InFluenza (A Special Report) Is freedom the egg whites, or is freedom the yolk once its broken?  Does freedom go into the bowl and get baked into the cookie, or is it left sitting freely out on the counter?  Is it spilled milk.  Or is it the hand that decides what goes into the bowl.  From Mount Misery: a plantation where Fredrick Douglas was sent to be broken into slavery the question was asked, "Do you mean to persist in your resistance?"  His answer was, "I do mean to re

Here's the categories that made the cut this week. Overcome- Anxiety Spirit Organizing- Being Road2Wholeness- Princess Cut vs. Raw Stone No Reed- InFluenza, Part 3 Overcome Anxiety- Hyper Vigilance has a back up.  It's called Alertness.  No one thinks of the back up until it's needed.  But there it is. Hanging out in the background; waiting for you to reach back and take its hand.  Worry does not create anxiety.  No, its anxiety that creates worry.  Worry is a thought.  Alertness is a thought.  Hyper Vigilance is an action.  Hyper actions is anxiety.  Overcome Anxiety.  Reflect freely, and trust there's a back up! Spirit Organizing Being -  It's a simple thought; a question really.  Did you know there's a war between simply being and truly being?  Life did not bring you forth to let you be.  The s

InFluenza (A Special Report) pt 3 Not in a perfect world, but in a perfectly scripted and controlled world lies the ability to test and weigh the components of one's theories before ever having to approach or engage the law.  It's mainly a white privilege.  And not just the race color white, but a white collar privilege.  There's a book titled The International Encyclopedia of Human Rights.  The subtitle is "Freedoms, Abuses, and Remedies".  Within its hard covers,

Here's the categories that made the cut this week. Spirit Organizing- The Smoothie Problem Road2Wholeness- Maybe Glamour Capture- The Muscle Callous Relationship No Reed- InFluenza, Part 2 It's been a week already?  This Square OFF we're 4 of 7 of our areas of interest.  This week my thoughts are brief. Spirit Organizing The Smoothie Problem- We've all heard of "Note to Self" but what about "Note to the Antagonist"?  And in this note, the note is not a piece of mind but a question.  The question is... a cool and refreshing smoothie or a chance at your wildest dreams? Road2Wholeness Takes a Look at Glamour... It's seemingly an ongoing question in reality and it has remained an ongoing question in my mind.  The question is, "Is there such a thing as kinky glamour?" or do

InFluenza is Here!

InFluenza (A Special Report) Nearly everything that is now understood is the unspoken print.  It's not available anywhere in black or white text, but it's available for your hearing.  In 1990 a romantic comedy hit the world of film.  Its name was Pretty Woman.  I was only ten, but its cultural label as a classic film and its overall feel good nature tells me that the writer, director, producer, nor the actors involved were questioned as to whether or not they were aware that prostitution was against the law.  Whether they were questioned or not, no one launched a silent or upfront investigation as

Here's the categories that made the cut this week. Overcome- Sunstone Spirit Organizing- Jump Over  Road2Wholeness- Beneath Destruction Capture- Catch up No Reed- InFluenza From Friday to Friday; that's last Friday to this Friday.  Yes, we're breaking the rules and looking ahead in this first Weekly Round Up.  Why?  Because our Special Report "InFluenza" is dropping this Friday. What a better way to Overcome than to wake up to a Sunstone Sky?   A week ago I never heard of the word and wasn't aware of the color or  gemstone, but now I see that there's some foresight in the colors that we chose last October for our blog series Overcome.  So The Beauty Inside-Out Beautician blog would like to make this color synonymous with "Overcoming".

Thank you for joining The Beauty Inside-Out Beautician for this Loose Leaf series "The Hunt, the Catch, and the Cloth", questions about Image and Dating.   This is question 3b in the series.  To begin at the beginning, use the label or tag from the blog menu "The Loose Leaves". (Click on the Image to open a clearer view) Today we're looking again at the Language of Shoes, and we're taking on the men; once again following the tradition set by the novel A Better Pair of Shoes .  It is true that women and men look at information distinctly different. Therefore the question that precedes this one ultimately is "How are men and women using The Language of Shoes differently?"  For the first time the four shoe types of the men from A Better Pair of Shoes are being revealed and The Beauty Inside-Out Beautician is predicting that the women instead of trying to obtain information about men will use the key to speak in codes about men.

Welcome back to (TBIOB) for a special edition of the Blog Series L.L.O. It was the second frame in the first block of what would become our 8-page 5-times yearly Blog-Mag!  And it was the very first question we posted about brand..  "What's holding your brand up?"  The month was April.   The year was 2018. This was the string of words; thoughts that accompanied this poster! "Is it one singular brick, or a group of bricks?  Is it the simple pattern of vision, or a complex braid of values? The Nubian Rockstar Brand is presented with these questions, and we think we know the answer.   Stay tuned for the Take Off!" Then came January 2020,  and seemingly out of nowhere the idea for "The Tri-pod Effect" landed on my plate.  My plate?  A place where margins and borders are often ignored, and thoughts are piled high.  Maybe it's because we've all seen a tri-pod or two, but the billboard appears to be a lot sturdier.  And though
