			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some scientist have made claims that crying is actually healthy for you and it has a lot to do with why women live so much longer than men across the board. Have you ever asked yourself what could possibly be the meaning of tears? At times they fill our entire body with tremendous sorrow while at others times it’s the exact opposite when the tears flow out of astonishment and great joy.</p>
<p>If you’ve ever wanted to have a conversation with your body in which your body told you exactly how it was feeling at any given moment, be thankful because this is what happens when we cry. Next time the tears start to roll just remember that every now and then we all have to listen to what our body is trying to stay because each of us only have one and it’s in our best interest to PAY ATTENTION TO IT!</p>
<p>By definition the word freedom is a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject, to any undue, restraints or restrictions. In other words freedom is a world where you can do whatever you want, whenever you want without worry. Many guest dwell in that shell we call the human body and tears are free to roam within our souls if you open the door titled “Hey I am Human” allowing them to visit your inner self. If you open the door you can be sure of one thing and that’s the fact that this particular guest of “tears,” won’t stay forever so while the tears are visiting understand that they only knocked on the door of emotions because they have something to say… so take the time to listen (this includes men as well)! Think about it if the human body is made up of 90% water it’s only fitting that when our body has something to say it releases the one thing that it is most made of in effort to show us that our body cares about us even when we don’t!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time is one of the few things in life that can’t be manipulated by man. It has the ability to makes us feel fearful about the unknown, the future, outcomes, and even the present. No pun intended but at “times,” it has us wanting to fast forward the moments of everyday life, and at other times it has us wanting to freeze those glorious nuances of a joyful day.</p>
<p>Time is endless in size it can contain every moment of life suspending that which is happening all around you. It’s in our best interest to join that in which we can not beat, so let’s ask ourselves what time is it? Well, the answer is that its time to take care of business to ensure that the best of life stops in your world right on time and not a moment too late or too soon.</p>
<p>The amazing thing about time is that it forces you to deal with the here and now, and that’s a good thing because over time any situation can be altered to our advantage… so let’s take advantage of the time we have been given in life to let the good times roll. The time is now!!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some would argue that women are indeed the more complex sex of the human race. After all they mature way faster than males according to most studies. Women are even intact with their emotional dwellings at a very young age. They seem to have the art of expression by way of tears down to a science, and let’s not forget their amazing ability to remember things when the male sex finds himself traveling down &#8220;Oh and Don’t Think I forgot Boulevard&#8221; (says the women)!</p>
<p>When talking about men its amazing that most conversations start with “men are so freaking stupid, they just don’t get it.” (lmbo) I am a firm believer in the theory of what’s happening on one side is happening on the other.  Meaning to a degree men and women don’t get a lot of things when it comes to defining the other sex. Maybe it’s that whole unknown element that’s makes each sex amazingly foolish at times.</p>
<p>No one person will ever figure out the complex nature of men and women, but one thing is for sure the most reliable source of information about the opposite sex should come from the sex that’s in question. Ladies and Gentlemen, we all need to humble ourselves and realize that your home girl or home boy is just as clueless about the opposite sex as you are, and in the end if you want to know what girls really think just ask a girl and vice versa for the ladies.</p>
<p>I can’t sit here and say that one sex is dominant over the other but what I do know is that you can’t go wrong with the best of both worlds, so lets join forces ladies and gents to create a new era of relationships where men and women actually take the proper amount of time to listen to one another. Most of the greatest lessons in life are heard and not spoken…this is what happens when one decides to become a true friend right?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes you wake up in life and all you can do is wonder why me, what is going on, and how am I ever going to fix or get out of this mess? Oh, and don’t tell me I am getting sick&#8230; This my friends is called life, because these sometimes overwhelming obstacles that we most often perceive as being disastrous are nothing more than experiences for the mind body and soul. Just as our bodies need nourishment to survive so does our portfolio of life &#8211; for without those little episodes also known as “<em>drama</em>,” our lives would be nothing more than a blank sheet of paper with lots of holes.</p>
<p>Its funny but you never hear people say “wow I got some <em>good drama</em> or some <em>good issues </em>to deal with today, and I can’t wait to enjoy them.” As humans it’s important for us to realize that the reality of life is that everyone has issues in which they have to deal with both good and bad.</p>
<p>We tend to cherish those magnificent days, you know the one’s where you know all your bills are paid, family is doing well, looking good as you check yourself out in the mirror, and to top it off it’s the week-end.” But what about those uneventful so called ordinary days? Can we really call any day that we are allowed to live undeserving of our attention?</p>
<p>Today’s message is just a simple reminder to us all to remember that whether the <em>drama</em> in your life is good or bad, it could always be better and the more we look to see the greater picture of life, the brighter the colors will shine and the more we will see the things that moves us to be at our best all the time!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The difference between love and friendship to me is like having different keys. They all may open doors, some only one, others may seem to fit the grooves but won&#8217;t turn&#8230; but one is a master key and it is allowed to open all the doors. The perfect combination is having both a master key along with that little key that opens the safe in the master bedroom,and the luxury suite.</p>
<p>The keys that fit into the door, but does not actually open it we tend to hand out on a regular basis, because society has taught us that its &#8220;polite&#8221; The beauty of this friendship is that you can hand out these keys all day every day, and those friends will never know that they have a useless key because they will never be invited into your house.</p>
<p>The key that only opens only one door is reserved for close friends and family members outside of your intimate circle. It&#8217;s usually the conference room, the kitchen or the living room, all places where things always appear to be in order&#8230; just don&#8217;t open any cabinets or closet to find a mess. In these rooms of friendship you can congregate and share your current life story. This usually includes bitching about life, talking about others, or story telling&#8230;. The beauty of this key is that these people get to see only select parts of your house and you control the clicker to the slide show;)</p>
<p>The master key finds you, you don&#8217;t find it. In other words, we don&#8217;t choose love we just fall. The master key looks just like the rest of the keys, but it feels different and you never leave home without, because its guarded by honesty, love, friendship trust, commitment, and most of all responsibility. It&#8217;s the key that reads &#8220;it is illegal to copy or reproduce this key in any way shape or form,&#8221; because in the end only the original will open the most precious door of all and that&#8217;s True Love with all that you are, and all that you have, this key opens every door for the rest of your life;)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emotions are complicated but they can be made simple, if we pay attention.  What’s the difference between “thinking” verses “knowing?” Most of the time in life we find ourselves in trouble because we “think” we “know” something… its that feeling of mistrust or doubt that creates worry, especially because we “think” something has happened based on speculation. Self-explanations seem to comfort the mind, but in reality all they do is provide a comfort blanket to believe in what ever we desire thus the term “Bull Shit!”</p>
<p>Knowing is far-reaching, substantial, forthcoming, and sensitive, it contains none of the cloaked deception. In other words, there are no false impressions or figment of the imagination, just straight answers thus the term “No Bull Shit!”</p>
<p>My advice is simple&#8230; worry only about the things that you can control in life because worrying about things that you cannot control is ineffective. Don’t “think”, but “know” before you react and the end result will be one that is both on point and to the point and that’s “ No Bull Shit!”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why are so many of us reluctant to admit that the internet plays an important role in our everyday activity? Is it shame, uncertainty, embarrassment, ignorance, or just plain silly?</p>
<p>The internet is nothing more then the modern day telephone with the element of sight added into the mix. The whole point of communication is to express oneself while letting the other party involved discover who you are.</p>
<p>Is it possible to see a person through words on a screen? Absolutely, in fact most of the time a few written sentences will be a better indicator than a mouth full of “BS,” as to what kind of person is before you. In other words, when you can see the “BS” in front of you, you’re less likely to step in it.</p>
<p>The bottom line is this…there is no magic to online sites, if you are a jerk, freak, nerd, player, geek, ugly, hot, fat, sexy, in real life the same applies online (eventually the truth will be revealed) . The computer is only as dumb as we make it!</p>
<p>There is nothing new under the sun, it’s all been here since day one. Don’t give the computer a bad reputation just because it’s a visual reflection of the crazy world we live in. It’s amazing how much more we can see and understand when we use our brains, eyes and ears! Just like the telephone if you don’t want to talk just hang up. The real truth is that to most people sites like FaceBook, Twitter and MySpace have become their Best Friends!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael Jordan, Martin Luther King Jr., Michael Jackson, Babe Ruth, Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, and this list could go on forever but what if Michael Jordan never held a basketball or Martin Luther King Jr. never made that famous <em>I Have a Dream Speech?</em></p>
<p>Life is a complex and mystifying phenomenon. If we believe in the notion that everyone is put on this earth for a reason and purpose, what happens when some of those people never make it into the world to see or achieve their mission or purpose in life?</p>
<p>What if you were personally responsible for stopping slavery, or inventing electricity, how about the vaccinations for so many deadly viruses? How far we have advanced in our civilization is a major accomplishment, but how far we could have advanced, or how many wars and tragedies we could have prevented is a better question! If only that unborn soul was allowed to become!</p>
<p>Abortion is a tuff topic, but look at it this way, use your imagination and imagine the following- You can hear but you can not speak, trapped inside of your mother’s womb, you kick, scream, and cry but your efforts are not heard… Over and over you hear the words I am going to kill it, and your heart starts to race, tears start to flow and yet your voice is not heard… I am not here to force any woman to do anything that she does not want to do but switch places with all the unborn babies in the world who can not speak. Do you choose life or death? Very few things in life go on forever, but its amazing that both life and death last forever with a revolving door on each side- don’t stop the door from turning because without it, the puzzle of life would forever be a box of puzzle pieces that’s missing the most important part ,which is the expression of life! No words, no misunderstandings, its a picture that paints a thousands words, which has the ability to be different to each of us, so now imagine a picture of a dead fetus and ask yourself is that a story you want to tell? One that is void of life but yet it expresses a story of great sorrow, and what could have been…</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <strong>I’M NOT AFRAID</strong> … sometimes life just gets to the point where we need to scream with all that we are, and all that we have- inside life burns with so much frustration that we literally feel strong enough to crush planet earth! What to say? What to do? What’s next? How will this ever work out?</p>
<p>Imagine having the power to dig deep, see the whole picture, ripping yourself inside, only to find that you are made of the hardest substance on earth, and that you can shine no matter what, because you are a diamond!</p>
<p> <strong>“</strong><strong>I&#8217;m not afraid to take a stand”</strong></p>
<p>Fear has limits, all we have to do is stand up and face them head on aiming right at the heart… bulls eye total self examination with the ability to be yourself regardless of the moment (good or bad)…with an aura of confidence that’s so strong that smiling, and feeling good about throwing your middle finger up at the world is always an option, because you understand that you can be what ever you set out to be and taking over the world is just a starting point because your dreams are bigger than life itself!</p>
<p><strong>“Everybody come take my hand<br />
we’ll walk this road together, through the storm<br />
whatever weather, cold or warm<br />
just let you know that, you&#8217;re not alone”</strong></p>
<p>The word together exists for a reason, and when multiplied by such words as friends, and family, it will always leave you invincible. If you choose to stand as one, endurance will deceive you as the rubber band of life starts to stretch, you will soon be faced with the reality that there is no such thing as a single rubber band that can be stretched to infinity. In other words, none of us can hold the world on our backs as we are just not built like that as one. But united no matter how hot it gets, knowing that diamonds are made under heat and pressure reveals to us that it’s possible to come up in the world from the depths of hell!</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Holla if you feel that you&#8217;ve been down the same road”</strong></p>
<p>There is nothing new under the sun! How we handle our day to day business is always in our control! Have you ever stopped to notice that your life is crying out for you to take on the heat and become a jewel, gem, or precious individual that’s so strong that you need a magnifying glass to see its cracks? Get your Diamond on! Thanks Eminem, your words seem to express what I feel in my deepest being within my heart beat, blood stream, and mind, so this is my <strong>Holla to you because I have been down the same road </strong><strong>All I&#8217;m tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW Cause I ain&#8217;t playin&#8217; around !</strong></p>
