But, can I be honest? I despise the gym. It’s an overated petri dish; and, I’d just as soon lie on the couch in a Battlestar Gallatica Marathon induced coma, than subject myself to a meat market filled with putrid sweat and stale air. So, what am I gonna do? I’m no good to God’s Bespoke Tailoring, or you, overweight, or worse, dead!
Suffice it to say that Day One of the cleanse started off swimmingly. I called my fasting/cleanse partner, Sis Marva, at 5:10 to pray with her – no answer. She told me later that day: “Honey, I was sleep.”
What do you know about lemons, cayenne pepper, grade B maple syrup, and spring water? I found out maybe seven years ago what a Fantastic 4 those ingredients are together. Yes, to most people that have sought out any kind of special diets the Google search probably turned up The Master Cleanse aka The Lemonade Diet bka The Lemonade Master Cleanse.
If you saw the movie For Colored Girls, Janet Jackson’s mate disclosed that he was a man who enjoyed having sex with other men, but of course, he did not consider himself gay…Most Sistahs I know, would disagree – we typically believe if you are a man who has sex with a man – YOU ARE GAY! Why all the new names anyway to cloak homosexual activities. I think it is a product of shame.
Don’t be fool enough to think that people are going to keep it real, because they are afraid just like you are – afraid of losing love, afraid of being ridiculed, afraid of getting hurt, afraid of rejection, afraid of success, afraid of the dark, afraid of being honest, and the the list goes on.
Is any of this making you wonder if you’re doing something worthwhile? Are you using your voice to make a difference? Are you using the opportunities that you have to make a change? Are you using the privileges that you have to do something besides scratch your butt and sniff? I’m just saying.
