LOVE


TAKE A DEEP BREATH
TAKE A LOOK AROUND
EXHALE
THANK GOD FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE
THANK GOD FOR ALL THAT YOU WILL HAVE 
LOVE IS ALL ONE WILL EVER NEED 
WHERE LOVE BEGINS-ALL ARE ONE
WHERE LOVE STOPS-SUFFERING BEGINS
AND EVEN WHEN YOUR HEART HAS BEEN BROKEN
KNOW THAT LOVE EXISTS AND SLOWLY BUT CERTAINLY
YOU WILL LIVE ON....
TO LOVE..... AGAIN

Don’t Speak About It, Be About It

From our Hip Hop Sister Michelle Woods:

There is some sort of creative energy rotating with the sun these days. People are finding their true passion and coming up with all sorts of ideas as to how to execute them. Folks are putting teams together, organizing groups and gathering friends and family for support and resources. The ongoing problem is what are we making of these resources? What are we doing with pdf files and loose papers filled with notes upon notes describing our grand plan that could change the economy, provide shelter for the homeless or help people own property?

IT’S TIME TO EXECUTE PEOPLE! Pursuing our dreams is the beginning of a world changing domino affect. When you do something you love, you love doing it. It’s that simple! We help people and when we feel good we make others feel good. These people like you and can’t seem to understand why it is that whenever they’re around you, they feel better. It’s because you’re happy. Those same people tell others about you (which keeps your business booming) and start to feel motivated to pursue THEIR dreams in hopes of being as consistently happy as you are!

It doesn’t matter if you have a 9-5, or you are the CEO of your own corporate office or run a non- profit as long as you are HAPPY and content. We tend to equate “content” with stability and money. Sure generating funds from pursuing your passion is a major bonus but the true pay off lies within. Let the excited beat of your heart knock over a domino and wah’lah, you can witness the magic of true happiness.

Be creative. Make a career of your passion. Don’t Speak About It, Be About It!

Greeting Card Love

Written by our Hip Hop Sister Michelle Woods

Have you ever received a meaningful greeting card that touched you? Why was it so special? What did it say? Do you keep all your cards or do you throw them away? What makes a greeting card worth keeping?

When you're in the card aisle of a grocery store or even in the Hallmark store itself, how do you choose your greeting cards?

People express themselves in different ways. Some folks carefully choose a greeting card to make sure it says exactly what they want to say. Some buy blank greeting cards to simply have an opportunity to express their feelings in their own words. Maybe they buy the card for the artwork and the gesture.

Greeting cards are given to acknowledge a special someone. Could be a special occasion, a holiday, a Thank You, an Apology, a well wish etc. No matter the occasion a greeting card lets someone know how you're feeling.

The question is, how often do these cards take the place of face to face interaction? How often do people let a piece of printed cardstock take the place of their heart? Would you be willing to read your card to it's recipient if you had to?

 It's a great thing that we have so many options when it comes to communication. What's your top choice?
