Love Her Heart
THE BUZZ: On Sunday, March 6, 2011, I participated in the taping of a Live It Up! TV segment at the gorgeous Brian Farrell art studio in Chelsea. I led Love Her Heart Founder Ta’Nia Doe in stress management techniques and talked about the relationship between heart disease and emotional stress. After losing her father…
The Power of… QUESTIONS
QUESTIONS. How curious are you? Do you take things at face value? Do you ever avoid asking questions because you think you’ll sound naive? Are you willing to ask the tough and unpopular questions? If you’ve spent time around a young child then at some point you’ve probably experienced a seemingly endless stream of questions, such as “Why is the sky blue?”, “Why does a dog have a tail?”, “What makes the grass grow?”, “Where do babies come from?”
The Power of… YES!
YES. How many times have you said “no” to something you really wanted to do? Does indecision or fear hold you back? What could you experience if you simply said “yes”? An old boyfriend used to accuse me of “thinking too much.”
The Power of… JOY
JOY. What makes your spirit smile? Are you experiencing at least one instance of pure joy every day? Do you regularly share acts of kindness? It’s been said that pleasure is in the body, happiness is in the mind, and joy is in the heart. Both pleasure and happiness are fleeting. Joy, on the other hand, is a fruit of the Spirit – a deep-in-the-soul feeling.
Banana-Almond Cake
PWR FOODS: This is one of my favorite desserts. It’s gluten-free and packed with protein and potassium. It’s rich but with minimum guilt – sweetened with agave nectar versus white sugar.
A New Way Forward
THE BUZZ: On December 3rd through 5th, 2010, I participated in A New Way Forward (ANWF) Inaugural Event in Oakland and Santa Cruz, CA. ANWF’s primary objective is to prepare and recruit legions of committed mentors to support African-American youth. It is an initiative of the National CARES Mentoring Movement, founded by Susan L. Taylor – Editor-in-Chief Emeritus, Essence Magazine.
The Power of… NO!
NO. Have you ever agreed to do something you really didn’t want or have time to do? Have you ever said “No” to something that seemed like an opportunity to other people, but just didn’t “feel” right for you? How do you respond when you are told “No”? There’s a funny thing about this simple two-letter word. It is a word we’ve all used and we’ve all heard before. When it’s said to you, you may not like it very much; when you say it, it can be quite liberating. Sometimes the word is open for interpretation; other times, it is absolute. For example, when making a sales call, “No” may very well mean, “Not right now.” However, when asking for a romantic date, “No” most likely means “NO!”
Power of… CONSCIOUSNESS
CONSCIOUSNESS. What is your mental atmosphere? Are your internal dreams reflected in your external reality? Do you wonder why some people always seem to attract good and others are a magnet for misfortune? The difference is probably their mental atmosphere. If your mind is consistently focused on abundance then you’re going to see the opportunities around you.
WIE Symposium 2010
THE BUZZ: What do you get when you combine Sarah Brown (wife of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown), Arianna Huffington (media maven) and Donna Karan (famed fashion designer)? An incredible gathering of the who’s who of powerful women – otherwise, known as The First Annual WIE Symposium – Women: Inspiration & Enterprise! It was quite…
