My 4-year-old son has been a little angry. Yesterday we went to the beach. I allowed the waters to calm his spirit. I allowed the sun to charge and heal him. Time in nature creates a space for balanced emotions. He looked so renewed at the beach. He told me, "Yemaya hit me with a wave, that was the coolest part".
Yemaya is a Yoruba deity that rules the top layer of the ocean. She protects and nourishes all, especially women and children. She washes away hurt and misery.

A healthy functioning liver also can ease anger issues. Adults can do more intense liver cleanses. I would not recommend this for a child. However, you can add liver healing and detoxing foods to your child's daily diet. Foods that clean the liver and keep it functioning healthy are:

Apples, Beets, Garlic, Onions, Broccoli,
Brussel sprouts, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Prunes
Raisons, Berries, Plums, Oranges, Pink grapefruit
Cantaloupe, Pears, Artichoke,
Bitter leafy salad greens (dandelion, chicory, endive, rocket).

As I watched this I think I was just as alarmed as the mother:

Greetings!

I have been connecting with mothers all over the world, especially my single parenting sisters.

I have decided to do this, because I know that single parenting does not mean ONLY parenting. We are not alone! The universe has been assisting us and we are a part of a much larger family.

Rising above the baby daddy & mama drama is necessary for our community to prosper and move forward.

I send you all much love and power!

Most people choose not to vaccinate their children because of dangers or religious reasons. My son visited a pediatrician for the first time in 3 ½ years since he was 4 weeks old. The doctor asked me why I chose to refuse vaccines. I explained to her my reasons, mainly health related. However, as I left the office I also thought about the ethical reasons. As an “American citizen” I take for granted the fact that many of our children are not used as vaccine trial subjects. Pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars off of vaccines. But, many poorer children without a voice have suffered and died in order for wealthier children to have vaccines and the rich to get richer.

Background

o, this one has taken to expressing her thoughts through written word, which could not put a bigger smile on my face! Whatever goes on in her little head is expressed through random notes that appear in places such as on my keyboard, my pillow, Kris' desk, or the kitchen counter. Yesterday, she got in trouble for telling me she'd completed a book I'd assigned her, only because she wanted the reward I had promised. I rambled on about the importance of telling the truth and sent her to her room. A few moments later, here's what appeared on my desk:

Once the child is conceived parents must begin nurturing the child while in the womb. Mother and father need to send the child loving and healing light daily. Parents must be conscious of the energy being sent. They should send only the divine and positive. The child is encapsulated in water. Water carries emotions. The baby can receive both positive and negative energy. Whether the mother is feeling joy, anger, or sadness the unborn child will feel it too. She has the ability to hear around 4 1/2 months. This is when the ear becomes functional. Iyas (mamas) sing Afrikan cultural songs to your babies and read to them in the womb. Babas (fathers) the child can hear your voice too. While, there is some evidence that the child hears the father’s voice and that his voice has a calming affect on the newborn, the link between the child's ear and the father's voice is not even remotely as direct as the mother's voice. So, the greatest contribution that the expectant father can make is to love his child's mother.

I have been working on a series of articles that give parents practical ways on ingraining the concept of entrepreneurship into the minds of their children.  To view the above article, visit www.black-marketexchange.com.

I want to start this entry off by stating that while being a mother is one of the greatest joys of my life, it has also become one of the most challenging aspects. I am a mother of two beautiful goddesses. My eldest is recently turned 9 years old and my baby will be 8 months on the 19th of this month. Although getting used to having a little one again has been tough, I have found that my biggest challenge right now is my 9 year old. Let me just get straight to it:

Because I am a Socially, Spiritually, and Culturally Conscious woman and mother, I try my very best to raise my girls to be the same. Now, I realize that each person is an individual- no two people are exactly alike, no matter how hard one may try to mold another. While I have to battle external forces at my daughters public school, the radio, television, books, movies, etc...(the list goes on and on) I find myself in a constant battle with her father. Note: my daughters both have different fathers***

Well it's almost finished... I'm moving back home. to my mothers house ... ahahahahahahahahah! Am I Crazy ?! I think I must have lost me mind. Well she offered a few months back and I said uhmm let me think about it I just finished school which has left me broken physically ( I gained 10 pounds) and financially ( Lets just say I wouldn’t be able to bay a pinto if they still made them) . I was in a tail spin Robbing Peter to Pay Paul(lol) Sound the offer was extended and after much much thought I said yes ( months in thought) My Future Husband and I want to get married, buy a house and raise a family and I don’t want to come to the table empty handed. He’s in full support of my move and said that it will be good.

I wont have to pay rent which means I can SAVE! It’s Hard out here in These Streets for a single momma ( unmarried) like my self I don’t want to JUST get by I want to Make it and Be able to Make it Happen if and When I want. I have some what been Depressed and I have let money Run me for the last couple of years. I need to Regroup and Get my self on Solid Ground for Our Future.

The title is the reason for my post . i know we are to celebrate the greatness of our heritage 365, and till the day we move one to rest with the most high. But how exactly are we/you teaching our children. And is the culture of hip-hop included in it ?

Do you start with your family tree? or Do you start with the kings and queens?

Just a question my sisters in light of the month
