Everybody has a secret! What’s yours?
Tell a modern day woman to “submit” to her husband and you might as well start walking towards the planks because Davie Jone’s Locker is where her words will send you; it is almost a form of blasphemy – that word. It has also been unforgivenly assigned the meaning of “obey,” hence, its removal from contemporary wedding vows and in marriages. No one, it seems, wants to be told what to do.
I am currently teaching a women’s literature course and one of the texts I’ve elected to have us read is the “Book of Ruth.” Raised in a pentecostal church, I was always taught to believe that women were to “submit” to their husbands because the Bible said so: women were inferior to men. But I’ve come to the conclusion after analyzing this text and other works by women – as well as life experiences – that the word “submission” has been taken out of context.
Submission means understanding and accepting one’s value and place within the context of a relationship to bring forth a desired outcome or goal of said relationship. When Ruth lay at the feet of Boaz, at the urging of Naomi, it was not because she was being taught to be inferior to Boaz. Naomi understood, as did Ruth later on, that in order to protect and bring forth the future, she had to “submit” herself in order for it – the future and its generations – to come to pass. It was wisdom that made Ruth and Naomi “submit,” not inferiority. This is where modern day teachings of this word have fallen short.
Women are not inferior to men or men inferior to women; but rather, in order for a relationship to reach its full zenith and to be productive, the couple must come to understand and acknowledge that each has a value and place within the context of the relationship, and that no one is more valuable than the other. Scripture says that man is the head of the home, but the woman is the neck. Neither can operate fully and functionally without the other.
I call for a closer look at the word “submission.” It has been assigned a negative meaning because it has been taken out of context and made an instrument of the fight for power between the sexes, hence, the severe impact on modern day marriages. When Boaz awoke to find Ruth at his feet, he did not gloat or proceed to enforce domination over her. Rather, he said to her that she was a “virtuous woman,” and restored to Ruth what was rightfully hers: her home. And so begins not only one of the most famous love stories ever, but the opening of the door of the future which would bring forth David.
We must learn to submit to the will of the force which embraces and binds our relationships: to obey the spoken and unspoken rules of engagement in a true and fruitful relationship. Arguing and fighting for control and domination does not bode well a bright future nor does it allow room for wisdom.

While I sleep I cannot for the life of me keep a head scarf on. Also I don't like to sleep in a head scarf. I have found that sleeping on a satin pillow case just makes for a more pleasant night's sleep. Also my significant other does not like the head scarf either.
So. What do you do while you sleep? Head scarf or satin pillow case?

I’ve been asked before why I didn’t have ads on my blog and my answer was always that I do this for the fun of it and it my portfolio site. Since then the focus of this blog has changed. Deciding if I should monetize my blog as a way to bring in some additional income has been weighting heavy on my mind for quite some time.
“Multiple streams of income are better than one!”
I looked into Google Adsense and Buysellads.com and got denied (*in my best Suze Orman voice*) for both. Don’t know why I got denied for the BuySellAds but as far as Google Adsense I apparently had signed up long ago (probably as an school assignment during one my web class) and since I no longer have access to the email or domain name I couldn’t gain access to the acct and Google was of no help.
About three months ago I decided to give it another try. This time around I started experimenting with Affiliate Marketing. Affiliate Marketing is when I make a commission by selling someone else’s products/services. From my research I know that there is no over night success when it comes to Affiliate Marketing. Plus I don’t want to promote just any old thing just to make a buck.

Youtube, Dailymotion and metacafe are a few sites that experienced a wide expansion for the few last years. If you are a website owner, and even an offline business owner, then you can do the same thing to expand your business !
Everyone that is involved in online business would tell you to use the power of video marketing for businesses. Seriously, the few video sharing sites I quoted above are living proofs that video marketing is the next BIG thing that is currently occurring on the internet. But a hosted video platform, such as My Video Talk provides businesses the opportunity to brand their hosted platform with custom colors, logos and text which will allow their marketing message to remain consistent with their website
So, how exactly can video marketing bring benefits for your business, and eventually cause your business to grow without any limit ?
1. Build your brand
Every successful web entrepreneur knows that it is all about building trust and a strong relationship with your customer to have a steady and solid business that will bring you long-term and passive profits!
Well, video marketing can easily help you in achieving this. The problem with internet is that anyone can set up a website and write about anything, even if they don't have a big knowledge of the subject.
That is why most people don't really trust the internet and hold their barriers against you ! For example, if you have a dating website, you could record yourself while sharing some tips and tricks about attracting more mates, etc.
The viewer who has been pleased with the content you delivered to him/her will not only trust you and your website, but using My Video Talk's hosted video platform, your website visitor will have a visual image of your products or services me when visiting your website.
Later, this viewer will remember your website name, and see you as a reliable source of information!
From a complete stranger, that viewer became your loyal customer, thanks to a few minutes long video.
2. Entertain them!
Do you remember what we talked about just a few moments before? People look for entertainment on the internet! They are yelling at you, begging you to add some enjoyment in their lives.
The easiest way to entertain someone on the internet is without doubt video marketing!
Think about that : most people think that it is boring to read pages and pages of sales pitches and promises of a miracle. They prefer to watch a product video instead of reading because watching is something is effortless.My Video Broadcaster Channel provides businesses with a video page that features your company's products or services without competitor videos displaying after your video has ended. It also provides the business with the ability to install a capture point that can be populated via a web contact form.
Of course, I'm not saying that no one reads sales pages, but they are more open to grant you a few minutes of their precious time if you promise them not to be boring.
Any business owner that wasn't taking advantage of the effectiveness of videos will see a tremendous growth in their conversion rates !
3. Get their attention !
The average web surfer never stays on a webpage more than 3 to 4 seconds if he/she judges that it is not what they were looking for.
And so, they leave empty-handed and without making you earn a cent...
Using video marketing can easily solve that! You can start with a branded video email to connect with your customer and provide a call to action within the video. Now, a lot of video design software are available in the market. You can create astonishing videos that will not only make them want to hear what you say, but also follow your recommendations!
The benefits of video marketing for businesses are unlimited ! And it is happening now !
Implement this type of marketing today. Visit Video Marketing for Your Business and get your FREE Ebook
It's true! B Exce
llent also has a sub business called B Suite Business Services (cute name, huh?) to support your business needs. If you are in need of the best Virtual Assistant on this side of heaven, then you need to give me a call. I can do any of the following:
Desktop Publishing: Brochures, Business Cards, Catalogs, Letterhead, Postcards, Flyers, Thank You Cards, Power Point Presentations, Budget Creation, Fundraising Sheets, and much, much more! Just ask!
Internet Research: Search the internet for information, contact, data, price comparisons, reviews on items, etc. A concise easy to read report of my findings will be supplied.
Word Processing: Typing, editing, formatting of business correspondences, proofread and wordsmith documents for that professional edge, professional letter creation, reports, proposals, resumes.
General Administrative Needs: Appointment scheduling and reminders, make phone calls, scanning documents, faxing, create mailing lists, etc.
