Balancing Spiritual Needs with Physical Desires

Posted by 'Funlayo on Tuesday, May 11, 2010 In : Reflection 



Hello and happy Tuesday! As I mentioned in the last post, one of the ways to enter our Spring Giveaway (now underway until May 31st!) is to post a discussion question, comment or suggestion on our Facebook fan page. We've gotten a few great questions so far and one was quite timely because it was something that I had recently been thinking about. The question was:

How can you balance your carnal wants versus your spiritual needs?

I recently spoke about my love of travel and 2 weeks ago I ...

Posted by 'Funlayo on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 In : Information 
 
Blessed Greetings! Summer is right around the corner and I can’t wait for some fun in the sun! Few things make me happier than boarding a plane, train, bus, car – whatever! – and hitting the road. Whether it’s a trip across the ocean or to another part of the state, I can pack a bag in 30 minutes flat and be ready to go go go! Travel, particularly air travel, can be a real pain if you don’t have the right things. Here are my top 5 must-haves for travel:

Alaafia! The last few days in New York have been absolutely gorgeous and life has been truly blessed for me -- I pray it's been just as blessed for you! I've had my first visit up to Harvard 2 weeks ago and I can see it's going to be a great experience! I'll share more on that soon, but today I want to ask you for your help:

This year, I'll be participating in the 25th annual AIDS Walk New York which benefits many AIDS charities and foundations in the tri-state area. This event has b...

Odu Reflection: The Past is Present!

Posted by 'Funlayo on Tuesday, March 23, 2010 In : Reflection 
 


I pray this day finds you well! As you regular readers know, I do a lot of reflecting on things and I’ve been particularly introspective lately. It seems that the more I look inward, the more the universe sends people to ask me the right questions – the “right” questions being those that allow me to look even deeper into myself.  One question I’m often asked is: “Why do you study history? What are you going to do with that?” As I look within for the answer, my response is ...

Join me for a Film on Friday!

Alaafia! Namaste! Hope you're all doing great today! I'm feeling wonderful and really enjoying all the great energy I've been receiving from my family, friends and readers. As I mentioned in this post, I've recently been invited to begin my Ph.D. at Harvard University and the response to this accomplishment has been incredibly moving and humbling. I'm especially touched by the students here at Bronx Community College where I work (and one of my alma maters) who have come and told me I've...

This beautiful image found here

Happy Sunday! As promised, here are a few of my favorites that I've been enjoying throughout the fast some of us have undertaken.  I'm really intending this to be the start of a wonderfully healthy new way of eating and relating to food and I hope some of you will join in!

Before I share the recipes, I'll tell you that I use that word "recipe" very lightly because I cook in the "old school" style which basically means I rarely measure things. Just remember...

Blessed greetings all! I hope you're all doing well on this (finally!) warm day in New York or wherever you may be. I've got a lot of great things to share with you all including the recipes I promised -- who's still fastingwith me? -- but I found out about something too good not to share today so all the rest will have to wait.

I came across a great blog entitled "The Beautiful Struggler" by a young woman who goes b...
