Time keeps on passing where days seem to get shorter and shorter
Realizing more and more it's time to get my house in order
With so much noise in my head, sometimes I can't think
Feels like I am standing in quick sand --- slowly I begin to sink
Just to be preoccupied with the everyday non-sense I wish to break free
Causes of the all around chaos is making it hard to see
Precious moments coming and going --- fading with time
Not fully living life is truly a crime
Looking for that serene place where my preoccupation no longer traps my mind
Refusal I vow to spend the rest of my eternity being blind
So I write for clarity --- hopes for release
Find my mind's quiet space; there, the gift of inner peace

Mindful Reflections


--EVIL-- In order for EVIL to triumphs, is for all GOOD men do nothing. -Unknown

--FAILURE-- "Success and Failure are like dusk & dawn...it is impossible to appreciate success without appreciating the learning experience of failure." by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

--OPEN MIND-- "Minds are like parachutes -- they only function when open." - Thomas Dewey

--ACCOUNTABILITY-- We are what we defend. I check myself daily as to what am I operating out of?

--HUMILITY-- Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to each them. Adlai Stevenson, 1900-1965

--GREATNESS-- We must not measure greatness from the mansion down, but from the manger up.

--CHANGE-- Evident of current reality, I am forced to stray from under the forces of the establishment. The song is gone. I am giving my life's notice. Daily, seeing folk fussing and stealing with a lustful hunger for life that we ALL cannot afford.

--CHANGE-- (con't) I am sick and tired of scratching for a decent life. I am looking for a different way to approach all things. I am betting on CHANGE!

--FEAR-- My greatest fear.... When fear shows up, how does it affect your life? Personally, one of my greatest fear is feeling invisible.

--HABITS-- Tune the Tide of Habits. How does your habits good or bad govern your life? Personally, my bad habits on more days than I can count have rendered me paralyzed.

--HAPPINESS-- Golden Rule: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Happiness is never something you get from other people. The happiness you feel is directly related to love you give! How do you define happiness?

Voice Whispers....Daily Affirmation

It Speaks......


It Speaks..... Give Yourself Permission God has given me another day as He smiles brightly through the sun. If He can smile on me today despite my blue disposition, I certainly can give myself permission to just be!

It Speaks.... I dwell in POSSIBILITY When I feel incomplete, only I alone can fill myself with love in all of my shattered places.

It Speaks..... I am still OKAY! Today, I was climbing hills to reach the sun -- mostly I was stumbling down and still I have mountains to climb, but RIGHT NOW I am doing the best I can....

Beauty Tips: BOBBED AND BEAUTIFUL Give your bob a boost. To create fullness and volume, stylist Tina Pearson curls hair with a large-barrel iron (hair can also be roller-set). Style tip: Before heat styling, protect hair with a dab of Mizani.

Beauty Tips: WINTER DRY SKIN To prevent WINTER DRY SKIN: Take only one shower or bath daily. Wash with comfortably warm (not hot) water, using a soap that either has a high fat content or contains glycerin. Limit your bath time to 10 to 15 minutes, and avoid scrubbing
