Woooord!

How do you think parents feel when they walk into their homes and see that something is broken? Of course they're not happy, but the question the children anticipate and have their stories ready for is "Who did it?" And while all arguments seem bogus, the weariness of their day leaves them in aporia. Aporia? Yes, that's the word! Happy defining...

aporia  

What does it mean? Difficulty determining the truth of an idea due to equally valid arguments for and against it.

How can you use it? Try this: The professor had a hard time concluding who won the debate. The points made by both the affirmative and negative left her in aporia

USE IT! Be smart, sound smart, word up!

eyeHeart Fitness: ZUMBA!

What can I say about the Latin-inspired international sensation of a fitness program that has swept the nation? One word: effective!

Since its inception in 2001, Zumba Fitness has been the platform of physical transformation for millions of people worldwide, which makes it the most successful dance-fitness program ever!

When founder Alberto “Beto” Perez forgot his aerobics music for his fitness class, he improvised with the music he had, creating a whole new way to lose weight and remain toned. He then brought it to Miami where he partnered with Alberto Periman and Alberto Aghion to form a trademark unlike any other.

The Zumba Fitness brand not only includes classes, but also apparel, DVDs, music CDs, an academy to license others in instruction, and also video games.

When I visited the woman at Kingdom Christian Cultural Center in Yonkers, NY, they knew exactly how to get down with the Latin flavor. Take a look here at how the P.H.A.T. Ministry hosted an inspirational Zumba series to get the females in shape just in time for Spring. You might even see me and ♥ t i f f a n y working it out.

NEW MUSIC: Padded Sky

One of the livest bands I know is gearing up to release their next project,


STFU & Listen

With the OXYS, you can also expect the unexpected. But before that releases, the OXYMORRONS are ironically dropping their single, "Padded Sky", on a sound cloud near you. The track is fully reminiscent of their past work projects; however, you can hear the musical growth.  The Hip-Rock, Alternative, R&B, and full-on eclecticism of their records is what makes the Oxys who they are. We look forward to hearing the new project...but for now - Happy listening!

eyeInspire: Fill Up

No matter what seems to be missing from your life, be it a much loved person, a special place, an activity of great value or a feeling of well-being, release and let go, knowing that God is right now filling your need.

God’s love and goodness will always fill every need in your circumstances, every hunger of your heart, every longing of your soul for peace and assurance, every good desire for the expression of eternal life and well-being. Many times we rely on things and people who will eventually disappoint us. But, if we rely fully on God to fill the voids in our lives, then we will realize that his filling is permanent and will sustain us.

How many times have you been brokenhearted and felt as though you needed another person to fill up your time and give you what you THOUGHT you needed? Right...that temporary state of happiness is not what God intended for us. Try having real joy and look for a long-lasting satisfaction.
If we seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." - Matthew 6:33
There will sometimes be a sense of doubt when it comes to putting our faith on someone we can't see, but if you truly trust that God will supply your needs, then He will! Faith comes by hearing...not by sight! We need to stop always seeking the tangible and be filled up on His Word, peace, love and things that no one can physically touch; because God has filled up from within.

Why ask God for more money, clothes, a new this or that when He can provide you with knowledge, guidance, understanding, faith, healing, support or whatever else is needed in your life. Whatever your life experience appears to be, you have, at this moment, an opportunity to let go personal striving and let God move in you and through you to fill every need. Not saying that He won't provide us with money, clothes, and important people, but He will give us the right things versus what He knows we'll take and manipulate.

Today, eyeInspire you to think of a situation or void in your life that you're looking to fill. Then, take a moment to pray and ask God to fill you with Him and take away the desire to fill those voids with things of the world.
For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world." - 1 John 2:16
Next, leave that prayer there, seek things that can sustain you. Let Him fill you up and anytime you feel like you're on E, I can assure you that His gas prices won't rise.

Spread Love Always,
♥ t i f f a n y

What Are You Waiting, 4?

How anticipated was Beyoncé's 4th solo studio album? So much that it was leaked as early as a month before it was due to release. But today, fans and foes will have to wait no longer, because the new album, entitled 4, is here! Featuring singles, "1+1", "Best Thing I Never Had" and the infamous "Run The World (Girls)", the album has set a tone and a bar for that matter. Some weren't expecting the eclectically put together album, but its either something you'll love or as a cynic, you'll love to criticize. Despite the good or bad reviews, I'm here to let you know that as a fan, I was not disappointed.

eyeBelieve that once again, the "Queen B" has created a timeless album. What are my favorite tracks? Let's see..."Love On Top" is on the top of the list. I love this mid-tempo, pop 80s track. I love the chord modulations, the vocals and the groove. Another on of my favorites is "Countdown". Although it doesn't sound like the mature Beyoncé that we were introduced to as early as her first album Dangerously In Love and the "I Am" side of I Am...Sasha Fierce, it's catchy and fun to sing. One this about Beyoncé, is with her albums, I always expect more, but I guess that's a great marketing scheme. I think it's a well put together album and there's something for everyone.

Is the album what you expected? What's your favorite track? Least favorite? COMMENT!

Word UP!!!!


Have you ever wished you had more? More money, more patience, more time? Yea, we've all been there before, but if you really want it, I can assure you that those things will come in surplus if you work hard and trust that they will be supplied.  Today, the word of the day is...


pullulate

   \PUHL-yuh-leyt\ , verb;

What does pullulate mean?


1. To exist abundantly; swarm; teem.

2. To send forth sprouts, buds, etc.
3. To increase rapidly, multiply


"How can I use it in a sentence?" you ask? Simple, try this:
"Don't you hate that it's the first day of class, and you already feel like your teachers/professors have pullulated you with assignments?! Me too!"


Got it? Good! Be smart. Sound smart. Word up!

'Big Day' Diet Blitz

Down because your big day was ruined?

Did you ever consider the reason for the pitfall had to do with the food you ate?

Yes, that' right, the FOOD. According to a article from the Metro World News, eating habits can affect important situations we all face. Check out some of their suggestions. I found them to be helpful.

Situation: First Date (Ooh-la la)
Food to have: Wine & a light entree such as chicken (lowers inhibitions and will not slow you down). Try a sorbet for dessert to boost your energy too.

Situation: Job Interview (Yikes)
Food to have: Food with tryptophan such as tuna (helps the brain to perform well overtime). Be sure to bring a mint.

Situation: General BIG DAY such as a killer exam (Eek!)
Food to have: Foods with iodine to avoid fatigue like seaweed; or foods rich in choline such as yolks to help your memory.

Is this some food for thought or what? Thanks Metro!

eyeInspire: Rise & Shine


“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. - Matthew 5:14-16

Have you ever taken out the time to think about the phrase "Rise and Shine" and its meaning? Many times in its context, all it means is get up, get to work or school, or to jump-start your day. But, if you really think about it, and break those two words down, you'll come to the understanding that rising is mustering up the strength to start again. And to shine is to be a light even when the sun isn't shining.

Today, I encourage you to take whatever dark situations you may be in and trust that God will see you through. I ask you to not be dispirited by things you can't control. However, eyeInspire you to let your light shine. Be the speck of light at the end of someone else's dark tunnel. If you let the Son within you shine, you have no idea how much you may brighten someone's day!

Spread Love,
