Peeling The Skin Off Of A Juicy Peach

By -
It's just been a few days and hubby and I are already enjoying bliss with our cups running over abundantly! I can no longer deny myself of everything, everything that I am and want to have and meeting people along the way that help me on my path is priceless!




Here's an interesting quote I read: "Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody". -Mark Twain

Do you believe that? I do, and I also know that there comes a time when you just want it to all hang out. When you just want to be you and not fear judgement and condemnation. And, you want to know that you are still loved.

Here's a couple of things to think about that I took from a book I'm reading (and I'll share it with you soon):

No matter how compassionate you consider yourself to be you know that you have a more selfish, sometimes arrogant, impatient side. Don't you?

No matter how much you pride yourself on your discipline you have a secretive addictive tendency that you keep under inflexibly tight control.

No matter how much you preach about morality and purity to others you constantly battle with your longing to indulge your senses in every possible way.

No matter how much you defend your independence from others and claim you want nothing from them you desperately long to find someone who will take charge and let you lean on them.

These are just a few examples of how much we desire to be and allow others to know who we really are and what's really going on and at the same time continue to be loved, adored, nurtured and respected. Don't we?

I say all of this to say, thanks to all the beautiful souls that I have met along my way, who has helped and continues to help me to BE me, fully and unashamedly. They allow us to be who we are with loving and open arms. This is my special thanks to you!

    thank you for this inspiration. right now i'm fighting this internal battle of authenticity and acceptance. i'm learning that i will be loved and rewarded for being my true self no matter what. i'm appreciated the dualities of womanhood :)
    i recommend a book by Vicki Noble called "The Double Goddess," which talks about the historical roots of goddesses working together.

    CONGRATS on the baby, blessings!

My Monday Morning Started At 11:00PM...Last Night!

We had to take little j. to the Doctor this morning because last night he didn't sleep good and neither did we. He kept crying and crying and wouldn't stop. We were completely thrown because he had such a good day. Could it be: 1. He's teething and it's bothering him? Yes, but a little baby Orajel and infants Tylenol should have done the trick. It didn't. 2. I ate something that didn't agree with him? Of course we couldn't come up with anything. 3. He was just so tired from everything we did yesterday and it was hard for him to fall asleep? Maybe. 4. He got bit by a bug and we didn't know? We checked all over, no bites. We even checked to see if there was a piece of hair wrapped around his little fingers and toes. None! 5. Because he's teething he could have an ear infection? Yes very possible but he didn't show the usual signs: fever, pulling at his ears (that looked like it was out of the norm for him because it's something he does often...

Inspired To Write...

The other day a friend of mine asked me, where have you been? She then proceeded to say, it's like you fell off the face of the earth. I laughed and said, "no, I've actually fallen onto the face of the earth". Girl, thanks for that little laugh, I appreciated the moment :) I've fallen onto the face of the earth and bumped right into my family, friends (old and new), business partners, business meetings, social gatherings, moms meetings, and so many activities for the kids, life has been busy. My natural journey has opened so many doors, talk about beautiful women. Sistah's who have inspired me to keep going and stay focused on the end result rather than the transitioning stage. These days I mostly wear my hair in a ponytail-bun. I don't have time to get all fancy, but when I can I'll do a two-strand twist style and use my latest product discovery, Oyin Handmade . They are very reasonable and the products smell so good. If it's one thing I...
