Microwave world



Living in the Western world, we are so impatient. Everybody wants everything to be done in an instant. No more real, authentic cooking. Remember as a child, playing outside, smelling the food aroma, and imagining the taste. The seasonings marinating in those large pots. Mama and/or grandmama (Big Mama) put in that work. She had greens, beans, tomatoes,... you name it! We couldn't wait for the food to be ready.

Then the food culture changed. Microwaves or as Dr Llaila Afrika, states, "micro-graves" took over cooking. And didn't you noticed how the diseases also took over, then granny 'nem were no longer living that long. Dis - eases started affecting more and more people. The sickness affected the youth like nothing before. Microwaves gets the foot hot faster, but also zaps out the nutrition and fills it with radiation. Even the people in and from the East are using microwaves in high numbers. When I am teaching my candle making classes, people often ask me, if they can use microwaves to melt the wax. I repeatedly affirm, "No", confused by such a question. You don't know the exact temperature in there and if it gets too hot, you could have a fire.

This pill popping culture is addicted to quick fixes. Unnecessary surgeries are on the rise. No one wants to work and wait on progress. Just let the preacher lay hands on you and be healed. Pay the witchdoctor for your instant healing. I don't doubt that instant miracles occur, but how many does it happen to?

Women from all over the country call me for a quick fix and I have none. How long did it take for the tumor to grow? How long have you eaten little Debbie snacks, at the drive thru or bad foods? How long have you been addicted to sodas? How long have you turned up every night? How long have you been addicted to newports or any other cigarettes? How long have you stayed with that man who didn't treat you right? How long did you keep the rape a secret? How long ago was it when you were abandoned by your father or mother? How long have you felt ugly, fat, too short, too skinny, or too black? How long have you hated the texture of your hair? How long have you not grieved properly from any loss?

It took some time for the dis - ease to appear, so it will take some time to be completely healed. Please don't ask me how long do I need to drink this herbal tea? How many yoni steams will take to release my fibroids, etc... Healing is a process and I have no expected time results to give. Your healing depends on you. Snap out of this microwave world. Make self - care a priority in your life.

I know that I do. Everyday I'm working to get better at it. Although I am totally self-employed and loving it, I will admit that it is not for the weak. Independence must be in your blood. I swore to myself in 2004 that I would never return to corporate America and I have not, but that does not mean that I have not tried. I've sent my resume and even interviewed a few times. An interviewer once told me that I was not fit to sit at a desk for eight hours a day and I responded, "for the right amount of money I would" and she said, "You are not fit for that". This stranger was absolutely right. I was backtracking. Sometimes when the money gets slow and unstable in my business, I tend to look back at the cage and think about the consistent paychecks, and try to return. For some of you, the routine office jobs are perfect and that is fine. Entrepreneurship is not for everybody. I love the changes it brings. Do whatever brings you joy, but for me I tend to get

So what are we supposed to do about the national birth crisis among Black women?

Image
Black women and infants are 3 to 4 times more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Those numbers vary in different areas of the country. I have seen anywhere from 12x's to 36x's and the reason vary as to why. Last year I attend an Infant Mortality Awareness Summit in Dallas, TX and to my surprise, the real reasons as to why there is a crisis was not even mentioned. I listened to the medical examiners speak mostly about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome being the number one cause. There was no mention of vaccinations or medical racism, which in my opinion would be the cause right along with stress. There was also a lot of discussion about preventing teenage pregnancies and other things that were not very solution-based. We as birth workers hear about this birth crisis like a broken record, but what are we doing about it. No one is coming to save us, so we must save ourselves. I am not going to overlook the large amount of women burying their babies and inf

Healing fibroids naturally.

Image
What Are Fibroids? Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus. Sometimes, these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign (non-cancerous). The cause of fibroids is unknown. http://ask.healthline.com/health/uterine-fibroids#Overview1       Over the past decade or more, I started hearing about uterine fibroids occurring in Black/African American women in large numbers. It seems that we are 3 to 5 times more likely than White women to get them. There is also said, to be no known cause or cure (hmmm, so typical in Western medicine.) The end results occurring all too often, are hysterectomies. Unless your very life essence is literally in danger, then it may be considered as the last option. Hysterectomies are an elective surgery, which means that you have a choice. Getting your precious womb removed, is more serious than most
