IMAGINE LIFE AS A GAME IN WHICH YOU ARE JUGGLING FIVE BALLS IN THE AIR. YOU NAME THEM WORK, FAMILY, HEALTH. FRIENDS, AND SPIRIT, AND YOU ARE KEEPING THEM ALL IN THE AIR. YOU WILL SOON UNDERSTAND THAT WORK IS A RUBBER BALL. AND IF YOU DROP IT, IT WILL BOUNCE BACK. BUT THE OTHER FOUR BALLS ARE MADE OF GLASS. IF YOU DROP ONE OF THESE, THEY WILL BE IRREVOCABLY SCUFFED, MARKED, NICKED, DAMAGED, AND EVEN SHATTERED. THEY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. UNDERSTAND THAT, AND STRIVE FOR BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE. YESTERDAY IS HISTORY, TOMORROW IS A MYSTERY, AND TODAY IS A GIFT, THAT'S why WE CALL IT THE PRESENT.

Black Woman Cake...written by a Black Man (It's a Great Message) NEVER FORGET! THERE WERE SPECIAL INGREDIENTS GOD USED IN MAKING A GOOD WOMAN. Subject : BLACK WOMAN CAKE I'm making a black woman cake cause I'm hungry as hell. And the sweet tooth I have only a sista can break the spell. Let me reach into my spice rack to see what I can get. To make a mix that will stick to my stomach you can bet. 2 cups of intelligence 1 cup of sugar brown (Cause she's got to be sweet, mental, deep and sound) Cinnamon is always good to accent the taste A few cups of culture, so she's down for her race (You see I won't bite into anything that's not conscious of its own, that's why I stick to chocolate and leave angel food alone) I am adding butter cause she must be smooth 2 raisins for the dimples will also be cool I must add eggs so she can reproduce (Can't leave her hanging cause I like children too) I think I'll add a little salt, to balance her out And a dominant profile, to show she has clout For a responsible woman, I'll throw in some yeast (So she'll swell with juices, when I'm ready to feast) I'll add 7 cups of courage and into the oven to bake Turn it to 360 degrees, To balance out her mental state. Now that it's done brothers, I won't share her wealth, but I'm sharing the recipe as I'm consuming this black woman all by myself. Good Black Women are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets, in the malls, in captivity behind the walls,and in the hall at work. Most we can't see because we don't know what a good woman really looks like. She usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn our heads. She might not wear a fur coat or push a Lexus. She might not have a 'body by Fisher' or a face for ' Ebony. ' But as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head. A Good Black Woman doesn't agree whole-heartedly with everything you say. She doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. She doesn't have to declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, yada, yada, yada, she is (she won't have to...because it shows). She has her own opinions, and you may clash, but she doesn't have to degrade you to prove she's right. She evens admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same. A Good Black Woman is not going to meet every item on your checklist. She is human with frailties & faults mixed in with all of her wonderful, sensual attributes. She needs your love & respect. She needs to feel that you don't have to catch her doing something wrong so you can declare 'Aha I knew all along' A Good Black Woman doesn't necessarily give you a huge Birthday or Valentine gift. She shows her love in the ways that are comfortable to her. Don't judge her by TV standards. No one is living that Fairy tale--for real. BLACK WOMEN, we salute you, and thank you for whom you are, and all you've done. Pass this along to some of the 'Good Black Women' you know, and a few men that need to read It. AS A STUDENT OF HIGHER LEARNING OF WHO I AM, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEARN WHAT IT IS TO BE YOU. FOR CENTURIES, YOU HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU WERE LESS THAN NOTHING AND A PRODUCT OF SIN, WHEN IN REALITY, THEY ARE A PRODUCT OF SIN. THEY HAVE ALSO STRICKEN US OF OUR BIRTH RIGHTS AND GIVEN US A TITLE THAT DOES'NT PERTAIN TO US. NOW IS THE TIME TO SAY THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, NOW GIVE ME BACK MY IDENITY AND GIVE BACK WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINES. AS A NEGRO, AFRO-AMERICAN, OR AFRICAN AMERICAN, DOES'NT REALLY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOU OTHER THAN, YOU ARE DESENDANCE OF SLAVES, WHEN ACTUALLY AND TRUTHFULLY, ALL BLACKS WERE'NT SLAVE SAND MORE INTELLIGENT THAN THE WHITE MAN. THEY HAVE STOLEN OUR INVENTIONS, CHANGED OUR LANGUAGE, AND EVEN RAPED AND MURDERED OUR WOMEN. WHEN IS THE STATE OF UN-CONSIOUSNESS GONNA TURN INTO CONSIOUSNESS. OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR MIND TO OVERCOME THE POWER OF IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY AND FREE YOURSELF.

Beneath a controlled, cool exterior beats the heart of the deeply intense Scorpio. Passionate, penetrating, and determined, this sign will probe until they reach the truth. The Scorpio may not speak volumes or show emotions readily, yet rest assured there's an enormous amount of activity happening beneath the surface. Excellent leaders, Scorpions are always aware. When it comes to resourcefulness, this sign comes out ahead. Friends and Family Sincerity and truth are strong components of the Scorpio's friends. It can take some time before really close bonds are formed, but once done, the Scorpio will remain dedicated and loyal. Witty and intellectual, they prefer companions who are humorous and easygoing. Full of surprises, this sign will give you the shirt off their backs if that's what you need, yet once they are crossed, there's no turning back. They feel deeply, and once hurt, it can be impossible to turn things around. Commitment to family is strong and consistent with the Scorpio. They are exceptionally helpful in managing affairs, and they are excellent advocates when needed. Career and Money I desire is the key phrase for the Scorpio. They are fantastic at managing, solving, or creating. Once the Scorpio sets their sights on a goal, there's no deterring this sign. Tasks that require a scientific, penetrating approach are always best done by Scorpions as they will delve deeply into the materials they have. Their ability to focus coupled with determination makes for strong management skills. They're not ones to worry about making friends on the job scene; rather, they prefer to see the task accomplished well. Pursuing such careers as scientist, doctor, investigator, navigator, detective, researcher, police officer, business manager, and psychologist all suit the mighty Scorpio. Respect is an essential aspect of working for this sign. They need to respect their coworkers while also feeling a sense of being respected by others. Scorpions are disciplined enough to stick to a budget and unafraid of working as hard and as long as it takes to get themselves in a good financial position. Many are fortunate and inherit money. Whatever the case - and regardless of the balance - they are great managers of their dollars and are not apt to overspend. Money means security and a sense of control, which is important to the Scorpio. Therefore, they're going to hang onto the majority of the cash, making decisions carefully before turning any of it over. Love and Sex This is the strongest of the sexualities in the Zodiac. Incredibly passionate, the Scorpio takes intimacy seriously. Partners need to be intelligent and honest. Much of the foreplay for this sign happens long before the bedroom through conversation and observation. Once in love, they are devoted and loyal to the death. But relationships can take some time. The Scorpio needs to build trust and respect for a potential mate slowly and thoroughly.
