Self Luv IZ a LYF LONG Quest....

I Luv that this "sleepy" blog allows me 2 share parts of myself (& read the sharings of others:-) which are like treasures that will be stumbled upon & discovered as individuals travel along the blog-forest.

I have not been blogging very much in 2009 ... and that's fine:-). Lyf is cyclical and change is inevitable. There was a time that I had never heard of blogging ... but, I digress. I announced in January I am bringing SWAGGA BACK! One way that I've been bringing swagga back is by focusing on my health and weight. In December I began a weight-loss reality "show" on YouTube to hold myself accountable for ALL to see! It's WORKING! You can click this link to check out all of the episodes of CAP's MELTING Point on CAPtv.

I have posted the latest episode (23rd) below - where I discuss hair & fitness because in my quest 4 self love I've discovered Bikram Yoga which is HOTT (literally:-) & makes it impossible to keep one's hair straightened when I've had it "done". As of today, I've only attended 2 classes & already I feel an increase in SWAGGA & additional weight-loss - making it worth the hair styling "sacrifices". Enjoy!



HUGZ Alwayz 2 U 4 taking the time 2 stop by this CAPtivating blogspot!

2009's Confessions as I Reclaim my Swagga!

Yesterday I joined several seasoned sistah friends to provide comfort & healing for one who had just cleaned her home of a relationship. As the elders say - when you do good for others you get good in return. One of the sistahs READ me & I know that I needed to hear it. Some of you may be surprised to learn that my swagga has been teetering on stagga. But, I am thankful for new beginnings and opportunities to reclaim my swagga!

When I moved to NYC in 2001 The Creator had this amazing Sistah take me in until I could find my own place. She gently shared that I was hiding - although she used different terminology. Three years ago I talked to this Brother Andrew Morrison at my church and he also gently shared his observation that I seemed to be hiding even though I am out in plain sight. In hindsight, Brother R. Fitzgerald said similar regarding why I'm a challenge for brothers - but I wasn't getting it. Well, yesterday the sistah who read me stated exactly how she observed me hiding out in the open - cuz I haven't been hearing the gentle nudgings of those before her. She stated: 1) that she could tell I had been hurt in past relationships and that it's time to let that go. 2) Despite my training that good sistahs "don't" - it's okay to get to know more than one man at a time (just play safe!;-). And 3) She gave me specific actions for coming out of hiding! Then today I stop by Clnmike's blog and he's posted a Deal Breaker list that speaks loud & clear!

Ok, Creator - I GET it! I need to step out on faith in a different way than I have been. All of my cocky rantings have not been reflected in my actions toward myself. So, my mantra (& my actions) for 2009: Time to Step INTO the light that is MINE (no more shadow boxing)!!

I love the words to this song that reiterate my actions for 2009:
