I'm Not usually very political however, Watching the news of Libya is heart-wrenching. I used to live there as a little girl. I have so many fond memories of Tripoli. Wheelus AFB walking to the Mediterranean sea most days with my Parents and My uncle Chappie James. Watching fireworks on the beach, Laying outside, star gazing, traveling to Tunisia, Djerba & The Rock of Gibraltar...Wow... I hope this ends soon & God Bless the people seeking their freedom.

RICH is Better...Get there !!!

RICH is Better...Get there !!!

MORE Empowerment Ladies ...First of all "Don't get it Twisted " We are not defined by wealth... But how much GOOD do you want to do in this WORLD ??? How many lives could you change if you were Wealthy... How much more could you help yourself, Friends, Family, House of Worship, Community and the World in general if you had more money. How many times have you wished you could do more for someone struggling. THAT IS the Point of WEALTH and yes there are many ways to be wealthy in other ways than just financial wealth (health, spirit, etc) but right now I'm talking about "MONEY" so I do MEAN MATERIAL, FINANCIAL WEALTH not just the Attainment of Things. Although things are great and they have their place, I love having lots of stuff...especially shoes... And I love to have fun and go out etc... But that's not "WEALTH's True Purpose " hmmm sound like a book title to me...

THE True Reason for WEALTH is that you are "Blessed to BE a Blessing to others" period end of Story. DO you REALLY believe that a Drug Dealer, hooker, or Pimp should have more money than you ? Just take 2 seconds to think about that. Whether you believe in GOD or the Universe or whatever you believe (Personally, I believe that GOD created the Universe so, HE IS the Universe and since I'm one with HIM... I'm one with the Universe, but that's another topic)... BUT Do you really think GOD's and /or UNIVERSAL Law would be that money is here to perpetuate negative people or to lift up and empower people... It's not that Complicated the problem is PEOPLE and Not GOD but Religion... " the BIBLE says "MONEY answereth ALL things" Ecclesiastes 10:19 and "That Wealth and Riches are to be in the house of the believer" Psalm 113... "The Blessings of the LORD make me Rich and HE adds no sorrow" Proverbs 10:22 I am sure just about every religion and Philosophy has their own version of these statements... It is people's wrong mindset and motives that cause money problems, NOT Money...

There is a Statement that says "Money only magnifies who you already are". If you are selfish, Greedy and Tyrannical with a Little money then when you will just be more selfish, Tyrannical, and greedier with Money...If you are a Generous, Giving, Compassionate person with Little money, then those positive qualities will be magnified as well. I have seen this with two individuals just in the past week. One person's entire self worth, values and identity is tied to his money. Sadly, He believes that it gives him the right to run rough shod over people and to an extent it does: but this kind of power is fleeting because it is backed by purely selfish and wrong motives. On the other hand I have seen a person already struggling, give there last to help someone else and seen Amazing things happen in their life, in one week... Don't get me wrong there maybe times that we all struggle, I'm sure even Oprah and Bill Gates with all their money wish they had more to do more... Whether you like them or not they have learned the "Secret of MONEY"...Because their Primary motive is for a benefit outside of themselves... "Give and it shall be given to you good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over" .

So Think about this how can you change the world without Money, simple you can't. How can you save lives in Africa or feed starving people and aid the sick around the world if you can't even afford a plane ticket go there. DUH !! Money is not EVIL it's "The LOVE of Money that is Evil" and Truth Be told most people that LOVE and Worship Money don't have it...If you see that you have an unhealthy relationship with money . STOP Over Complicating Money, NOW , Know its power and its purpose act accordingly start right now by changing your mindset..Choose to be wealthy, for yourself, your loved ones and ultimately to Make a Difference in this World..."

Simply stated I've been poor and I've been rich and RICH is Better...Get there !!!
