Peace FAM: I am playing catch up but it is cool. I have a couple of moments before I see the doctor so I decided to pen this article. On this video part one and two I get into the little information I have been to gather on this thing called the microbiom. I at first thought that it was about the gut, but the microbiom covers the entire body and can even influence behaviors. This organ or system in our body is estimated to have 100 trillion cells all working with in our bodies. These cells work according to what we put inside of our body by way of eating and drinking. They effect our thinking by releasing neurochemicals that affect the mood, as well as make shifts in our personality. There have been studied that connect some mental illnesses to the second brain which is another name for the microbiom. I had to do this article so that we could look at the information and decide for ourselves if this is legit. They are still researching the microbiom and it is a relatively young fi

Peace FAM: It is time that I move to another level. I have spoke enough about sacrifice, suffering, embracing the bitter. Now it is time for us to see these things totally in action. I have decided to commit to completing another 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge with a fast. It is about to get hard. This time I will not be doing the intermittent fasting I will be doing a straight liquid fast. The goal is to demonstrate that it can be done, to help me workout some of my personal fears, and to solidify my vision for GNJ. I am not playing with this platform I have been blessed with, and I am not playing with this product that the Ancestors have dropped in my lap. I decided to call it the Gye-Nyame Quest. Now what I will have to workout is a system that will help me make it through the rough times. I will follow everything that we do within the challenge, plus the fast. My system will look like this: Week 1 Breathing Exercise Toast Movement Cold shower/ bath proverb & folktale of

Peace FAM: I greet you on this great Kuumba day. We lift our glasses and  toast our ancestors, for me this is a duty. This is something that I have to do, a duty. One early morning before the toast I was listening to NPR and heard a story about the youngest prince of England's role family. He stated that him nor none of his siblings want to step in the role of King, but would fuflill their duty if called upon. My mind started working, and I saw a direct connection between duty and purpose. So now I have to ask you what are your duties. If you have a purpose you must have duties to accompany that purpose. I am running into many Nia driven people who have no duties that lead them to their purpose. They can define their purpose to perfection, but when asked what duties accompany the purpose they fall short. Family take some time and build some duties that will help move you toward fufilling your purpose. Checkout the video and let me know your thoughts, don't be shy leave some c

Peace FAM: Dreams are like wings in our youth, that help us soar through life and over problems, but if dreams are not pursued they become weights that hold us to the earth in our older years. I have dreams and had them when I was young, and often received the advice to put them on the back burner while I pursued more practical matters. I was told to get real, and as i got older and met with the bitter in life, I began to believe what I was being told, eventually we all run into major issues, and set back that appear to be holding our dreams hostage, and many of us like myself crack,and "get real". Family I need to stress that there is no such thing as half way dreams. Our dreams can not inhabit the backs of our minds caged by circumstances. They were meant to fly, and if we don't invest our heart and soul and pursue them they will soar out of our site. Leaving us to our real life based in someone else's idea of reality. We have to begin to rekindle the fire if we

Peace FAM: The bitter parts of life help build us up, and prepare our body and mind for the goodness that eventually will come. We have been trained to avoid the bitter. We are told not to complain, and to grin and bare it, we must monitor what we say and how we say it to make sure we don't spit out bitter words. We are surrounded by food that are packed with sugar and if we go to any grocery store we will be hard pressed to find something bitter. We have advanced humanity to a point where we can possible go a life time and never experience bitter word, or bitter food. We have reached the pinnacle of civilization, for now we can shelter the members from all the bitter that life has to offer. This process is complete but we have lost a lot in this trade, and many may want to go back and make some adjustments in our lives. Bitter helps us grow, and it strengthens us. It helps get our creativity unstuck, just like physical bitters jump starts our immune system, and stimulate digest

Peace FAM: Here is part 2 of the popsicle series. This time the Mosh attempts to take the show over again. The girls are having fun, and being creative. They made the popsicles, and I thought that a part two of them eating and commenting on their creation was a good idea. Excuse the fact that I make an apperance, but the popsicles were very hard to remove and I didn't want their whole show be two little girls wrestling with candy ice. take some time and check out my girls show, and throw them a thumbs up while you are at it.

Peace Fam: Today we had a powerful segment leaning toward you and your personal power. In my time on this planet one of the hardest things for me is telling people no. Usually I feel guilty, and feel I have to explain my reasoning behind the no. I know that I am not the only one having this issue, many of us have ruined our lives, or may have put ourselves in compromising situations because we don't feel good about sharing our NO. I want you to understand that when you say no, you are sharing. You are sharing who you are and your values, and should stop allowing individuals to pull you from that. We all have boundaries and we need to learn how to enforce them, and using the "power of no" is one of our weapons for doing this. When we say no, we are being honest about our thoughts, and being true to our feelings, but we feel that we need to justify them. I am here to tell you that you do not. Those that can not accept your no, are revealing something to you. Something th

Peace FAM: Today or should I say yesterday because my post on our site is always one day behind. I started a fast in an attempt to align myself with a cycle that has been adhered to by many, if not all ancient people. For those that do not know I am talking about the solstices and the equinoxes. In particular I am talking about the summer solstice that will taking place on June 20, 2017, which is known as the longest day of the year. I want to discuss with you these "power days", that I believe  can be used to help us update our bodies and help adjust our personal software to get us back in tune with the Universe. I don't want to go to deep on this subject but I want you to know that by learning about some of the larger cycles that we have been made ignorant of, can help us get in tune with our true selves. On the solar calendar the cycle of the sun can be broken down into four parts, and if you want to go deeper we can actually break it down more, but for our purpose

Peace FAM: The young ladies are at it again this time trying to demonstrate how to create popsicles. They are still learning how to place the camera so that the audience can get a better view, but they are making progress. The most important thing for me is that they have fun, and continue to pull on their creativity. We had quite an experience with letting Gina, and Shasha pick out the juice for the shoot. After going through about 5 different choices we finally decided on the flavors that you see in the video. Shasha & Gina would like to thank their grandmother for coming up with the idea as well as providing the prop. Shots out to the adults that are supporting these young ladies dreams. I thank you a thousand times. Now the question that I am wrestling with is how to get the video in front of children eyes. if you have any ideas leave them in the comments. The Gye-Nyame Journey channel will be focused on developing the family entertainment portion. From this channel we will

Peace FAM: Today we reviewed all of the information, and reflected that all of the system we spoke about in the previous week, all work together in Unity to make you a living being. Our bodies are perfect models for today's principle and when we take the time to study our bodies we can move toward mastering our lives and the world around us. I began the discussion today during the toast by discussion the verdict of the recent trial for the murderer of Philando Castile. I shared the fact of how I was not shocked, and then began the discussion about tribe building, developing a culture, and being willing to support those that sacrifice for our communtiy. I have been struggling with the fact for a while that people only do to us (Black Folks in America) what they can get away with. The whole society nows that they can violate our women, mistreat our children, and murder the men and get nothing but a protest. We will notice immediate changes in behavior toward us when individuals a

Peace FAM: Water the most important substance that we can put in our body outside of air. This session was very informative, it demonstrate how far we have fallen from who we are supposed to be. Many of the complicated diseases we are afflicted by in our community may have a very simple solution, drink more water. Water makes up over 70% of our body and is a necessary part of our lives, or it should be. It is apparent that many of us have replaced water with other substances that contribute in no way to our health. These other drinks although they feel good on the palate, are actually wreaking havoc on our internal life. They are robbing of us life, and giving us temporary highs. According to the article I shared many of us are suffering from Dehydration, and this is breaking our bodies down causing sicknesses that are bankrupting us. We receive medicines that help prolong our suffering, but still encourage the underlying ailment to persist. This article also challenges the notion

Peace FAM: Today let's talk about the benefits of "That Ambrosia", after having all of these discussions about about the microbiome, I felt that it was the right time to remind all of my watchers, and readers that GNJ has developed a product that can help with all of the issues that we have covered. I need to stress that as far as hydration nothing comes close to water, but then to get probiotics, herbs, vitamins, and minerals  into your body. On this video I also talk about the fact we are now able to provide our supporters with their very own SCOBY's so that they can start the brewing process at home. Checkout the video for those that want to skip pass the toast I suggest jump to about 30 minutes and that is about the time the discussion starts. For all those that would like to support GNJ and get "That Ambrosia" click the link. Until the next time....

Peace FAM: We are at it again talking about that gut health and secret power of your microbiome. Today we focus on the part of the microbiome in the lungs. The microbiome covers basically all of your internal organs. The body is far from the sterile monolith that we have been taught about. These microorganism inhabit and assist you in every step of your life. We need to learn how to take care of them so that we can have a great life. These organism help you break down and get all the nutrients that you need from your food. Family by us learning to work with the system we have been gifted with we can overcome and conquer all ailments. This little bit of information can be life changing if we start to use it. Every article that I read suggest that you begin adding probiotics to your diet. Probiotics add healthy and helpful microorganisms. Of course you know by now that GNJ has developed a product that can help with this process. The original reason that I started brewing "That A

Peace FAM: Today we toasted up Ujamaa, and looked at another wasted resource in our community. Unlike the other resources I have talked about, this resource is heavily under research. The resource that I am speaking of today is the gut. We have neglected and it has come back to haunt us. It was said by Hippocrates (who was a student of the KMT mystery system) "that all disease begins in the gut", and finally science is catching up with the sages of old. Just in the little time that we have been talking about the gut, we have run into at least 15 common ailments that can be traced back to our microbiome. We have been taught to break our body down into parts, and these parts work together in groups, and these groups work together to form a whole, but modern science and ancient wisdom is shutting that illusion down. The human body has it's own ecology, and this ecology works together to form us. When our ecology falls out of balance then the whole system is out of wack. W

Peace FAM: Gina Gee and tha Mosh are at it again. This time they are sharing their fidget spinners that they received from their grandmother. Gina starts off the video by chasing her little sister away from the video camera and then gets into doing her tricks with the fidget spinner. My kids appear to enjoy the spinners, but I strongly suggest that they keep them at home rather than bring them to school. I have notices that they are big distraction in the classroom, especially the ones with the lights. I allow my Gina and the crew to use them in the car and the house. The spinner helped keep a little confusion down in the car especially since everyone has their own. Now I can't wait to see what the next fad will be. Hopefully this time I can get Gina Gee & Shasha Mosh a head of the curve, but they are new at this video production thing. Gina request that those that take the time to watch and read this post help her get up to 3000 views and likes, now I don't believe in
