Ever hear a song with Hebrew, spanish, Sanskrit and reggae flowing as one? It is an experience worth having, and also a message worth hearing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You are forever pure.&lt;br /&gt;You are forever true&lt;br /&gt;and the dream of this world&lt;br /&gt;can never touch you.&lt;br /&gt;So give up your attachment&lt;br /&gt;and give up your confusion&lt;br /&gt;and fly to that space that's beyond&lt;br /&gt;all illusion."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Shimshai from the song "Suddhosi Buddhosi" off the album "Live on Maui"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Pure, pure like the water,&lt;br /&gt;let it run forever more,&lt;br /&gt;to be clean, clean as the waves&lt;br /&gt;come crashing to the shore.&lt;br /&gt;It leaves me&lt;br /&gt;smooth, smooth as a pebble,&lt;br /&gt;polished in the depth of love&lt;br /&gt;carried by the winds of grace&lt;br /&gt;on the wings of a dove.&lt;br /&gt;...&lt;br /&gt;Arise and awake from your slumber&lt;br /&gt;Kindle ancient flame&lt;br /&gt;as witness to the waves of what's to change&lt;br /&gt;though the essence remains the same."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~ Shimshai from the song "&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Pure/dp/B0012A1Z2Y"&gt;Pure&lt;/a&gt;" off the album "Deliverance"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you like his message, you can read more about this beautiful music and what its message can mean in your life in the longer article I wrote on my blog today called &lt;a href="http://www.indigo-ocean.com/2009/09/singing-for-your-freedom.html"&gt;Singing for your Freedom&lt;/a&gt;. Also find links to where you can listen to the songs or purchase downloads of them.

AND you can &lt;a href="http://www.blackplanet.com/howfarcanyougo/" target="_blank"&gt;upload your own video&lt;/a&gt; like &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TW1qpgkS1w"&gt;mine&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;MY RULES ON LIVING YOUR DREAMS&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) &lt;strong&gt;BELIEF and HOPE &lt;/strong&gt;are not the same thing. Many of you call me or hit me up on &lt;a href="http://www.blackplanet.com/planetabiola"&gt;BP&lt;/a&gt;, on &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com"&gt;my site&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/abiolatv"&gt;twitter&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TW1qpgkS1w"&gt;youtube&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/abiolatv"&gt;facebook&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/abiolatv"&gt;flickr&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://blog.planetabiola.com/"&gt;tumblr&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.myspace.com/abiolatv"&gt;myspace&lt;/a&gt; asking how to live your dreams -- how to write YOUR own BOOKS, shoot YOUR own FILMS and create TV. Question: Are you &lt;em&gt;hoping&lt;/em&gt; or &lt;em&gt;believing&lt;/em&gt;? Think about it. BELIEVE with your language &amp;amp; your actions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) &lt;strong&gt;GRATITUDE. &lt;/strong&gt;I've met many wonderful new fans from playing Miss Picky on VH1's &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com/id204.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tough Love&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; BUT many of you, &lt;a href="http://www.blackplanet.com/planetabiola"&gt;MY BP FAM&lt;/a&gt; were RISING with me while I was hosting BET's &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com/id3.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Best Short Films&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; for 2 years, reading my novel &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com/id28.html"&gt;DARE&lt;/a&gt;, and YOU have made my online show &lt;a href="http://www.planetabiola.com"&gt;PLANET ABIOLA&lt;/a&gt; a huge success. BECAUSE OF YOU the VH1 producers &amp;amp; Drew Barrymore found me! Because of YOU, Busta Rhymes, Young Lloyd, Ashanti, Patti Labelle, Eric Benet, Blitz and LL Cool J call Planet Abiola when they have a new project. Thank you! I'm just getting started, but I am grateful. Wherever YOU with your goals right now, be GRATEFUL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) &lt;strong&gt;MENTORSHIP.&lt;/strong&gt; Hundreds of great people have asked me to mentor them and I can't -- otherwise I would never get my books and shows done. I tell them to USE ME though. Your mentors don't have to know that they are your mentors. Read their books, watch their work, interact with them online, subscribe to everything they have -- study them!! TAKE the knowledge you need to succeed. If you're an aspiring lawyer, find a mentor &amp;amp; STUDY them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4)&lt;strong&gt; RISK. Don't fear &lt;/strong&gt;NEW things. USE TECHNOLOGY! When new sites and tools come out that may be relevant to my business I LEARN by doing. I take my HP Mini everywhere because my readers, viewers, online communities and fan base are important. I use my netbook daily to send out my "&lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com/id12.html"&gt;Today's Goddess XO&lt;/a&gt;" inspirational tweet, I &lt;a href="http://blog.planetabiola.com/"&gt;lifestream&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/abiolatv"&gt;photo journal&lt;/a&gt;, blog on my &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Abiola-Abrams/e/B002JEIVJM"&gt;Amazon Author Page&lt;/a&gt;, record &lt;a href="http://vimeo.com/abiolatv"&gt;video diaries&lt;/a&gt;, test &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDj4V4-pmdY"&gt;new characters&lt;/a&gt;, review episodes of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.planetabiola.com"&gt;The Planet Abiola Show&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&amp;amp; my &lt;a href="http://www.saynow.com/planetabiola"&gt;SayNow messages&lt;/a&gt;. Jump in! Be about it-- not just talk about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) &lt;strong&gt;POSITIVITY. &lt;/strong&gt;Are you somebody that passes your negativity on to others? Sometimes I read so many nasty comments online it makes my stomach hurt. You beef and gripe then on positive posts you say nothing. Be conscious of what YOU are giving off. There are only two true emotions: Love and Fear. Which one are you sharing? Speak also to yourself with love. We may not always succeed, but we dust ourselves off, try again and get better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) &lt;strong&gt;CREATE. DIY.&lt;/strong&gt; Do for self. If you want to write a book, don't wait for permission. WRITE-- for 15 minutes every day. If you want to create TV or film -- GO FOR IT. With a computer &amp;amp; a phone that has a camera you can create anything. Don't have a video camera? Get creative with stills.  Although I had a book deal with Simon and Schuster I used &lt;a href="http://www.blackplanet.com/planetabiola"&gt;my blackplanet page&lt;/a&gt; to sell 10,000 books! I want a RADIO SHOW so I &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com/id4.html"&gt;PODCAST&lt;/a&gt;. Even though I have hosted shows like The Buzz for HBO, Source Hip Hop News for NBC or The Best Shorts on BET, I created MY OWN web show.&lt;em&gt; The Planet Abiola Show &lt;/em&gt;will be on TV soon BUT I will ALWAYS be on the web with you &amp;amp; DOING for SELF!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) &lt;strong&gt;HAVE FUN &amp;amp; SEEK JOY. &lt;/strong&gt;My life is FUN and my WORK is FUN! Not every day in every area, of course, but I am always REACHING for JOY. Like you, I'm a HUGE work in progress. My main goal is to be better than I was yesterday. In my proudest moment I was on book tour for my novel DARE as a result of my online marketing. A few screaming fans came running up and I assumed they knew me from TV but they knew me from watching &lt;em&gt;The Planet Abiola Show &lt;/em&gt;and having fun on my blackplanet page and website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8) &lt;strong&gt;COMMUNITY. &lt;/strong&gt;This is the second year that I've had a relationship with blackplanet. THANK YOU if you are one of my almost 500,000 friends at www.blackplanet.com/planetabiola and blackplanet.com/abiola_abrams. My blackplanet friends are people who use their brains, use the web, do research, know that everything they see on TV is just entertainment and create truth for themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) &lt;strong&gt;SHARE. &lt;/strong&gt;Using pop culture to empower and entertain in unexpected ways has always been my mission. MY MOTTO is if you don’t like who’s representing you, REPRESENT YOURSELF. It's not easy sharing my life, loves and fears in books or on "reality TV." It's a RISK but it's my job to represent myself and those like me. NOW I am excited to see what YOU create. I know how much TALENT you have. You came to the PLANET with a PURPOSE...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) &lt;strong&gt;RISE AND SHINE ON. &lt;/strong&gt;Of course there are HATERS in any community who have loud voices, but I love that the beautiful people here ALWAYS shine through! I see you shining. MY MAIN RULE: &lt;strong&gt;BE a Shameless Self-Promoter, like &lt;em&gt;moi!&lt;/em&gt; lol. BE your FUN, WEIRD, QUIRKY, INDIVIDUAL self and give&lt;em&gt; the rest &lt;/em&gt;something to talk about!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's do this together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sending You Velvet Cupcakes &amp;amp; Tiara Kisses,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abiola&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;P.S.

has a different love or sex related question to explore. Last week's question was "&lt;a href="http://hellobeautiful.com/your-man/is-cyber-sex-cheating/"&gt;Is Cyber Sex Cheating&lt;/a&gt;?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This week the question Tina posed is "Why Marriage?" as in "Is Marriage Played Out?" &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Hollywood and EveryHood people seem to be splitting up faster than people are getting together so this is right on time! Why marriage? We had heated discussions on &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com"&gt;My Site&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/abiolatv"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/abiolaTV"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt;, And &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/planetabiola"&gt;Youtube&lt;/a&gt;. So first, advice from Tina Tobin, and then your girl, &lt;em&gt;moi&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was fun. As "Miss Picky" from &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com/id204.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Tough Love &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;on VH1 I can tell you exactly how﻿ NOT to be married! lol.  What qualifies me to share thoughts and advice? My starter marriage of course, and my (formerly) atrocious choices in men! Oh-- and my writings on my misadventures in love, sex, and dating like my debut novel &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com/id28.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dare&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.

Be honest in your relationships and most of all be safe when playing with the hearts and bodies of other people-and yourself.&lt;br /&gt;Oh -- And don't leave me by my lonesome- leave me a COMMENT, and call me with your hot, sexy topics for future episodes on the hotline (917) 267-2607.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="445" height="364" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /&gt;&lt;param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/N6Np1NCqwwI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;amp;hd=1&amp;amp;border=1" /&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="445" height="364" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/N6Np1NCqwwI&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;amp;hd=1&amp;amp;border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some people won't like you no matter what so just be your crazy, sexy, cool, weird selves &amp;amp; give the haters something to talk about!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out this gallery of Jay-Z and Beyonce, then decide for yourself if Jigga really is still up to his cheating ways:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="gallery_194711"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- replaced media in migration --&gt;&lt;p id='gallery_194711'&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;script type='text/javascript' src='http://hellobeautiful.com/external/js/gallery/194711'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for hanging with your girl, Abiola Abrams, "Miss Picky" on VH1's &lt;em&gt;Tough Love&lt;/em&gt;, the author of &lt;em&gt;Dare&lt;/em&gt;, the host of &lt;em&gt;The Planet Abiola Show&lt;/em&gt; online, and the former host of BET's &lt;em&gt;The Best Short Films&lt;/em&gt;.

I am having a fun and fab Party With A Purpose to kick off the Breast Cancer Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure with my VH1 &lt;em&gt;Tough Love &lt;/em&gt;sisters NATASHA Malinsky aka Miss Guided and ARIAN Mayer AKA Miss Party Girl. It should be tons of fun with a free martini hour, and Greenhouse is one of the hottest clubs in the City. Get the details and buy tickets &lt;a href="http://www.philanthropiceventssponsorspage.com/abiola"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;. And I will also have some Anti-Cancer Goodies here on the blog for you in the next week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cancer has affected my family in a profound way. African American and Latin women are less likely to get the diagnoses and treatments needed so I am pleased to be a part of the cause. The CEO of Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in NYC is Dara Richardson-Heron, MD.  Her Walk for the Cure is Sunday, September 13th in Central Park. Grab some friends, some cute Pasty sneakers, and join us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The foundation is facing budget cuts like everyone else but &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Richardson-Heron &lt;/strong&gt;has a positive take on it:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I love this job! When you’re passionate about eradicating breast cancer, fortunate to be in a leadership position that is “tailor-made” for you, work with the most hardworking, dedicated and passionate staff, Board of Directors and volunteers in the world, AND make daily decisions that have the potential to positively impact others — you can’t help but be excited, optimistic and determined to make a difference, despite the challenges."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Doctor! If you want to be a CEO like Ursala Burns at Xerox or Dr. Richardson-Heron, read &lt;em&gt;How to Become CEO&lt;/em&gt; by Jeffrey J. Fox available wherever you buy books.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Don't leave me by my lonesome, leave a comment,&lt;/em&gt; and find me, Abiola Abrams, author and TV personality at &lt;a href="http://www.abiolaabrams.com"&gt;PlanetAbiola.com&lt;/a&gt; or on &lt;a href="http://www.twitter.com/abiolatv"&gt;Twitter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3361324-6196251251699383?l=blogsisters.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://blogsisters.blogspot.com/feeds/6196251251699383/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3361324&amp;postID=6196251251699383' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3361324/posts/default/6196251251699383'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3361324/posts/default/6196251251699383'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blogsisters.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-to-be-sister-ceo.html' title='How To Be A Sister CEO'/><author><name>goddess abiola</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08090520949643996456'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
