I open my Bible and read. I believe the Lord will give me the right verse to read to get me back into reality and that I am resposible for what comes out my mouth and my actions and not what someone else do or say.
Well i just took the free stress test. And good news it said i had a low level of stress, and that i am doing a good job. Ladies!!!!!!! All of you should take one. If you already have taken one i know it was good. Because all a stress test proves to your mind is that you are handling your business the best way you know how. See don't look at others because too much is going on with you. Only let people in your inner circle that come with results. GOOD RESULTS, what that means to who-ever. SEE we all are here to help each other. YOU taking care of yourself will reflect everything around you, good or bad. Stevie Wonder said it best - LOVE IS A SELFLESS THING, BUT YOU CAN NOT LOVE SOMEBODY IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOURSELF! So think about if there is something in your life that is pulling you down. Face it, deal with it, then release it. Don't worry about it. Because if you do what you are supposed to do all the time, somebody has already taken care of you.
But if not the offer still stands for - how did keisha cole say it? I CHANGED MY MIND. Think about it - it's your choice if you stress or be stressfree.
I once was blind, now i see can't yall tell I'm stress free.
Love,stressfree,and peace

I do believe the stress effects my health. However, I strongly believe my expectations and what I want to do but can't due to finances increases my stress level which eventually effects my health. Many women who are celebrities say "We want to give back, or we understand what people are going through because they walked in those shoes." I know 1 celebrity can't help everyone but its some women out here in the world who really need the help and would like to know what they need to do just for someone to listen. It seems those who are fortunate forget the struggle and begin to be greedy with their wealth. Poor people aren't the only one's struggling to be heard. I have written a manuscript and you wouldn't believe how many celebrities have turned me down or not respond at all. However, the author of Harry Potter books continue to tell the world her stories. She refuse to listen to a woman on welfare who writes books currently. I'm starting to babble. Maybe if us women come together with honesty and networking we can begin to lower the stress in our lives.
