Every morning when I awake, I look up at my ceiling and I give thanks. I then start to name off all the things in my life I am thankful for, my home, my children, my friends, my health, and the list just goes on. By the time that I touch the floor, my mood is elevated and I realize that my life is wonderful just as it is now. There is an old saying that if you go into a room full of people and you lay your problems down and compare then to the problems of others you will pick yours back and leave with them.
When you give thanks for the things that you have in your life right now, you open the way for God to give you more.I have even began to write down 5 things a night that I am thankful for that happen to me that day, so I go to sleep feeling thankful. Open your mouth, give praise and change your life!

Embracing My Fullness
It seems as if I always have a moment in yoga. I guess because I am in such a state of peace that I can clearly hear God speaking to me. I was looking around (which you are not suppose to do) and I saw people of all sizes around me into there practice, some of the moves are still a little hard for me but I will not give up, I am a solider. As I once again saw myself in mirror in kneeling warrior,I realized that I love every single curve of my body, my long beautiful legs, my size 12 feet, my arms, my big full breast,my hips everything. I am created in the image and likeness of a perfect God and my body is a temple no matter what size it is.....
Love yourself right now, not for what it will be but as it is now. As you love your body it will love you back.
Chow for now!

Love Affirmations
- By Jeff Staniforth
Love is that ethereal experience that makes us feel completely alive. Where every sense is heightened, every emotion is magnified, our everyday reality is transcended, and life seems worthwhile. Love is the ultimate nourishment of the soul.
It is said that the entire array of human needs is rooted in our need for love. Our yearning for fame, fortune and material things all boil down to our need to be acknowledged, respected, admired - and above all, loved.
No truer words have been said than those that George Sand wrote: "There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved."
The good news is, you can develop the skill to live a full and joyful life, enhanced by love -- and experience all the profound manifestations that love brings. Employing positive, loving affirmations will help you develop that skill.
Following are some loving affirmations you can use to attract, embody, give, receive and reap the rewards of love. As I've mentioned in the previous issue of this newsletter, choose the affirmations that feel appropriate to you -- those that resonate with you, or strike an emotional chord.
It is important that the words feel comfortable to you and are in line with who you are. Feel free to create one for your specific need by substituting other words that have special meaning to you:
* I am a radiant being filled with light and love.
* I love and accept myself exactly as I am.
* I now express love to all those I meet.
* I am a radiating center of divine love.
* Divine love is working through me now.
* I bathe in the unconditional love of my Creator
* Love radiates from me at all times.
* I love myself completely.
* Love comes to me easily and effortlessly.
* I give and receive love easily and joyfully.
* Others love me easily and joyfully.
* I now feel loved and appreciated by my parents, my friends.
* I express love freely
* As I give love, I am instantly supplied with more.
* I radiate love to all persons and places and things.
* People are just waiting to love me, and I allow them.
* I breathe in universal love.
* I attract loving, beautiful people into my life.
* I always deserve love.
* I am attracting loving relationships into my life.
* I project love to everyone I meet.
* I love and approve of myself.
The last affirmation in the above list, "I love and approve of myself," is one that Louise Hay (healer, minister, and author of "Heal Your Body" and many other life-transforming books) recommends.
TIP: There is a little-known technique for taking the power of affirmations to the highest level -- so that manifesting your desires becomes *automatic* and easy.
It is by combining affirmations with 7 of the most powerful manifestation technologies - visualization, alpha sound technology, subliminal technology, sentence completion, assignment writing/goal setting and whole brain wave synchronization.
Sounds daunting - but you can easily do this by using a first-of- its-kind software program that seamlessly integrates affirmations with the 7 powerful technologies to create a full "everything you need to succeed" approach to producing the results you want at unprecedented speed. It's really easy - if you can turn on your computer, you can use Sculptor. Go here to take it for a test drive.

I am having a moment
Workout, meetings, phone calls, lunch, busy, busy , busy.Today I haven't really even had time to breathe however my 13 year itch has had time to creep in. How do you stop the memories of someone that you have loved as long as you can remember?
Sometimes there's pain, sometimes there's laughter, but I truly miss him. I have so many wonderful things in my life,good family, good friends, I own a wonderful business but my love life is in the pitts..... Can we not be successful and have love? Do we compromise ourselves because we get so busy that we over compensate? What is it, where is the balance?
Why do I always seem to drift back to the memories of someone that I allowed to hurt me so badly? Because it's comfortable? I pray for guidance Lord.
Chow for now....

Date Night Part 1
Every Saturday night I go out on a date with someone I have met at a function, or online because as you very well may know I am in search of my husband, my life partner. Well in doing this I have a few rules that I follow we must meet in a very public place, if there is no connection I don't waste their time or mine and if anything about SEX comes up on the first date I am done.
This Saturday was different... I had a date with James. James & I have been conversing for 2 weeks we met via Eharmony which I think is one of the more serious online dating web sites. We agreed to me at a nice sushi bar on the South Side, he was nice enough on the phone but as you may know blind dates are always a bit scary. James was there first and of course I was fashionable late. We both agreed to dress causal so I wore some nice fitting jeans and a hugging sleeveless back shirt & some 3 inch Nine West sandals( since he was suppose to be 6"5 I figured he could handle that)and I pulled my hair back because it was hot as heck and not style is good in this humidity! James was sitting at the bar, I knew who he was because he looked just like the pictures he posted, I walked over and he stood up and said" Hi Fran" I have to tell you that my mouth hit the floor, this man was every bit of 6"5, beautiful mocha skin, wonderful eyes and a beautiful smile( all the teeth where present... YEAH) and the night began...

Fat Girl Vs Phat Girl
This has been on my mind for quite sometime and I had a chance to revisit it last night as I was looking at pictures with my nephew I said" Why didn't someone tell me how fat I was?" Not that I didn't know but I was in that state of denial that we all visit when we think that we are so hot, but we are a hot unhealthily mess. I couldn't walk up 10 stairs without stopping and don't mention running.
About 5 years ago, my blood pressure was through the roof, I was tired, sad and thought I was the bomb. Now know that I was still in the flyest clothes and at that time I needed that to make me feel better about me. But no one took the time to tell me that I was unhealthy and that I need to take better care of myself. But after spending sometime with God and in prayer I now acknowledge that my body is a temple. That even if I will never be a size 10 I can still be in good health. By no means am I alittle girl but I am now a fit girl, my blood pressure is normal,I have tons of energy and I exercise everyday.
So now when I get dressed and look at myself in the mirror I know am a Phat Girl.
