Tapping The Power Within (Book 3)

 

Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of my favorite books; let's jump right in.

 I found this book on Germantown Ave. in Philadelphia, inside one of those cute little outside free library take a book share a book boxes. I felt like it was put there especially for me. I mean being as tho I identify as a brown woman and all. I already loved the author so I knew I would love her book!

Author:  Iyanla Vanzant

Title:  Tapping the Power Within ( A path to Self-empowerment for Black Women)

Main Character:  YOU, the person reading the book!

Setting:    Where ever you decide to read the book. You should be somewhere quiet, a place you can really concentrate and reflect.

Plot:  Iyanla wrote this book to help empower black women. The book was written based on her own personal experiences. This book provides "self-help" techniques for women seeking spiritual development.  

Personal Endorsement:  I thoroughly enjoyed this book from cover to cover. I have always been interested in rituals that help you become a better person; I was stopped from enjoying this kind of spiritual journey due to being told that this kind of behavior was evil. I never believed that, but didn't do any kind of research for a long time to debunk that myth. My favorite part of this book is when she said, Spirituality is recognition of your connection to the essence of the creator as the source of your power. Spirituality is not religion, for it does not matter to which church you belong or the religious philosophy you follow. Religion is the way, the rules & regulations used to approach the concept of God. Spirituality simply means that you recognize & accept your individual connection to the creator & use that "spiritual connection" as your guiding force!

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

     My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...

Surviving LA part II

  As the LA housing search continues...      We found ourselves on the streets & out of money for a couple weeks due to the Beverly Hills swindle & the cost of staying in hotels. On day one on the streets, we both worked a night shift and spent the day sleeping in our storage unit, Day 2 was the Santa Monica/Venice beach night, sleeping in our tent & fighting a serious wind till the morning. On day 3 we fought with the wind again more severe in our tent at the Venice Graffiti walls on the beach & lost. We dramatically packed up fighting the wind the whole way & ended up camping not too far away in Penmar park. The good thing about this was that they had a bathroom available.       The hauk was out too that night it was so cold, I thought I was gonna die from hypothermia. I don't even know how I made it through the night. All I know is that I was not prepared for this! The universe carried me into day 4 & we both again worke...
