Dr. Iyanla vanzant

I had no idea that when I met Dr. Vanzant personally a few months ago, how she would touch my life and tell me things about myself that I wasn't aware of. I am so grateful for the lesson even though it was given to me in such a short time. Iyanla picked up on many things about me in such a short time that it still stunned me still today. She told me things about myself that I was aware of but didn't pay much attention too.

It's funny how many people in this world do not know thyself. Knowing thyself is the greatest gift on this earth!

Iyanla told me this year, 2009, would be a "1" meaning something great would happen to me and for me. I had no idea what she was talking about until today. "Yesterday and Today I cried" tears of joy as my life unfolded in front of me. The things that are happening in my life today has made me more grateful and so much more aware of the Lord Jesus Christ. I put all faith and trust in him and only him.

The "1" has come through and I am so proud of what I have accomplished with the help of God, Jesus, the Lord himself. My life could not get any better but it's funny, I know it will as I finish my last 7th year. As Iyanla has said and my Herbalist, Dr. Earl, we are reborn every 7 years and as we are reborn our body changes and we know ourselves better and deeper every 7 years. I am at the end of my 5th rebirth and will start the 6th with happy wide open arms, eyes, soul, and spirit.

Why me?

I have asked this question many times in my head
...over and over again. Why me?
Why did I have to go through all of this
Why me
Why did I have to inherit this disease
Why me
Why have I been battling back and forth
Why me
Why can't it just stay away forever
Don't visit me every day, every other day, week, month, year
Why me

Nobody understands me
And I don't understand them
My disease is my secret
I will carry it to my grave
Or should I reach out and help anothers
Since I know more now than I did 5, 10, 15 years ago
Why me, why me

As I research my disease and know how to deal
I will be sure to share and help another
As it's in my nature to help anyone in need
I will apply everything I've learned from my research
And apply it to my everyday life

Life is not a blaim game
Everyone and everything is on earth at this moment for a reason
Every one is unique in their own right
I am here for a reason
And this I know to be true
And I will fight my way to top

This disease will NEVER hold be back
It's just a little obstacle here and there
But I will overcome
I am now glad its me
It's me and I am happy

I am now on Twitter...still figuring it out!

Check Ms. Largie out on Twitter! I am still trying to figure out this site but we'll see what happens. I have no friends yet since my yahoo address book is so darn large but hey. I am a friendly person and I love to socialize when I in the mood! :-)

PS: So I am on Facebook, Myspace, blackplanet, linkedin, Hi5, Bebo (dont even know what the hell that is), and what else....tagged.com. I think that is it. I am easy to find.

Where is this country going, you need to ask where will Black America be in 10 years

After reading the "African American's, Health Dispatiries and HIV/AIDS" report from the National Minority AIDS Council, I got a wake up call. You know you hear about African American are dying more from diabetes, heart disease, and HIV/AIDS than any other race on the news, the internet, and magazines. You want to know why and how it can be prevented? Well this report, only 25 pages long, gives you the hard facts and recommendations for prevention. Of course, we can attribute heart disease and diabetes to the diets African American maintain as well as genetics but African Americans cannot, however, blame the HIV/AIDS disease transference as a diet imbalance or genetics. The African American community needs to take responsibility for their actions.

Protect yourself at all times and get tested!

Did you know that African Americans account for 49% (almost 50%) of all HIV/AIDS cases in the U.S.? Latin American accounts for 20% and Whites (non-hispanic) accounts for 28%. There is a huge disparity that we as African Americans cannot ignore anymore! African Americans are not susceptible to the HIV/AIDS disease. If you don't know your status, find out today and use protection everytime.

One of the greatest impact on the African Community is homosexual behaviors with men in prison and the non-use of condoms as they are not available in most prisons in this country. African Americans account for 41% of the total prison population (data from 2005 and still rising). This study indicates that U.S. prisons only started testing for HIV/AIDS 10 or 11 years ago. You have men who did not know their status serving their prison sentence for 10 to 30 years not knowning their status and infecting other men as condoms, sex, and drug use are prohihited. Which person do you know is able to go without sex for 6 months? I don't know of any. Is the government being realistic about not issuing condoms in the prisons? Am I missing something here!

These men in prison engage in unprotected sex with other men. Some men were never homosexuals, however, becuase of the environment, they had to adapt to survive. When these men are let out into society, the next rate of infections starts with the African American female community. And I will stop right there. This is called the trickle down effect and has now cause this epidemic in the African American community.

The USA needs more help than Georgia

US Offers Massive Reconstruction Aid to Georgia
The U.S. committed USD1 billion in aid to help rehabilitate Georgia's economy and infrastructure following the country's recent armed conflict with Russia. The multi-year aid package "will begin now under President Bush and we believe strongly will endure in the next U.S. administration," said Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who launched the initiative. No military assistance has been considered yet, according to U.S. officials. ("U.S. plans to give Georgia USD1 billion in aid" - Thomson Reuters, Sept. 3, 2008)

I just read this mess from my daily Development News Wire. What is going on? Why does the US feel like they have to help every country in need. The US is committing USD$1 billion to rehabilitate Georgia's economy and infrastructure. What about rehabilitating and restructuring our own economy. We are in a recession! The feds might not contest to this but consumers, like myself, middle and working class feel the economy tightening. Between high gas prices fluctuation and food price increases, the credit crunch in both housing and credit cards, we, the US economy and its people need some serious help.

Here is where I think the billion dollars could be spent:
The US consumes 71% of oil each year which is supplied by other countries. We need to supply our own which entails drilling more and finding untapped within the US. Revamp the education system that will ensure people who cannot afford higher education can, no child left behind project, bring back the jobs we outsourced to India (just one of the many cheap ass countries that help save corporations some bucks), ensure that every person has health care for a low fee, eliminate homelessness and decrease the jobless market gap, and last but not frigging least, bring back the troops from Iraq (these young men are fighting for the wrong cause was lied to and still being lied to). Bringing back our troops will save billions. Who is with me?

Thanks all for now. Gotta work to get paid!

Soooooo

Sooooooo, you are probably wondering where the hell all this came from in one night. Well, since I am apart of many networking sites (facebook, tagged, myspace, hi-5, hoverspot...just to name a few), I just decided to gather all my thoughts, written poem, life notes, and the like and post them on my newly created blog. I am so excited that I finally signed up for this.

I wish I had a place to write my experiences and thoughts 10 years ago and not be judge (hopefully not - but don't really care either way) and just record myself, my life, for me, and few friends.

I have a lot to say but is getting tired. Anyway, have fun reading and feel free to post your comments. I might read them, save them, or delete them if I feel like it. :-)

Bye.

Poem: "Random"

A Random Poem...

Some say I've built a brick wall around my heart
I say it not a brick wall but a wall of iron
Who said love was suppose to hurt
Who said who you love was not suppose to love you back
Who came up with all this bullshit
Was this in the bible cause I missed that
Was it in some book written millions of years ago
I miss that too
It's not written anywhere
It's written in the book called Life, real LIFE
Random shit, you have no control over
Life is interesting yes
But loving someone that hurt you
Can hurt you to the soul
Makes you not want to see the sunlight
Makes you feel alone and cold to the world
I say, I need my armor of iron for protection
I don't know how long it will last
But it better hold up for now
Cause love does not live here right now at this very moment

Poem: "Crush"

Crush

I have a crush on someone
Who doesn’t even know I exist
I haven’t had a crush on anyone
Since I was 16 years old
And shit, I am in my 30’s with a crush, WTF
My crush walks around like he is
The King of the world
I kind of like his cocky attitude

He reminds me of snake, or maybe a chameleon
You know the one that changes colors to adapt to its environment
To protect it self from danger
I sense that my crush is very cautious, yet carefree

I think he has his priorities straight but sometimes I can’t tell
Sometimes I feel him looking at me
But then when I look around to look at him
He looks away with the quickness
I am not sure if he knows I, me, exists
Or is he ignoring me on purpose
Or is it that he is so used to women throwing themselves at him

I really don’t give a fuck
I am like whatever
It will just be a God-damn crush
If it was meant to be it will be
Yes, I am impatient
I give up

Poem: "Expectations"

Expectations

When you have expectations
You will always be disappointed
You can only have expectations of yourself
No one else
You cannot control what others will or will not do
Stop yourself from being disappointed
As only you can do such a thing
Take the time to find you
And learn to control every being of yourself.
