Detoxify Your Mind




We detoxify our bodies, but have you ever thought about detoxifying your mind? You see if your mind is clutter with negative thoughts, you have no time to be truly happy. True happiness gives you a better life and power to overcome anything that comes your way.

Never live your life base on what others say or do. Even though sometimes it might be hard to. Your are living for you and God, he is the only one you need to worry about. Detoxify your mind and replace them with good thoughts and watch how things change for you. All that negativity and worrying will eat your body and mind up. Do something good for yourself, you deserve it. If you can't love yourself how are you going to love someone else.

It takes more energy focusing on the bad instead of the good. Cleanse your body from all of the sickness. Give your soul peace, times are hard and it can get in the way of you trying to balance your life.

Doughnut or Toast



As I was sipping on my cup of coffee this morning, my stomach was bugging for something to eat. I said leave me alone later ok!. Grrrrr! Wow you are a fighter aren't you? There's a war going on in there and it needs it firearm. I said ok a few more minutes and I'll give you your fuel. I need to do this work and I'll take care of you as soon as I can, I'm pressed for time. Working trying to get things done and grrrr! It still puts up a fight no matter what! Hunger don't play.

Trying to finish up this last little job and then I'll take a break, but my hunger wasn't having it, grrrr. Finally I gave in and was stuck between a doughnut and toast. I had a doughnut yesterday my conscious said, I said this is between me and my stomach. Shut up! So stomach what should we have today? Don't have a real meal in front of me. Conscious jump in and said "toast" Completely ignoring that. Doughnut is what stomach wants and Doughnut is what it is going to get.

As I reached in to grab my delicious soft and moist cinnamon breakfast, all of a sudden I turn to the fridge and grab two slices of bread toasted it. It's no doughnut but I'd rather eat right then to eat with guilt. I said good job conscious, even though I wanted that doughnut sooo bad, my mind was telling me no and I listened to it no matter what I was craving.

Smart choices can be hard to make when it comes to food. If you have the willpower then making those choices will be just as easy as eating the wrong foods. When I ate my toast I felt so good and was proud of myself. My body was happy too!

When u make the right choices most of the time, then you get to enjoy the foods you love sometimes

Poem: Never Give Up




Life is not easy, with all the chaos and drama we stand through it all. We are not afraid to stand tall. Through the tears, fears and heartaches we Never Give Up! We fight for our rights, for our independence and never lose hope. Respect demanded with every breath, working hard to support our families instilling good morals and wisdom.

Never Give Up!, Never Give up

Just when you think you've fought your last battle, there comes the war and with a doubt you'll be ready for more. You cannot break me, didn't you know? I have powers. Powers of wisdom, Power of Love, Power of Faith, Power Of Hope, and the Power to kick ass! No matter what you do to me my mind won't give in I'm always going to win.

Never Give Up! Never Give Up!

I have a life to live and kids to love and from the Heavens above I'm going live life to the fullest.

Sometimes u get off guard and let the negativity get to you. Look in the mirror. What do you see? A person that's strong, a person that deserves every fine thing that life has to offer and there's nothing more finer than having the power of love. Tell all the haters that you are a motivator and you don't bow down to all the filth that comes out of their mouths.

Never Give Up!

We are all the same, we are all one the only difference between you and me is that I see the light, I'm happy and I'm filled with bursts of energy, energy to spread the positivity into this world. Why u hate on me and Why you turn your nose up at me? I don't know. Maybe you see something in me you wish you had, greatness or beauty or how about both? I must say I am a fly and unique individual. whether it is life giving you a kick in the gut, a deceitful friend, co-worker, family and boyfriend.

You just say I Never Give Up! I Never Give Up! Hit me with your hardest and I will stand strong. Why? Because I am A Survivor!

Beautiful Day

Awoke this morning and did my little workout. I'm trying to get my stomach back in shape and the rest of me lol! I love working out, it makes me feel good about myself as long as it is not boring. Today my family and I set out inside the garage and barbecued some burgers and hot dogs. We had so much fun, my hubby and I were sipping on our favorite drink loving the lovely weather.

Enjoying the burst of sun, hearing the laughter of little ones. It was a beautiful day. Mellow breeze and the right amount of warmth, it couldn't get no better. I love days like this, it just makes you realize how much Family means to you. I'm happy when I'm with my family.

Laughter and Love is the best Medicine. Enjoy life and cherish what u have.

Would You Cheat If You Knew You Wouldn't Get Caught?

Infidelity is the main cause of a relationship to fall apart, but if you love this person and knew that if you wouldn't get caught. Would you risk fulfilling your desires of being with someone else?

When ask this question on the Mike and Juliet show 50% of Men said yes and 50% of Women said yes as well. I'm not going to lie, there were times in my relationship that things were so bad that, I had plenty of opportunities to cheat, but I didn't.

Do think that cheating can be a reaction of being mistreated or people do it because they were weak and couldn't fight their temptations? I would like to know your opinions on this, I'm writing an article about it and would appreciate any feedback.

Why do you think people cheat, and if you have cheated why? Was it worth it, Did it make your relationship stronger or tore it apart? Do you think it is possible to be in a relationship without infidelity? Remember you don't have to be intimated to cheat, a kiss is cheating as well.

Spicing Up The Bedroom: Sexuality




Hey! everyone loves sex, you can get it from anywhere. Lovers, friends, one night stands and even from your bestfriend's man LOL! just kidding, it's true though. Paying for it, I don't know I think it's pathetic if you pay for sex. Sure prostitution is a million dollar industry and it's the oldest profession, I still think it's pathetic. To each it's own. I think sex should never get boring, it's too much of a great feeling for it to be boring. Keeping the fire going in the bedroom is very important. Keep your lover happy, you don't want them to go astray.

Try a few of these tips to keep that fire going or to get it started in the bedroom, or on the counter tops, living room, car or where ever you like to have it.

Try some new exotic lingerie. There's nothing more sexier then wearing some hot lingerie with your boobs showing or butt hanging out.

Sexy Costumes, role play is fun and exciting. Pretending you are a cop or a hot nurse is sure to set a spark.

Foreplay, take the time to caress and get to know the body. Touch is a very powerful way of showing emotions.


Eatable underwear
that feeling of having your lover biting off your underwear will just make u want to jump out of your skin!

Sex toys are fun and can be an pleasant experience. You'd be surprise how many couples use them.

Porn movies, some think it is tacky, but porn movies can get the mood going and you might learn some different positions that you are willing to try.

That's all I have for now and I hope these can be of some help to you. Sexuality is a beautiful thing when shared only between to people that love and care for one another. Make it fun and adventurous, it'll make you feel good and have more confidence in the bedroom.
