Working, writing, raising children and just living... I needed something!
I was screaming at the top of my lungs about every little thing. At one point, I actually noticed spit spewing from the counters of my mouth(looking like a rabbit dog). I was so frustrated with everyone and everything. I knew something was wrong with me!
I use to meditate twice a day, but since work demands had increased, I neglected my regular exercise schedule and daily meditations.
I was an unbalanced, nervous and spitting wreck!
While browsing through Facebook, I saw a reminder from Twanna Moore, for her
Mind, Body, Spirit Wellness Experience Workshop. Here we go! I went to her website, read about the workshop and gladly pay my fee. I needed this and I always want to support women doing positive things for our community.
The day of the workshop,was the same like all the rest. Busy cleaning, making sure everyone had what they needed.
Then I made an announcement..."at 3:30, I'm going to a workshop, so make sure you got what you need. I will be incog- negro(incognito in Carriceese) for a couple of hours!!"
The girls have a deep inner-standing of what emotional and spiritual balance mean to me, so they wanted their mother to get back on track. And they were tried of getting screamed at and spitted on!
I arrived first. The hotel had a spacious lobby with beautiful furnishings. Just standing on the gleaming, marble floors, made me relax and take a few deep breaths.
Twanna greeted me with her usual friendly and welcoming demeanor. As we sat in the lobby, waiting for the other participates; we discussed life, business and wellness. She shared her visions with me and I shared some professional concerns with her. Twanna was setting the environment for release, rejuvenation and healing.
The other participates arrived and the workshop commenced!
It was a beautiful experience. We shared and learned things any person would benefit from, regardless of religious affiliation. Our Ancestors learned from nature and their environment. We've stepped away from the basics! Breathing, listening, making our medicines from God given herbs...the list goes on.
We pollute ourselves with noise(work, daily hustle for more) and synthetic manufactured medicines. We've forgotten what our ancestors when we couldn't afford doctors and the pharmacy.
Nature was our pharmacy!
Mind Body Spirit Wellness Experience promotes self-healing. The Experience goes through the importance and techniques of meditation, reviews the components of essential oils and their benefits and the Experience supplies the participants with a welcoming environment, for sharing and personal release.
I left the Experience revived, with a renewed dedication to self and purpose. I wasn't salivating at the mouth in anger. Now, I salivate when I see a spinach salad or a handsome African man(blushes)!
Mind Body Spirit Wellness Experience with Twanna Moore, will facilitate the journey of attaining balance - Mind, Body and Spirit!

Thank you for reminding us to stop and take time for ourselves. I have two children and they remind me that I should be on a beach in Costa Rica, lol. It's refreshing to hear your words speak to the world. Getting back to the basics have been chucked out the back door this day in age. I often follow your expressions where your words allow my mind to open up. I've known you since you were little and I know you have a sense of humor and sometimes you words makes me laugh out loud. Keep up the good work. Stay inspired. Keep inspiring the world...
