🍬“Sweet Lies”: How Sugar Is Silently Sabotaging Our Minds and Our Youth In the Gye-Nyame Journey, we constantly talk about reclaiming control of our lives—our thoughts, our time, our energy. But one of the biggest saboteurs of that control might be sitting right in your pantry, masked behind a thousand names. That saboteur is sugar . The Hidden Chains of Sugar Sugar is more than just a sweetener—it's an addictive substance that hijacks the brain’s reward system. Studies have shown that sugar can be more addictive than cocaine in animal tests. It lights up the same neural pathways and leaves the body craving more. When we talk about freedom, health, and liberation, we cannot ignore this powerful substance that’s quietly shaping our moods, our waistlines, and our willpower. Eliminating or drastically reducing sugar is like breaking invisible chains . You think clearer. Your energy levels stabilize. Your mood improves. You sleep better. Your skin glows. And most importantly, you be...

Image via Wikipedia Chapter 8 When I made it to the Men’s House, it was time for workout . Every morning we are up for prayer, meditation, and workout. This morning Silace was leading workout. He had been in the Club four years and made it to the level of Royal. He was reaching for his promotion to Grand. He still lived in the Men’s house to save his money, for what I don’t know. He was upset with me for coming in late. We worked  out and ran 3 miles. After the workout everyone came in prepared for day and left. I waited for everyone to leave before I packed up my few belongings to keep questions down. At 7:55 Malik pulled up in a black Benz. I was waiting on the front porch. I was going to miss the house.

 power is making/ your dreams breath and walk for real/ through life obstacles/ This a new part of the Journey I will begin sending shouts out to local artist, and entrepreneurs that are on the Journey. It is important that we support these folks, because they are out there grinding trying to get there name out there. So feel free to hit me up with suggestions for yourself as well of friends that out there "doin it". You have to have respect for those people that are out there making their dreams real. whether they are grinding out of their trunk, or selling their products at beauty salons or barber shops. When we support them we are really supporting ourselves. Each time we purchase a book, cd, ticket, or piece of heart we promote the culture of entrepreneurship. We keep the flame burning in them as well as ourselves.  although i hve put some artist on the Journey i have never really introduced them to you so I have one of my favorite Hip-Hop artis...
