Taking back my Health

Today I woke up and thought enough is enough. I'm taking back my health. I just hate waking up feeling horrible. I don't want to get to graphic or personal but my bowels ain't right. I know exactly why I don't eat enough fruits, vegetable or drink enough water. I been told that diseases start in the colon and I'm cleansing mines out.
Starting out with a Modified Master Cleanse. Where I will drink a concoction of 6-12 glasses of cleansing lemonade throughout the day. Which consist of:
8 oz. water
½ lemon
Pinch cayenne pepper
2 Tablespoons of syrup
Then I will have a evening drink of cup Smooth Move Herbal Tea. Which is the absolute truth and will clean you out from the rooter to the tooter. When I wake up I'll drink a saline rinse of 32 oz water 2tsp uniodized sea salt( I like whole food brand). If I get hungry i will eat a piece of fruit. Around 6pm I'll eat a dinner. which consist of a green spinach salad and fish. I'm do this for a week then transition back to my regular schedule program. This is just a jump start I need to get things going. i have done this before check out my journey here. It is hilarious

Bull Shit!!

ABC News interviewed 4 Black women who admit to NOT HAVING A RELATIONSHIP IN OVER A DECADE becasue black black are not any good, they not on there level etc..
I refuse to believe that there are not any good black man out there to marry. Ladies stop saying this otherwise this will become your reality.In fact,the marriage rates amongst black women are up after reaching an all-time low of 46% in the mid 1990s - the Black marriage rate has GROWN STEADILY since then, and is now close to 50% for the first time since the 1970s.

Habari Gani!!!

Is the Swahili word, meaning What's the News? It is the greeting for each day of Kwanzaa.A unique African American celebration with focus on the traditional African values of family, community responsibility, commerce, and self-improvement. Kwanzaa is neither political nor religious and despite some misconceptions, is not a substitute for Christmas. It is simply a time of reaffirming African-American people, their ancestors and culture. Kwanzaa is based on the Nguzo Saba (seven guiding principles), one for each day of the observance, and is celebrated from December 26th to January 1st.

Umoja (oo-MO-jah) Unity stresses the importance of togetherness for the family and the community, which is reflected in the African saying, "I am We," or "I am because We are."

Kujichagulia (koo-gee-cha-goo-LEE-yah) Self-Determination requires that we define our common interests and make decisions that are in the best interest of our family and community.

Ujima (oo-GEE-mah) Collective Work and Responsibility reminds us of our obligation to the past, present and future, and that we have a role to play in the community, society, and world.

Ujamaa (oo-JAH-mah) Cooperative economics emphasizes our collective economic strength and encourages us to meet common needs through mutual support.

Nia (NEE-yah) Purpose encourages us to look within ourselves and to set personal goals that are beneficial to the community.

Kuumba (koo-OOM-bah) Creativity makes use of our creative energies to build and maintain a strong and vibrant community.

Imani (ee-MAH-nee) Faith focuses on honoring the best of our traditions, draws upon the best in ourselves, and helps us strive for a higher level of life for humankind, by affirming our self-worth and confidence in our ability to succeed and triumph in righteous struggle.

JESUS was not born on this day!!!!

It was more like spring time because of the timing & location of shepherds and their flocks in the Biblical stories about his birth. Also the three wise men were following a star in the east that was bright enough to stand out from all the rest, and this usually happens around springtime.

December 25 date was meant to accommodate one or more pagan festivals. That the Christian church picked out to help convert pagans who were accustomed to celebrating Yule or Winter Solstice or, in Roman regions in particular, the Saturnalia or Janus.This date was chosen, and remains, the traditional date for followers of many different Pagan religions to celebrate the rebirth of the sun.

Following the solstice, each succeeding day has slightly more sunlight than the previous day. It was seen as a promise that warmth would return once more to the earth. Numerous pre-Christian Pagan religions honored their gods' birth or rebirth on or about that day. Their deities were typically called: Son of Man, Light of the World, Sun of Righteousness, Bridegroom, and Savior. (Do your Research)

We celebrate on Dec. 25th because earlier Christians reverse engineered a pagan holiday and some of its traditions and mixed it with Christian traditions and called it Jesus's birthday. Note the Bible does not say December 25 is Jesus' birth date nor to celebrate it. By examining the scriptures carefully you can get an idea of what time of year he may have been born and it isn't in December.

Well, in short, nobody really knows when Jesus was born, but we know he was. So if you choose to celebrate please do not be deceived and don’t look down of those who don’t celebrate or acknowledge this day.
Peace

What do you think about Nicki Minaj

I asked this question on my facebook page "Civ Jones" and here is what my you said:

Latisha Lillian Bellamy
I cant get with the whole 'Barbie' kick and those crazy wigs..She is talented and beautiful the way she was!

Jennifer Moore
She talented but over rated. She does not have her own identity. When u look at her u think of who she reminds you of....You don't say this chick is unique...

Amber Pennington
she is ok but I still think Trina got her beat. I listened to some of her mix tape and its not all that.

Jsoul Black Sinatra
speaking from a mans perspective.... i watch her videos "with the sound down", Thats the only way it makes sense to me.

Tigga Smaller
I agree Jennifer she is a knock off of another female rapper no name needed.....cant say I care for her too much....I think I only got down wit one track she got.

Candace Smith
I love Minaj!

Clairee Jones
honestly ii lyke her! alot of ppl hatiin on her && 4what? she da only female rapper dats really puttiin shyt out riite now! ii fuqks wiit triina 2 && thiinks she's betta den niickii but whea iis she.............???

Shy LadyHeroin
I think she is talented... she can spit & sing. But she lacks in originality. She's like a bootleg Kim & Wayne combined. & she's so focused on being a Barbie her music has no substance.

Jaye Hunnie
I agree that she can spit but she 's not what I consider a serious emcee. Her voice/delivery can get annoying after awhile but I can't knock her hustle. As far as image, she's gorgeous and I think the whole Barbie thing is all in fun. Apparently it's working because she's got the Hip Hop world buzzing. All this hoopla is definitely not a result of her rhymes. lol

Tigga Smaller
well I have to say that I am not hatin on her bc she has nothing I want. Just dont really care for her. Maybe if she come out wit something new I might borrow the cd and check her out but I am not gonna run out and buy her stuff

Robert Dickerson
She is a Beast when it comes to looks....but I think she is a female artiste about her cake...I bet she is sweet I would take a piece...BLITZ LOL....

I said
Interesting comments. I think she ok for as being entertaining but as for as substance she lacks it. I remember being introduce to her music 3 years ago I thought with a little more structure and if she can find away to carve out her on lane she could be great. However I... See More’m realizing she doing what everybody else is doing being a follower and not a leader. It’s good party music though and like Tigga said I might borrow her CD
