SHERRI HILL EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Every Now and then magic happens in life. We all get to witness something special happening. Well in my eyes having the chance to witness a black super hero was definitely something special. Black Panther, bought a sense of pride to blacks all over the world. We will all be shouting Wakanda Forever, simply because we've been neglected for so long, and never ever have we been viewed as super hero's , so to witness this in my life time was truly an honor. Chadwicks contribution to this movie was epic and just really drives my point home about the amount of pride and honor the movie left each viewer thirsty for more. We all had high hopes that this would continue for Chadwick and that we would see much more of our new Marvel Hero.
He came he blessed us with our hope and pride and then ascended to another level. We can't look at death as a final destination because it is just the opposite. Death is a function that only the body is effected by. His soul will forever live, if nowhere else but in our hearts.
Chadwick Boseman America's 1st Black Marvel has transitioned to a higher plane!
We are all deeply moved by his passing but from one Lightworker to another I will simply say see you on the other side Mr. Boseman. SALUTE!!!
BLACK PANTHER
Unfortunately we lost this great hero. Gone way to soon, but maybe not. Perhaps he served his purpose?

FAE'S CORNER 3 steps you can start taking right NOW to reprogram your own mind w.I have some really great news for you and some other news. Let’s start with the great news, shall we? Your mind is a super computer! Most humans are only using around 10% of their actual mental potential. You are far more powerful than you imagine. In fact, you can reprogram your

mind to see just about any desired change in your life. Yay! The other news? If you are over the age of 7, your mind has already been programmed. Would you like to know who your programmers were? Who raised you between the ages of 0-7?
There you have it! Whoever that is for you, like it or not, you have them to thank for many of the thoughts you have floating around in your head. You can add teachers, siblings, other family, and TV/the media to the list as well, but those are secondary. Do you have any negative or nagging voices in your head? Perhaps something along the lines of “I’ll never be good enough,” or “I’ll never lose this weight” or It’ll never work,” or perhaps its a drive to do more so you can feel validated at work and in relationships. Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and ask yourself, “Which one of my caregivers does this voice sound like?” I can almost guarantee that 10/10 this voice sounds suspiciously like someone who spoke to you
Right around the age of 7, those neural connections crystalize and what you got is what you got. Welcome to your programming! The programming held in your subconscious mind shapes your reality. In order to truly change your life, it’s necessary to change the program running it. The subconscious makes up about 90% of a person's mind. This leaves around 10% to the conscious mind. What THAT means is that a person will generally spend 90% of their day in auto pilot, operating from old programming. Regardless of whether you think these programs are positive or negative, your ego will do everything it can to perpetuate the pattern, to keep the program running. Why? Because the ego’s job is to keep you safe and the only way it knows how is to keep you the same. This is because it can control and predict what it knows based on your neural connections. It cannot predict an unknown and that’s why new

RIA'S MONTHLY M E S S A G E Afraid of change? What I learned
Sometimes it’s just fear from doing something different because you have been use to the same routine for years. The same way you created a habit to begin with, you can do the same as your life changes. Children go off to college,or move out,so now your life routine changes. I'm a big fan of writing in a journal. Write what you would like to do and what you enjoy doing and take the steps to accomplishing them and create new daily habits and routines. We all get a little anxiety of the unknown, but once you begin your new life, you will realize that now you can focus on you, which is A NEW BEGINNING. What I learned from Hurt When someone hurt me, I use to be in shock and disappointed about what they did. It created trust issues. I didn't trust anymore and nothing shocked me. Made me bitter and sometimes numb at heart. What I learned? When people hurt you, it has nothing to do with you. Its them. They have issues and sometimes those issues hurt the people that love them because of their actions. Betrayal is a hard thing, but remember you can't think everyone will betray you because you might be missing out in establishing real friendships.

Entrepreneur Spotlight Candles by Candice
"The girl that makes scents. "
Candle making started as an occasional hobby that segued into a passion and has quickly become a small business.Like so many of us, I have been a scented candle lover for years. I’d patronize everyone from the name brand stores to the at home candle makers. I was spending a large amount of money on candles. One day my daughter Cadie and I decided to teach ourselves to make our own as a hobby. We gave them away to family, friends, coworkers, and teachers as gifts. It wasn’t until Cadie asked if she could get a job that I seriously considered selling them for profit. She wanted to have her own money but wasn’t quite old enough to be legally employed at the time. So, I pitched the idea of selling our candles in order for her to make money. She agreed, and I began purchasing supplies in bulk. But before long her interest in doing the “job” went away and I was left with lots of candle supplies at home. I continued making them on my own, but still only as gifts. I also began experimenting with different techniques, scents, jars, and wicks; I would give them away to neighbors for feedback. Before long I had become passionate about it, and the notion of turning it into a small business materialized into an actual plan to do just that. But as a single woman with two kids, my time and energy are limited and focusing on the business aspect didn’t come easy. Despite the obstacles I created a label, came up with names for each candle, purchased a domain and set up my website. During the holidays, through word of mouth and social media, I slowly began to sell them but didn’t get many sales.Then COVID-19 hit, and families were spending more time at home. This event triggered an increase in online sales of all types nationwide, candles not excluded. I am very grateful to my customers who recommended me to others as well as the amazing reviews I received from YouTuber Mystic Beauutie. Things are moving along quickly, and I could not be more excited. Cadie is also back on the “team” and is helping with research for a new line of candles that will be her namesake. We also plan to create other items such as wax melts and room sprays. Going forward my goal is to do this full-time. Candle making brings me such peace, and because it does not feel like “a job” I know it will be a success. I’d also like to leave my children a legacy. I’d like them to be able to carry on in a manner that has been afforded to so many others. Being able to do that for them will make my passion for candle making a true success in my eyes.

My story:I first discovered my intuition/seeing the other side since I was 5. I come from a long line from my mothers side of psychic, intuitive mediums. I didn't want to believe and remained scared about it until i hit my 20s. It ddidnt fully throw me in until I lost my mother drastically and suddenly when i was 21. About a month after I left an abusive relationship and became homeless with my newborn daughter. I built myself from the ground up and manage to get my own apartment. A year later my old high school crush came swooping in and we haven't left each others side since. We then had our second child after having 3 miscarriages and being told I can't get pregnant. I prayed, took spiritual baths and just when I thought I'd given up there it was the positive preg test. Now we have 2 beautiful girls who are very intune as well, especially my 6 year old.
THE STYLE SECTION
Soon as this happened I started to hear see feel spirit to the point where I just couldn't ignore it anymore.. They are always around me especially my mother. I then started having preminisions on making a course to help parents and children understand spirituality, energies and ways we can incorporate this in their life. To be able to get through lessons with ease. Knowing we don't need to pick a religion or go to church just to talk to God or higher universe. It's been so exciting working on this project that I decided to launch it unfinished at the end of this month.. why wait when I can help families now? They can also leave feedback so i can incorporate it into the second part!

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR SOUL AN ARTICLE BY SHERRI HILL
Your Soul is your connection to source, just
to the body. Your all to familiar with this process,
like the engine in your car, your soul is your
When the soul sends distorted messages to the
bodies main computer
mind it causes, depression, over thinking, self doubt,
When we are born our soul is pure and operating in its most purest state. That state is love. The soul is our connection to source. Our higher power, our souls guide. As long as we are operating in love the soul, sends positive signals to the mind and the mind responds by sending positive signals to the bodyl Now here comes the tricky part, the soul can only communicate to the mind what it receives. Divine only knows love and sends us signals that trigger our higher selves. However when we distort the soul with things like, self doubt, low self esteem, doubt, worry. We are sending distorted signals to the mind, and if the signals are not detected and corrected in the mind state, then the mind starts to send distorted messages
worry and addictions. If the signals are not corrected at the mind state then the mind distorts the body. The body then gives you cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes etc. You get the picture. Taking care of the soul is a necessary and mandatory part of our life. The soul is programmed to help us live our life from a perspective of love. Finding the answers to our problems always lay deep within our soul. So if your searching for whats really blocking you and eating at you, try exploring the soul, and find those thoughts, habits and trigger areas that no longer serve you and wipe them clean from your memory bank. After all your memory is your greatest component. So if you dig deep within your subconscious you can find the mystery to your blockages. Try it I promise you'll be glad you did.

Healthy EATING
the food fix DELICACIES TO DAILY DETOXIFY & REFRESH
With people more focused on wellness and nutrition these days, interest in a plant-based diet is hotter than ever. One easy way to get in on the trend: Pair summer produce with simple ingredients like pecans for a dish the whole family will enjoy.Pecans are a versatile ingredient and are naturally sweet with a rich and crunchy texture. As each one-ounce serving of the nuts offers three grams of fiber and protein, essential vitamins, minerals and heart-healthy benefits, pecans also happen to be one of the tastiest ways to elevate the nutrition of any recipe.In fact, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts – including pecans – as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. A one-ounce serving of pecans has 18g unsaturated fat and only 2g saturated fat.Add a sweet and nutritious crunch to this Mediterranean Pecan Pasta Salad, or swap meat for Grilled Cauliflower Steaks with a nutty and nutritious pecan pesto.Discover more delicious recipes at AmericanPecan.com.
