Peace & blessing family,

I would like any and all to join me in a 1 day fast from Sun up to Sun down on Thursday October 15th.

The purpose for this fast is to UNITE us ALL & do away with the word CAN'T at the same time..there is NOTHING WE CAN'T DO!! Everything is possible even fasting if you have never done it. Fasting should be a part of our regular diet as it was with our ancestors & by fasting we will be more in tune with them. Dis-unity is the #1 killer amongst our people & thru fasting we can turn Dis-unity into UNITY by harmonizing our spirits thru fasting.

I'm just asking that we abstain from food for approximately 12 hours. Water and herbal tea W/ out milk and sugar are permissable during the fasting hours.

- please only respond if you are "willing" to fast on this day! Please don't respond with negativity, or trying to discourage others

If you are and have never fasted b4 I will give you my #, E-mail whatever you need and I will help you thru the day.......

"knowledge is all the food we need"

Peace & paradise!

Hi Brother Info-moetry!

I'm looking forward to fasting with you. I hope others join this effort to bring unity back to the black community. To often we stand divided. It's time we reacquaint ourselves with each other. Familiarize ourselves with the act of togetherness, bringing forth trueself, growth, and love.

Come on family, Lets set new standards for the way we interact with each others.

One People, One Voice, One Mind, One Internal love!:kiss1:

Join us!

Thank you Purple and Drizz,

I hope others will join in and put their words into action on this day with us. We talk about uniting all the time & what better way than to take the first step than with all of our combined energy focused on the same goal for 1 day!!

peace

:hi:
This is a fabulous idea
I was preparing myself for a 3-day fast as we speak and this is a great way to start.
I'm hopping aboard this train of LOVE

UNI-TY....I'm in. But I do have a quick question brother Info... can I juice?

Thank you Queen Abena, yes hop on board we have plenty of room. A 3 day fast, that's perfect timing it will actually take you right thru the weekend!


Thank you Sonnee, sorry but no juicing.........Juicing is the same as eating, just in liquid form. The only thing we are allowed to touch is water, either cold or hot. If you have tea, please make it herbal and no sugar or milk added as both of those are also considered food...


Only from Sun Up to Sun down, we CAN do it family!!!!!!

think about it: This is why the creator gave the body a need for sleep (FAST), cause he/she knew if we did not we would eat all day and night therefore shortening our years. This is why the first meal in the morning is called BREAK - FAST!!

Peace

Count me in too :star:

UNI-TY....I'm in. But I do have a quick question brother Info... can I juice?

Sorry Poetic,

yes honey is considered a food............so :nono:

Count me in...a question...i take meds I am to eat with taking them so i wont get sick ...How can i get around this to fast?


if you have to eat to take the pills, it probably is not wise to fast as it would interfere with your meds..................

Count me in too :star:


Peace God,

that's what I'm talkin' about........pleasure to have you join us!!

I'm in Family !!!!

This is great ... thank you Brother Info!

:heart:

Destee

Gee whiz, let me start preping now, by the 15th...I'll be good to go.

*preping myself in private*

I can do this ...
I can do this...
I can do this...
I can do this...


ps... jsut joking...
I love the idea of fasting, by all means...count me in

Thanky you Destee & Queen............

your energies in this righteous cause are greatly appreciated!!


You can do it Queen
You can do it Queen
you CAN do it...............


SATURDAY THE 15TH FAMILY...............SUN UP TI'LL SUN DOWN.......& let us reflect on all of the recent tragedy on this day as well & you will find that you don't think of food when you think of others and how their situation is worse than yours.........(just one for us to grow on)

If your stomach growls, it is not that you are hungry your stomach is a clock & it is just used to eating around that time of day so it goes off like an ALARM waking you up in the morning!

"the mind is infinite" - Power to you all

- if any one has any urge to eat on the 15th, please come into the chat room & I will be there most of the day to help you thru it..............

To add on to this decision, I think we ALL should fast ALL DAY on October 31 (Halloween) as well.

why is that brother CD?

- glad to have you joining us too fast on this day brother!!

Count me in...a question...i take meds I am to eat with taking them so i wont get sick ...How can i get around this to fast?

On second thought mzblk, since you have too eat while taking pills you can do a "Meatless" fast on this day.....therefore making it a win win situation!!

can you take you pills with a salad or some fruit/vegeatables & just drink plenty of water all day..........

This way you will still be fasting with us!

Golden Corral.. all you can eat buffet

Steak.. check!
Chicken... check!
Pasta... Check!
Veggies.. check!
Sweeto Potato Puddun.. triple check!
Bananna Puddin.. check...
Peptol Bizmol.. check!
:time:

:wine: check

.....
geeze.. only 4 days left!

Peace Info, I think this is a great idea. This can be the training ground for longer periods of fasting as well being done on a scheduled basis. I'm in.

a Question?
Will fasting have an effect on my glaucoma medicine?...lol..joking
I'm glad to b aboard

Sun up to sun down? Hmmmm....well, where I live, I don't see the sun yet? I had to give this a lot of thought, cause I didn't want to say I'd join, only to end up with some kind of sandwich in my mouth, but, yes, I'll join in....

Sorry sista Purple, but I had to be honest, lol. Okay then, let's think about water. Crystal clear, refreshing...water. Icy, chilled, thirst quenching...water. H20, leaving our mouths so fresh, and so clean. Ahhhhh!!!! How ya like me now? Better, yes?
*Singing* I know we can make it work, I know we can make it if we try...Oh yes we can, I know we can can, yes we can can, oh why can't we, if we wanna, yes we can can!!!!

hahahaha! Man this is not going to be easy for me. My nephew just walked in here with some crispy waffles, with creamy butter, and syrup dripping all down the sides.

Sister, I just looked away and held on tight to my water. lol It's definately going to be on today. The battle of the body and mind. Just to think, that was only one nephew, I got about three more nephews, a neice, daughter, and son, to watch eat.:bully:

The pressures on! I can do this! Yes, I can!:kickball: (Smiling sideways):peace:

I had fun too! Yall some crazy folks! I ready to do this again. Next time, hopefully, there will be more of us fasting for oneness. It was truly a wonderful experience.

:peace:
OOHHHH WEEEEE
I got the ultimate lesson in "Fighting Temptation" on saturday.

I enjoyed the fast but oh boy it couldnt have been on a more difficult day.
We were catering on that day and it was food in every direction. Cakes and pies to my right, veggie dishes to my left, and everything else in between. LAWDDDDDD, lol. But i didn't give in. :) . It was a great feeling also to know what it's like to "not have" just makes you more appreciative of what I do have.

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:

Well done sis

Hey Family...

Just thought I would add that I too enjoyed the fast. This was a very powerful, fun & fulfilling experience.

I have to admit tho... I was having visuals of a bowl of cereal as soon as my eyes opened, and then from there.... when I turned on the T.V. there was adv. for a Juicer, man they were juicing everything... and my question to brother Info prior the fast was... "can I juice" hmmmmm... I must say I was tempted.

Thank you brother Info for all your encourgement.

Much Love Family
