My very smart, aware and ever evolving brother said to me a while back that there is and will always be a significant difference between boys and MEN. He shared a strong and poignant opinion that a lack of self respect often the self hatred , absence of love, abuse, or negative cultural conditioning will always impact whether or not someone who is biologically a man is truly that (an adult man) mentally and socially. He and I both believe that it is indicative most often in the way a man treats a woman. I can tell you some stories. There are boys over 30, 40 and even older and  there are men under 20 years old walking this earth.   I have a 2 year old nephew who runs to open the door for the women in the family and tries to take grocery bags and carry them to the table when we women enter the house with them.He's just a boy biologically and he is watching and learning from his father. I consider and would call those that are biologically men but not socially men .. "Old...

I am posting this at 11:11PM on 1.1.11 -  I have a personal mantra that I have been sharing over the past several days. It is an expression of my belief:" My earth will be like heaven in Twenty eleven!"  I am dedicated to good things happening. So at almost a full 24 hours into this new decade, I am going to share a quick numerology lesson and essentially  give a review of today and the last day of 2010.  ‎1/1/11- Everything upright!1+1+1+1=4. Four is a lucky number. You, your God, a person of mutual choice and the fourth is the absolute magic that the three of you create. Everything upright!!!! There are four regions of the earth. North, South, East, and West. Four is the number of elements that make up this existence.   Air, fire, water, earth. The day is divide into four parts.  Morning, afternoon, evening and midnight. Midnight - The dawn of a new day .. and in the case of  yesterday..a new decade My lesson for that final day o...

Imagine that every blade of grass and every raindrop has an angel commissioned to make them do what they do.  "Grow" says one angel and" fall to the earth" says another.   Please trust me when I tell you we all have an angel focused on our purpose. #HOLDON! You are okay. You are okay. You are a gift to the earth. You are supposed to be here in this time with this experience. The entire Universe needs you to go through it to frame the bounty that will be recalled as YOUR LIFE.  Feel free to say  THANK YOU now. No matter what you do make sure it is evident to you and your angel hard at work on your behalf that you are indeed HOLDING ON. - Love, light, Namaste! Adrienne

Fl ashback 1996:  There was so much going on and there always is. I woke up. I felt a racing inside.  It was as if the blood inside of me had congealed and taken on race car status.  The rush. I asked myself -  Is this just coming awake?  Or is it that thing called anxiety? Why would I be anxious? I was dutiful, prayerful ( and now still I am) . I  was doing this every day.  It was law school. One of the best in the nation. Makes me a best too no? Get up, get washed, rub and oil down.  Brush and separate. Push up against the mirror.  Check my pores. Hot rag. Cold rag.  Smooth my brows. Rub the back of my neck. Smile at myself.  Check my booty.  Rise on my toes.  Stretch my body.  Dress. Find my keys Grab my 15 pound bag of books I go.  Day after day ...I went.  One day ... I stopped.  Looked at myself.  Deeper. From Terence A. Scott's upcoming Stripped Awakened 1997 to Present day No that...

So here I am again ..Realizing that as I start to write this...it is November 18, 2010 and that Thanksgiving is a week away. We know that the holiday ( Holy Day) conjures up all kinds of emotions and the getting together of friends and family.  I think of many Thanksgivings when I was a child and as such,  if we were with extended family, I sat at the "children's table." I now think about that time and what the differences were between those tables. You had to be a certain age to sit at the "adults table" and in truth I always seemed to have the attention of some adult in the room so I did not think I was missing anything. I did notice though that the fine china would be what the adult table was set with and while the (we) children had breakable plates there were no wine glasses, sharp utensils, or alcoholic beverages within our reach. We laughed and played with each other and sometimes our food. The children's table essentially was the safe place wi...

  It seems sometimes that the reason we exist is to fill emptiness. A good way we get to the meaning of who we are is through the experience of emptiness. For some of us it is the striving and the struggle to fill that emptiness that defines us and others around us.   This thought came to me today and it put into perspective many things that are happening now in our world  at large ....and so you know, I had to share. It truly applies to almost anything that we are involved in or rather that we involve ourselves in. Things coming to be what they are or what people would  like them to be requires acts that we believe are necessary when filling a void. No child is born without one cell coming into another.  Sperm goes  into egg (literally) and even before that be it in vitro or otherwise...well you know. Fetus grows into empty womb. Dare I say that our birth is our fullness.We come into being from something once empty already being filled. So thi...
