What do you believe…

Changing your beliefs can be one of the most difficult things to imagine. But is it really? What are your beliefs? Are they the same beliefs as everyone around you or are they actually what you truly believe. If you chose to cancel out everything you have learned from your parents, your friends, your church, and society what would you be left
with.

You will be left with the one true sense of who you really are. Your beliefs would only be what you find to be true and accurate. You would be free to use your own feelings as guides to choose what you resonate with, to raise your vibrations with no other restrictions.

NamasteI was raised in a Catholic home and went to Catholic school most of my life so you would think that my beliefs were pretty rock solid right. Wrong! I always new there was something else, something they weren’t saying, something was missing. I mean I would sit in church and in class listening to what I was being taught and not really believing any of it. Why should I. I knew deep down in my bones this was not all there was, how could it be. There had to be more. Looking back I understand why I got bad grades in Religion class, there were to many questions I had left unanswered.

Introducing African Queen Candace

My Spartan women has introduced me to the African Queen Candace. She is so very dominant in my mind and I can feel a powerful draw to her. Might be the name. As I began this hunt for any information on her, she and my guides lead me to what I needed so I could share this all with you. What I have discovered is pretty remarkable, so this journey of discovery with me. You won’t be sorry.

In my search, the first article I was lead to was about, now get this, Amazon Black Sparta. See this just proves we are all connected. I never knew about a Black Sparta. How cool is that! In this article it talks of women worriers from all nations. Complete armies of nothing but women. Fierce, Loyal, Strong women who fought with all their heart for their beliefs and nation.African Queen Candace

When Is The Right Time For Weight Loss?

When do you make the final decision to take action on your weight? What’s the last straw that pushes you over the edge? What is your “warning weight”… the number that you set in your head that says “ok, gotta have a look at my training and my diet”? Is it when you pants no longer fit? Or you have to squeeze into that theater seat? Or is it when your doctor says “you have to do something or you’re going to die” ? or is it when you sit on the chair at the Christmas Party only to have it collapse under your weight?

I have a friend who keeps talking about his weight and setting goals to do something about it. I’ve been given a written “goal” listing why, when and how this is going to happen, yet it never seems to. Something keeps getting in the way and stopping this person from actually taking charge and doing it.

Finally, the moment came.

Speaking My Truth

I have let my beliefs keep my hands tied for so long so as to appeal to everyone and not piss any one off. I have not spoken my truth but I will no longer let that happen. I cannot make everyone happy all the time and I’m not going to limit myself any longer. I am taking a stand to honor my truth and who I really am. I am a very loving man, very Spiritual, want to be surrounded by beautiful women but have one committed woman in my life and honor her and her truth. I swear, I love, I give, I laugh and I cry. I have two cats that I love very much. I appreciate the beauty in all things. I train hard.. I sweat. I have a bible, but I’ve never read it. I drink occasionally, Red Wine and a good beer. I was vegetarian for 12 years of which 2 were Vegan… Now I’m not. I love meat… I’m a real guy, and I simply will not hesitate with my choices of words when I’m writing any longer.
