How to find the love you want!

Posted by Daphne Porter on February 3, 2009 at 4:27pm

This is the month of love. Yes it’s Valentines Day, but more importantly this is the month that was set aside to celebrate and honor Black History. During this month we hear and see lots of programming that chronicles the ups and downs of the black community, both past, present and future. But should we stop there? Should this be the only time that we really dig deeply into what’s ailing us or what we can do to uplift and better our community.Should this be the only time that we celebrate our accomplishments and the great inventors that are within our community? I believe we need to celebrate who we are on a daily basis. We should shout from the masses how proud we are to be who we are and where we have come from. We should teach our children, so they can teach their children and their children’s children how we come from and are a great, resilient group of people. We should look back and honor our ancestors and our elders who endured slavery, Jim Crow laws, lynchings, no voting rights, segregated water fountains, sitting in the back of the bus, segregated schools…the list goes on. They marched, went to jail, some were killed, but all have endured so that we could have a better day. We are now free to own businesses, eat and drink where we want, live where we want and yes we can vote, and have our vote count! Yes We Can! We are not where we should be, but we are definetly a lot better than we were.So how do we find the love we want? Look in the mirror, it starts with you; it starts with me. Let go of the poor self image that we sometimes hold onto. Let go of the negative view others may have towards us. Let go of the negative self talk we give ourselves. Let go of the fear and the word Can’t. Each of us have a unique purpose. We have been given an assignment to carry out. We have been blessed with talents and gifts. Let’s use them to uplift, inspire, encourage and empower ourselves as well as others.So where is that love? It’s within us. We are that love we’ve been looking for. Love your curves, so what they are a little bigger than last year. Love your full lips, love your curly hair. Enjoy and embrace your unique beauty you have inside and out. We can’t expect to receive love if we don’t give it; and we have to start with giving it to ourselves first. This February let’s walk in an abundance of love, let’s celebrate who we are and who we are evolving into. Let make new history. Let’s send ourselves roses and candy on Valentines Day. Let’s be the love we are searching for.“I have learned not to worry about love, but to honor its coming with all my heart”~Alice Walker (African-American writer and poet)Imagine Life...Be Empowered...Live on PURPOSE!www.MYESHE.webs.com

The benefits of Vitamin D

Posted by Daphne Porter on February 4, 2009 at 4:30am

Vitamin D is one of the only vitamins that is naturally produced by the body, however this only happens when we are exposed to sun for an adequate amount of sunlight. Generally about one hour a week should be enough. As we age, we tend to produce less vitamin D even with a certain amount of vitamin D.Vitamin D contributes to joint and bone health as it helps with the absorbtion of calcium. It can slow the affects of arthritis and lessen back pain. It has been known to prevent certain types of cancer such as breast cancer. People of color do not absorb the same levels of vitamin D as the rest of the population due to the high melanin content in the skin. (Melanin is what gives the dark color in the skin).One of the results is that people of color have a 500% increase in breast and cancer rates over the rest of the population and they are not being educated about this fact.Some sources of Vitamin D are:cod liver oil, salmon, mackerel, tuna fish, sardines, fish, egg (vitamin D is in egg yolk), beef liver.Soul Purpose's inclusion of vitamin D in its products fills this gap for our beloved customers. We are committed to the health and well-being of our customers and want them to feel great as well as smell great.Imagine Life...Be Empowered...Live on PURPOSE!

Me Time!

Posted by Daphne Porter on January 13, 2009 at 10:00pm

Sometimes I just don't feel cute. I'm feeling a little overweight, my hair may not be doing what I want it to do. I just have a case of the blahs! Do you ever feel that way? As women and as mothers, we just have those days sometimes. We're taking care of the kids, the husband, the house, the business, everything but oops! we foregot to take care of self. Forgetting to take that "Me Time" could lead to more stress, which could lead to irritability, insomnia, weight gain and a host of other medical problems. But there is hope. We can de-stress by beginning to lead and live a Self-Caring Lifestyle. We can and need to exercise daily, eat healthier (eat those fruits and vegetables that momma always told us to eat), pray, meditate, get our rest and learn how to relax. Learning how to take care of ourselves will ultimately lead to having more energy and vitality, we'll be calmer and have more peace, we'll listen better which will lead to better relationships, overall we'll live a healtier, balanced life.To implement some "Me Time" here are some suggestions:Daily affirmations. Every day look in the mirror, look yourself in the eyes and state your affirmations. (This may feel weird, but it will help)Write daily in your journal about all experiences in your life. Start a gratitude journal and write about all the things you are grateful for.Listen to your favorite music, dance like nobody's watchingRead, draw, sing, whatever you love to do, do it!Be still. Take time to just sit in silence and allow Spirit to speak to you.Take a Spa Break. Take a warm bath using your favorite natural products, light a natural soy candle in your favorite scent. Put on your favorite natural perfume scent on all those special spots, put on some soothing music and relax.Love yourself and just Be!Imaging Life.....Daphne, Your DIVA with a Soulful Purpose!www.eshe.weebly.com www.eshe.soulpurpose.net

What Now?

Posted by Inez Bracy on August 5, 2008 at 1:17am

Suddenly (or so it seems) you're no longer getting up and going to work each day! You've finally retired and wonder what to do now and wander from room to room or thing to thing. You're feeling a sense of helplessness and aloneness even though you're not always alone.This feeling of being cast aside seems to permeate everything you do. The long awaited joy in retirement seems elusive or non-existent. You're tired of this feeling and are ready to feel good again. You can you know.Can you remember when you bounced out of bed so full of joy you thought you would burst? You can do the same now. Getting out of bed may take a little longer. But as you roll out of bed embrace that joy. Allow that memory to flood your body with the feeling of joy. Stand and stretch bringing the joy all the way from your head to your toes! This is a great way to start your day.
