There is a popular term used that says, “Let Go and Let Flow”. During my journey to prosperity, I learned many tough lessons, including the one that co-workers, bosses, friends and especially family will discourage you in different ways. I remember when I was younger and working for the state department. For a year I had a fantastic supervisor, who always encouraged and told me to focus more on my studies, and to not get comfortable working in my department. He was promoted and replaced. I continued to keep to myself, do my work, study on my breaks, etc. After six months passed, I was told by my new supervisor that she and my co-workers felt that I was not taking my job seriously, and if I did not change my attitude I would be fired. I prayed about it, and remembered what my old supervisor told me. I stayed for another month, until ironically, my old supervisor offered me another job in his new department. My point is, although I wanted to tell the supervisor what she could do with the job, I did not. That job was helping me to pay some of my mortgages. A couple of years ago, when we were sleeping on a mattress on the floor, a relative would always ask me each time we spoke, if we finally had a bed to sleep on . Now that our bed can pay for a new car, I have no regrets about sleeping on floor. Although I always explained to this person that we wanted our money to work for us, it did not register. I have shared these stories because it is not easy to change your mind set on things. Just because you change your way of thinking, it does not mean others will change theirs. When you are going against mainstream’s society’s and beliefs, you and thinking out side the box, and this upsets and scares a lot of people What we have to remember is that wealthy people and families(with old money) like the Rockefeller’s, Morgan’s, etc, are thinking outside the box. This subject is not illegal or new. The term old money means just that; they have had their money for generations. Their money is being recycled in antiques, gold, silver, etc.We tend to get caught up in other people’s hang ups, instead of staying positive about things, and continuing to do what we need to do to get to the next level. That is a part of life, but as long as we remember that our Creator loves, guides and protects us, that should be our faith. Faith is important.The weekly challenge for the week is to do something nice for the that person who is giving you a hard time. Give him or her a magazine or book on Antiques or silver. Share this blog. Invite him or her to the Metropolitan museum or a local museum that exhibits fine art and antiques. Or just say thank-you. When I was a senior in high school, I worked at a fast food restaurant. I thanked the manager for telling me that I just was not cut out for fast food and then firing me. My point is to reverse the negative remarks and replace them with positive remarks. You can change the discouragement into encouragement. What I have learned over the years, is some people that were discouraging me were afraid, and wanted to do what I was doing. When they finally stepped out on faith he or she was very happy.

I went after a job in a place where I believed I could make a difference providing a service to Black people, my people that I feel most connected to. The revolutionary side of me is passionate about affecting social change and making a difference. All fired up after finally completing my undergraduate degree I was idealistic and proudly anticipating working at a Historically Black College.My intent was to connect with African American parents and students to assist them in securing funding through Financial Aid effectively as someone who understood the anxiety they may have been experiencing. My belief is that I understood the challenge of feeling intimidated and overwhelmed but together we could come up with a plan that worked to the advantage of the student and parent and secured their admission, tuition, and housing requirements.The work proved to be more than challenging and even though I anticipated it to be difficult I expected to be trained well enough to meet the challenge. A very wise woman that had been in the industry for almost 30 years taught me as much as she could in between the demands of her own student load and time lines.The office operations were flat and loosely structured and the environment was highly charged by politics and big egos. When I needed help I would go to my co-workers and make every effort to get the right answer for the best outcome. In almost every instance, I received a different answer no matter who I went to. Seasoned individuals performed procedures the way it has always been done like before computers became the focus. It was effective in its time although time consuming. Fairly new professionals performed procedures in whatever way allowed it be done the fastest. Mistakes were made but time lines were met most of the time.Read moreOmitunde, Publisher of African American Family ConnectionAn online magazine about African American Family values and community.Visit AAFC for the latest issue each month and a copy of "The Ripple Effect".Read more…
There are several strategies to building a great portfolio. One of the best things you can do is to invest at least 25% of your assets in gold, silver, and diamonds (http://www.kitco.com/market/ ). This is done because you are investing in money. It is a safe and conservative investment for your portfolio. Unlike stocks and futures, it is also not just paper and it is a tangible item that you can keep in your possession. This money fortunately, appreciates in value as well.Ask yourself 2 questions before making a purchase, especially if you have a business. The first question is; "Is this a tax deductible purchase, or can I make a profit from it?". The second question is; Will this purchase appreciate in value?, "When buying cars it is best to purchase used cars preferably antiques. When dealing with time, these items should still appreciate in value. Never have a car mortgage! People argue that you can write off your car as a business expense, but why not write it off, and have it appreciate at the same time. An old Mercedes Benz, BMW, Rolls Royce, etc, are examples of antique cars that should be part of your portfolio. When making purchases for your office or business, decorate with antique furniture. Rather than having furniture that looks good but is worthless in your office, you can have gorgeous and very valuable office furniture in your home and workspace. The White House is the perfect example. The furniture, rugs, porcelain, and paintings in the White House are all the very best and highest style that this country has ever seen by the most famous craftsmen and women. Is this just coincidence? Absolutely not. These items were chosen for their beauty and their long term value. These are the principles you should mirror in terms of material possessions.The third rule of thumb is not to purchase real estate unless you have money in the bank to buy it outright. By this I mean to stay away from mortgages. They only exception to this rule is to go into contract directly with the owner(land contract) for no longer than 7 years(ideally loan should be 6 months to 1 year). Remember that I mentioned in an earlier topic that "Cash is king". People are very flexible when you can offer them a large amount of money upfront and might be willing to take off $5,000-$10,000 from his or her asking price.In summary, the average person's basic portfolio should consist of Precious metals, Antique Furniture, Rugs, Paintings, Porcelain, Rugs, and Real Estate. These are the items that people use in their everyday lives. It is not just the White House. It is the Senate Chamber, banks, investment firms, and most old money estates. As a general rule antiques and fine arts typically outperform the stock market on a yearly basis. You just have to make wise informed purchase. Do your research and find someone that is knowledgeable and honest in those areas. In the last year a famous music mogul with the initials D.G. sold two paintings he owned for over 250 million dollars.The challenge of the week is to look at your current portfolio if you have one and figure out if it is comparable to the one above buy asking yourself the questions above. For those that feel that they do not have a portfolio why not start one. Now is the perfect time or economy to do so. If you need addition help please contact me at antiquesandfinearts4everyone.synthasite.com. Todah(Thank-you) for reading this blog and have a blessed rest of the week.Shalom,Tamar

(Tehillim/Psalms 112:3): Wealth and riches are in his house and his righteousness is standing forever.I especially felt the need to create this blog since I always thought to myself that when I became successful I would make sure I could share what I l learned with as many people as I could. After reading many books; attending expensive lectures; searching the internet; joining several telemarketing groups; YHWH finally opened my eyes to something that was with me all along. Himself and his word. The scriptures is filled with so much guidance and direction not only on how we should live our spiritual lives and eat healthy but on how we should live our financial lives and become self sufficient. YHWH put my husband and sister in my life 5 years ago. And so my journey began bringing the little knowledge of Real Estate and an open mind . By this I mean that while I owned property I was not aware that the items within my home especially should be just as valuable or more valuable. Together my husband and sister have over 23 years experience in Antiques and Real Estate. We have decided to start this blog for two reasons. The first one being to share YHWH blessings and truths with others who are struggling with their finances and do not have to. The second one being to connect with those that are aware that YHWH wants us to have silver and gold, fine linens, and land until the coming of Messiah. (Debarim/Deuteronomy 28:12) YHWH opens to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand. And you shall lend to many nations, but you do not borrow. YHWH wants us to be independent of and not dependent on mainstream society. As long as we follow the Torah we don't have to want for anything and what we need shall be provided for us. The buildings where we congregate should be ours meaning we should not be paying rent. We should grow our own fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes and share them with each other. We should have our own wells and windmills for water and electricity. YHWH calls his "Children of Israel" set-apart for a reason.We practice what we preach by owning and selling antiques, silver, and land. We are located in West Virginia and welcome visitors. You may also visit us at our website antiquesandfinearts4everyone.synthasite.com or contact us at antiquesandfineart4everyone@yahoo.com. We will also post different events that we will be apart of. Part of our ministry is speaking to different churches and congregations on the benefits and obligations we have to our children, in sustaining our cultural heritage, and investing all our talents wisely. We welcome your feedback questions and concerns.Shalom,Tamar

For a very brief period of my life I use to surround myself with millionaires or people who thought they were millionaires. One thing I noticed in that journey was that they were not healthy at all. I remember being told that an associate could not meet with us because he was taken to the hospital after having a heart attack. Although this was a very wealthy man it did not stop him from getting sick. I don't understand why things like steak, lobster, etc are associated with having money. You eat enough of these foods and you might not live long enough to enjoy your riches. On the other hand you may live a long life coupled with sickness. We hear of these billionaires dying from very poor health. While their money is still here they are gone. There are so many wonderful foods full of nutrients that actually enhance our bodies rather than to harm them. The scriptures clearly tells us that we should treat our bodies like temples. We were provided with so many fruits and vegetables, legumes, and nuts that is not a necessity to eat meat. And if you still want to eat meat the scriptures points out that you should only eat meat that is clean. Being a vegan or vegetarian is a blessing and not a burden.Now the saying health is wealth goes both ways. There are people who are very healthy and not wealthy or comfortable. They eat and exercise properly and do whatever is necessary to keep their bodies at optimum level. For example, I had a roommate who was 70 years old but didn't look a day past 35. She was a natural doctor and fantastic vegan chef. These were only a couple of her long list of talents. She was also on public assistance and was content on being there for the rest of her life. She is always in my prayers and I pray that she successful today. Ironically I aspired to be a natural doctor and wanted to study under her but all of that changed after we started living together. While I wanted to budget and save on what we could, she wanted to spend money that was not there. While she was a brilliant woman in many areas she had not mastered the financial area.So I mentioned both points to say that there should be a balance between health and wealth. You can do both. Again we must remember our children. The woman I mentioned earlier has children who feel that they have to take care of her. That is not how it should be. It is our responsibility to be positive examples for our children. If a little girl or boy is use to seeing his or her parents buying or selling silver,gold, or property; growing their own crops;sharing with and helping others then they will do the same when they are adults. On the other hand if that same little girl or boy sees his or her parents buying and "renting" unnecessary items, unfortunately he or she will go down the same path of making conscious decisions that leads to generations of poverty. "The sins of the father" is literal not figurative.Here's another challenge. If you are wealthy or comfortable but still eat meat try omitting meat for the rest of the week or if that is too much to ask try 1 day. If you are healthy but not wealthy or comfortable try omitting one thing from your routine that will allow you extra money for a day or the rest of the week. For example you can buy food on sale; skip a weekly massage;walk or ride your bike instead of driving a car. If you do take challenge and find it rewarding please share with us in the comments section of this blog. Todah(Thank-you)for reading this blog. Have a very blessed healthy and wealthy rest of the week.Shalom,Tamar

Today's big question is "Should Our Children be born with Silver spoons in there mouths?" The answer is "Absolutely". Gold or Platinum is even better. As mentioned in our first blog it is the obligation (as parents and guardians) we have in sustaining our cultural heritage, and investing all our talents wisely. Scriptures tells us throughout that we are to be prosperous an wealthy in silver, gold, and land. We must ask ourselves especially for our children's sake "will this appreciate in the future". The very first item that our son received after he was born was a sterling silver rattle and spoon. Today at age three his favorite word for when he sees at toy is "foolishness". On the other hand, if you give him a piece of silver or gold he will gladly take it and play with it. My point is this is what he knows and will continue to know. The seed has been planted. Meaning that when he is old enough to do so, he will share knowledge of wealth and prosperity through scriptures. Yes knowledge is very powerful. There are other items that have great value like old cars, trains, trucks, etc.It is tradition for people to give money only instead of toasters, blenders, silverware, etc at Jewish weddings. The idea is that Jewish young adults get an opportunity to start their lives without unnecessary financial burden as long as they take the money and invest it wisely in gold, silver, land, etc. It is also the norm to pass property and businesses to children when they become young adults.Shalom,Tamar

If you're a creative woman entrepreneur then chances are good you've labeled yourself as someone who just can't seem to get, or stay, organized. Popping up with new ideas for your business or about how to help people? Easy! Figuring out a filing system or how to get those piles of paper up off your floor? Ugh...well, that's a different story now, isn't it?!What organized people don't understand about creative souls is that the thought of being organized seems to be in conflict with our creative spirit.Accurate or not, creative types feel that if everything is neat and tidy then their creativity will be contained as well.Well, I'm about to bust that myth because I am a both highly creative AND organized woman business owner. In fact, it's when my papers, email and office are the most organized that I am the most creative.So how do I keep both ideals—creativity and order—in harmony? The answers are easier than you might think.Clickk Here To Get Organization TipsRead more…
