While cleaning and going through my room I found the motivational book, Unleash the Passion for your Purpose. One of the chapters is written by Laymon Hicks. I had the opportunity to meet this incredibly powerful motivational speaker through a local tutoring group that I helped out with. 50 Large is a gang pervention model that was set up here in Tallahassee to help young men be successful not only in life skills but also academically. Laymon came out to speak to the boys for the Youth Empowerment Day at FSU. Laymon was the student body president for FSU for the 2008/2009 school year. The title of his chapter is: The Empowerment Restaurant.
Here are the highlights of the chapter:
Shout to the world: "I am here to stay. I am here to make a difference. I will leave my mark in this world. It may take me my entire life, but I will not give up until my purpose and destiny are realized and fulfilled."
Ask yourself: "What should I do with my life?"
Steps to answering this question.
1. determine who you want to be.
2. listen to your inner voice
3. acknowledge misfortune.
4. explore possibilities
5. disregard the voice of the world
6. have faith in transformation
7. take the next step
8. have patience
Thoughts to think while following your passions:
I am a Visionary.
I am It.
I am a Bumblebee.
I am an Eliminator.
I am a Self-Pleaser
I am a Service.
He leaves this as his final list of rules:
1. count your blessings
2. manage your opportunities
3. eliminate old baggage
4. live with an attitude of gratitude
5. do what you love, not what others want you to do
6. love yourself as you are!
Much love and positive vibes for you!
Remember: Power to the peaceful.

Energy Medicine
For the past three weeks, I have been working for John Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth program at Princeton University, in Princeton, NJ. These three weeks motivated me, inspired me, and gave me energy that was much needed. This adventure opened my eyes to various aspects of being a gifted/ talented youth in our nation. These students made me cry because of the beauty of their talents, and their yearning to be more knowledgeable citizens. As my mind and spirit were being nurtured, my body was not. I ate horribly and by the end of the three weeks my body was yelling at me to get back into balance. We were not allowed to be barefoot, I was only able to spend limited time in nature, and our only option was eating at Rocky dining hall. Within three weeks my stress levels raised significantly and my body was so confused by lack of living raw foods. My body is so out of balance that within a two week time frame I had my period twice.
My goal is to get my body back into balance and start eating an 80/20% raw diet. I shared this goal with Matty, and as soon as I got back from my three week nerd camp he gave me a book about using energy from your hands as a way to help heal yourself. Energy Medicine for Women written by Donna Eden.
As a practicing member of the yoga community, I believe in the power of energy, and I believe that our hands are energy receptors for our bodies. When being indoors for hours, feeling drowsy and unmotivated, I will head outside for a ten minute break. I will stand in a sunny spot, and hold my hands out to collect vitamin D, and also to collect energy from the solar rays. This reminds me of the pixar movie, Wall-E! In order for Wall-E regain energy he must open his solar panel to collect sunlight. Donna Eden in her book suggests that it is possible to heal yourself using the power from our hands in conjecture with our energy systems.
Yesterday, when feeling nauseous and was curled up in a ball from experiencing sever cramping, I decided to try a technique that I read about within the first thirty pages of Energy Medicine for Women. After running my hands through the pattern described, my cramping was significantly relieved.
Amazing. "Einstein told us that 'energy is everything'" (33). As I continue to read through this book and try to finish up Born to Run by Christoper McDougal, I will post quotes and reactions.
As David Wolfe believes that everyday is the best day ever! I hope that you are having the best day ever! :)
