Jamila, I try to learn from incidents such as the one
that just occurred. I really thought I had overcome
some insecurities and to some extent, my tendency to
overanalyze stuff. NOT!!!!!!!! I should have gone with
my first instinct, which, though wrong could still be
explained i.e. you did not feel condemned but was
simply stating the obvious.

Communicating via the message board is really dicey as
it is impossible to ask questions or get immediate
feedback. It works though, because with kids and a
million things to do, it is very convenient to help
one stay in touch.

I hope things calm down for you over the next few
days, if not, maybe you should try to remain calm
within yourself even if your surrounding is chaotic. I
don't know how to meditate for real but I just repeat
scripture or recite positive things till my action
catches up with my thoughts.

My birthday is on Sunday. I turn 38. I think getting
ready for our trip is also creating some stress. We
leave on Wed. Well, stay blessed and I'll talk to u
later.

Ola.

Ola,

     I like the idea about repeating scripture or a positive saying...I am really going to try that. It is mostly when I allow myself inside to get as worked up as my environment that I am short and irritable with them. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Happy upcoming birthday. I hope you have a great trip and take some beautiful pics. That trip is a very long one I am sure and it will be interesting with 3 babies. Good Luck to you and your dear hubby.

Thanks Jamila. I am repeating the mantra "Our flight would be smooth and uneventful" to stop myself from going into a tizzy. Does your Dad live nearby and when do you leave? Well, I'll miss talking to you but will be back on the 28th. Have a very merry Christmas. Don't let anyone or anything get under your skin and I'll try to do the same too. Cheers!

We are leaving the 21st and my Dad is in Georgia. It will be a long drive, but I am ready for it I believe. We will be returning the 28th as well so I will talk to you sometime near there. I will be repeating postivie mantras throughout the rest of this holiday season. Enjoy your sister and your family. Safe travels.

Dear Jamila,
Just a quick note to wish you a merry christmas from Dubai. Hope you are having fun at your Dad's. Our vacation is wrapping up and we are having a lovely time. Hoping the delays at Heathrow won't affect us. Stay blessed!
Ola.

Ola,

Thank you so much for thinking of me. Happy New Year to you and your family as well. I am here in Georgia enjoying the family so much and enjoying the time to sort of wind down. I will pray for swift travel for you, be blessed.

I am the mother of a very active 4 year old boy. I didn’t have
much time to spend with him while at my old job. I would pick
him up from daycare go home, fix supper, eat, bath him, and
then it was time for bed. He was cranky because of the lack of
attention, I was sad because I didn’t have the time or energy to
give him what he needed. I felt like I was failing as a mother,
but then I found my current at home business. I have plenty of
time to do anything now! He is happier, and so am I. I never
worry about paying my bills, or not being able to afford a
vacation! http://workathomeunited.com/hwbaye

I am very grateful for a web site like this. I was an elementary educator for eight years and finally threw in the towel in 2005 when my husband's job (he is in the military) sent us to Hawaii for two years. I sometimes feel so alone even in the large military community in which I live because I am probably the only black woman with school age children who has chosen to stay home. I consider myself somewhat of an introvert and have on many occassions extended the olive branch of friendship to my white neighbors and my few black neighbors. I just find that the relationships that I have tried to establish are very transparent, superficial, and often times down right phony. My few black neighbors have issues of their own which I rather not go into any detail about. My children and my husband are very happy with my decision to stay home but I often feel that I need to be "out there" making my mark on the world. Can any of you other stay at home moms relate to what I am saying?

Hey Ladybug,
  I understand what you are going through. I use to teach high school and now I have been a stay-at-home mom for almost 2 years. I can't talk long but I just wanted to let you know that by raising your children and spending this time with them you are making the most important mark on the world. My staying home was a big adjustment for me but I am so glad my husband and I decided to stay home. This website is a good way to stay connected. Well take care and e-mail anytime.

Four Point Group is in partnership with a Wellness Company. The Wellness Company has been in business for over 20yrs and is a member of the BBB!!

Hello Sister Mothers in the Syracuse, NY area. Where are you? Am I the last stay at home black mother here? I am involved in a couple of mom groups in the area, but I am always the only minority.
I advertised in the Post Standard to try to initiate a Mocha Mom group here, but noone showed up. The groups I attend are okay, but I need some sista support. Email me: cnymochamom@yahoo.com

As Seen On Oprah, Fast Way To Earn Money Online

As Seen On Oprah, Fast Way To Earn Money Online


As Seen On OPRAH & 20/20 - TURN $6 into $24600
Earn money using PAYPAL as seen on Oprah & 20/20


THE PAYPAL 6 DOLLAR MONEY-MAKING METHOD


AS SEEN ON OPRAH EARN HUGE $$$$$$$$


all you need is:
1) An email address
2) A PayPal account
3) $6.00
THIS IS A 2007, CURRENT EMAIL LIST


Ever since the internet became popular, the word "scam" has become a
daily term. I have never once tried any money making "system" outside
of this because of that very reason. However, after reading reports
on
the validity and reputation of this money making system (seen on
Oprah,
CNN, and other media forums) I decided to give this one a shot...
Especially since the so called "risk" is only $6.00. I mean, for the
chance, what a joke right? Anyway, only hours after implementing this
exact system I about fell out of my chair as money ACTUALLY started
rolling in. I couldn't believe it and for that reason, I wrote this
intro and became a believer in this system.


WHAT IS IT?


The idea is that of a system that takes advantage of the power of
compounding. And in a big way, let me tell you. First and foremost
understand that there are
countless spin-offs of this system that try to make a "quick buck"
off
of people. Long lists, the 5 & 10 dollar trees, the birthday systems,
etc...


Those spin-offs do make money because of the ease of implementation
of
this idea, but they do NOT use the compounding advantage. This system
is THE legit and profitable one. Here is how it works... There is a
list of 6 email addresses (you'll see it as you read further). Each
of
these people has already taken part in this system. When someone new
comes along (such as yourself) he/she removes #1 off of the list,
moves
the other five email addresses up one position (i.e. #6 goes to #5,
#5
to #4, etc.), and places their PayPal email address in the #6
position.
This process is what develops the power of compounding. The bottom
line
is this... Honesty and Integrity creates Profitability. Following
this
EXACT process is what creates the money, and that is why this system
has been raved about in the media. Altering the system creates weak
results. The legality of this system comes from the idea that you are
of course creating a mailing list, and a "service" is being provided
(more on that later.) Now on to how your $6.00 creates BIG money...


INSTRUCTIONS:


STEP 1:


The first thing to do is highlight and SAVE this entire post in word
or
notepad on your computer so you can come back to it later.


After that, if you are not already a PayPal user you need to go to
the
PayPal website at https://www.paypal.com/au/mrb/pal=CW4RHQW7BQJKC and
SIGN UP. If you want to be able to
receive credit card payments from other people then you will need to
sign up for a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (not just a PERSONAL
account). This is highly recommended to allow others easy payment
options. In order to place the initial $6 into your account, you will
have to verify your bank account with PAYPAL (which may take a few
days). PAYPAL is 100% secure and is used by millions of people
worldwide.


STEP 2:


Here is where the action occurs. The first thing to do is to send a
$1.00 payment to each of the 6 email addresses on the current list
from
your PayPal account. To do this quickly and successfully, follow
these
simple steps:


1. Login to PayPal and click on the "Send Money" tab near the top of
the screen


2. In the "Recipient's Email" field enter the email address


3. In the "Amount" field enter "1" (This is your $1.00 payment)


4. In the "Category" field select "Service" (Keeping it legal)


5. In the "Subject" field type "EMAIL LIST", and in the "NOTE" field
enter "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR EMAIL LIST". By doing this, you are
creating a service and maintaining the legality of the system by
"paying" for the service.


6. Finally, click on the "Continue" button to complete the payment.
Repeat these steps for each of the 6 email addresses. That's it! By
sending the $1.00 payment to each address, you are implementing the
compounding POWER of the system. You will reap what you sow!


Here is the current e-mail list:


*************************************************


The email list:


1) mustang_matt123@yahoo.com
2) kristih2002@hotmail.com
3) andsoitwaswritten@msn.com
4) zoeyterrier@yahoo.com
5) wdahni@hotmail.com
6) stephanievbg17@hotmail.com


************************************************


STEP 2:


Now take the #1 email off of the list that you see above (from your
saved file), move the other addresses up (6 becomes 5, 5 becomes 4,
etc.) and add YOUR email address (the one used for your PayPal
account)
as number 6 on the list. This is the only part of the document that
should be changed. ** Make sure your email address is the one you
have
registered with PayPal **


STEP 3:


Post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups or message
boards.
Keep in mind that there are tens of thousands of groups online! All
you
need is 200, but remember the more you post the more money you make -
as well as everyone else on the list! I've began to see money roll in
before I even hit 100 posts, but try to hit around 200 to allow
maximum exposure. Use Netscape, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari,
or
whatever your internet browser is to search for various news groups,
on-line forums, message boards, bulletin boards, chat sites,
discussions, discussion groups, on-line communities, etc. For
example,
log on to any search engine like yahoo.com or google.com and type in
a
subject like 'MILLIONAIRE MESSAGE BOARD', 'MONEY MAKING DISCUSSIONS',
'MONEY MAKING FORUMS', or 'BUSINESS MESSAGE BOARD', etc. You will
find
thousands and thousands of message boards. Click them one by one and
you will find the option to post a new message. Fill in the subject
which will be the header that everyone sees as they scroll through
the
list of postings in a particular group, and post the article with the
NEW list of email addresses included. THAT'S IT!!! All you have to do
is jump to different newsgroups and post away. After you get the hang
of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup.


HOW THE MONEY WORKS:


When you post 200 messages in various forums, it is estimated that at
LEAST 15 people will respond and send you a $1.00 ($15.00). Those 15
will Post 200 Posts each and 225 people send you $1.00 ($225.00),
etc.
through 6 levels of email addresses. For comprehension purposes, here
is an easy viewing chart:


1) 15(1) = 15 people ($1) = $15
2) 15(15) = 225 people ($1) = $225
3) 15(225) = 3375 people ($1) = $3375
4) 15(3375) = 50625 people ($1) = $50625
5) 15(50625) = 759375 people ($1) = $759375


As you can see, your $6.00 has multiplied exponentially. What other
opportunity that is as simple as this can cash in the way this can?!
I'm not going to say this is going to make everyone over $800,000,
but
within a few WEEKS you begin to see results, thanks to the speed of
the
internet!


When your name is no longer on the list, take the latest posting in
the
newsgroups and begin the process again. Simply amazing...


One other tip to speed up the process even more:
You can send out your amended post (after you complete the process
and
add your PAYPAL email address to the list) to the contacts you
already
have in YOUR email address book! It is AMAZING how fast this works.
Be
cautious though with your emailing (don't spam hundreds of people you
don't know). Combine this idea with the steps above to MAXIMIZE your
profits. I can't stress enough how this system works wonders. There
is
something to be said when an idea is internationally publicized, just
make sure you take advantage of it (especially for only $6.00!)


Follow the system as described, and enjoy your PROFITS!!!


REMEMBER... HONESTY AND INTEGRITY = PROFITABILITY


YOUR NAME COULD CYCLE FOR A LONG TIME! THIS MAKES IT THE GIFT THAT
KEEPS ON GIVING.


This is excellent seed money to start or expand a business, buy your
dream home, car and pay off whatever bills you may have. Good luck!


HOW TO POST TO NEWS GROUPS?


Use Netscape or Internet Explorer and try searching for various
newsgroups (on-line forums, message boards, chat sites, discussions.)
Log on any search engine like yahoo.com, google.com, altavista.com,
excite.com, etc., then search with the subject "millionaire message
board; or; money making message board; or; employment message board;
or making discussions; or ''money making forum; or; business message
board; etc. You will find thousands & thousands of message boards.


Click on them one by one and you will find
the option 'post a new message'. Then Post this article as a 'new
message' by highlighting the text of this letter and selecting copy
then paste from the edit menu. Fill in the Subject, this will be the
header that everyone sees as they scroll through the list of postings
in a particular group, click the post message button. You're done with
your first one! It only takes about 60 seconds to complete postings on
message boards after you catch on.


REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL
MAKE!!


GOOD LUCK!!!!

RACISM IN NORTH AMERICA EXPOSED:

Beware of racist and racially intolerant white societies in North America wilfuly engaging

in ugly deeds of racial profiling of non-whites, in racial harassment of non-whites, and in

racially dehumanizing attempts to racially harass non-whites through intimidating

physically, mentally, and spiritually; portraying their racial hatred of non-whites through

provocations and false implications, through causing wilfull and dehumanizing disturbance

to non-whites through using illegal wall-see-through technologies and audio-bugs on

non-whites' homes; through listening and watching through the walls of non-whites' rented

and owned homes, through infiltrating into their internet and private telephones, and

through using tempest technology to infiltrate as ugly parasites into others' computers'
hard-drives that amounts to illegal plagiarism and privacy violations.

The perpetuators of these evil deeds do this from their cars and from neighborhoods on and

off work, using illegal equipment slyly given to them by the unworthy cops, and then
accelerating their cars loudly and intimidatingly near non-whites' homes and driving

intimidatingly in presence of non-whites on streets, making threatening u-turns, driving
intimidatingly right up and over sidewalks when a non-white is on the sidewalk, throwing

their ugly bullying weight around, in their shameless acts of cowardice. It is all done

slyly, supposedly smartly, either loudly or silently; however, they cannot fool all the

people all the time.

The cops also participate themselves to wail their sirens abusively everytime non-whites

move and talk inside their rented and owned homes in daily routine living, in addition to
having their henchmen and henchwomen, and often, using their non-white gutless henchmen and

henchwomen in cars, transport, shopping centers, neighborhoods, etc, to commit these ugly

harassing racially profiling deeds at all times day and night. Using non-whites to engage

in racial harassment of other non-whites is an obnoxiously evil sinister humanely
disgraceful intelligent move of the whites well-known for their ugly divide and rule

tactics through using their non-white henchmen and henchwomen who just do as they are told
and are full of racial intolerance towards non-whites.

It's a shameful disgrace when the so called protectors of law turn into abusers of law

themselves and throw the weight of their uniforms and law around as cowards. So, they and
their henchmen and henchwomen, appear to be very law respecting on the outside; however,

they network cowardly to commit sly acts of provocation to non-whites all the time, which
is supposed to be legally acceptable. Is watching through walls of non-whites homes,

bugging their homes, working in networking syndicates against them, committing human rights
and privacy violations against them, slyly committing heinous deeds of planned provocations

againts them, falsely implicating them, etc, supposedly lawful for the whites? Who makes

those laws that favor only the whites? The law itself has racism in its clauses. The ugly

inner dirt of the perpetuators of these evil deeds of racism do not deserve to step into
religious institutions for their ugly deeds - such as, if you ain't white, you ain't right?

Oh! Really? The white colonialism is responsible for the world's evils today. Nicely

dressed, beautiful people, magnificient concrete jungles, clean roads and lawns, sweet
polite talkers on the outside, full of ugly stench in their souls, that is the cause of

these racist policies that are outrightly biased against non-whites. What a shame! Most of
these ugly acts of dehumanizing racial profiling depict the cowardice of the doers of these

deeds in the real sense, and are done at the behind the scenes insistence of the racially
intolerant white cops and racist white societies through their frontline stooges. However,

without physical evidence, the white cops, security, societies, and their henchmen and
henchwomen are laughing sinisterly at their heinous deeds and the legal system seems to

support this evil through its inability to take action without physical evidence. Their
racial profiling penetrates public transport systems, shops and stores to do all they can

to make the non-whites feel unwelcome in their dehumanizing acts of racial profiling
against non-whites and those who don't conform to their nonsense. The white cops,

security, and white communities use their henchmen and henchwomen who do just as they are
told and from behind the safety cushion of their oil-guzzling, pollution creating, often

dark-glassed vehicles to intimidate and harass non-whites in obnoxious racial profiling

that reflects the immoral, despotic, and cowardly behaviour of racially intolerant white

cops, security, communities and their dumb henchmen and henchwomen who do just as they are

told, fuelled as they are in their racial frenzy, thanks to the racially manipulative
corporate controlled media. Additionally, they twist the word of the Lord against those who

dare to oppose their racism. This reflects that they cannot bear the truths of their racism
exposed.

Volunteers are welcome to circulate this information to all they know to put an end to this

abuse and violations of human rights committed by immorally misbehaved white cops,

security, white communities, public transports, shops, stores, etc, and their dumb henchmen

and henchwomen who do just as they are told in their racial frenzy.

Save this information on your computers before any cowards remove it from the websites.

Racism is immoral and dehumanizing behaviour that reflects the "incapable to perform

humanely" quality of those who are racist and are being watched from God's court above in
ways they cannot be expected to be capable to perceive yet.

It's a shame when obnoxious stench of racism comes from people in so called rich countries.

It's even more of a shame when words are twisted by media to influence young minds with

lies. It's even more of a shame when so called authorities perpetuate racism and behave
racistly and enforce racist policies and behaviour through intimidating means amidst outer

sweet and polite talks. Racism seems to be prominent among so called white people in rich

countries who cannot bear non-whites from other countries of origin. Planet Earth belongs

to people of Earth. Highly educated people of high intellectual calibres, rich bosses and

CEOs, etc, of rich countries are a blotch on humanity and their material levels when they

haven't yet evolved to basic human concepts of all humans have red blood irrespective of

race.

Racism stems from social attitudes that are perpetuated by racist societies, the media, the

authoritarians, and the peers. It's time to say, shame on all those who perpetuate racism
and racist attitudes.
