Alchemy

The latest book I have gotten into which I have heard about and even seen others reading has gone overlooked by me until now. The book is definitely interesting and I look forward to receiving the message to be received from the story. 

On the music side of things I love this song by "Alchemist" because life is quite a amazing journey with different strokes for different folks. Seeing a smile on someone's face definitely makes life more brighter. The magic of life is fufilling yor purpose while being able to be happy and enjoy oneself despite all the bulls#&t. Not only is Chemical Warfare going on, but spiritual as well and I love how this song came out before I moved up to the DC-Maryland-Virginia metropolitan area. Maybe life is all about finding our own treasure and making sure to leave some of the booty we found for others to enjoy and remember a solid legacy.

PI

PI does not only stand for Private investigator but also synonymous with the two books I have been into lately. As someone who is very deep into meditation and aware of the energy that people put out I thought these two books to be very revealing and interesting. The two books are Psychic Intelligence and Psychic Intuition. 

People so often look for happiness and acceptance from outside sources when all that matters is how you feel about yourself. Everyone can and has the right to make themselves happyand if for some reason they can not find that contentment than they are blocking out their true self or spirit. Following and listening to what you feel deep inside is more than common sense will be the cause of people not realizing what is weighing them down. These books were very insightful to what happiness is and how one can become their higher self.

The key to both of these books is intuition which is listening to what information the body is telling you or what you perceive to going on in the surroundings. Everyone's thoughts create the energy that they are giving off in the atmosphere, and Kendrick Lamar's song Bitch, Don't Kill my Vibe really testifies to being more aware of how other's may be feeling.

What does this have to do with skin well this intuition of mines helps with finding out what may be causing breakouts like diet and other factors on the body. Some things are not meant to be understood but they sure can be felt. 

Look to meet-up

What a wonderful Tuesday that past and I had the perfect look for a meet-up or going to a book signing. I had the chance to meet Alice Walker, the author of The Color Purple and other stories. I had quite a afternoon of waiting in line in hopes of hearing her read and than to get her to sign my wallet. I left happy with a photo of me and Alice Walker and her autograph.

For this signature look to stand out I used NARS satin lip in "Yu" and CoverGirl Queen collection in "jade".  I most definitely stood out more than I would have wanted because as I was in line people could see me taking pictures from inside Busboys and Poets on 14th and V St. NW. How appropriate that Eatonsville was right across the street inspired by another talented author, Zora Neale Hurston.

Now watch me "Yu" crank that soulja and ....

Mental Health Month

In honor of Mental Health month I just want to let you know that you can be happy and hopeful about your life.

I have completed reading Susan Nolen-Hoeksema, Ph. D book Women who think too Much: How to Break Free of Over-thinking and RECLAIM YOUR LIFE and browsed through another of her books exploring how Women who are depressed fall into addictions. What a privilege it is to recognize and understand how people think, especially women. All of the books below are a study of society and how the role of a women has allowed her to tolerate the torment of over-thinking in a nutshell.  Just a side-note: In Beyonce's Life is But a Dream I love how she describes that a lot of her songs are to empower women and a sort of "escape" from reality like "Run the World (girls)". Although we are living in a man's world, a woman does have a lot of power.

One of my favorite quotes from Bob Marley which was on a shirt I loved is, "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds!"

All of her books are definitely recommended and the best help comes from self because everyone possesses their own personal power. Being happy and well is what life is about and anything less is unacceptable.
