I read this and felt compelled to share….
This man comes into my job almost every day with a free frosty coupon. He’s homeless, and he’s also of the nices homeless people that come here. He just made me want to hug him when I saw him mixing ice in what was left of his frosty, just to have a bit more. Smh, I’m giving him another free one. This is saddening me, seriously. I went up to him and offered him one, he smiled and said “naahh” I said you sure? Is there anything I can help you with? He laughed and shook his head in a polite way. One of the most humble people to come through here… Every other one is usually rude, and angry. But this man still keeps his joy. This tells me I should never have a reason to frown, if he can still manage to smile. I ain’t tryna sound like a punk, but my eyes are watering. Real shit man, smh…

The things that come most quickly into your life are the things that you BELIEVE in the most. You can only bring to you what you BELIEVE, so you must BELIEVE to receive what you want.

From The Secret Daily Teachings
If there was a particular house you wanted, or a particular relationship or job you wanted, and you didn’t get it, the Universe is telling you that it was not good enough and did not match your dream. It is also telling you that it has something BETTER and more worthy of you.
Something better is coming … you’re allowed to be excited!

Dating For Dummies {aka Women} 101
I had the pleasure of reading this post via my unapologetic Facebook friend, photographer, world traveler, philanthropist, and very successful businessman, Mike Mogul. Mike is truly a modern day renaissance man hailing from my favorite stomping ground…NYC! He provides a wealth of knowledge and awareness to the major and minor issues in our communities. His comedic delivery softens the message and hopefully will pierce and marinate in the cerebal cortex of those who can benefit most.

1. If you guys exchanged numbers and you had to make the first contact chances are its not looking good for you!
2. Never look at the check its none of your business Never agree to go dutch. Save those dates for when your an actual couple I guess the (Dutch dates)
3. If your dating a business man expect him to text a little. Agree to some limitations but don’t expect to run his phone. When its no phone time, please be interesting!
4. Some guys aren’t creative, it happens…first try to agree on a location or something interesting to do. If that doesn’t work, suggest some things and then make it seem like its his idea.
5. If you dress slutty he’s going to be thinking you want to f*ck. If you dress bummy he’s going to think you aren’t used to going anywhere special. Dress trendy with a flash of skin…accentuate your legs, your neck, etc…
6. Not toooooo much makeup please!
7. Understand who you are dating, don’t discuss Libya and/or politics with the hood dude and the smart guy doesn’t want to speak about the postings on Media Take Out.
8. A movie alone is not a good date. Everyone likes them but that might not allow for time to talk. Besides why be so typical?!
9. Never date a person you have no interest in. Dating karma is a bitch! If you have no real interest in a person buy your own meal. Take yourself out, don’t be a “food prostitute” I’m telling you it will come back to haunt you!
10. Let’s discuss the dreaded 3 date rule…some guys might expect some goodie juice after 3 dates. Although I don’t follow those guideline. Shit dates are expensive! After 2 dates, maybe the 3rd, it should be something simple… picnic season is coming. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the 3 date rule guys and girls please chime in. FOOD PIMPS rofl!
P.S. Women have a habit of being late…someone is about to invest time energy and money into taking you out, AT LEAST ARRIVE ON TIME! -

1. We are in a new era of “women”! The typical movie date isn’t going to be enough for the modern day woman. Be more creative. Check LivingSocial.com and or Groupon.com for some interesting date ideas. Ask women that you personally know for ideas & suggestions.
2. Women may be impressed by the latest trendy restaurant but I wouldn’t necessarily suggest it for a first date. Make YOU be the reason she’s impressed not the surroundings. The romantic little Cuban restaurant might top dinner at Bacchanalia.
3. Be a gentleman… hold doors, pull out chairs, order for her. No matter what’s going on remain a gentleman even if the date doesn’t go well.
4. Dress accordingly Timbs and a hoodie in most cases is not “date material” button up sweater slacks non sagging jeans. Try PREPPY!
5. Despite what you think she’s probably NOT going to f*ck you on the first date Please don’t say anything crass or be suggestive sexually. Trust a woman knows if she’s gonna sleep with you when she meets you. If she’s on the date you got one foot in the door…only you can f*ck that up now.
6. Please do not be weird or try to make her wifey after the first date. Once again most probably don’t deserve it and secondly that’s the fastest way to freak her the f*ck out.
7. Please be well groomed; haircut, brushed teeth, gum…goes a long way Jesus I hope I don’t have to tell you that (I’m guessing I do).
8. Don’t talk about exes, sex, sports (unless she’s into that) anything negative don’t bring any negative energy. Remember she’s out to have a good time.
9. That pesky cell phone needs to be tucked away. Its hard for me to give that advice when I’m always on mine but women hate it and might not put up with your shit.
10. Don’t select anywhere loud. Conversation is a must, don’t just be a good listener but be a good listener. Stay versed on current events.

Random Rambling Apology…
I’m sorry if my passionate confidence stance rubs you the wrong way… but please be mindful that if we don’t stand for something we will all fall for anything.
I’m sorry for not being sensitive to your situation… but sometimes I simply can’t be a dumping ground for the bad…try and share the good with me as well.
I’m sorry for not being has attracted to you as I would like to be… sometimes things will happen in due time.
I’m sorry that I had to see your true colors…yet I still choose to keep you in my life eventhough I know you cause me more harm than good.
I’m sorry for hurting, offending and/or disappointing you… for it was not my intention.
I’m sorry for not agreeing with you… but you must know my friendship has loyalties to you not your point of views, we can agree to disagree.
I’m sorry that you can’t see or feel how much I care…but I hope and pray that one day you will.
I’m sorry that I’m misunderstood… if you look beyond my exterior, you will see that I cry, hurt, fall and fail just like everyone else.
I’m sorry that I can’t speak to you in your language…although we both speak English, we communicate very differently.
I’m sorry that you have to endure your silent pain and suffering alone…I wish I could take one day a week to help you carry the burden.
I’m sorry that you are so far away from my touch… but you will never be too far from my heart.
I’m sorry that we had to separate the way we did… but sometimes in life we must let go of things and people to set
themourselves free, no matter how good it/they makes us feel.I’m sorry if you had the wrong impression of me…when will we learn to stop judging a book by its cover?
I’m sorry for a lot of things BUT I am NOT sorry for being consistent with all that I am!

From The Secret Daily Teachings
If you are complaining about things in your life, you are on the complaining frequency, and you are not in a position to attract what you want.
Get on to the frequency of good with your thoughts and words. Firstly you will feel good, and secondly you will be on the frequency of receiving more good.

The Secret Scrolls 3.14.11
From The Secret Daily TeachingsWhen things change in our life, often we have resistance to the change. But if you understand the structure of the Universe, life, and creation, then you will understand that life is change, and nothing ever stands still. Everything is energy, and energy is in continual motion and change. If energy stood still you would be gone, and there would be no life.
Change is always happening for the good of you and for everyone. It is the evolution of life.

The Secret Scrolls 3.7.11
From The Secret Daily Teachings
When a big change occurs in your life it forces you to change direction. Sometimes the new path may not be easy, but you can be absolutely certain that there is magnificence for you on the new path. You can be absolutely certain that the new path contains things that you could not have experienced otherwise.
When we look back at a negative event that occurred in the past, we often see how in fact it transformed our life. We see how that event directed us toward a life that we would not change for anything.

The Secret Scrolls 2.28.11
From The Secret Daily Teachings
You can most certainly help others through your thoughts, and they can help you. Every good thought you send to another is a living force. However, the person you are sending the thought to has to be asking for the same thing you are sending. If the person does not want it, then they are not in harmony with your thought frequency, and it will not penetrate them.
You cannot create in another’s life against their will, but if it is something they want, your thoughts are a real force that helps them.
May the joy be with you,Rhonda Byrne

The Secret Scrolls 2.21.11
From The Secret Daily TeachingsEvery human being on the planet wants to be happy. Anything that anyone desires is because they think their desire will make them happy. Whether it is health, money, a loving relationship, material things, accomplishments, a job, or anything at all, the desire for happiness is the bottom line of all of them. But remember that happiness is a state inside of us, and something on the outside can only bring fleeting happiness, because material things are impermanent.
Permanent happiness comes from you choosing to be permanently happy. When you choose happiness, then you attract all the happy things as well. The happy things are the icing on the cake, but the cake is happiness.
May the joy be with you,Rhonda Byrne
