Do you remember your first time? Not necessarily when you lost your virginity but the first time that you felt the magic of sex.
Losing your virginity, man and woman, may have been very awkward, exciting, anxious, scary situation. I'm referring to the first time that someone entered you or you entered someone, just when the bodies collide and the sheer magnitude of what was transpiring and the look of sincere love, trust and forever was in the other person's eyes and you melt, floating into a whole new realm...
Sorry, just floated away : ). Do you think about that magic moment?
Some of us experience magic every time we consummate our relationships, while others feel it every time they start a new one and sadly, there are those of us who have never had a magic moment. Then, there are those that are trying to rekindle it, in a relationship that has been in a rut for too long and got so comfortable that life without the other person seems impossible. They are the lost ones.
Anyway, I just wanted us to be reminded of those Magical Moments that makes us human beings. To those who haven't had that experience - seek and ye shall find. And to the rest of us, keep making magic.

This is what I'm working on......
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
Enough money within her control to move out
And rent a place of her own,
Even if she never wants to or needs to...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
Something perfect to wear if the employer,
Or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...
A youth she's content to leave behind....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
A past juicy enough that she's looking forward to
Retelling it in her old age....
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ......
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....
One friend who always makes her laugh... And one who lets her cry...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .....
A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems,
And a recipe for a meal,
That will make her guests feel honored...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ....
A feeling of control over her destiny...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to quit a job,
Break up with a lover,
And confront a friend without;
Ruining the friendship...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
When to try harder... And WHEN TO WALK AWAY...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That she can't change the length of her calves,
The width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
That her childhood may not have been perfect...but its over...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she would and wouldn't do for love or more...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
How to live alone... Even if she doesn't like it...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW.. ..
Whom she can trust,
Whom she can't,
And why she shouldn't take it personally.
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
Where to go...
Be it to her best friend's kitchen table.
Or a charming inn in the woods...
When her soul needs soothing...
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...
What she can and can't accomplish in a day...
A month...and a year...

Waste -get rid of it!
Hey folks,
Do you remember at the end of your vacation, your parents would give you a worm-out or a purge? Do parents still do that? Anyway, my mother insisted on giving me one and I don't live at home anymore. While I was sitting on the toilet, i thought about getting rid of waste and the process. All the waste that we keep in our bodies, mind, heart and lives.
As it is Lent, and not only because it is Lent, we should take this opportunity to get rid of the waste that may be slowing us down - those in the body and those out of the body. Waste, as defined by Wikipedia: unwanted or undesired material. We all have waste in our lives. Now, I'm not saying to put yourself through the discomfort of a purge, but there are fibre foods that can help get rid of waste. I'm not a dietitian, so do your own research. However, I advise with regards to your emotional and somewhat, spiritual health, and I'm saying purge the negatives in your lives. These include, BAD relationships, friendships, colleagues, any one or thing that brings negativity to your day.
If you don't want conflict with your colleagues, avoid them. If the man or woman in your life is bringing you down, let them go. It is high time that we start loving our selves, unconditionally.
So, if you have not cleaned out your room, house or heart since whenever, it is time for a purge. It should be a course; do it until you are burden free and light on your feet. Life has so much more alternatives that the one you are currently on. A friend told me once that life is not easy, but I don't believe that it suppose to be THIS hard. Let's lighten our burdens, starting today.
Enjoy your day, got to run.
Be Blessed!

Superheroes
Do Superheroes sleep? Have you ever wondered?
I consider myself, and all other working wives and mothers, superwomen, in their own right. And many of us feel guilty when we sleep late or sleep in the daytime, because there are so many other things that we should or could be doing, either in the house or for our husbands or kids. That is just downright wrong, at all levels.
They say rest is for the dead, I say that sleep is for the soulful. Sleep is the period when your body rejuvenates, where your brain lacks clutter and magical thoughts are sparked and when healing takes place. Night rest gives closure to the past day and renewal of hope for the morning. Sleep is the pause button on your remote - very functional and necessary.
Now, I spoke about wives and mothers, but I will like to extend the importance of sleep to all. We live in a world where 24 hours just do not suffice. Between work, school and hours to commute, daily, we just don't have time. But we must rest! If we do not, we will not perform at our very best.
Hope everyone had a restful night and has welcomed the new dawn with joy and hope for a beautiful day. Remember to give thanks and praises to the Most High.
Be Blessed.

Love Anonymous
I stayed up looking at television, last night. With the slim choices of
good programs, I found myself looking at One Tree Hill. Do not ridcule
me, there was nothing else to watch.
The thing is every single show we view, series, program, or movie the
underlying essence is Love. What is this thing called Love? Why do we so
desperately search, yearn and die trying to find Love, knowing that the
end result is hurt and despair? Too many of us walk into emotionally
disastrous situations with our eyes and our legs open. Why?
It is said that a satisfying life is not complete without love. Even in
the series, last night, one of the characters had everything - own
business, fame, money and she was still unhappy. Yet still, we who have
so much less complain incessantly about our unhappiness. Is it only Love
we all crave? It seems that Love, Horn and AIDS are common denominators.
Rich, poor, famous, man, woman, black and white are all subjected to the
inevitable - Hurt. Again, why do we want Love?
In an idealistic time, long ago, I believed that one could love like
you've never been hurt. Who the fuck believes that? Pardon my french.
Really,are we walking headless chickens? Every time we enter into
another game of hearts, we remember what the last opponent put us
through, and we protect ourselves. The saddest thing, though is that we
eventually succumb, thinking that this game would have a different
outcome, guess what, hell fucking no. Same shit; different person.
Nonetheless, we persevere. We suffer our hearts, our minds, sometimes
even our children just to get the sweet nectar of love. Love = Heroin.
Maybe we should have a Love Anonymous, rehab for the broken hearted.
If you are hurting, depressed or even angry, know that you are not
suffering alone and that it will end with Time. You will move on, you
will heal with a scar and the irony is, you will get hurt again.
Love on, Love Strong.
Be Blessed!

Theme for the year 2008
Just Fine"
You know I love music
And every time I hear something hot
It makes me wanna move
It makes me wanna have fun
But it’s something about this joint right here
This joint right here
Its makes me wanna…..Woooh
Let it go……
Can’t let this thing called love get away from you
Feel free right now, going do what you want to do
Can’t let nobody take it away, from you, from me, from we
No time for moping around, are you kidding?
And no time for negative vibes, cause I’m winning
It’s been a long week, I put in my hardest
Gonna live my life, feels so good to get it right
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
No stress through the night, at a time in my life
Ain’t worried about if you feel it
Got my head on straight, I got my mind right
I aint gonna let you kill it
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just fine
Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
Keep your head up high
In yourself, believe in you, believe in me
Having a really good time, I’m not complaining
And I’m a still wear a smile if it raining
I got to enjoy myself regardless
I appreciate life, I’m so glad I got mine
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
When I’m walking past the mirror
Aint worried about you and what you gonna do
I’m a lady so I must stay classy
Got to keep it hot, keep it together
If I want to get better
You see I wouldn’t change my life, my life’s just…..
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine
I aint gon’ let nothing get in my way
(I ain't gone let nobody bring me down, no, no, no)
No matter what nobody has to say
(No way, no way, no way)
I ain’t gon’ let nothing get in my way
No matter what nobody has to say
Feels so good, when you’re doing all the things that you want to do
Get the best out of life, treat yourself to something new
It’s a really good thing to say
That I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
Just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, ooooh
You see I won’t change my life, my life’s just fine
So I like what I see when I’m looking at me
