DAY 1: GOOD GYRLS MOVE IN SILENCE.
Yeah, okay, I bit a line from the Notorious BIG. So what! What rapper hasn't borrowed material before. Seriously. Good gyrls move in silence was the mantra for today. My point was to be more observant and less vocal. At time I have alot to say. Today as I purpose to watch and observe and be slow to speak, that's biblical by the way. I learned alot.
1. Some of the stuff that I wanted to say was not going to help the situation.
2. People are really quite hilarious.
3. When somebody is lying and they think that you don't know, you really have the upperhand and control how things are going to play our. Funny how the liar thinks that he/she is in control of the situation.
4. Whether, I have an episode (Old Schoolers call it a FIT) or not the situation is going to eventually be resolved.
5. My stress level was significantly down today.
DAY 2: DREAM BIG. THE SKY'S THE LIMIT
This is really simple, but you'd be amazed how many people won't try it. Have you ever been thinking about someone and then they call you or you see them at the store or the gas station? This simple strategy is something like that. Remember taking long trips as a kid and seeing cars, homes, etc. and claiming it for yourself. This is our goal for DAY2.
Write down everything you want to see manifest itself in your life. ETC.
I want my children to clean their rooms daily.
New 6 bedroom home with glass elevator.
Own a premiere dayspa.
Publisher of the year.
Nike sponsorship, because I'm doing it BIG.
Life supply of Hubba Bubba Bubblegum.
Jahzara Water
It's your list, so write, write, write, until you can't think of anything else. What would you do if you knew you could not fail.
DAY 3: "Play Your Position. Stay In Your Lane." Inspired by Lacha' Mitchell.
Everyone has a gift or talent. Some individuals have several. That being said, there's no need to "hate" on another individual. Simply utilize your gift/talent to the fullest. Sometimes we have to do some soul-searching to know what our gift is. Now once you know what your gift is you must groom it, and bring it into maturation. Everyone is responsible for how they handle or don't handle their gift(s). See, I know my gifts and abilities which is why you'll never see me on American Idol. There's no need for me to embarrass myself in front of millions of Americans and get upset when I am not selected "American Idol," because that's not my gift. Knowing that, I can now play my position and stay in my lane.
I dare you to assess yourself and figure out what your gifts and abilities are. List them. Now ask yourself am I utilizing my gift(s) to the fullest? Be honest. If not, how will you utilize your gifts and abilities. So, I honestly had to say I was not utilizing my gifts to the fullest and then I created a P.O.A. (PLAN OF ACTION.)
DAY4: What's In Your Hand?
As I watched my students take the Graduating Qualifying Exam, I noticed them struggling. It felt bad to sit and watch them in silence. I couldn't help them. It was on them to use what they had to succeed. Many squirmed in their seats uncomfortably because they were out of their comfort zone. However, they were equipped for the test. They had been prepared through tutoring, remediation. They were allowed to use a reference sheet that had formulas, rulers, and calculators. They had everything they needed. However, when you don't recognize what you have and know how to utilize those tools, I guess it will send you in a state of panic.
Use what's in your hand, your gifts and talents. Are you making your gifts and talents work for you?
P.O.A.- Use my gifts and talents. Put something in motion.
DAY5: TIME TO UPGRADE
This can be fun or it can be painful. I am actually working on a book entitled "It's Time To Upgrade When..." But back to the topic at hand, upgrading can cause a myriad of emotions. I noted last week that what worked last season will not work this season. Sometimes, the things that worked in the past are no longer valid or useful. You have to let some things go and upgrade.
What things in your life need to be upgraded? Sometimes we have become so comfortable with those permanent fixtures and this is where it may be painful for some--you have to let go of some things and move on to bigger and better. It's not that people don't want to move on to bigger and better, it's the pain and separation that some will deal with regarding letting go of the old and un-useful thing. Sometimes people get in a place of complacency and acceptance.
DAY6: IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT ME
The most profound thing I heard on this week was out of the mouth of my 5-year-old daughter. She said that she and her classmates told another classmate that the teacher was not just their for the one classmate but she was there for all of them. As narcissistic as we are as a people, we must realize that "IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT US." Today, I wanted to genuinely help others and put others first and I tried to do that by assisting others with ideas to prosper them and their endeavors.
DAY7: LETTING GO
I'm not going to let anything or anyone worry me. Anything or anyone that is going to upset my flow will be eliminated. Point blank and I won't be looking back. Most people who really know me know that "When I'm done, I'm DONE!"
No Child Left Behind, there are people being left behind as I make this shift. Low expectation, no goal having, miserable people there is no room for you as I make this next shift. I wish you peace and love all the same.
Reflecting on what my mother told me as little girl and some things my father said to me two days before he died. Had I meditated on what my parents told me more often in the past, I can guarantee you I wouldn't be sitting here right now. Charting the course of my future.

The Media and Tiger
I do not like Tiger Woods' behavior and what he did. So, let me say that up front.
I'm wondering how is it that people can be so influenced by the media's portrayl of certain issues though. The media has a problem with Tiger but I don't see anyone complaining about these reality shows with these men and their heiroms.
No one is outraged by rappers degrading women, advocating trading sex for cash, advocating unprotected sex, advocating sex without marriage. "Have a Baby By Me and Be A Millionaire," I could tear this to pieces but why? Say no more.
One celebrity gets millions of dollars in endorsements for saying degrading things about women and promoting promiscuity. Another celebrity simply acts out what rappers-- role models say do and he's butchered in the media. Ridiculous. It's all wrong isn't it? Who will step up and say enough is enough? How long will the public overlook some bad behavior and not all bad behavior.

Sexy Dress and Church?
The Bible says "Come as you are."
Does that mean wearing a club dress to church?
I am sure that God will accept and love you whether you are wearing something sexy or something casual, but your fellow congregation may not feel its appropriate. Well at BGC, Inc., we love the sexy look, the club dresses, and tight fitting garments, but would not wear them to church. If you think about it in another way, would you wear that mini skirt to an interview? Would you wear your sexy sequins club dress to work? The same runs true in a church setting as well. Its not fashionable to go to church with sexy attire. I am not saying that you should worry about what people think of you, but be mindful of your attire and appearance. If the only clothes you have in your closet are the sexy ones, then layer them. Covering up defines maturity. Your confidence in your appearance is what makes you attractive, not your cleavage showing. Here are some tips for God fearing fashionistas with a closet full of sexy:
1) Layer Layer Layer: when wearing a garment that has low cleavage, then wear a camisol or tank underneath. Another option will be to wear a bolero jacket on top of the garment, you can really set it off with mixing colors such as a black vneck top, fuchsia pencil skirt, with a turquoise bolero jacket.
2) If its too tight, don't force it: know your size ladies, its imperative! If your pants cut of your circulation in the tummy area, don't wear them. Go one size up if you have to or put on a body magic garment. Think of all the sitting you are doing when you attend church.
3) Who let the thighs out: minis are in style, but so are knee length skirts. There is nothing that says fashion like a knee length pencil skirt. Get one thats not too tight because it can interfere with your walking stride.

KILLER LIPSTICK POEM BY GPA
KILLER LIPSTICK (THE END?) by ANONYMOUS(GREATEST POET ALIVE)
light and dark
night and day
hunger and satiation
life and death
curse her with curse words then praise in next breath
sicker than on life support,
natural foods,clean thinking,affluent pockets as if life is well
cherubim,seraphim float,fly throught Heaven
fires' flames fiercely ferociously burn in the dark depths of Hell
killer lipstick
extremes hat would be light years apart now paradoxically mesh
a blissful mindstate existence while also around me are horrid horrible screams and burning rotting flesh
in the search for killer lipstick,monogamy becomes polygamy then a divorce unamicably splitting in two
hating halves of what was eternally whole.
because the meandering mindnumbing murderous lipstick was a killer both beauteously bedeviled beguiling and purity pure that had lineage linked to FATHER and Deceiver, i pledged and bartered my soul.
and in the aftermath, a kiss from her i never received...

FASHION TREND REPORT 2010
2010 Fashion Trend Report
The New Year is upon us, and with every changing year, there are changes in fashion. For 2010, it’s a smooth transition of some of the same styles, with a little twist to them. I am here to make your new year fabulous, fierce, and on point. Spring is only a few months away; let’s get you prepared!
Colors
The top ten colors to wear for the spring ’10 are:
• Turquoise- compliment it with a contrasting or darker color such as chocolate brown or blood red. Blend with a multicolored chunky accessory and you are there.
• Tomato Puree’- a basic red with a subtle touch of grey and cream tones.
• Fusion Coral- an escalated coral peachy color that also looks fabulous with chocolate brown. Find a fabulous fusion coral color top and pair up with a skinny leg, stone washed denim with coral shoes, Fierce! BTW, Avon has a sharp coral hobo bag on clearance right now.
• Pink Champagne- is a color meant for the Lipstick Killer diva stepping out on the town. Its pure elegance and should be worn as such. Find a pink champagne suit for career, who said you cannot be fabulous at work?!
• Amparo Blue- similar to that 80s color blue.
• Tuscany- a light tan or grayish camel color.
• Violet- yes last season it was all about the dark purple and plums, now for the spring it’s all about the light purples. Rock this color in a style similar to Fusion Coral.
• Aurora- yellow with grey tone.
• Dried Herb- the color, not the plant : ) looks like olive green, compliment this with a lime, Sharp!
• Eucalyptus- a mix of olive and cream, compliment w/dried herb.
Trends
Retro elegance is key this season. When you are staring at your closet in the morning, think of Jackie-O, but with more fitted look. Here are some fashion tips that will keep you trend setting instead of trend following.
• Slim, middle knee length or slightly above the knee, pencil skirts to slim you down, but also accentuate those legs and curves
• Tops w/ jewels or sequins embroidery, glam them up with pencil skirts or denim
• The off shoulder look has not gone anywhere yet and if you have not gotten into it, what are you waiting for? Find an off shoulder sweater or flowing tunic, t-shirt dress are a plus
• Speaking of t-shirt dresses, look for ripped, cut, knotted, and other twisted rocker looks
• For my curvy and thick divas, do not get into the floral wallpaper prints that everyone seems to fall in love with in fashion week! Instead aim for less flower for extra elegance, see picture of the Lipstick Killer Floral Panel top with pencil skirt and live by it!
• Yes, asymmetric hems are still ruling the runways
• The tough and chic look will also be popular in the New Year, mix tight fitting blazers, vest, and boy jackets with skinny leg jeans, leather motor jackets are also a plus
• I am definitely not a big fan of the harem pants, just can’t bring myself to put on my McHammer pants again, but if you feel the need, do it girl, its in
As always, there is no fear in fashion, love, and life. Have a fashion fabulous New Year! Stay tuned for more fashion reports.
