Choose what you will use as an altar. This could be a favorite desk, an antique side table, a shelf of any material, a dresser, a cabinet or any solid surface that is study enough. I prefer to use wood, although I do have a shelf made of metal too. Wood is more natural and comes from the earth.</div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />

Choose where you will place your altar. It should be a place where there is little or no immediate traffic and you can sit or stand quietly without interruptions. This will decrease the likelihood that visitors or children will tamper with or otherwise upset your altar. If you wish to share your altar space with visitors, ask them not to touch things without asking you. </div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">3. Place your chosen items on your altar. The cloth can be whatever you like, just keep it within the realm of the spiritual. I have used African prints, Lace and Satin for my coverings. I like to use the colors of Royalty, purple, gold, green, blue. Candles in brass or glass holders are ideal. You may feel the need to light them when you are in prayer or meditation. Incense is a nice addition and it fills the whole house with the aroma of spiritual sweetness. A cross and/ or spiritual statutes or pictures of Jesus helps to visually be intuned to the Holy Spirit. I like to use Angels and Crystals too. It's your choice. Ancestral pieces can be Grandpas watch or Auntie’s gold necklace or your childhood hair clips. You can also include your certificates of accomplishments. Connecting your past to your future is an important part of your spiritual growth. A book of inspirational reading or a bible can be placed on your altar and used for meditation or study. I find that a prayer list is always helpful. It can be an index card or a sheet of paper or a note pad. When I pray for others, I always place there name on the prayer list in a decorative bowl on my altar. You can stand or may prefer to sit in a chair or on a mat or pillow on the floor during meditation, which is perfectly fine. I use a cabinet. It can store books and other resources which may come in handy for study and meditation.</div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />

When you have your altar set up, dedicate it. This will give it a specific purpose for prayer and meditation. Your personal prayer or dedication should be of your own words from your heart. Always approach and leave your altar in a spiritual posture. Enjoy your altar! </div><div style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 16px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br />

As i grow in this writing life, i am often humbled by the people i meet on my journey to self. The poetry groups that i have been blessed to be a member of, have helped to encourage me more than you will ever know. The blog talk shows have taught me so much about myself.<br />
<br />
As i was going through some papers a few years ago searching for a document, i came across some stories and poems i wrote in 1977 and 2002. I was very surprised at the pieces i had written and found myself reading them over and over again with profound joy! I started to write again with great passion. My fingers could not type fast enough! Those of you who know my personal story, know the struggle i went through getting back to myself after the stroke i suffered in 2002.<br />

I am happy to say that i have been writing more and re-writing my past works for presentation in the near future. It is time for this baby to be birthed! Time to arch my back and grunt it out! Or as my beloved Brother Bill would say, "Get it in"!<br />
Thank you all for your encouragement and love!<br />

My nature is ripe<br />
For the sting of the bug of life.<br />
<br />
My seed is ready to birth forth,<br />
Draped in nectar<br />
For such a time<br />
As newness crowns today.<br />
<br />
Phlick, Phlack, Phlo!<br />
Moving, being, forging onward.<br />
Today, the morning and the evening phorm.<br />
Tomorrow, tomorrow.<br />
Breaking, transcending forward.<br />
The core of my heart spills out<br />
Empty, fresh, new<br />
Looking toward.<br />
<br />
Serging, seeking<br />
Hoping, dreaming<br />
What will it be this time?<br />
<br />
Coursing to rhyme<br />
<br />
Choosing to find<br />
Just one more time.<br />
<br />
Time.<br />
<br />
Phlick.<br />
<br />
Phlack.<br />
<br />
Phlo.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

I never knew how<br />
My heart could hurt so<br />
Bad.<br />
<br />
Never knew how love could be so <br />
Sad.<br />
<br />
Rolling along the path of<br />
Life.<br />
Strife.<br />
Love.<br />
Death.<br />
<br />
Conteous of my fellow man is all.<br />
We fall.<br />
We reach.<br />
Up.<br />
Back.<br />
<br />
I never knew if I would<br />
Catch on.<br />
Hold on.<br />
Lead on.<br />
Leave behind.<br />
<br />
<br />
My soul is consumed with fire.<br />
Should i.<br />
Would i.<br />
Could i.<br />
Reach up, reach back, catch on, hold on.<br />
<br />
I never knew I could.<br />
<br />

But as Jack grows older and more curious, it becomes clear that the room will not be able to hold him and Ma forever. Michal Friedman shines as Jack; her narration is haunting and compelling in its every inflection and tone. The voice she creates for Jack is so convincing, listeners may even mistake her for an actual child. Her powerful performance is complemented by Robert Petcoff's sinister Old Nick, and Ellen Archer's portrayal of resourceful Ma, whose gentle voice is infused with patience, terror, and hope. The chemistry between the players creates a gem of a book that will haunt readers long after the story's end.</div><br />

<br />
Jackson, Mississippi, in the early 1960s is a city of tradition. Silver is used at bridge-club luncheons, pieces polished to perfection by black maids who “yes, ma’am,” and “no, ma’am,” to the young white ladies who order the days. This is the world Eugenia “Skeeter” Phelan enters when she graduates from Ole Miss and returns to the family plantation, but it is a world that, to her, seems ripe for change. As she observes her friend Elizabeth rudely interact with Aibileen, the gentle black woman who is practically raising Elizabeth’s two-year-old daughter, Mae Mobley, Skeeter latches ontothe idea of writing the story of such fraught domestic relations from the help’s point of view. With the reluctant assistance of Aibileen’s feisty friend, Minny, Skeeter manages to interview a dozen of the city’s maids, and the book, when it is finally published, rocks Jackson’s world in unimaginable ways. With pitch-perfect tone and an unerring facility for character and setting, Stockett’s richly accomplished debut novel inventively explores the unspoken ways in which the nascent civil rights and feminist movements threatened the southern status quo. Look for the forthcoming movie to generate keen interest in Stockett’s luminous portrait of friendship, loyalty, courage, and redemption.<br />

<strong>Product Details:</strong><br />
<br />
Sister Souljah, the <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Coldest Winter Ever </i>and <i>Midnight, </i>delivers her most compelling and enlightening story yet. With<i>Midnight and The Meaning of Love, </i>Souljah brings to her millions of fans an adventure about young, deep love, the ways in which people across the world express their love, and the lengths that they will go to have it.<br />
<br />
Powerful and sensual, Midnight is an intelligent, fierce fighter and Ninjutsu-trained ninja warrior. He attracts attention wherever he goes but remains unmoved by it and focuses on protecting his mother and sister and regaining his family’s fortunes. When Midnight, a devout Muslim, takes sixteen-year-old Akemi from Japan as his wife, they look forward to building a life together, but their tumultuous teenage marriage is interrupted when Akemi is kidnapped and taken back to Japan by her own father, even though the marriage was consummated and well underway.<br />
<br />
“There’s not one drop of inferiority in my blood,” Midnight says as he first secures his mother, Umma, and sister, Naja, before setting off on a global journey to reclaim his wife. Midnight must travel across three countries and numerous cultures in his attempt to defeat his opponent. Along this magnificent journey he meets people who change him forever, even as he changes them. He encounters temptations he never would have imagined and takes risks that many a lesser man would say no to, all for the women he loves and is sworn to protect.<br />

And making my own cards for 15 years. I love anything that i can scrap with! I have to admit, i do spend a lot of money on my hobby but i try to catch things on sale! My wish list for this year would have to include:<br />
Paper (any kind)<br />
Markers<br />
Brads<br />
Stickers<br />
Stamp Pads (Any Color)<br />
Rubber Stamps<br />
Embossing Powders<br />
Border Punches <br />
Gift cards to Hobby Lobby or Michael's<br />
<br />
<br />
I am in several online scrap groups and card groups, some i have been a member of for many years. I love to attend scrap parties with my friends!<br />
Have a great day!<br />

<br />
I began my journey through menopause in 1989, shortly before my 38th birthday. I was told by my then male doctor that menopause was just in my head and that i was too young. My mother suggested that i go to another doctor. This time, i found a woman doctor. She was caring and let me talk for as long as i needed to about what i was feeling and what was happening to my body.<br />
<br />
Over the years, i did research, read books, experimented with herbs, foods, exercises and began to feel better even though i was deep into menopause. I wrote this book starting in 1999 as a guide to help my friends and relatives cope with the trials of menopause.<br />

Well, it's been snowing in cleveland, Ohio non stop for the last 24 hours! We have about 4-5 inches so far with more coming! I am in Cleveland visiting family and friends for the holidays! My journey started in November with a visit to Nashville to my daughters for my birthday! I have decided to start blogging more about life, love and happiness. I am having a very nice visit and have taken lots of pictures to share. </div><div> </div><div>Maegan learned a few beading techniques and made her first pair of earrings! She gave to to a co-worker as a gift and she loved them! I was so pleased that Maegan wanted to learn beading, a favorite hobbie of mine!</div><div> </div><div>Shirley, our waitress at the Waffle House in Nashville and my daughter Maegan.
