CLAERING THE CLUTTER FOR A BETTER YOU

Clearing the Clutter for a better you I approached my better half with the wonderful idea of “Clearing the Clutter” he was in complete agreement with the idea he went on to rave about all the available space we would have after the clearing which is absolutely true however, I was not just focusing on clearing space but also lots of complex issues that we allow to complicate our lives . Family, finances, children, relationships, jobs, friends, co-workers etc. There’s two many to name so we decided to start breaking it down on paper according to precedence this process will help us identify and eliminate any undo stress and or distractions in our everyday lives. We agreed on many situations we needed to remove ourselves from and then there was some that we simply can’t rid ourselves of so for those particular issues or situations we decided to evaluate and strategize on how to approach or shall I say reproach the obstacle with more productivity and enthusiasm using our weakest points as our greatest priority will allow us to move forward without getting burned out. We plan to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative by all means necessary these are some very small tips for big improvements, this is our way of “clearing the clutter for a better you”

A NEW “BLACK” AMERICA

A NEW “BLACK” AMERICA




Hubby and I love to read a lot unfortunately not the same literature, after 19yrs. Of marriage who knew. Chris my husband reads more informative and prudent literature myself on the other hand am a superfluous reader none the less I’m still a reader. I was at the bored point in my reading I needed more I wanted more so intern I put novels on hold. We happen to be attending an event that showcased some authors so we decided to check them out, after carefully reviewing the authors and titles we finally found one that sparked our interest A NEW” BLACK” AMERICA Averting a Future Of Social Ills Self Help Book Author: Vernicia Malveaux. We spoke with Vernicia (very pleasant woman) and found her to interesting so we purchased an autographed copy of her book. Who knew that this one book would be our households topic of conversation for the next month as I would read this book and put it down to take a break here comes hubby picking it up to read which in itself became annoying as I waited for him to put it down where he found it so I could resume reading, this went on for a few weeks which always ended in a discussion or debate about the topics in this book. My first initial opinion was why is she bashing the African American community like this? Well, hubby had his thoughts as well but, the more we read the more things became apparent to us, we both agree not only does Vernicia address our social ills but, she offers solutions. In this book specific questions and answers are aimed at us the African American community with topics such as child abuse, nest egg, finances, family, religion, crabs in the barrel syndrome, Etc. Along with “65 remedies for social ills that have plagued our community” Yes remedies people because I’m black me and my husband can relate to the touchy subjects Vernicia addresses we recommend everyone to get a copy of this book so that we may all work together to fight social injustice and more. As Vernicia and many before her would say” REACH ONE, TEACH ONE”. U YOURSELF CAN VISIT VERNICIA'S WEBSITE @
