"If someone can't handle your light you hand them shades" -Lisa Nichols

At 16 yrs old she was in doubt. At 19 she was suicidal. She was a single mother on government assistance and W.I.C. struggling to feed her baby. She found herself in the arms of the wrong fellows looking for the love she didn't give herself. Her English teacher told her she was the weakest writer he'd ever met in his entire life. Her speech professor recommended that she never speak in public.

Lisa Nichols, the first African American woman to get a $1,000,000 book deal, has 5 best sellers which was translated in 28 foreign languages, owns 2 Multi Million Dollar enterprises, landed in 157 countries through her appearance on 'The Secret' and The Oprah Winfrey show, international public speaker, Transformational Queen helping to transform 1 million adults and 210,000 teenagers through her motivating the masses organization, and I was blessed to be on the most inspirational conference call with her this morning!! Subhanallah!!!

Let me just say this. It is no mistake that you're reading this. You may have stumbled upon this website. You may have been searching for something. It is no mistake!!! Allah, God, The Creator of the Universe has an assignment for you. You are the inheritor of a prominent position if only you will accept the task.

So much of what Lisa said has changed my entire outlook, but if I could leave you with just something that she so eloquently and passionately articulated, it would be this.

She said "Don't ask the world permission to be ginormous, give them notice. Your self care is not an option or a luxury it is a responsibility to your future. Most people are willing to be more committed to live inside familiar discomfort before they commit to unfamiliar possibility. Our new mental residency must be possibility. Are you willing to be someone you never met before? Are you willing to stand on faith with what you do know and find out about what you don't know? Are you willing to have a New Cirlce of Friends, to add a new dimension to your conversations? Announce to the world that the 2012 version of yourself will be barely recognizable compared to the 2010 you. The work is not on this conference call, text messages,(my insert- copying & pasting hadiths and ayats, pointing out who's right or wrong) but the work is what you do after you hang up the phone, your implementation! Stand tall, illuminate your light, because the little girl in the corner then gets a glimpse of her own possibility when you do. And if someone can't handle your light, don't turn it down so that they're comfortable, you hand them a pair of shades"

SUBHANALLAH!!! YOU GUYS CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT ALLAH USED THIS SISTER TO DO FOR ME THIS MORNING!! SUBHANALLAH!! APPROXIMATELY 0.9% OF THE POPULATION ARE BILLIONAIRES. I HAVE 800+ VIEWING THIS BLOG. IF MY CALCULATIONS ARE CORRECT 9, MAYBE 10 OF YOU WILL LISTEN TO THE REPLAY OF THIS CONFERENCE CALL WITH LISA NICHOLS AND INTRODUCE THE WORLD TO THE NEW VERSION OF YOURSELF. TO THE REST OF YOU, IN DUE TIME YOU TOO WILL EMBARK ON YOUR GREATNESS INSHA'ALLAH. AS LISA NICHOLS SAYS THAT 19 YR OLD STILL TRIES TO MAKE APPEARANCES BUT THE 4O SOMETHING YR OLD VERSION SAYS 'DON'T WORRY I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU.' I LOVE YOU, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.....HAPPY BLOGGING :)

A girl once told me she thought I was a B*@#$

As salaamu alaikum Peace and greeetings,

My dear beautiful cherry blossoms, I was inspired to share this with you today. Years ago when I first attended H.s. a girl whom I later befriended told me that when she first saw me she thought I was a B*@#%. "Why" I asked her. She told me that I was the new girl who thought she was all of that because while the other girls found a median between skanky party outfits and early morning jogging wear, I wore elegant long skirts with head scarves she'd never seen before, matching the shoes and pocket books perfectly. She just wasn't used to "that style for our age". When I asked her what she thought about my personality, she said she wondered what the h*@# I was always so happy about. Later I asked her about that conversation and she admitted it was her own insecurity because I was the new black girl, I was different, I stood out, and everyone dug it!

You see, my beautiful fellow Muslims we ARE different, but different is good. We are more than the average people who hang out in streets, have insignificant and meaningless conversations, we are Muslims, Alhamdulillah. We don't have to blend in or play down our uniqueness. We glow from our salats while they spend buko money on cover girl foundation products. We have tranquility and love of Allah which makes us feel whole, they spend thousands upon thousands of dollars trying to fill their empty voids with every type of nip, tuck, reconstructive, enhancer, surgery there's known to mankind. Subhanallah, and when they see us "different, happy, shining, beautiful" they don't know how to respond so we're deemed as a B*&@#$, because the energy and power a Believer brings will outshine any other thing always. No two things can co-exist. Darkness and light cannot exist at the same time. You choose which side you want to be on, stay in the dark or step into the light!
