Quotes:
We call upon the name of Oshun...the Source
For we are the daughters of Abundance
We are the children of Excess
We are the offspring of Much and Enough and More
There is no want in the house of Oshun
And certainly no need that will not be fulfilled
There is nothing that is within our hands reach that we cannot have
And nothing out of our reach that she will not bring to us We have but to ask
Our Mother IS The Source

If you look for me in the morning, I will be at the River...Where the feminine mystique always reigns supreme. --From an Oshun Oriki

Greetings Sister!
Thank you for sending me a greeting on July 3rd! I haven't been on the site since last February. I have been busy building my business (I'm off for the summer). I also went to Black Liberation which is a part of re-evaluation counseling. It was held in Conneticut at Connecticut University. It was wonderful, maybe you will be able to make it next year 2010! It will be a major historical event! I also am still struggling with my weight. I am very knowledgeable about health and nutrition, raw foods but am challenged around finding time, especially with my business.
Thanks again and hope to hear from you again.
Love,
Shalove

Greetings Sista!
Thank you for writing me on my site 1 month ago! I am sorry I did not write you back sooner! Now that its fall time I haven't been dressing as sexy as I was. My attention is with my daughter, who just made the honor roll, my apartment getting painted, and working on keeping my loving relationship! (Wheeeew!) smile. I hope things are going well for you too!
Peace and Love, Shalove
