Wow!I have had a busy two weeks. Do you like this sample of our latest photos? We’re moving to NYC! So we’ve been in ATL for two weeks to close out our living there and get packed for the Big Apple.While there, I had a few awesome experiences. I thought they were valuable and you may enjoy peeping in… giggle.
My fun began the second day that I was back to Atlanta.We were staying at a hotel in Buckhead and there was this cool little Diner nearby.A friend on Twitter told me that my Tweets were featured in RedBook Magazine!So I rushed on over the CVS to pick it up!With book in hand I went to the little Diner to eat and read!
When I walked in there was this amazingly beautiful man standing right there, right in the doorway. He seemed to be the host of the restaurant, but later I found that he was the owner – or at least his parents owned the place…
Can you guys believe this? In my ‘Lovely’ post I talked about the important role of ancient cultures in the shaping of modern ‘new age’ thought. Recall that I had a pet peeve about it… Well no sooner do I give up that annoyance and decide to submit, than I Read the rest of this entry »
“Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.” ~Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.
Monday was my 14th wedding anniversary and I cried all freaking morning… I cried because I felt old – too old to do what I thought I wanted to do when I was younger, which is to grow up to be my mother. I felt, frankly, like I had a choice at this junction – to be her or to be me… I felt old because I was being just like her on the morning of my anniversary – somehow – I was thinking like, looking like and being like my mother… just all of a sudden! OMG. It was really eerie. There were, literally, two me’s living in my body that morning and it was like the real me had to choose to let her go forever…

Living an authentic life. What does that mean? Everyday I rise and think of how I can grow and be better and yet sometimes I don’t know if some of the things I want to do symbolize growth or deterioration. Despite my best efforts to rise above it I am still confronted with the realities of living in a society that is riddled with lines drawn in the sand and limitations. The male/yang dominated ideas of womanhood and goodness. These ideas follow me when I pass the kitchen and have no desire to cook, they follow me when I yearn in the night for a lovers touch.
I question the sanctity of my body and my choices to share or not share. The arbitrary definitions of words such as mother, wife, lover, friend, partner, sister….. I wish to define these things for myself. Yet I vacillate because I don’t want to address the question marks in the eyes of those who have known me till today. I think most of us, at least I do, want to live a life free of shame and guilt. I want to know that the love and affection I feel with and for others is not dependent on my adherence to the status quo.
What if I choose to love with reckless abandon? Does that make me less worthy of a life long partnership with someone who can accept me fully. How do I live life for all that its worth, experiencing all that my heart has the capacity to hold, and not suffer the consequences of getting out of line with the communal expectation? Were not all trail blazers somewhat ostracized? I mean Einstein, GW Carver, and others were all considered different. People didn’t always get it when they shared their process and the way they saw the world…
WOW! This is the first year in 14 years that I did not have birthday sex. Usually I trip about the entire thing. This year, I have evolved… My husband was out doing a tantra session after our HUGE DC Event last night. The Sexiest Seminar went long in DC and then we had an after party on U Street. Fabulous!
After the after party, there was a woman who wanted a personal tantra session. My husband reluctantly asked me if it was OK to do this on my birthday, I suppose he recounted the years I have gone completely ballistic when he ignored my conditioned behavior pattern of wanting sex specifically on my birthday. He recalls the times I tripped out when it didn’t seem to be forthcoming. He seemed fearful in the asking, but I said YES. YES, go and have a session with this lovely young lady. This is your job…
So yes, this post is for new Jujumama readers. I have to catch you up! When I first started this blog I was in a regular, monogamous relationship. I don’t mean to make it sound drab. It was fabulous! Monogamy is a workable plan. I wanted it for so long in my teens and when I turned 21, I got it! I married my King! That was almost 14 years ago.
Our relationship was not ordinary. We are both upwardly mobile, Howard University Grads, and trained Shamans in the metaphysical Traditions. Having been trained by elders who practice Polygamy, that is: one poly man and many mono wives, we are familiar with alternative lifestyles; have seen them up close and personal. But we decided not to go that route.
Our decision lasted for 12 strong years until one day, my husband fell in love! I did not know it at the time, but when he fell in love outside our marriage, my ascent to personal liberation began.
You could not have told me that his falling in love would liberate me back then. I would have knocked you out! Mama said knock you out – huuuhh! This was a perilous uphill battle for me.
But this is my Menage a Montage. In this post I summarize my journey into Bliss as best I can… Maybe it will help you in your relationships!
I will tell you with video (coming soon) and words all about how my husband and I got to this point of openness in our marriage. Freedom was at first strange and terrifying – Freedom, finally, feels unimaginable good. I cannot believe I am writing these words… the journey has been life altering.
This did not happen over night and it was a struggle for me to drop the false identity painted onto my skin and into my soul. Mind of my mind, soul of my soul, how did I allow Western Thought to take total control of me? Once, just a short while ago, I blogged about how I should have the right to OWN my husband’s Mind, Body, Soul and most especially, his penis!
It only took three years for my husband to convince me release the pain of the past, the brainwashing of modern times, and open to flow and a new Paradigm. How did he do it? How did we do it? Well, it is a rather interesting tale…

Greetings. My husband and I took the time to sit and do these videos the other day. Two more coming soon. Here we discuss the purpose of our open relationship. This is a four part series, look for parts three and four coming soon. I can’t stay up ALL night Read the rest of this entry »
Wooooooow! As you know the Equinox happened Friday evening, March 20. Many cultures take this time to give something up or fast such as in Lint and Ramadan. I too decided to give something up. I am giving up the word NO as a first response. Period. So my ritual was simple. I was told by Source to go out ALONE into the world on a Friday Night and say YES to life. YES, say YES to life. See that I can trust the Universe to protect me. A spiritual practice…
Here is an image of me as I prepared for that evening. I purchased a special dress for this occasion. Spirit told me to wear white, so I bought a sassy white sweater dress from Banana Republic. I did not think a Lapa would quite do the trick. LOL! It is totally possible to do a private fasting ritual in a public place and look hot while doing it! OK? Yes We Can.
My husband literally dropped me off downtown at 10:00 PM. I was alone. He took me to the Four Seasons Hotel where I would start my evening at the Celebrity Chocolate Affair. This was really fun! My work? My ritual? My Mantra? YES YES YES. I did this ritual from 10:00 Friday – 5:00 AM Saturday Morning. The results? Amazing!
The first objective I wanted to achieve in doing this is to prove to myself that I trust my very favorite Universal Law: We Only Attract Who and What We Are – Each person we attract is there for a purpose – to evolve us.
You see, I had been having a problem trusting the people who walk into my life when I know full and darned well that if I trust this basic Universal premise, then I have nothing at all to worry about in terms of who I meet. I am meeting myself every time. I am meeting like vibration.
Maybe you too struggle with trust issues that stem from a lack of faith in Universal Order and then a lack of trust for even yourself (been there) both of which lead to lack of trust in others.
So to go out into the world, ALONE, on a Friday Night with no car, no plans, no companions and looking like dis was quite a ritual. I would simply BE in places, SEE what comes, WATCH who comes and OBSERVE my own ability to say YES to it all. Why not? Why not say yes to all the Me’s I meet? Why not? Why not? (my nervous energy has me stuttering)
I knew I would be challenged, but I am committed to being a YES girl. YES to life at last! Yes We Can.
Check out my wild and sexy and hilarious Equinox adventure!
