Ten Commitments ?

I was reading this book "A conversation with God!" A man had a conversation with God to the point that he wrote a couple of books. They had a question and answere thing going on. This is the clarification that God gave the author on the ten commadments, Check it out...

Ten Commitments


You shall know that you have taken the path to God, and you shall know that you have found God, for there will be these signs, these indications, these changes in you:


1. You shall love God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul. And there shall be no other God set before Me. No longer will you worship human love, or success, money, or power, nor any symbol thereof. You will set aside these things as a child sets aside toys. Not because they are unworthy, but because you have outgrown them.

And, you shall know you have taken the path to God because:


2. You shall not use the name of God in vain. Nor will you call upon Me for frivolous things. You will understand the power of words, and of thoughts, and you would not think of invoking the name of God in a unGodly manner. You shall not use My name in vain because you cannot. For My name -- the Great "I Am” -- is never used in vain (that is, without result), nor can it ever be. And when you have found God, you shall know this.

And, I shall give you these other signs as well:


3. You shall remember to keep a day for Me, and you shall call it holy. This, so that you do not long stay in your illusion, but cause yourself to remember who and what you are. And then shall you soon call every day the Sabbath, and every moment holy.


4. You shall honor your mother and your father -- and you will know you are the Son of God when you honor your Father/Mother God in all that you say or do or think. And even as you so honor the Mother/Father God, and your father and mother on Earth (for they have given you life), so, too, will you honor everyone.


5. You know you have found God when you observe that you will not murder (that is, willfully kill, without cause). For while you will understand that you cannot end another’s life in any event (all life is eternal), you will not choose to terminate any particular incarnation, nor change any life energy from one form to another, without the most sacred justification. Your new reverence for life will cause you to honor all life forms -- including plants, trees and animals -- and to impact them only when it is for the highest good.
And these other signs will I send you also, that you may know you are on the path:


6. You will not defile the purity of love with dishonesty or deceit, for this is adulterous. I promise you, when you have found God, you shall not commit this adultery.


7. You will not take a thing that is not your own, nor cheat, nor connive, nor harm another to have anything, for this would be to steal. I promise you, when you have found God, you shall not steal.
Nor shall you...


8. Say a thing that is not true, and thus bear false witness.
Nor shall you...


9. Covet your neighbor’s spouse, for why would you want your neighbor’s spouse when you know all others are your spouse?


10. Covet you neighbor’s goods, for why would you want your neighbor’s goods when you know that all goods can be yours, and all your goods belong to the world?


You will know that you have found the path to God when you see these signs. For I promise that no one who truly seeks God shall any longer do these things. It would be impossible to continue such behaviors.
These are your freedoms, not your restrictions. These are my commitments, not my commandments. For God does not order about what God has created -- God merely tells God’s children: this is how you will know that you are coming home.

im not a junior anymore ... random thought

i went shopping today and as i was trying on clothes. i looked like a whore. a bad one at that. meaning everything i tried on was tooo tight in all the wrong places. yes my ass looked big but tacky, my thighs were popping out the sides, and who in the hell thought of low rise jeans in the first fucking place.

then i ventured to a different section of the store, oh what is this, Misses section. the jeans fit perfectly showed my shape but not too tight, the jeans fit right up to my belly button, i can breathe, i likes this.

Excited about this new find i contacted my BFF. she laughed at me. Jaye you still shop in juniors you have a baby now, your hips have spread, you are a woman and may i remind you, you are 3*.

Right on, so i got to thinking i do dress so immature, i mean half the time i am in a uniform so i dont really think about my street clothing as much anymore. i dont go to clubs so i dont need club wear.

i am going to start picking some new pieces, more age appropriate because did you guys know... i am a woman now. (SMILE)

p.s. then y am i in an A cup :( (so frusturating)

Almond Oil

(Sweet) Almond Oil,

Cold pressed from the dried kernels of the almond tree, is an excellent emollient (softening and soothing to the skin) and is known for it's skin nourishing properties. It is a great moisturizer, makes a stable luxurious mild lather and helps condition the skin. This oil has a fine texture and is easily absorbed, leaving the skin soft and smooth without a greasy feel. Not only does this oil help protect the skin's surface, but it also acts as a conditioner to help promote a clear, clean, young looking complexion. It is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, and E and is said to relieve dry, itchy skin. In hair care, sweet almond oil helps condition, nourish, and soften hair.

The Beautiful Body

Erykah Badu made a contriversial video which i am not going to discuss but what is the fear of our beautiful body?

Only americans fear themselves what we really look like. I myself love nudity not for the sexuality but the comfortableness. the breeze being free.

Maybe if we stop playing so much SEX on TV maybe our kids and society would not be so vulgar thinking, so uglym so self conscious, so sad, so ordinary!

Love thyself just as is!
