What is your competitive edge?

Greetings everyone!

Do You Understand Your Season of Change?

The caterpillar knows his assignment; he understands and recognizes his season of change. He does not fear or fight against it but willingly positions himself to embrace and endure the severe process of metamorphosis.

He does not despise his beginnings because he understands that the matrix of his world as a caterpillar is only a temporary form that carries his future. The ‘caterpillar’ is the larval stage of what he’s been created to be, a butterfly. He knows that beneath his… Continue

Carnegie Secret Formula

Carnegie Reveals His Secret Formula

In 1883, while Carnegie was at the peak of his career, a boy was born to a poor family in a log cabin in the mountains of Virginia.

It would be another 10 years before this boy would own his first pair of shoes, and 12 years before he saw a railroad train.

Yet, this young man would one day become the advisor to presidents and mentor to millions. His name was Napoleon Hill.

"I discovered why my father named me… Continue

The Rites of Women Pt. 2 - Celebrating the Mother to Be

The Rites of Women Pt. 2

By Tonya K. Freeman

Rite of Passage: Celebrating the Mother to Be

As a woman awaits the birth of her child, there is a ritual that is practiced in America and it is called a baby shower. It is the closest that we come to celebrating the state of being that a woman is in…the anticipation of the “almost here time.”

There is another ritual that is becoming popular known as the Blessing Way Ceremony in honor of the Navajo… Continue

The Rites of Women Pt. 1 Menarche

The Rites of Women ©2005

By Dr. Tonya K. Freeman

First Rite: Menarche

For a number of years now, I have been a strong advocate of women reclaiming their spiritual mysteries. In my workshops, seminars, and Primordial Priestess Training, the women are encouraged to identify and embrace the first mystery that they were introduced to, their Sacred Moon Cycle. By honoring this part of themselves, many have experienced a closer connection to Gaia’s rhythms and cycles,… Continue

The Toxic Job

Is your JOB toxic?? We have all heard of toxic relationships and friendships. You know the ones that bring you down, lead you down the wrong path, or cause you more harm or hurt than good. So, is your JOB toxic? And how can you tell. If your immediate response to the question was yes, then case closed. If you are not so sure whether your job is toxic or not, I have some things you may want to think about. I'm not professing to be a career counselor, or anything like that, but I had a… Continue

Make this the Best V-Day Ever!…Whoever your date is (him or you!)

Valentine’s Day. Immediately, these words conjure visions of roses, boxes of gourmet chocolates and an intimate

night with your loved one. But if you’ve been with the same person for years, or spending this year alone, chances

are things in the bedroom are more lackluster than explosive. Don’t let Valentine’s melt into another ordinary day.

Spice things up with the following tips from Dana B. Myers, co-founder of Booty Parlor.

Why Should I Use the Proper Oil In My Vehicle?

Last week, we discussed the importance of oil changes. I hope everyone put their's on their calendar. As promised, we will talk about the proper oil weight for your vehicle. Each vehicle has its own weight of oil. Today's vehicles use 5w20 or 5w30. There are rare occassions for vehicles to use 5w40. Synthetics and diesels are different type oils. We will discussed those oils in future blogs.

When a vehicle uses 5w20 or 5w30, these numbers mean something. The "5" is the thinner part… Continue

(BlackDoctor.org) -- Jennifer Burch has seen the ads for Seasonale, Barr Pharmaceutical's new packaging of the standard birth control pill that promises users just four periods a year.

But, she said, she's not buying it.

"Let the body do what it does naturally," said Burch, a 32-year-old yoga instructor who said she was in the midst of her monthly period at the time, with its usual bothersome mood swings.

Change Cannot Occur Without Your Cooperation

Change, while good, is not always an easy transition. Many of us want change but have a hard time making the necessary adjustments to make it possible.

Think about the caterpillar before its transition into a butterfly. It goes through a rigorous transformation called metamorphosis. During its larval stage it crawls on the ground to nourish on plant life until its pupa stage. When the larva is fully-grown, it stops feeding and begins drifting in quest for a suitable pupation site.… Continue
