Je' Suis Fit!

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 12:55:31 +0100

Hello Fit Kids!

I started Jé Suis to unite open-minded individuals of all faiths and to enjoy the special spiritual gifts that we each have to offer. My passion is sharing, learning, teaching and experiencing various techniques in developing a deeper spiritual relationship with God. Check out my spirituality meetup at the following address: www.meetup.com/je-suis

Under the Jé Suis umbrella falls Jé Suis Fit! A meetup I started to get regular, working people excited about their bodies and to bring awareness to those interested in beautifying their temple!

I'm no fitness expert! I'm not a nutritional counselor! I just want to love & respect my body and treat it as a beautiful extension of God. What better way to do that, than with friends of like-minds!

This isn't boot camp, it's just friends having fun! We will be doing everything from yoga, meditation, fitness & nutritional counseling, nature hikes and much much more!

Live a happier healthier life! Don't just live to simply exist, but exist to LIVE! Celebrate the 'I am' within you!

Hope to see you soon!

To all my friends

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:54:18 +0100

I am so grateful for all my friendships. Yes, even the one’s that appear to royally suck, because in the relationships that have brought me pain I have learned some valuable lessons that have helped align me with ME. How else could I have learned these lessons if it were not for those that challenged me to be better?

Each individual has served a significant purpose in my life. These are people that have agreed to play a specific role so that I may learn and grow. Not all of these roles are pleasant (to be honest, some are downright raunchy), but because of these relationships, I have ultimately become a stronger and a more loving, forgiving person. Every friend, every boyfriend, every love that has come and gone has aided in sculpting me.

For those of you that are questioning the relationships in your life…

Think higher. Right now you may be sitting in a toxic stew which is your negative emotion. Try to think above those emotions. Above those emotions lies a clear space where the fog is lifted. A place that doesn’t know jealousy or revenge. Take a peek into YOUR world with a clear head.

What do you see? Is the situation really as bad as it appears? What are you learning from this relationship? Is this lesson being repeated by various people in your life? Are you being honest with yourself?

Sometimes ego plays a large part in our decisions to move on but leaving a situation, doesn’t necessarily free you from it. By stepping outside yourself and looking in, you can put your ego aside and look at the bigger picture. It’s not all about you, yet it is all about you.

Remember, it’s ok, for our friends to move forward on their journey. It’s ok for our friends to make choices for themselves even if you don‘t agree.

We are all granted free will! Sometimes we move in different directions, and that’s ok too! Be grateful for the experience even if it seems like there is no possible solution. You are already blessed!

Love,
Keisha

Getting Rid of My IT!

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 04:15:21 +0100

I’m so frustrated!
This shoe doesn’t fit!
It’s time to clean my house and get rid of this shhh.

All this negativity, taking up space
disguising itself with a pretty face.

Whatever IT is ….I’m getting rid of IT.
I want my house IMMA-CU-LATE.

It's no longer mine,
I'm not claiming IT.

Your welcome to have it …but it's not free.
Self respect, Confidence and Pain is the fee.

It will keep your mind in Poverty,
Stunt your growth, Spiritually
You'll even question your Fabu-los-ity!

This isn’t a game to me, Seriously!
How I got this junk is STILL a mystery!

Nevertheless, it's all history.
Today is a brand new day for me!

My Future is BRIGHT!
My Now is JUST RIGHT!
My Past is but a fond memory.

I've replaced this IT with light and love
And the juicy stuff that dreams are made of.

I feel so much better now!
My mind is free!
I'm loving my life and I'm loving ME!

Something To Think About

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 12:03:19 +0100

“God doesn’t put any more on us than we can handle.”

Umm...God doesn’t put any more of what on us exactly? Pain, Heartache, Grief??

Doesn’t that kinda sound like are we blaming our one source of happiness and love for our grief and pain?
The truth is, we make life a lot more complicated than it has to be, often times creating the very conflict that we are essentially blaming God for causing.

We are co-creators of our life.

Do you think that we came to this earth without a plan? That we just one day showed up to this joint like “Ok, I’m here…now what?”? Wouldn’t that be somewhat chaotic? You don’t just one day go to college and then plop your behind down in any random class do you? Those courses were carefully picked out by you AND your advisor. Hmm...now who would that special advisor be?? Before we even arrive on this earth, we have already signed up for specific lessons to be learned. People, this is what we signed up for! Custom tailored for each individual.
Now, how you learn and excel in that class is totally up to you!

We make choices.

God DIDN’T put anymore on us than we can handle and neither should we!
Lets start rethinking how we look at life. Lets stop placing blame and learn to appreciate this opportunity given to us. Lets start making better choices to get better circumstances so we can live better lives!

Amen??

Why I Smile

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 11:44:55 +0100

I think I have finally started to understand how this thing operates.

This thing called life. It’s fairly simple. Although, I’ve recently learned that the simple things in life are quite often the hardest concepts for humans to grasp. So true.

I understand, that my reality is a product of my thoughts and emotions.
Well, my thoughts and emotions have made me smile today.

I am creating love and happiness in every area of my life.

Where I felt pain I now feel peace and where I felt anger, I now feel love.

~For this I smile~

I choose to smile because I know that negative emotions only last as long as I let them.

I choose to smile because smiling is contagious and can quite possibly make someone else’s day brighter.

I choose to smile because I want to tell the world that I am stronger than any opposition that comes my way.

I choose to smile because I like the quizzical look I get when others wonder what I’m up to. ;-)

I choose to smile because my life can be as fun and colorful as I make it.

Sometimes I choose to smile, simply because it annoys the right people (smile).

I choose to smile because I am finally realizing my potential and it’s beautiful.

I choose to smile because I am rising, with or without you.

I choose to smile because I came to this earth with my own Verizon Wireless team following me everywhere I go… I am not alone.

I’m smiling because you’re reading this.

Everyone is surviving through their own journey. Each individual is learning his/her own lesson but we’re all in this together. We are one.

For this I smile.

While I remind myself that my happiness does not rely on other people’s actions, I am freed.
My shackles are broken. I am able to love unconditionally.

For this I smile
...and God smiles too.

The true essence, the core of why I am here is to learn, grow and love.

I realize that life is not a task but a glorious honor bestowed upon me.

I am one of the chosen few.

Therefore I smile
...because God is clearly smiling on me.

He’s not worth my time...

Sat, 01 Aug 2009 21:34:17 +0100

Dear God, why doesn’t he see

What a beautiful diamond he has in me?

Is it worth my time

To again explain

That what he’s doing is causing me pain?

Spiritually, mentally, emotionally lacking

I think it’s time I send this man packing.

I am beautiful, I am sexy, I am blessed, I am free

To love anyone and anything significant to me.

So why am I wasting my time? Fighting for what?

Fighting for something that’s not lifting me up?

Telling me one thing but acting another

This chick wasn’t born yesterday my brother.

Thank you Spirit for allowing thine eyes to see

This obvious display of hypocrisy.

Life is too short to wait for someone to improve…

You’re slowing me down. You’re driving me crazy.

You’re wasting my time. I’m over you baby. ;-)

So I’m sending you on, with love and blessings.

Thank you for the memories and the valuable lessons.

I’ve relinquished my power for the final hour…

From here on out, it’s all about me…

Another valuable lesson learned at 33.

I swear to tell the Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth...so help me God.

Sat, 09 May 2009 11:44:02 +0100

Yes, that's right. I will be telling the truth for 48 hours. I hope it's not as tough as I think it will be. (Yikes) I am fulfilling a "Something New" challenge given to me by my friend Josh B. Thanks Josh!

I am looking for people to try this with me. I will be starting at 9am, Saturday May 9th and ending 9am Monday May 11th. It's no suprise that I chose the weekend!

Who's with me? This is a fun easy challenge that ALL of us can try. Even those that CLAIM to tell the truth all the time!

Poling is NOT for punks!

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 13:46:54 +0100

I know what you guys are waiting for!

You guys voted for my "Something New" for March, so here it is!

Introduction to Pole Dancing, Part I

Ladies, it was so- much- fun! I definitely think that every woman regardless of age, shape or size
should try it! Don't be shy Girls!!!   Strut that sexy side! Step outside your box! ;-)

I gotta send a shot out to the fabulous Diva who coordinated the whole thing...

Thelma from Kat Kalls Exotic Dance for Ordinary Women.

MEEEE--OOWW!!!!

My instructor, Morocco, was totally awesome!
She made us feel comfortable with loving ourselves.
She showed us how to move in a cat-like fashion (slow and sensual).
She showed us the importance of loving our bodies and embracing our curves!
We each had a stage name which also added to the fun.
Mine was Lolita, given to me by a good friend of mine to represent my sassy side!

Pole dancing is so much more than swinging on a pole! It's an art!
Those women you see at the clubs make it look easy! No wonder why they are so ripped!
Poling requires a lot of upper body strength which means that you have to do a lot of
ab and arm work! So in class, we did a lot of pilates, crunches and stretching to slow, relaxing music.

I took a 4 week class and learned a lot in that time frame. The fourth class was the recital where we
we got to strut our stuff and show off what we learned. I danced to an oldie but goodie...
Ooh This Love, by Al B. Sure. It was mine and my Sweetheart's song before he beat me to heaven.
My dance was dedicated to him so I worked it!

All in all, I give this class a thumbs up
Thank you to my online family for making me step outside of MY box and take this class.
It makes my journey for self enlightenment that much more fulfilling!!

If you're in the area, I suggest you check out the class offered by Kat Kalls.
It's located at the Afridansa Center for the Performing Arts in Snellville, GA.
Contact Thelma at thelma@katkalls.com 404-786-5040 or go to
www.katkalls.com for more info.

A Love Donation for Jamila Brown

Sat, 28 Mar 2009 23:43:42 +0100

Jamila is a lover of many things, but particularly she is a lover of life. She is the most giving and selfless person I know. Battling with Lupus since the age of 19, Jamila's loving spirit continues to shine brightly on all those she meets. However, this disease is now taking a serious toll on her life.

Raising 2 boys by herself and on a fixed income, Jamila now needs our help. Naturally, while in the hospital, she has fallen behind on her bills and needs that extra love to get her back on her feet.

Please find it in your heart to give a few dollars. Although, every donation is greatly appreciated, a $5, $10 or $20 donation will make a world of difference! We are trying to reach a very attainable goal of $3000!

In lieu of money, Jamila and the boys also need tangible items, such as furniture, clothes and shoes.
