Cause Fabulous Manifesto - Saving the World 10% at a Time

Lovely ladies! After a brief sabbatical (uh, 2 months give or take) I'm back and more Fabulous than ever! But since I've taken a bit of a break from posting, I've decided to start anew with a brief description of what the heck it is I'm trying to do with this blog! (For me as much as for you...)

Some of you may be thinking what is a CAUSE FABULOUS? And 'Saving the World 10% at a time,’ what’s that about? Well it is really 2 fold-

Part 1) Fabulous - It's a Self Love thing

I think that one of the saddest things in the world is when a woman denies her own strength. Somehow, many centuries ago the men got together and duped the woman into thinking that they were smarter, tougher, and more capable of making decisions, and should do so. That's awefully silly, isn't it? Provide and Protect, and let us handle the rest.

I'm not a ball-buster ladies. Quite the contrary, I love, love, love men. They are strong, beautiful, and capable. And, when they work up to there full capabilities (of providing and protecting) it is the sexiest thing in the world.

But when did it begin that for a man's light to shine a women's had to dim? I see that time and time again, woman dimming for men, until we are operating at half-light. Like we're scared to use our extra-strength batteries cause we might blind some weak man or weak woman (which is worse! We need to embrace the weak ones immediately! They’re the ones acting silly and confusing the men on how A WOMAN is to be treated!)

The saddest thing of all is we do it to ourselves! We begin crashing into each other trying to see in the dark, listening out for the enemies drums to rescue us. In this case, the enemy is denial of our independence and therefore fabulousness!

Being Fabulous is about finding your own beat and marching to that sh*t like you got a University band playing behind you every-step of the way!

When we fall in love with ourselves we automatically become more generous because watching another weak soul slumming through life will break your heart so bad, that you will be doing a disservice to yourself not giving them a taste of the fabulous glory that is self-respect! Which brings me to…

Part 2) Cause
I am somebody who believes in giving at least 10% for the benefit of others and the support of something larger than oneself. Examples are: your church; a charity you love; taking a stressed out friend to dinner; or (one of my favorites), treating a sista' to a mani, pedi, and/or massage. Even dedicating 10% of your prayers’ to someone who’s going through a rough patch!

The point is that we save the world by helping each other, and when we replenish another’s energy they are free to do the same to someone else. The domino effect of love!

I personally believe that God does give back 10 fold; I am a witness to that time and time again in my own life.

"That's the reason we kind of exist. It's like our Job. To give to each other. And learn from each other. To capture moments of people." Angelina Jolie. Beautifully said!

So, if any of you were wondering, these were the building blocks of Cause Fabulous!

‘Til next time, Be FABULOUS!
