Dear visitors and friends:
Thank you for visiting with me here a while. I am deeply encouraged by your expressed love and appreciation. My name is Marjory Sheb.a. Sheba is a name of Semitic origin meaning "Host of Heaven and Peace". The acronyms stand for my family and married names.As I hold your eyes and ears captive for this precious while, allow me to paint on the open canvas of your mind a wholesome image of who I am:
A "CONSCIENCE-GUIDED" BEING- Walking the path of the All-Seeing, seeking to be in harmony, of spirit, mind and body. I am also an avid student of life, it is the ultimate learning institution and I love to learn!!! I aim to seek Wisdom and gain Understanding; turning every Experience into lessons that will help me graduate unto the next realm with honors.
A SPEAKER AND WRITER- Aspiring to inspire! I am inspired by life and wired with love. I write to stir the minds of the conscience-dead and give eyes to their hearts. Writing has been a passion of mine since I was 10. I write a monthly column for the Caribbean Sun Newspaper highlighting Haitian culture and people. Recently, I have published my very first book, entitled: "Shebafied!... A Poetic Journey to Self-Actualization". It is a deeply intense and poetic book filled with meaningful poetry, food-for-thought passages and insightful quotes.
AN EVENTS ORGANIZER- Together with BA Productions, a US Media Company, my company W.O.W! Events help put forth a number of corporate functions and community events, including fundraisers and concerts each year that "Elevate, Educate and Entertain" and provide a platform for budding and seasoned artists to showcase their talents. One of those events is CAFE Poetry night: a monthly reoccurring poetry night event that fuses Creole, English and French poetry and music on one stage. Visit: www.CAFEevents.com.
Finally, I am an AFRICAN PATRIOT- I LOVE AFRICA! More than anything in the world I want to visit, in body, the land from which I came in spirit. I long to be rejoined with my people in Yemen (Extended Africa/SW Asia), drink buna with my family in Ethiopia, eat wat atop injera with my neighbors in Eritrea, play lago with my friends in Sudan, listen to Mbaqanga music with my aunts and uncles in South Africa, go swimming in the Mogadishu Leedo beach with my rebel cousins in Somalia, celebrate Sham El Nessim with my muslim sistrens in Egypt... That is my quest. To go home to beautiful Mama Africa and lay my head on her lap.
Now that you know a little more about me, how about telling me something about you? Write me a comment or send me an email telling me of your passion, platform or plight. Let me know how I can help further your cause. Let's change the world together!!! Until then, and beyond...
Be at peace. Be for peace. Be peace. Always.
Love & life!
Marj...Sheba

Be Blessed!
Open your heart to only love
Wish good for those who.."ve hate for you
Assure your faith in God above
And give Him thanks in all you do
To your own self, always be true
Oblige your heart to do what.."s right
Hunger for Truth and Wisdom, too
They.."ll keep you walking in The Light
Forgive those who.."ve dishonored you
Forget the wrongs they.."ve done to you
Give, happily, to those in need
And you.."ll be blessed my friend, indeed
Don.."t, by men.."s folly, be impressed
And be unholy, like the rest
In all you do, render your best
My brothers and sisters, be blessed!

excerpt from book-
.."Come! Shebafy Yourself With Me!..", a limited edition.

What Is The Cure For Lovesickness?
Does it heal on its own?
Is its side-effect emptiness,
Or, sentiments regrown?
Is there a pill for lovelessness
To soothe a lover.."s woe?
A drink for broken-heartedness
To make the heartaches go?
I beg of you, rally your friends
Conjure your learned scientists.
If we, with them, unite our hands
Surely a cure can soon exist
But, we must first learn to beleive
In love enough to give
For, isn.."t loving without being loved
The emptiness we grieve?
.."Tis but a lonesome, reoccuring tale
Of love and loss
That men endlessly hail
For what reward? What providence entailed?
Along the course our ignorance, us, fail!
I have known men who.."ve vowed to never love,
Who plot and scheme their way
Through women.."s hearts.
This is the ruin we see, yet seldom speak thereof
From lack of verity, we lessen love to parts.
What is the cure for lovesickness?
I ask you once again.
How do I mend my restlessness
And fall in love again?

.."Come! Shebafy Yourself With Me!.."
Come! .."Shebafy.." yourself with me!
Let go of your .."realness..", your supposed to be
self- that is never quite satisfied,
with rituals, by which, you claim to be edified.
This process will break all your traditions,
color your eyes, broaden up your horizons.
Wash out the stains of prejudices you hold,
heat up your spirit that.."s forever been cold.
Make you call .."hip..", what you labeled as .."weird..".
Stick you out like PEPPER when you are neared-
by stubburns, in subburbs or cities or towns,
from whom you.."ll be gifted with jewelries and crowns...
For your .."Shebafied.." self; your stupefied wealth,
your newly posessed state of open-mindness.
You.."ll be like Queen Nefertiti on her glorious days,
Like the great Houdini, with his tricks that amaze:
bringing wonders to the mind of the pitifully common,
dumbfounding the intelligent, while wizening up the moron.
You will love, you.."ll be loved and become love itself.
Once transformed into .."Sheba..", you.."ll discard your old self;
Your old likings, your old views,
your pointless outings, your old crews.
Success will come like all expected dues.
.."Cause you.."ll be a .."Sheban..":
a Nubian,
whose home is in Eden
Drinking life, abundant,
from the cup that is Golden
This is your chance to finally be free,
Come! .."Shebafy.." yourself with me!
