sorrowed be too the soul which seeks… The book of life…
For never a name be read in pain… Than the man who was not found …
While the choir does sing… while the congregation does bleed...
And the sheep he did not feed… Mercy on the man…

If you learned your words (typed, spoken or written) would not return to you void (unfulfilled), would you change the words you use, or the way you speak…? How many of us are now chasing down our negative words with positive affirmations… We must become impeccable with our speech, mindful of the words we use in reference to ourselves and others… Words are powerful… ask a child… are remember the child you once were.

Sista Poetic Quote

2010-11-29T14:34:00.001-06:00

Unforgiveness is the venom of forked tongues,
Slithering vipers, rattling on, and on,
Bitter the guile that once seemed sweet,
Now danger lurks due to adulterous speech,
Speak the truth and free the mind
Forgiveness will come in time…

Sista Quotes

2010-11-19T14:30:00.002-06:00

We are the collective vision of our thoughts; we determine our value, our essence, and our substance.
Our substance cannot be found outside ourselves; and until we become aware of whom we are, and align ourselves therewith; our potential lies in wait… and so do our mates…

Thank U… We Sometimes Forget…

Thank U for We sometimes forget…
Thank U for care, and compassion
Thank U for tender embraces and healthy conversations
Regardless of our tendency to go on and on
Thank U for making the bread, and sharing the dough
Thank U for kissing the bruises, an speaking the pain gone
Thank U despite the fact we sometimes forget to say,
To every Father, Brother, Lover, Husband, Friend or Son…
Thank U

"For Colored Girls" My Two Cents

2010-11-08T14:26:00.004-06:00

My Two Cents,
We seem to forget, this is a movie based on a play, written by a woman, who experienced these truths in her life, and the lives of the women around her. It is my opinion; Tyler Perry desired to bring this book to film, in honor of its author Ntozake Shange, and her story. I was eleven when my mother first brought “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf”, home…
The book was the rave in the African American Book Community for which my mother frequented. As a result she purchased the book, only to have me to crack the pages and dive in, before she read the first words.
For weeks I carried the book as if on assignment from GOD, to read and comprehend its pages. I was moved by the stories, the poetic rhymes of each tale, and was consequently inspired to write my first piece of poetry.
Since then I have written (although not yet published) hundreds upon hundreds of rhythmic lines, and words that dance and prance in the minds of the reader.
It is this book that began my odyssey of poetry and I thank Tyler Perry for breathing life, into this creation of art once again. Reading through the multitude of personal post and reviews, I thought, “Hummm let me add my two cents to the pot.
It seems many Brothers are calling “For Colored Girls” another all-out male bashing movie, taken in the same vein as, ‘The Women of Brewster Place’ (written 1982) and ‘Waiting to Exhale’ (written 1992). Brothers seem to feel this movie again dehumanizes, demoralizes, and downright assonates the character of Black men.
As one author wrote “the film made me damn near embarrassed to be a black male”.
For those Brothers, those of you, who are free moral agents of ethics and integrity, who take responsibility for your family, who work diligently to build your community, and who sever the GOD of your creation with the zeal of accountability, I see your grief and understand your agony.
It is true that men of color or depicted as the riffraff deviants of society, sex craved and depraved, running from responsibility, indebted to the law for one crime are another, and that is most unfortunate. Nonetheless, my Brothers, in defense of Tyler Perry (whom I have never meet), I am of the opinion; it was not his intention to undermine, demoralize, nor weaken the already damaged persona of the Black Male Ego.
Had the text originated with Tyler Perry, Brothers, you would have my loyal support. Nevertheless, this is not the case. The film, “For Colored Girls” is a mere depiction of an original work of art, which Tyler Perry challenged himself to remain true to. Therefore I applaud my Brother, and recommend this movie to all who have yet to see it, and as you watch remember, the depictions of life in this film may not be your reality, but it is some bodies’ truth.

Living down south I met many loving souls,
Ms. Moell Latham was one, she was 50 years my senior,
and one of my best friends.
Ms. Moell passed 7 years ago this week and today as I sat in quiet contemplation,
I heard her words ringing in my ear,
"There's ten-thousand blessings in the hollow of his hands, and all I need is one". She said these words to me time and time again, believing them to be scripture.
I could never bring myself to telling her any different, for I understood what she meant as she cried and prayed, “GOD all I need is one”.

Sista Affirmations (GOOD THING)

2010-10-21T13:54:00.005-05:00

Because I am a powerful creator, I am creating a stream of attraction. In this stream there are men of various callings and life professions motivational speaks, entrepreneurs, preachers, teachers, doctors, lawyers, financial advisors, journeymen carpenters and electricians. This stream flows from me, returning to me, the emergence of HIM. From this stream of goodly gentlemen, my husband emerges, he is a man whom respectfully admires and adores me…
He is a man of tolerance and forethought, wittingly and willingly taking his time to know me. He gives into my life, cheerfully, and abundantly. From his profusion of love, and generosity, he provides for me whole heartedly. He honors me, respects me, and desires me. He leaves no stone unturned when working to create our success. We, he, I cherish the many investments of time we share. He meets my needs, purposefully to assure I am pleased. He gives thanks and praise, for my presence in his life, and we work together to achieve our life goals. He too is a powerful creator, and I am the answer to his soulful prayer for love and companionship.
I am his GOOD THING, and he is mine.

Fall cleaning is at hand, it is time to reevaluate the necessity of all those things we held on to, spiritually, physically and emotionally, following spring cleaning.
We must assess the continued necessity, value and benefits of the things we cling to. We must realize spiritual and emotional hording is just as destructive as physical hording, and devalues our worth. Let us make a clean sweep of all those things, which stagnate and bringing no value to our being. Let us release any muddled confusion, that our visions may be clear, and let the clarity of winter, prepare us for the New Year.

As much as I enjoy the relaxing vibrations of being at home, today I visualize going for a ride through the countryside, watching birds fly, and seeing the corn and wheat blowing in the breeze…
As much as I enjoy the relaxing vibrations of being at home, I visualize a handsome, fine, kind, intellectually astute gentleman, swooping me up, and taking me on a long country drive…
As much as I enjoy the relaxing vibrations of being at home, I desire to dance in the sunshine with a willing friend who also enjoys the countryside, and doesn’t mind sharing time with me…

Awakened, I allow the stream of empowering positive energy to flow through me,as I align with the giving nature of GOD, who gives the power to receive wealth.
My thoughts generate the currency, create the flow, and draw all manner of financial prosperity to me. It is my GOD given right to prosper and be in good health, even as my soul prospers. GOD has given me the tools of understanding and reason, laced with talent and ability, therefore success is the only option for me. I call forth, and draw from the creation that is me, that I may be fruitful and multiply, replenishing the earth with streams of empowering positive energy.

We all have a choice, to address our visions, hopes and dreams whole-heartedly… are on the fly… It is my opinion, when we give our vision the full measure of our breath; it takes on a life of its own. It becomes a living soul, avenues of expansion for which other creative abilities are derived. Awaken the dream in you, give it life, and watch it thrive.

Ladies-
Q: Why do some spend thousands upon thousands of $$$$$$ on a WEDDING DRESS
when it only cost a man 150$ to rent a tux?

Sista-
A: I ask the same question…
Perhaps it’s due to tradition…
I personally would get married in a Kroger Sack, as long as the brother marring me has no problem with Kroger Sacks… For me it’s all about the heart… and that money could be used elsewhere.
Call me crazy, but I’m still stuck on an ole fashion ROOTS wedding… Like when Kunta and Bell jumped the broom… (hummm is that too much information.. oooh well, it’s out now.)

A Thought I Glean, From Something I Read...

2010-10-08T15:21:00.008-05:00

I received the gift of the Holy Ghost for the first time at the age of sixteen, since that time, I have witnessed many miracles in my life, some at my own hands, due to the grace and mercy of GOD… Nonetheless, I have grown discontented with the church world. We speak of the miracles of Jesus Christ, and quote the text, but it would seem that not many of us whom cry LORD, LORD, really believe.

With great dismay I witness a world sick and dying, and no one seems to understand these few words… “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do”. Are not these the words of Jesus, written (KJV) in red…?

In my understanding, Jesus raised the dead, made the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and set the captives free… Jesus, by his teachings gave light to the darkened mind… spoke healing to the mentally ill, feed hundreds of thousands, and left us, (his brethren adopted into Sonship) the power to do the same.

Truly the Holy Ghost has need to be preached, but let us not forget to preach the Holy Ghost with power… Power isn't strength of voice... Power is however, understanding and knowledge of the work needing to be done, which is teaching truth in relation to GOD, as well as raising the dead, making the lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear and setting the captives free… Is this all metaphor and symbolism? Or perhaps we are simply refusing to die to the flesh, therefore refusing to be aligned with the nature of GOD within us…?

We the people of GOD (the church) go into the highways and hedges compelling others to come in yet we lack the power to heal, not because it's impossible, but because we are not aligned with GOD… and we leave those whom we have compelled, leaning to their own misunderstandings, and seven times worse than we found them.

We must teach by our actions. TEACH THE HOLY GHOST WITH POWER, AND THERE WILL BE NO MISUNDERSTANDING… The modern church world has us ALL blinded, with prosperity ministries. Don't get me wrong, it is GOD's will that we prosper and be in good health, but a one sided ministry of prosperity without health, blinds us and we all fall into the ditch of prosperity without power.

Hug A Tree

I did not make it to the park today, so

I travel the tree lined streets of my memory, hugging the biggest oldest tree

I could see, its branches extended twenty-one feet, its height seems to reach all we call heavenly. The bark is cold, and sort of wet, the fragrance makes me think of spinach.

Despite its cold and clammy trunk, I feel the warm vibrations of gentle love, and

I surrender to its majesty.
Nature is an inspiration, for the imagination, and love.

Maintenance Day.. 10/04/2010

2010-10-05T17:05:00.004-05:00

Maintenance man came round today…
Changing filters, looking at facets and running water down the drains.
I was dressed like a haggardly old hag;
Corn-rowed plats and spaghetti strapped dress,
I wasn’t trying to look my best, wasn’t expecting any guess.
But the FUNNY THING;
The maintenance man squinted and strained,
“Mhmmmm”, I heard him say…
Walking from room to room,
With clip-board & check list at hand,
He asked if I had any complaints.
Not one as of yet, I said.
Then he noticed my portrait on the wall.
“Ummmmp, Is that you”, he exclaimed”
With a node of my head, I said…
“Clean up well don’t I”…
As he walked away,
The biggest grin, shone upon his face…
“U take care now Ma’am”, he said...
Winking his eye, and closing the door behind…
For shame, for shame, for shame…LOL

Yes, yes, yes! Today, ‎"I comfortably and easily release the old and welcome the new in my life. I am safe."* I have held on far too long and it is time, to allow a new thought, a new idea, a new song, a new dance, a second chance at first love. Yes, yes, yes! The time is now, to create, for I am safe in the mind of my heart, and the arms of my Creator, who says, ask and it shall be given… Yes, yes, yes!

‎"It is said man is three things - What he thinks he is, what others think he is and what he really is. Which of these do you believe to be true?"

2010-10-02T14:30:00.003-05:00

Art by Lashun Beal "Thought" www.itsablackthang.com

"A Man is who he thinks he is.

Man lives his life, and makes his judgments, according to his thoughts and beliefs of himself.
A Man is also whom others think he is.

However a man is perceived in the mind of another, is exactly who he is, in the mind of that other.
A Man is seldom what he really is. Man is a spiritual being, in a physical body, living in a material world, and usually it takes many years of trial and error before man fully aligns with his spirit man, “GOD”, that is if he ever aligns at all. Once aligned however, with Spirit, GOD, Source, Creator, man is then who he was meant to be."

Sista Quotes

2010-10-02T03:40:00.001-05:00

"Growth & Contradiction"

“What man has not, contradicted himself? The man, who remains constant in his understanding of life, is unreasonable. A growing man has to contradict himself many times throughout life, for who knows what experience tomorrow holds, are what understandings of knowledge he will learn? For the conclusions of today, may well become irrelevant tomorrow.”

Running (Sista Thoughts)

2010-09-29T21:27:00.004-05:00

Much like running from a dog that’s chasing you,
Running from sin only leaves you tired and exhausted…
It has been my experience, to face the sin, the deed, the action, the thought… and confront it… “What you resist will persist” as they say…
So face and embrace who you are, see yourself (your sin) clearly and forgive yourself. Once you have forgiven yourself, release the sin, the deed, the action, or the thought with love. Now you understand what it is, to be made whole.

“Worship what you know” … John 4:22

2010-09-28T20:45:00.002-05:00

Jesus said,
“And I shall send unto you a comforter”… John 16:7
I am of the opinion, that the comforter whom Jesus sent was, “KNOWING”…
Know the truth, and it will make you free.
The disciples of Jesus believed in him,
Trusted in him, and now upon his death, they had to know he was a man of his word.
That KNOWING, would comfort them in his absence, and in the pursuit of their calling.
Jesus said, “These works I do, you can do also, and greater works than these.
Without KNOWING, there are no works…
This is what I mean when I say, “Believing must graduate to KNOWING”
“Worship what you know” … John 4:22

“If the LORD will’s”

2010-09-28T19:14:00.001-05:00

We must stop with the cop-out, of "If the LORD will's".
In interpretation, "If the LORD will's" simply means, if it doesn't happen, it aint my fault,
GOD wasn't ready for me to have it or do it.
Now let the truth be told;
That is not all together correct.
The correct answer is,
You were not ready for that, which you asked,
You doubted its existence,
You had not the patience to watch for its manifestation.
You do not believe, nor truly know, what you ask, "IS"!!!
I was an, “IF”, person before as well... but now I know,
I am that I am, and all things whatsoever I ask knowing, that will I receive.

Sista Affirmations

There are no limitations to my talents and intuitions. My soul quickens me alerting me to move forward or stand still. I am one with my creature, and I shall never be without. As psalms 23 reads, the LORD GOD my Creature, is my Sheppard, and I shall not want. I lie in green pastures, and dwell in a sure and peaceable dwelling place. Abundantly I give, for abundantly I receive, and all my desires find me.

Poem by Bernadette Marie

2010-09-27T20:37:00.005-05:00

I would give you
If I could but touch your face in a gentle sweet caress
would you know the purest feeling with my heart put to test?
If I could fashion wings for you that you may be so free
not shackled by the world's demands
of an artist's deepest need....
Everything I would give you love,
a safe fortressed garden
and lodge with which to live
To share with all those close to you....and I'd more to give.
I would give you velvet and yards and yards of brocade
So that you may rest your weary head in a manner for King's be laid.
If my lips could touch yours once
a song from you would tell
that love this true cannot be planned
ah it's been written well....
I long for you to press your face
into my long thick hair perfumed,
and hear your heart betray you
to love me please be doomed.
I would care for your heart like a precious circlet
handed down so long
and love you til you see galaxies
with all its angels thronged...
To Ville who inspires me...♥

Wishing this were over,
Although it just began,
And I’m wondering why I feel as if, I am the victim.
I’m far from the faithful follower,
Far from the armchair Christian,
Yet the news of this ruse makes me feel used.
Standing in the distance, watching from the shore,
I’m sure those involve feel emotional raped and torn.
Praying for my fellow man…
Wishing this were over,

I am grateful for all that now is, and is to come.

Just as we count or measure our steps, on the fast track to fitness, let us count and measure our words. Today, let’s take note of the number of positive conversations we initiate or engage in.

Hairstory... (A Pictures Worth A Thousand Words)

2010-09-15T21:52:00.003-05:00

Uhmmm, just a thought...

2010-09-12T18:38:00.006-05:00

Me: I tried to recall what I thought before I learned what I now know, but knowing keeps me from retrieving what I formally knew, before this knowing. I know you will understand (MPH)2

(MPH)2: Yeah, actually I do. I wonder if it’s possible to do though, because you can't unlearn so to speak. As they say you can't un-see what has been seen.

Me: Perhaps once the conscious expands, and that which was known, at one level of consciousness, yields to, or surrenders to a new level of conscious-knowing, perhaps then the former knowing,(understanding thought) becomes irretrievable and forgotten; therefore lending to that saying “former thought has passed away, and new thought stands in its place”.
Uhmmm, just a thought…

(MPH)2: I'm pretty sure it’s a good thing in retrospect that we can't go back to a previous, (for lack of better word, at the moment), lesser way of thinking. Because if we could go back, there is also the possibility we could become stuck there. Visualize an old rundown building (old thoughts), you vacate for a new upgraded dwelling, (new thoughts, new perception, new knowing), the old building is no longer safe.
The floors are caving, the roof is collapsing, and God knows what else.
Therefore, it’s more beneficial to keep moving forward, to upgrade from the old to the new... In our thoughts, (as to have a safer and better understanding of the world), it makes sense that we cannot go back, except to reflect on what we have learned; the lessons of the past as they apply in the usage of our new experiences(future), or else our growth was for nothing.

Angel: Knowing what I know makes time now. Knowing what is now, what was (yet is) and what is all a wonderful journey to all that is and will be. Knowing what I know, is what I knew expanded to all I know now. It is a change in consciousness allowing all, which is exciting, knowing what is now what I know. When I know what I know, "when" is now, knowing what I know. (lol lol)

‎(MPH) 2: @angel wow, well said lol...now I ponder do I know enuff?

Angel: ‎@ Michael we are humans becoming...we know all we need to know as knowing is all that is knowing....Simply, you know enough. You need to know that you know. Then you will know that you know all that is now, all that was and is and is, is now.

Me: I have taught you well my two grasshoppers... Now you know what you need to know, to go where you need to go… to find what you need to find to continue your growth. Your knowing is the beginning of a deeper, greater, more expansive understanding of that which you once knew, and have always known, but had to be awakened to.
Now in the awakening of your knowing, and the limitless resources of your creative thoughts, you can and will now appreciate what was meant when Jesus said I and my father are one. Now that you know, you know, you and only you can create the life you desire. For greater is the knowing, understand, and creative ability in you, than that which is in the world… You know?

(MPH) 2: Yeah. I know.

Sista Quotes

Think about it…
Thought is conceived by thought, apprehended by thought, destroyed by thought,
Thought is created, destroyed, and resurrected by thought.
U are your thoughts, and your thoughts are the essence of who U are.
“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”… (KJV)

Before GOD was in me, I was in GOD.
Before Life was breathe, I requested send me.
Before my journey, I forgot what I knew.
Now, I AM remembering that I once knew.
Before GOD was in me, I was in GOD.

Campatibility: The likelihood of Success or Failure

2010-09-07T14:43:00.005-05:00

When seeking heart, lung, liver and other transplants,

it is necessary the donor is compatible, on three levels of matching,

are the procedure is likely to fail.
When seeking a life partner, friend, or mate,

it is necessary to align oneself with someone who is compatible

to one’s ideal/need of a giving, supportive, contributor of thoughts,

ideas, and spirituality, are the alliance is likely to fail.
Physical attraction is not a viable conduit for measuring compatibility and longevity.

Search beyond the seen for sustainable compatibility and success.
Searching requires patience.

It matters not,

For ignorance is equivalent to knowing without doing,
Thus the wages are the same. ~Sista

AM I MY BROTHER'S KEEPER...?

2010-08-26T02:33:00.006-05:00

ChicagoTribune.com:Death of infant twins ruled homicide; mother charged;
CNN.COM: What drives a mother to kill;

This was a difficult read; four children forever gone...

Two story’s, just a few days apart, another mother takes the life of her children, ages 2 and 1. Devean and Ja’avan Duley died by strangulation, at the hand of their mother, just 4 days after Kimora and Kamari Roberson, were found lifeless and neglected.
These acts are not mere coincident, they are however, the wounded cries of a society that has lost its way. It is reported; every three day’s a child dies at the hands of, his or her parent/s, be it neglect, or abuse.
Are we our brother's keeper...? Yes we are… and somehow, we must find a way to stop the madness. We cannot continue to close our eyes, and turn our heads in the opposite direction.
Our young men and women are screaming for help, and we don’t hear them… We are waiting for them to mouthed 911, emergency, help me I have fallen, however we will never hear a word, for their screams are their behavior, and their actions, are our only clue. Our young adults are lost, and hurting, wounded by fear, and crippled by pain. They seek love, affection and acceptance, and find lust, confusion, and unwanted pregnancy, and then the children suffer. We must awaken, and understand we have been given a command, to love our neighbors as ourselves. These children and their mothers were someone’s neighbor, family member, or friend… May GOD meet these women where they are, and supply them the aid, they undoubtedly need…
Amen

If I Could Not Fail

2010-08-18T17:05:00.004-05:00

If I could not fail,
I would master the art of lucid dreaming,
I would take all the necessary steps to become a master teacher,
teaching and inspiring all those seeking to be awakened.
If I could not fail,
I would own my own land, farm,
preserving and selling all my own goods,
in my own general store, in some small town in rural America.
If I could not fail,
I would be a master photographer,
displaying my art like priceless jewels,
owning my own photo-gallery.
If I could not fail,
I would build a solar and wind powered home to live in,
and have the utility companies pay me!
If I could not fail,
I would become a light weight female body builder,
and make the Guinness Book of World Records,
due to my heart defect.
If I could not fail,
I would find, marry, and grow old,
sharing all these experiences, and accomplishments,
with the man who loves me, as I love him.
If I could not fail.

No shame in knowing your worth...

2010-08-18T15:42:00.003-05:00

In my Shug Avery voice:

“No not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it just pisses GOD off”,

For us to walk through life’s fields of fertile potential, and don’t notice the creative potential within ourselves. It’s not vain to know your worth, and want to share a good thing.

My Favorite Photo...

2010-08-18T00:46:00.001-05:00

This is my favorite photo...
It was taken after my second open heart surgery at age 5. It was the end of the school day. Momma and I were returning home, after my long stay in the hospital. But first she needed to stop by the school; I think to see what she needed for me to return to school. Momma learned the school was having picture day. The kindergarten teacher told Momma the photographer was packing up. She was sure he was done for the day. Momma asked when he would return, the teacher said next year. So with me in tow, Momma raced to find the photographer. Me, still dressed in my hospital clothes, Momma asked the photographer if he would take my picture. The photographer took one look at Momma, and then at me, and with a kind smile, he said yes. Momma asked if he would give her time to run home so I could change my clothes...and again the gentleman smiled and said yes.
At home, Momma snatched this brand-new dress down from the closet, price-tag, and plastic still on. With a quick wash-up and change, we were back at the school. The photographer was true to his word.
Three weeks later October 17, 1971, wearing the same dress, with Momma watching as I cross the street heading to school, a car jumped the curb hitting me, causing two broken ribs, a gash in my forehead, and temporary paralyzes. Needless to say I never saw this dress again for either, the doctors, attendants, or paramedics had cut me out of my beautiful new dress.

THE MOVIE "INCEPTION"

2010-08-12T15:04:00.002-05:00

After years of novice attempts to understand lucid dreaming, and the complexities of human consciousness, I have finally had the opportunity to view a movie, which tackles these subjects with depth and creativity. This movie addresses the intrinsic perplexities of the subconscious, demonstrating the over lapping worlds we build as we sleep. I will be buying the movie... “Inception”.
