MY LIFE IS Fuckin Magic---but right now I'm in deep need of a mojo recharge! A box doesn't encompass all that I am but here are just the facts about moi:All n all I am a paradox--there is always an opposite end of the spectrum, one that seems to contradict the other but in reality, there is balance and perfect harmony-A lover of love, an absolute romantic in every sense of the word -A mother, wombyn--although I don't believe my ability to bear children defines my womynhood, since becoming a mother, I feel I have a better understanding of the power that is a womyn, the beauty of all that is of the sacred feminine -Bleeding heart--I have a love/hate relationship with humans, however I hate to see people and animals in pain--always felt it was a mission of mine to alleviate the pain and suffering of others somehow, felt a duty to make things right for all; fierce protectoress of humanity--maternal instinct perhaps -Avid life learner, seeker of wisdom--- I used to simply accumulate knowledge for knowledge sake, a random database of info I never really seemed to consult...it seems like now I'm really learning how to apply some things I've known and it only took ___ yrs! -Orisha practitioner... ancestor reverer -music lover--esp hip hop, samba, jungle, dnb, reggae, jazz, etc -entrepreneur- i have like a million different projects Im slowing waiting to birth...watch out future cuz I'm bout to blaze a trail of glory -student/teacher- these are interchangeable, I open to learnin lessons, especially from those whom i mentor-they mentor me; I want to sweep up the children of the world, the downtrodden, and voiceless, in my arms and nurture them, encourage sing their praises...because far too often, they are overlookedOkay tis enough for now...wanna find out more, just ask.

You know fashion inside out but you're far from being its slave. To you fashion is what you decide to wear. You've got great, if unconventional, taste and plenty of courage to put your ideas into practice, which inspires admiration; but few have guts to copycat you. I suppose it doesn't worry you because to you originality counts. You are self-confident, perhaps even arrogant, and consider a day wasted when no one gives you an interested or shocked look. Great job.

Striving to live and love with an open heart each and every dayREAD THIS: AIDS: According to UNAIDS/WHO report as of the end of 1999, 34.3 million people live with HIV/AIDS world wide. Of that number, 24.5 million (71.4%) live in sub-Saharan Africa. In 1999, 79% of the total AIDS deaths occurred in sub-Saharan Africa. More than 17 million Africans have died from AIDS and another 25 million are infected with the HIV virus, approximately 1.9 million of whom are children OR 12 million African children have already lost one or both parents to AIDS, and unless we take serious action now, there will be more than 18 million AIDS orphans by the end of the decade. In 2006, almost two thirds (63%) of all persons infected with HIV are living in sub-Saharan Africa—24.7 million [21.8 million–27.7 million]. An estimated 2.8 million [2.4 million–3.2 million] adults and children became infected with HIV in 2006, more than in all other regions of the world combined. The 2.1 million [1.8 million–2.4 million] AIDS deaths in sub-Saharan Africa represent 72% of global AIDS deaths. Across this region, women bear a disproportionate part of the AIDS burden: not only are they more likely than men to be infected with HIV, but in most countries they are also more likely to be the ones caring for people infected with HIV. Across sub-Saharan Africa, women are more likely than men to be infected with HIV, and they are more likely to be the ones caring for people infected with HIV. While there is evidence that some of the epidemics in this region are diminishing, most country trends appear to be stable. In essence this reflects equilibrium: the number of people newly infected with HIV roughly equal the number of people dying of AIDS.WATER PRIVATIZATION: Lack of drinking water and sanitation kills about 4500 children a day and sentences their siblings, parents and neighbours to sickness, squalor and enduring poverty. Improvements bring immediate and lasting benefits in health, dignity, education, productivity and income generation.Diarrhoeal deaths strike mainly the young and the old. But lack of access to improved drinking water and sanitation afflicts people’s lives at all ages. In 2002, more than 500 million school-age children lived in families without access to improved sanitation and 230 million were without an improved water supply. Sadly, schools may not have adequate sanitation facilities either. The combination of poverty, poor health and lack of hygiene means that children from unserved homes miss school more frequently than those whose families do benefit from improved drinking water and sanitation services.The resulting lack of education and social development further marginalizes the children and reduces their future chances of selfimprovement (see Figure 6). For girls, it is not just sickness that costs them their schooling.The burden borne by women of hauling water from distant sources is often shared by her young daughters, leaving them with neither the time nor the energy for schooling. All in all, inadequate drinking water and sanitation services rob poor families of opportunities to improve their livelihoods.(unesco.org)CURRENT MOON lunar phase
