#184| Time Is Power

By Leave a Comment

shareasimage_TimeIsPower

I’m sure we’ve all heard “time is money,” but did you also know “time is power?”

Time is power because when we use and leverage it properly, we’re able to maximize our efforts and get things done.

Here in the United States many of us will enjoy a 3-4 day 4th of July holiday weekend.

How do you plan to spend your time?

Of course you want to relax, kick back and enjoy your family and friends.

(I plan to get in some good sleep!)

Even with the increase in leisure time, I fully intend to work on some projects this weekend.

Why?

Because time is power, and I don’t want to carelessly waste mine.

What about you?

We can’t say enough about the power of confidence.

Confidence makes you comfortable in your own skin, ready for whatever – and whomever – comes your way.

When you’re confident, you run to life, not away from life.

Approach this week with confidence – and see how much fun you have!

Podcast 052: The Power Of Black Women’s Preferences–And Images

By Leave a Comment

So, at the end of 2014 in Podcast Episode 049 we gave you a sneak peek into a podcast with Sepia, author of multicultural and multiracial erotic romance.

Sepia just released a new book entitled Prescriptions For the Soul: 100+ Dosages of Daily Wisdom, available for immediate download on Kindle (if you want a paperback copy email her at one of the addresses provided below). Prescriptions is published under her pen name, B.B. Fortune.

Prescriptions For The Soul

Sepia has several interracial romance novellas scheduled for release in the Coffee and Cream series in 2015. They will be followed with another series of novellas called Green Tea and Chocolate specializing in interracial romance between Black women and Asian men.

We discussed the power of Black women exerting their personal preference for the race or ethnicity of the men they want to date and marry. Who are these people who believe they have to right to dictate Black women’s choices?? Pfffft!

We also branched into a conversation about the power derived from seeing positive images of Black women being celebrated and loved. We appreciate seeing the visual forms, and salute those who positively portray Black women in books, blog posts and articles.

Sepia is brilliant, funny and passionate about Black women living well. What a wonderful conversation!

shareasimage_SexyIRCouple3Sepia is a huge supporter of interracial/multicultural romance erotica. Being the product of a multicultural marriage she understands that love is not always black and white (no pun intended!) but that people need and want love and sometimes that takes them across cultural and racial lines.

Coming from a family of Griots (storytellers) her desire is to entertain her readers with humor, wit and lots of love woven into her stories.

A native of New York, Sepia currently resides in Southern California. Her passion is to uplift and encourage others through her writing, teaching and speaking.

Contact Sepia by emailing her at irromancebysepia@gmail.com.
