A Nlitened Thought! 05/02/08

Posted by Tamika LaShelle on May 2, 2008 at 8:11pm

Strong and wealthy!Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume thatit is beyond the powers of man- but if anything is within the powersand province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.[ Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ]Adapted from Creating Affluence by Deepak Chopra (New World Library,1993).Affluence of wealth means that one is easily able to fulfill one'sdesires, whatever they may be, whether they apply to the materialrealm, or to our emotional, psychological or spiritual needs, or tothe realm of relationship.A truly wealthy person's attention is never focused on money alone.Moreover, a wealthy person never has money concerns. You may havemillions of dollars in the bank, but if you think all the time aboutmoney, if you have concern about it, if you worry about it—aboutgetting more, about not having enough, about losing it—thenirrespective of the dollar amount you possess, you are poor.To have true wealth or affluence is to be totally carefree abouteverything in life, including money. True wealth consciousness is,therefore, consciousness of the source of all material reality. Thissource of all material reality is pure consciousness. It is pureawareness. It is the unified field. It is the field of allpossibilities. We cannot know this field just by thinking about itbecause, by definition, it is transcendental to thought. We can,however, have experiential knowledge of this field by transcending toit and knowing it intimately as our own nature.The best way to acquire knowledge of this field of pure being isthrough meditation.My Thoughts:The stronger your will the more apt you are to obtaining that whichyou desire most. Within you is the ability to achieve anything. Findstrength in your daily rituals/practices; meditation, breath work andphysical/spiritual exercise (Yoga, Tai Chi or Qigong even Bellydance). You will bethat which you practice daily. Money can be the paper presence of theego, desiring more of it will only make room for a higher desire ofit. Live within your means, attain enough to help you functionpositively and create the level of true wealth you desire in yourmind first. Money is no great healer however your mind, body, souland spirit are!Love is….TL

The Weekend Begins.................

Posted by DawnKA on May 2, 2008 at 6:30pm

This week flew by as all the weeks in the past have since I reached 30 years old which although it has been quite some time seems like just yesterday. It seems as though over the years the time just flies by....... This week I had two meetings set this week one at the Mayors Office to meet with one of the staff members to address the health initiatives and research projects that are geared toward reaching the residents of the community. The other meeting is to reach out to the medical staff members that are parishioners to work out a plan of getting members of the churches to participate in healthy choices and health promotional events. Both meetings went very well, we have to overcome some barriers which we are prepared to deal with other alternative methods.I have also found the courage to ask for support from others in helping to bring joy and comfort to those who are facing terminal illnesses, losing a loved one or those who are just giving their all to help a family member during this rough period of the end stage of life. When I first began giving gift baskets, I used my own monies and I can tell you how incredibly rewarding it is for me to make someone else enjoy a moment of joy during the roughest season of their lives. I really wished that I could give to everyone. Now I have expanded to children as they too need a great big pick me up -- especially having to face a terminal disease.Now here it is Friday the weekend is upon us yet again and I have a lot of work to do........... The Health & Wellness show airs tomorrow morning at 11 am. In addition, I am going to keep working to meet the needs of others through health, wellness and giving gifts to those who really need it most. As the saying goes, it is better to give than to receive - but then again the satisfaction in giving is priceless..............

LACE WIG APPLICATION Gone Bad!

Posted by Nikki G. on May 2, 2008 at 6:50am

CAN YOU TELL B. GOT ON A LACE WIG?

Hello Network of Black Business Women. I feel the need to update you all on what is going on in the hair industry. If you don't know about lace wigs, you will after you read this blog. Lace Wigs have been around since the 1980s. They have many names like... systems, units, toupee, prosthesis wigs, celebrity hair, and even cyber-hair. They first were on the market for cancer patients, range from $3000-$5000 dollars. Then the movie industry found out about them. One of the first celebrities that wore something similar in one of his movies was Clark Gable that played in "Gone with the Wind". See lace wigs are not just for women, they are for men also. Over the years the names and how the were attached have been changed.I know that you all think that Beyonce and Trya Banks started the trend; but that's okay. That was a marketing move (my opinion). Know that our celebrity icons secret has gotten out, the young and mature have to have it. The prices have gone down, they have become very assessable, many non-stylist are/trying selling them, and uncertified stylist are/trying put them on. There is just one big problem with the last part.I seem to get clients that have order lace wigs off the internet (the texture and size is not correct), ordered from a vendor that doesn't have a clue about hair (color, size and lace is a issue), or gone to a stylist that haven't been trained or trained properly (cost the client $100s of dollars and sometimes damage to the scalp/hair)TRUE STORY.I got a call from a new client, that found me on the local yahoo directory (thank God for local yahoo direct.) She wanted to come in to have her lace wig removed. She was so thankful that I was able to get her in right away. She expressed how bad her scalp was hurting and that she had puss on the front of her upper forehead (hairline). She stated that it was hurting so bad, she had been taking pain pills for the past couple of days. Once I examined how she was attached, I notice that the stylist put a very tight wig stocking cap under her lace wig. It was squeezing her head so tight. I had to release the lace wig from the back away from the wig stocking cap. Then cut the wig stocking. I thought once I cut the wig stocking she would be okay. WRONG! When I starting removing the front she jumped out of the chair; screaming as if someone was killing her. At this point, I was very upset with the stylist that applied her lace wig. I didn't want to hurt her anymore, so I stopped and she finally pulled the lace and wig stocking out of her scalp. You read it correct. The wig stocking cap had cut into her scalp so bad, blood was pouring out. We applied pressure, and I advised her to go to the clinic to get stitches. All she could say was I can't believe this. I'm speaking of a beautiful young professional woman. First of all how would she explain to the doctor what happen and secondly, how is she going to cover that up for work. No lace wig or any other wig for a while. She will have a permanent scar, all because the stylist was not trained and had too much pride to say I don't know how to do that service. Ladies this is a WARNING, for your vanity. Please make sure when making choices of buying and get your lace wig applied, the person is trained. If you are wondering if I'm trained, YES. Trained at the BEST hair replacement University in the US; by the BEST trainer.Untrained and Cheap is not always a good choice.

Affordable "green" body care

Posted by Christine on May 1, 2008 at 6:30pm

Going green has been in the news for quite some time. There are reusable bags for sale in many supermarkets and plastic bags from department stores offer ways to recycle said bag to keep from harming the environment. Bath and body care is going green also – if one takes a look at any shelf in the supermarket or the local discount department store, you will see various skin and body care products labeled “organic” or natural.In the general sense, being having “natural” on the label does not necessarily mean the product is good for your skin – it depends on what other additives are used. Remember, arsenic is natural! However, a body or skin care product created from natural ingredients is much better for your skin and well being than a product with an ingredient list full of unpronounceable words that is longer than your arm.Because I initially created a product for use by my 1 year old daughter, I took great care to use ingredients that were basically safe enough to ingest (excluding of course the fragrance). Neosoul.essentials’ products are 95%-100 % percent natural and do not contain parabens or any other preservatives. Our unfragranced products and those fragranced with essential oils are 100% natural.My purpose for creating neosoul.essentials was to provide those who want to ‘go green’ in bath and body care a healthful and budget conscious alternative to the high priced “natural” products. Everyone deserves to have an alternative to chemical-laden body care products. I use shea butter, cocoa butter, avocado oil, coconut oil, canola oil and virgin coconut oil in my products. As I stated before, our unfragranced products may not taste good, but are safe to ingest!If you have any questions on our products or our ingredients, please feel free to email me at Christine(at)neosoulessentials.com.
