Today is the last day of September. It's a Friday... My head is about to explode with everything that I want to accomplish before the year ends. I'm excited about the new possibilities. I'm excited that I have a few parties coming up. I'm proud of the things my daughter has accomplished especially in the past month. I'm proud of the way my husband has been hustling working two full time jobs.
I'm proud of my other lil babies Lady C & Diva who are blossoming and joining my Soso and forming Triple Trouble.
I'm proud of my friends who recently had babies & are wonderful mommies. And I'm proud of my sister wife Aisha who is going to change the world with her publishing company. And yea I guess I can be proud of Hayden & his photography too.. LOL And Michel who is one day going to put H&R Block out of business.
I don't know if it's because it's sunny, or Friday or what..but I'm extremely happy & positive & thankful for what I have & the people that I have in my life. So I'd like to say I hope you are too & have a sexy, happy & fun weekend!
XOXOXO

FACTOID THURSDAY
As always please feel free to share your own facts:
Did you know that Vibrators were original used to treat Hysteria in women? Orginal treatment for Hysteria was digital manipulation (fingering) but doctors felt that took to long & came up with a vibrator to make the proceess go faster...
The first vibrators were steam powered...
Orignally condoms were made from chemically treated linen and animal tissue (usually intestine or bladder)
GO....

A lil bit of Inspiration on Hump Day...
I had no idea what to blog about today but then I got an email from one of my sister-wives (I'll blog about that topic soon) and it was really nice. So I figured I would just post that and give you all a bit of inspiration to get you through the rest of the week...Thank you Michel
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.

It's NOT ok....
On October 6, 2011 I along with a few of my girlfriends will join 1,000 other supporters to climb the steps of 1411 Broadway—a 42-story skyscraper in the heart of Manhattan's Fashion District and Times Square. Why are we doing this? To raise funds to support inMotion, a nonprofit that provides free legal services to battered women and their children. This is our attempt to help battered women & children get the help they need and put us a step in the direction to end domestic violence. The timing of this is perfect as it coincides with our book club book. This month we are reading The End of November by Nicole Sharpe. This is a TRAGIC tale of a women growing up seeing her father abuse her mother & ultimately murdering her and how her life was affected after that. This story hit my hard because it wasn't just a story I was reading. I met her. I stood in her living room and talked to her. And at the time I would have NEVER known everything she had been through.
In my blog and in my business as a passion party consultant I discuss how to keep the romance alive. How to keep things spicy. How to help make a relationship work. BUT none of this is important or necessary if you aren't treated the way you deserve to be treated. NO ONE. Male or female deserves to be physically, mentally or verbally abused. Abuse can take many different forms & no matter how it's packaged it is NEVER ok.
If your mate is physically hurting you please for your own life. End it IMMEDIATELY. Know your worth and never let anyone talk down to you or treat you with any level of disrespect. Because even in the smallest form it's not ok. Let's be strong enough not to fall for the excuse of I was angry. Sorry doesn't make it any better. If you are that mad then you should shut up & walk away. That way you won't have to say I'm sorry later.
As a wife and a mother I am more aware of certain things. And it's no longer about me. It's about my daughter. How I want her to grow up & be treated by whatever man god chooses for her. And although I love my husband very much I will walk away before I allow my child to even THINK it's ok for a man to put his hands on a woman OR speak to her in a disrespectful manner. At this stage in the game it's not something I feel I should discuss. He should just know this. And so should your partner.
Please if you are a victim of domestic violence contact an agency like inMotion and get the help that you & your family need before it's too late.
And for anyone that wants to support our team make it to the top.. Here is the link:

Sexy Rainy Days
POST COMES THANKS TO B.D OF BROOKEY'S CAFE BLOG..THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME TO BE LAZY TODAY! :-)
TGIF!
I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it's pouring here in the NYC. Sometimes there's nothing sexier than a rainy day....but not so sexy when you're at work.
If I were at home, I'd be bundled up on my sofa with fuzzy socks on, drinking hot chocolate and watching movies - that is....if I was alone. But if you've got a boo, here are some sexy rainy day ideas for you:
1. Make love all day. Even better if it's a thunderstorm. Nothing is sexier than that.
2. Cook together. We always want comfort food when it's cold and rainy outside, and cooking together creates an intimate experience. Hook up a steak and potatoes, feed each other...then work it off later if you know what I mean. Have each other for dessert :-)
3. Take a long, hot bath together. Light some candles, put on some Prince...Sade....Jill Scott - whoever does it for you on sexy days like today. Just relax, be a little romantic and wash each other. Dry each other off, and follow it up with an oil massage. Many sexy things can begin in the bathtub.
4. Make it a romantic movie night. Pop some popcorn, break out the candy, cuddle on the couch and watch Love Jones. ("I love you...that's urgent like a muthaphucka.") You might have to put it on pause for a nookie break ;-)
5. Dance together. Dim the lights, or turn them off completely, plug in your iPod to your stereo and hit the "slow jam" playlist. Hold each other close and let the music move you. I'm getting a little tingly just thinking about it ;-)
What are you favorite, sexy things to do on rainy days?

RIP Troy Davis....
My blogs are usually prewritten on a weekly basis. I sit down write a few & then schedule them to post every day. As a mom with a ton of things to do I don't have the luxury of time to write every day. Today I'm going to make the time. Yes my regularly scheduled blog posted BUT I feel the need to write something I am PASSIONATE about. Troy Davis.
This man was executed last night at 11:08pm EST.
As a wife, mother, sister, friend I am appalled at this act. Because as much as we don't want to admit it this could have easily happened to my husband, dad, brothers or friends.
Now I'm not saying Mr. Davis was the model of perfection. Yes he had a record. BUT as with all trials his past could not be used against him. We are talking about THIS crime. The crime he was sentenced to death for. The killing of Police Officer Mark MacPhail. According to the laws of the land you are innocent until proven guilty. This guilt has to be proven without any doubt. Yes there are some cases that aren't that clear cut & in some ways this was one of them. Back when this case was originally tried there was "evidence" and witness testimony... But in the years since then witnesses have stated they were intimidated by police into their testimony. I would like to believe that our society is somewhat different that it was 20 years ago. Therefore it seems very logical to me that these people would come forward & admit that they lied & why. The same way it seems very logical that anyone in power to grant him a stay would do so. There is a LOT of doubt on this case & why would anyone want to be responsible for executing an possibly innocent man?? That's basically another MURDER. They interviewed Officer MacPhail's mother last night & she said she needed the execution to happen & that she was ready for justice. As a mother I get it. If god forbid anything ever happened to any of my children I would want the person responsible to pay. BUT only after I KNEW for a fact that they were the person that did it. I wouldn't want anyone imprisoned or killed that didn't commit the crime. Because then that means the guilty party is still out there free and able to do it to someone else's kid.
All in all this was just a way to vent about something that is thoroughly bothering me today. I really hope that they investigate this further & get to the bottom of this. And I hope everyone involved with Troy Davis's execution will be able to live with themselves if it's proven that he was innocent. We need to do better ladies & gentlemen. Raise our children better & fight for the changes that this country needs. Yes we have a black president, but he can't do everything & won't be able to. We all need to do something. Change will happen one person at a time.
Rest in Peace Troy Davis. And may god bless you & your family
