Awake and AsleepI read an article in last month's Men's Journal about some coal miners that diedin a tragic accident. While trapped miles under the earth, with their oxygenrunning out and death coming quickly, the men decided to write some notes to thepeople they loved.One note said:"It wasn't bad. I just went to sleep."That is a gift...if you are dying.That was a kindness, a man letting his family know that he did not suffer. I wasoverwhelmed by the selflessness of that action. With only a few short breathsleft, that man did not focus on the pain he was in, but instead used his lastenergy to do everything he could to ease the pain of the people he loved.But if you are alive...if you still have years ahead of you, if you are stillabove ground, breathing and living, that note is note a gift.It is a curse.It is a note that I wrote to describe my own life for many, many years."It wasn't bad. I just went to sleep."Things weren't horrible, I just went to sleep. I stopped caring about anyone butme. I stopped giving and focused on taking. I let go of risk and settled into anice, safe, comfortable life."It wasn't bad. I just went to sleep."I am tired of living that way.Tired of writing that note.Tired of being those words.I don't know if you're like me and it's easy for you to fall asleep. Easy tofocus on the wrong things. Easy to miss the love and the life and the joy Godkeeps whispering in the corners of your day.Well, this year, I've got two words for you: Wake up.Wake up.Wake up.Wake up.That is my prayer for 2009. That I would not sleep. That I would not live a lifethat is really not all that alive. That I would remember Revelation 16:15,"blessed is he who stays awake."What kind of note will you write this year?Read more…

THERE WAS A TIME WHEN KEEPING UP WITH THE JONES WAS THE IN–THING . STOP IT NOW! WITH THE ECONOMY TREMENDOUSLY UNSTABLE, IT IS TIME TO PREPARE, LOOK OUT FOR FAMILY AND PASS DOWN A FINANCIAL LEGACY. INSTEAD OF HAVING THAT “I GOT MONEY TO BLOW ATTITUDE” - SAVE IT! STOP THROWING MONEY AWAY BY BUYING EXPENSIVE CLOTHES EVERY PAY CHECK THAT WILL NOT FIT IN 6 MONTHS OR DEEMED OUT OF STYLE BY THE HAVE’S. YOU MAY HAVE A LITTLE PIECE OF THE PIE. BUT AS A WHOLE WE ARE IN THE HAVE NOT CATEGORY. WATCH YOUR FAST FOOD SPENDING. EATING OUTSIDE YOUR HOME FOR BREAKFAST, LUNCH & DINNER FOR 5 DAYS A WEEK IS BREAKING YOUR POCKETS. LEFT OVERS TWICE A WEEK WILL SAVE YOU SOME MONEY. GO DIRECTLY TO THE BANK WITH THE ACCESS YOU WOULD USUALLY SPEND ON CLOTHING.

Hi, ladies! What with the New Year in full swing, we at Yazzie & Co. know that you’re ready for some fresh new wedding ideas. Perhaps 2009 is the year that you will be walking down the aisle and you’re refreshed and ready to start preparing for your big day. Thus, we have decided to kick off our first post of the year by presenting the hottest new wedding hairstyles of the year. That’s right; no matter whether your wedding’s set in a winter wonderland or taking place in a tropical paradise, there’s a fabulous hairstyle that is befitting of a beautiful bride. So, read on for some great wedding ‘do suggestions, courtesy of Yazzie & Co.
Not sure where to start? Well, let’s say you’re in the midst of planning your wonderful winter wedding and you have no idea how to exude radiance while braving the harsh elements. Well, why not keep it simple and classic with a half-up and half-down hairstyle? Not only is it easy create a pretty ponytail, but it is also effortless to maintain it despite the winter wind. Moreover, your hair is least likely to break off from the bad weather.
Maybe you just want to avoid winter altogether and have a sensational spring weather. The good news about that is that you can break out with a fresh new ‘do that will reflect the changing of the season. We think that the Grecian Goddess ‘do is definitely a look that reflect the relaxed aura that springtime brings. With just a simple braid wrapped around your head and secured with a pin, you can easily channel that Aphrodite vibe on your spring wedding day!
Then again, you may be more inclined to have a sultry summer wedding. While it’s the most popular wedding season of the year, summer also provides its share of frizzy hair days. If you’re worried about dealing with a less-than-fab ‘do, look no further than a chignon hairstyle. Simply sophisticated, it can be swept to the side while being secured by a beautiful orchid or hibiscus. You’ll be able to rock that Billie Holliday level of glamour while braving the heavy humidity.
Last but not least, we think that the Renaissance look would work best for Fall brides. With the temperatures cooling, you would want a ‘do that was just as crisp as the autumn air. No matter the texture of your hair, you can sweep it up and let your curls fall down in loose cascades. Short and sassy curls will spice up your bridal look, while long tendrils can frame your face to create that regal look. Add a jeweled headband for a finishing touch and you’ll certainly be the belle of your ball.In turn, we at Yazzie & Co. would love for you to share your hot wedding hairdos with us. Send your pics to us at yazzieblogger@yazzieco.com and we’ll definitely feature them in a future blog. If you have a sweet or funny story to share along with the pic, please feel free to do so and we’ll add it along as well. We’d love for you to be an integral part of our soulful, sophisticated, and sassy family and hope that you continue reading.Until Next Time,The Yazzie Blogger

Fallen Angel is the story of a man. He’s someone who walks among us everyday. On the outside, he's the picture of perfection, but on the inside there's a war going on. His name is Izrael, biblically, the Angel of Death. He just wants to be left alone as he struggles to deal with the demons of his past - his fears, his guilt, and his regrets. Everyone wants him – to be a part of his world whether willingly or by force. He fights daily to destroy the frightening thoughts that wreak havoc on his ability to find balance and peace of mind. He realizes that in order to survive - a part of him must die. His survival – his redemption depends on it. Join me as we take a journey with Izrael as he delivers his message with contempt and conviction.***Adult ContentPaperback: 320 pagesCover and Book Design: Borel GraphicsPrinted by: United Graphics, Inc.Language: EnglishGenre: Mystery, Crime, Psychological ThrillerISBN-10: 0-9802176-3-6ISBN-13: 978-0-9802176-3-6Purchase Price: $18.99To pre-order your copy, please visit my website at: http://dimartin01.books.officelive.com-Diane Martin (http://dimartin01.books.officelive.com)Never What it Seems, Autumn Leaves, & Fallen AngelComing soon, Never What it Seems II - A Mother's Love"There's always time for a good book."

Ladies, I admit I thought 'toys' were for young, single women. Until the day I met a mature woman in her late 40's.She was newly married and her husband was recently severely injured on his job and bed-ridden for weeks. She confided in me that she didn't want to go outside her marriage because she truly loves her husband and needed a solution. I asked if she would consider using a toy with her husband? She initially thought I was crazy but willing to give it a try.A few weeks later, I received a wonderful 'thank you' email from my client and her husband. He was concerned about losing his wife because she is attractive and healthy. The experience actually brought them closer together during this moment in their lives. He's now back at work -- all smiles, of course. She now referred me to all her friends!Ladies, if you or someone you know needs an 'out the box, creative' solution or need extra income, visit my websites: www.bootyparlorparties.com/dsm or www.just4mygirls.com.

When you wash your hair, does it seem really dry and brittle? Have you ever avoided washing your hair for weeks at a time, some of us for months, because you just knew it was going to take a few days for your hair to come back to life; to soften up or feel moisturized?Well, the reason for the excessive dryness is that washing the hair with certain shampoos strips it of all its moisture because of the "bad ingredients" the majority of shampoos contain. Further damage is actually being done to the hair if you "repeat" as the bottle suggests.Approximately 90% of all shampoos contain Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES), and Sodium Lauryl Sulphates (SLS), which can be found in common household detergents such as dishwashing liquids, hand soap, washing powder, and many others. These ingredients function is to create foaming action. I use to think that the more suds, the better the shampoo was working, when actually this is just a myth. SLS and SLES may lead to deficient hair property, corroded hair follicles and inhibited hair growth, contributing to hair loss.SLS and SLES are possibly two of the most dangerous ingredients in personal care products and according to American College of Toxicology. Both SLS and SLES can cause malformation in children's eyes. Other research has indicated SLS may be damaging to the immune system, especially within the skin.I know 90% is a huge number of shampoos that you must stay away from, but that still leave 10% and fortunately you only need one or two good ones. Any local health food store will have a wide variety of different shampoos you can use. Or, you can purchase some awesome, ultra moisturizing shampoo from me! www.fabulousblackwoman.comNow that you know the correct shampoos to use to benefit your hair's health, you no longer have an excuse to go more than a week without washing your hair. I know every week sounds like a lot to the women that are used to washing their hair on relaxer day only, but the benefits will far outweigh the small inconvenience. Water is our hair's best friend and many Black women who have realized this have started to wash their hair daily or every other day, resulting in healthier hair.Moisture is the number one component to growing long black hair and all moisture is derived from water. Not only does washing the hair cleanse the hair and scalp but the massaging motion will stimulate circulation in the scalp. Increase the benefits by adding a few drops of peppermint oil to your shampoo.Even after finding the perfect shampoo, it is a good idea to either use a clarifying shampoo which will cut through any buildup. An apple cider vinegar or a baking soda rinse can also clarify the scalp and can be done as regularly as every six to eight weeks and then you can return to your regular shampoo.

Greetings!When working with low or no marketing budgets, I find it highly effective to take full advantage of mini-media marketing. It goes hand in hand with my belief to market where the fish are plentiful and the fisherman scarce.Sometimes you can’t get around what things are. It is what it is! Marketing for the legal community using mini-media marketing carries the image of a check advance cash business where the bricks are painted neon yellow and red. So please understand, mini-media marketing may not be for all businesses, depends on your target audience and professional image you created for your business. My clients are just starting in their professional careers or launching their private practice. Most will become standard marketers after about a year. It is good to explore most forms of marketing to know what works best for you.Mini-media marketing is canvassing, writing personal letters, posting signs on bulletin boards, passing out or distributing flyers/circulars, on-hold marketing and marketing by phone. Standard marketers rarely or never use mini-media marketing and conventionally fish where the fisherman are plentiful and the fish are scarce. Mini-media marketing requires attention to detail and a rigid marketing schedule. Production costs are low, however management of your mini-media projects are time intensive. Marketing on a low budget and low production costs do have a price and that price is time.Start today, develop your mini-media marketing campaign. Write down exactly if you will distribute flyers, post signs, or community market. Now that you know which mini-media strategies you will use, design the collateral, flyers and signs according to your target audience. For your campaigns to be effective schedule all projects. Make a note on your project calendar who, what, where, when and why about your mini-media marketing event. Everyone should understand the purpose and intent of the event and it should be timely. This is a guerrilla marketing strategy and at least two strategies should be implemented daily. Make yourself visible! Repetition is the Mother of invention. In this case start building share of mind with your target audience.Our mini-media marketing project to promote our social network begins today. Follow our tight schedule on twitter.Always a Blessing to Share, Dream your World!

It is really important to have a healthy-looking skin because it sometimes serves as an outlet to what we really are. People would think that if you have a healthy skin, you take good care of yourself properly, but if you have a skin as rough as a tree, then people can misjudge us by our outer appearance. Our skin is the largest organ of our body. And since it is on the external, scars from pimples and other wounds would be very visible.Now, how would you feel if you have a blemish skin and somebody keeps on staring at you? Would you be proud of your skin? Would you have the courage to stare back to that person?Definitely the answer is no. But if you have the kind of skin that is soothing to the eye and wanted to be touched you will be proud to show how beautiful your skin is.Now, if you want to have a more beautiful skin, here are some tips that will help you with at 100 percent guarantees:1. Do not over due your skin with so many cosmetics. Different cosmetics, definitely contains different ingredients which are really not good for your skin. Stick with one line of products which are formulated to work together.2. Take a 30-minute exercise. This will increase your blood flow, which brings more nutrients to the skin.3. Eat healthy foods. What I mean with healthy are the fruits, vegetables and juices. Avoid too many fats and carbohydrates.4. Cleanse after make up. Use a mild non-soap cleanser to remove your make up.5. Pimple hands-free. Do not poke, prod, and pop your pimples. It might make your problem worst. It may cause scaring and spreading of infection can also be possible.6. Give yourself a break. Sleep for at least eight to nine hours.7. Drink a lot of water. Drink at least six to eight ounce glasses of water everyday.Now, if you are not content with the above guidelines and doubt if it will really work for you, you can also try the following skin care tips. This tip is suitable for people with sensitive skin and for busy working people.The simplest factor to beautiful skin is to keep your skin clean. Find a good cleanser that will respond well to your skin and stick with it. If possible avoid using soap as your cleanser. Splash yourself with lukewarm water. Do not use hot or cold water.The most important in making your skin glow is to gently exfoliate it. If you have an oily skin or combination, you will need to exfoliate four to five times a week after you cleanse. But if you have dry and sensitive skin, it is recommended that you exfoliate once or twice a week.Use a moisturizer. It attracts moisture and draws it into the skin.And lastly, apply sunscreen. The number one cause of wrinkles is sun damage. So, in order to avoid this, use a sunscreen on your early years. Use one for night time and another in the morning which has UV protection.The above guidelines and tips can be very helpful so please use it properly.Remember, once you take care, nourish and pampered your skin, it will react in gratitude and an instant you will collect the benefits it will give you.SheyaCreate Your Own Defintion of Beauty "Naturally"www.naturallynuturingbeauty.comRead more…
