God's Love (1st person; God speaking)

When I think of you I smile, just want your attention for a whileAs I share with you my heart, so that you may do your partAnd succeed in all I've called you to do.I want you to know that I'm depending on you,For you were created in my image.Yes, when you see you, you see me.Now let me share with you my character, and my hope for our family.I long for creation to love each other,Love your fathers and your mothersLoving your neighbors as yourselves,As with your sisters and your brothersAdopt the Spirit of Love, you seeOf faith, of hope and tenacityAnd then you will walk like me.With an ability to know and a capacity to showWhat it means to love another deeply.You must learn to give, for you will never beat me givingAnd help others in need in this life that you are living.Respect each others minds, be patient and kindAnd live in peace with others not quite like youFor in this, you do what's been commanded of you.You see, my thoughts are for the lostI want to tap into their heartsYou are my children, my heirs; I call you friendI am your Father and I'm here until the end.Forever teaching, leading and guiding you.Directing each step along the wayAnd with all this love that I am faithfully providingIt is my belief that you will never stray.So now, here's my planI need you to extend your hands and lovingly lead others to ChristAnd as our family is enlargedI can give others the charge, for I would that you all be freeAnd in Christ, live this life in Victory.Love was the commandment you were left withAnd my dear ones Love is truly the keyFor love for yourselves and of othersIs how you are connected to me.I loved you first and I love you bestBut now I put you to the test.To walk in this newness of life.Walk holy and righteous, free from sinIn peace and joy, for my Spirit lives with.You've a direct connection to me and when you seek me sincerely, you'll seeThat in love I have covered you, now you can cover others tooYou can live abundantly in this life,Live in humility, not in strifeFor I have loved you all the same and I call each of you by nameYou are the fruit of my lips, my offspring and true obedience, I expect you to bring.For to look like me IS to do what I doAnd to love everyone is what I'm calling you to.As you imitate me, this world is able to seeThat Love is my powerful gift,For truly to love is DIVINEAnd when given in Truth, it'll last a lifetime.So, in closing I'll just say,"Stay in the WORD and always prayFor love is closer to you than it may seem;It's in your hearts and in your minds, it's in your dreamsAnd in case you haven't known, I hope this time with me has shownThat the heritage of Christ still lives onFor Calvary is not where it ends.Quite the contrary, it's where it beginsYou've a direct command from HIM to love one another until the end.When HE comes back in all of HIS glory, that event shall mark the end of this story,For eternally with Him, You shall beFor indeed, it is YOU who completes our family tree."Oh, how wondrous is our Family AboveAnd it all began with GOD and HIS infinite LOVE.Copyright 2006, Debra Poole Declouet

Recovering From A Internet Scam!

It has been a while since I was last on BBWO and that's about to change because it's high time I get more involved with you beautiful black women in business. Anyway like the title says, yes I'm recovering from a horrible scam. Two weeks ago I was approached by a production company who I thought was the real deal. We made plans for them to help me produce a pilot for my new cooking show as a companion to my new cookbook coming out in Sept. Well needless to say after researching them a bit further a few of my fellow networking buddies uncovered that they were a scam and I should stay clear of them.Now with all that said they are trying to put a lien on me which I'm still trying to figure out how they could do that and what type of lien? I'm having to consult and lawyer which I should have before all this madness, but I somehow lost the ball in that area. If anything I'm looking at this as a very well learned lesson in business that I should have had my eyes opened to. I've heard stories of people falling victim and yet I fall flat on my face as well.The best advice I could share with you is please please do your research before signing anything. And as expensive retaining a lawyer may be it's completely necessary for your business. I'm going to start posting updates on my progress so many of you who what to know will learn from my mistakes and triumphs.Peace, Love & Sweet Treats!Latrice FowlerAuthorRaising Chefs...not just good cooks!www.raisingchefs.comwww.goingproathome.comwww.latricefowler.com

I Am..."A Reflection of YOU"!

Sister…Don’t hate me because I AM beautiful;For I AM truly a reflection of youThe same beauty you see when you gaze upon me,Permeates within you, too.Don’t despise me because I AM intelligent.For Infinite Wisdom is yours too, to receive.All you’ve to do is ask Our Father in faith,And in your heart you must truly believe,Your mind HAS the capacity to conceive.Don’t revile me because I have style;Flair and expression, all my own:From my clothing and my hair, to the make-up I wear and even my poetic tone.For from my appearance, to my height and the Words I recite;To the depth in which the poetry flows ~I stand willing to glorify God in it all;With every gift that He’s blessed me to receive.So Sister…Don’t condemn me for all that I Am;Neither, loathe me for all that I do.For this Life I live as an example of GodAnd His Favor that is available to you.So, walk in your gifts and your talentsThose abilities given uniquely to you.For to Glorify God and His Kingdom, we must do what He’s chosen us to.‘Cause, we are truly one Father’s children,Our resemblances should ALL be of HIM.And the glow that you see when you look upon meIs HIS goodness that lights me within.Yes, I shine as a mirror, reflecting His grace;God is Alive in me and His glory I embraceAnd Sister…That is why I Am a reflection of you,I can CLEARLY see God Alive in you, too.Poet: Debra DP DeclouetWritten for Women of Destiny “P-MTP” ™ © June 2008

Work and Web Women

A few months ago I decided to show you all the woman behind BBWO, so I posted my photo. Today, I'd like to take it to the next level by giving you the voice of BBWO through my new sister site 'Work and Web Women (www.workandwebwomen.com).' Work and Web Women is my new podcast, but I like to think of it as a podClass series because I created it to teach other online entrepreneurs how to improve their websites, find multiple streams of income online, work from home and do other things of that nature. Being more of a typer than a talker, I initially intended to use this site primarily as an information library for women entrepreneurs, with eBooks and informational posts like those on the SistaSense blog. But after speaking with other women offline, and learning more about the wonderful world of podcasts, blog radio shows, and such... I decided it was time to get with the times and the latest technology by adding audio broadcasts to the growing listing of features on BBWO. So, Every week I will talk about hot topics of interest to myself and my fellow online entrepreneurs. In addition to the featured series of PodClasses, Work and Web Women will include interviews and discussions with other women in business, updates and new features created for the Black Business Women Network, online resources for net entrepreneurs, original business eBooks by LHenry, howto posts and more. Visit Work and Web Women.com today, and let me know what you think. Work and Web Women Created to help you learn how to better work the web. www.workandwebwomen.com

Ralph Waldo Emerson Quote

"If you think you can, you willIf you think you can't, you won'tEither way - You're right."Ralph Waldo EmersonI was working with some 6th graders this week and we had a discussion about this quote. By George, I think they got it! I live for the "A-ha! moments" in my classrooms.The bottom line - if you're right, you're right and if you're wrong, you're right, too. I love it!

Today I received my order from Aseyori African Market. When I first visited the site I had to really take my time and poke around simply because there is such a huge selection of various items to choose from! So for my first time order I decided to buy a few beaded bangle braclets. Perfect for summer AND evening ! Now you ladies don't know me but I'm the type of shopper that says "Why buy 1? " "Let me buy a few to stack them up and really stand out!" So I browsed the color selction and choose two each of the bracelets you see above.Ladies let me tell you,these are absolutely beautiful! They're also VERY well crafted. No loosey-goosey beading that if you're out your praying" Please don't let all these beads fall off out here in public!". (Don't play, I know I'm not the only one to ever buy something cheap and regret it later!)So like I've said before in other reviews,if you're on the fence,give this company a try. I think you'll be pleased.My next purchase will a few bags that CeeCee reviewed previously.Candace

Passport Card vs. Passport Book - Which is best?

Passport Card vs. Passport Book , which is best for you?As summer vacation time approaches, it’s the time that applications for passports begin to pick up for those family vacation plans. This time last year was a huge headache for anyone traveling outside of the country and did not have a passport. This year travelers are faced with a new dilemma. Passport Books vs. the Passport Card. Travel Agents are in the position of explaining what it all means to our clients.The passport card is a wallet side document that will be used to expedite document processing from the U.S. borders between Canada and Mexico, and for the Carribean and Bermuda.This card will have a RFID chip in it. It will link the card to a stored record in secure government databases. There will be no personal information on the card itself.Pros and Cons of using the passport card;Pros:- Cheaper in cost, It’s a wallet sized card, thus convenient to store in a wallet or purse- Very convenient for those frequent travelers who live in communities on the boarder of Mexico and Canada.Cons:- Cannot be used for air travel. Use is restricted for land and sea travel between the U.S.,Mexico, Canada,Carribean and Bermuda.If you are a frequent traveler or vacationer, the old fashioned Passport Book is best. There are no restrictions. If you seldom travel and that travel is limited to land or sea to Canada, Mexico, the Carribean and Bermuda, then the less expensive passport card may be the way to go.Production for the passport card is tentatively scheduled for June 2008.For more information go to http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppt_card/ppt_card_3926.html# andhttp://www.gottitravel.com - See Travel Resources in middle at bottom of page.

What's Your Exit Plan?

How One Indie Took Her Dream Full TimeWhen I left my full-time job to launch the Indie Beauty Network in 2000, my exit plan was simple: exchange a career that paid well, but which no longer suited my lifestyle, for a career that allowed me to do what I love and enjoy my lifestyle. While my exit plan was pretty basic (and risky!), other people like Kristen Fraser Cotte and her husband Peter, had a smarter strategy.

kristen_and_peter_cotte.jpg

As co-owners of The Grapeseed Company (TGC) in Santa Barbara, the couple planned Kristen's exit from full-time work as an educational diagnostician years in advance. Their planning and dedication paid off last week on June 12, when Kristen left her job to work TCG full-time.I caught up with Kristen to find out a little about her exit plan and how things are going.dM: What was your exit strategy?Kristen: Altogether, it was a 3-year transition, ending just last week. I did it in stages. At first, I cut my hours a just a little to get things started in the business. I worked 4 days a week and ran the business at night, on Fridays and on weekends. Then, a year or so into it, I cut back to about 50%.I worked out a "job sharing" arrangement with another educator to ease the transition. She worked the days I wasn't there, and vice versa. It was a great arrangement. After doing that for a year, I left the educational arena to pursue our family business! I maintain my teaching credentials in case I need them in the future.As of June 12, I am 100% devoted to TGC, and I couldn't be happier.dM: Were you able to keep your health insurance?Kristen: Fortunately, I have health insurance through my husband's full-time job. (He also serves as TGC's accountant.) Without insurance through his job, I would have had to consider alternative exit strategies and I think it would have been a more difficult transition.dM: What tips can you offer others who want to create an exit strategy so they can take their dream full time?Kristen: Think outside the box. Look deep within your career path or profession to find creative ways to maneuver your work hours and responsibilities so that you can simultaneously accommodate your business. If you look hard enough and want it badly enough, you'll make it work.dM: How do you like being a member of IBN?Kristen: It's great! It offers members a huge wealth of resources. Whenever I have time, I check out all of the great information at the site that helps me run my business and stay on top of things. I really enjoy the Group Coaching.We are working hard to update our online presence and the Group Coaching sessions have been great for that.Of course the affordable products liability insurance is great too!!dM: What's your best selling product at TCG?Kristen: Our Surf Body Lotion, a moisturizing lotion made with grapeseed oil, coconut, lime and mint. We like to say that one whiff will immediately transport you to the beach!

Why You Should NEVER Talk To Cops

Greetings Family,(Contact Information At Bottom Of Page)It's your friendly neighborhood "Digital Drummer" again (smile)I receive hundreds of emails daily, but this one from Melvin Pratt (spinbird_oma@yahoo.com) especially caught my attention. As many who have followed the drama of Jim Neusom knows, I have just recently been acquitted of Social Security Fraud. The reason I bring that up, is because if I had followed the advice given in this webinar, I would never have been convicted in the first place (see http://www.citylightssoftware.com/JIN_appeal_2.html).Two Federal agents showed up at my door late one night, and believing that I was innocent, and this was simply an accounting error, I gave them a voluntary statement that to my shock and dismay, was later characterized as a confession to the Jury.Now understand, that there was no evidence of me committing any crime other then my voluntary statement. I never forged any signature, failed to file the required forms, or misreported any information...I simply said to the Feds, that I was aware of the deposits and spent the money.My purpose in telling my story is to help deter others from cooperating with the police and incriminating themselves in a crime they did not commit. The police are not your friends. They are not there to help you...they are there to solve a crime (by any means necessary)!Now don't get it twisted. This is not another "Stop Snitchin" thread. This is just some good advice for anyone that encounters the Police. Even in a traffic stop situation, do not say anything other then here is my license and insurance. Don't try to explain your actions, cooperate by allowing them to search your car, or agree to anything the officer tells you.Please take the time to send brother Pratt a shout-out and thank him for this empowering information. This online video webinar is in two parts and roughly one hour long. But below is some of the highlights and legal talking points highlighted in this law class;---Why You Should Never Talk To Cops---http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/342.html1. There is NO way it can help youa) You can't talk your way out of getting arrestedb) You can't give them any info that will help you at trial...seeFederal Rule of Evidence 801(d)(2)(A)2. If your client is guilty - and even if he is innocent - he may admit hisguilt with no benefit in returna) What's the rushb) In federal court, 86% of all defendants plead guilty at some point before trial.c) Your statement to the police may become admissible evidence by the time of trial, even if the police officer dies, is convicted ofwrong doing, or all other evidence is thrown out3. Even if your client is innocent and denies his guilt and mostly tell the truth, he can easily get carried away and tell some little lie or make some little mistake that will hang him at trial.4. Even if your client is innocent and only tells the truth, he will always give the police some information that can be used to help convict him.a) It is impossible to talk to the police for a long period of time and not give them something that they can twist into anincriminating factor and/or something that can help their case5. Even if your client is innocent and only tells the truth and does not tell the police anything incriminating, there is still a grave chance that his answers can be used to crucify him, if the police don't recall his testimony with **100% accuracy.6. Even if your client is innocent and only tells the truth and does not tell the police anything incriminating, and his statement is videotaped, his answers can be used to crucify him if the police don't recall their questions with **100% accuracy**Police make mistakes (let's not say the police lie). Now It's Your Word Against Theirs...and we all know which one the jury is more likely to believe.7. Even if your client is innocent and only tells the truth and does not tell the police anything incriminating and the entire interview is videotaped, his answers can still be used to crucify him if the police have any evidence from mistaken, or unreliable evidence that counters any of his statements, and makes him look like he's lying.8. If you deny guilt and then later confess, or facts determine you lied to the police in your initial statement, you now have a new charge that can be worse then the original charge (think Marion Jones, or Michal Vick).Always remember, it is legal for the police to lie, trick, and manipulate you during an interrogation. They are trained to do just that. Any first year lawyer (worth his salt) will only allow the police to talk to you after they have promised some type of immunity or plea deal.***************(Advertisement)*********************Need some great ideas for corporate or personal gift-giving?Then go to City Lights Software(http://www.citylightssoftware.com )and see some of the most unique afrocentric gifts available online!We Deliver ONLINE - Direct To Your Desktop for just $14.95Please take the time to purchase one our afrocentric screen savers TODAY!Don't Just Talk the Talk...Let Your Dollars Walk the WalkIf you have any problems with purchasing online contact me direct at sales@citylightssoftware.com or call (213) 944-4176******************************************************This Online Journal was brought to you by InterServe Networks.

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 Tips
