										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That title is a little deceiving, isn&#8217;t it? So is SEX. Its hypnotic. Its POWERFUL.</p>
<p>I’ve watched closely the eyes of men I’ve dated. In just one blink, they&#8217;ve undressed another woman in public, right in front of me. Yes, there’s sex in their eyes and it happens very quick. I haven’t really used my sex power to its greatest ability. I’ve experimented with it a little, however, I haven’t gotten the opportunity to see all aspects of my sex magic. I’ve witnessed what it can do. It appears it&#8217;s gotten stronger, based on the reaction of the selected few that it&#8217;s been tested on.</p>
<p>Ladies, do yourself a favor, let no one tell you that your sex isn’t powerful. Don’t ever think that because you had sex with someone you are the weak link, and they are the superior. You did not <em>give</em> up anything &#8212; well unless you tell yourself you did. I say you tell yourself you had a damn good time and learned how to make that power even powerful. You gained knowledge, and this may sound cliche, but knowledge <em>is</em> power. I will say this again and again: we have control over our lives. Our steps are ours. Our decisions are ours. Own them. All we need to do is check them off our life’s &#8216;been there done that what&#8217;s next&#8217; list.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve encountered men who have pretended to care about me for a small part of my power. I’ve tested the waters to see if perhaps sex is all they wanted and if there were any emotions involved. Did they really care, or did they beg like a dog to get a slither of bacon? How we so easily get our panties in a bunch over that single thought. Well let&#8217;s un-bunch those panties.</p>
<p>Open our eyes to the bigger picture. The foreplay, the climax, what a great feeling. Enjoy the motions of the ocean. Learn, grow, and be the best person you can be.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You took advantage of me,<br />
You told me things and said that I would never be.<br />
How could you be so cold?<br />
I gave you my heart;<br />
I gave you the world.<br />
But most of all, I gave you my SOUL!</p>
<p>After all you put me through,<br />
I had your back.<br />
I held you down<br />
Through ALL the years you crept around.</p>
<p>But it was my time<br />
to leave&#8230;<br />
and go elsewhere and set myself FREE.</p>
<p>See, I was locked down and I was hurt&#8217;n<br />
And I needed to lift my burden.</p>
<p>F-R- double E<br />
Spells FREE, that&#8217;s me.<br />
Yea, it feels good to be FREE.<br />
So free indeed<br />
I can soar my wings and fly,<br />
Over the oceans and through the sky.</p>
<p>I just wanted you to see, the genuine person in me;<br />
The love I had to give<br />
And the happy life I wanted us to live.</p>
<p>Rememba the nights I stayed up for you;<br />
Rememba the days I said you&#8217;ll make it through;<br />
Rememba the hours you didn&#8217;t know what to do.<br />
I told you &#8220;Hold on!<br />
Be strong!<br />
It&#8217;s just a season,<br />
And everything happens for a reason.&#8221;</p>
<p>F-R- double E<br />
Spells FREE, that&#8217;s me.<br />
Yea, it feels good to be FREE.<br />
So free indeed<br />
I can soar my wings and fly,<br />
Over the oceans and through the sky.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Her body is precious.</p>
<p>Her body is a jewel.</p>
<p>She’s a queen.</p>
<p>Her walk is hella mean.</p>
<p>But when her girls find out her secret</p>
<p>She develops low self-esteem.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">They ask why&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Liz:</strong> Why you ain&#8217;t let him hit it? If I was you, I would’ve been did it?</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Mya:</strong> Why you waiting til marriage?</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Tish:</strong> (Laughing) Why &#8212; you afraid if you do something you gon get stuck pushing a carriage?</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Damn, girl, you don’t know what you missin, just so u know we advisin&#8217; we ain&#8217;t dissin&#8217;.”</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Liz:</strong> You need some adventure in your life, you ain&#8217;t gotta wait until you become his wife.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Tish:</strong> You already been with 1 guy, give a couple others a try.</p>
<p>She sits back and takes a long sigh.</p>
<p>Wondering how they find pleasure in giving their precious bodies to more than 1 guy.</p>
<p>She gazes into the sky as a couple years pass by…</p>
<p>It&#8217;s ladies night out&#8230;</p>
<p>They all seem to be putting on a pout.</p>
<p>She listens to hear what they’re raving and carrying on about …</p>
<p>Their miserable relationships,</p>
<p>Crying about their love life with their hands on their hips.</p>
<p>Tisha is on her 7th kid,</p>
<p>But she’s going on about what her 5th baby&#8217;s daddy did.</p>
<p>Mya can’t seem to find that fire,</p>
<p>The passion &#8212; that feeling of REAL love and desire.</p>
<p>Liz just doesn’t think there is such a thing as a good man &#8212;</p>
<p>Her dude gave her an STD and ran.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Liz:</strong> I don’t know what to do. Hey, chick, u sittn&#8217; over there quiet as hell. What you got to tell?</p>
<p>She takes a long sip of her champagne before she works her way in…</p>
<p>“Well, what do I know. My man and I are 10 years strong.”</p>
<p>They all gasp and one asks,</p>
<p>“Damn, girl, what you doing for him to hold on that long?”</p>
<p>She replies, “Everything y’all been there and done&#8230; and sum.</p>
<p>Actually, it’s about that time gotta jet,</p>
<p>We ain&#8217;t finish “blessn” every room in the house yet.</p>
<p>Think tonight is the kitchen…</p>
<p>O and just so u know b/f hand, I&#8217;m just advisin&#8217; I&#8217;m not dissin&#8217;…</p>
<p>My man tells me everyday my body is precious.</p>
<p>He has pride in wearing me as his jewel and says I&#8217;m his Nubian queen.”</p>
<p>As she walks away one of the girls say, “I wonder what her secret is, Liz?”</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Liz:</strong> What, u slow u didn’t get the message? –Everything we did and sum. What, you dumb? Basically she&#8217;s saying we reap what we sow.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Mya:</strong> In simpler terms: you’re a hoe!</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Tisha:</strong> Oh.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Liz:</strong> She’s saying we need to treat ourselves the way we want to be treated.</p>
<p>If we respect ourselves first. The men we attract won’t treat us like dirt.</p>
<p>And we wouldn’t be here crying our eyes out bout how much we hurt.</p>
<p>We lacked self-respect.</p>
<p>As a result we received heartache and neglect.</p>
<p>As they were leavn, Mya said, “Did u see the way she walked off the scene?”</p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><strong>Tisha:</strong> Yea, her walk is hella mean.</p>
