Sanctuary for the Stark Raving Mad

Do you need to rant?! Need a space to get it off your chest? Just need to pour it out, release the poison from your system and clear your head by dumping it out? This space is like a container where you can spill and leave feeling cleansed. We'll leave all the garbage here and leave the space behind. The one rule is at the end of your stark, raving mad rant, you must end with the phrase "I'VE SAID MY PIECE AND COUNTED TO 3" then walk away and leave it behind to dissolve into the universe!

Who are you listening to these days? Have you discovered some awesome new voice or sound? Share it with us! You never know, there's some Qween who hasn't heard it yet and it just might be what she needs today.

Daily Mantras for the Aafroqween

We often need something...some word or image to focus on, even daily, to keep us on the right track when the world tries to bust into our thought space or our emotional being and get us all twisted. Mantras can be a really effective tool to keep us mentally and emotionally grounded in our goals. They help us create an inner conversation that focuses on where and who we want to be. Share your Mantras here.

Sanctuary for the Hungry Reader

If one of your favorite pass time is to curl up on the comfy couch and gobble down a good book from cover to cover, this forum is for you. What are you reading Qween? Have you been mesmerized by a gripping tale lately...one that wouldn't let you go? If so, let us know.

Sanctuary for the Visual Artist

Are you a painter, sculptor, photgrapher, sketch artists, even a jewelry maker, seamstress, knitter or crocheter, here's where we'd love to see those things your hands have made. Post art and photographs to show the Sanctuary what it is you do. No, this is not the place to sell though, just the place to share and display. Happy posting!!!

Sanctuary for the Blessed

This is a blessings watchplace. Has God blessed you today? Over the past week, month or year? In order to be blessed, we must be open to receive, our eyes hands and hearts must be open. Then we must acknowledge Him, give thanks and let others know what God has done in our lives to spread the current of Blessings around!

Holy is Her Water

Holy, like the air
she gave me to breathe
Is my love of her.
Blue hues of joy color my aura
When her accented voice utters praise.

I am coming forth by day.

Disruptions are not allowed as I build and rebuild.
Space is only opened by the carver
not me.

I script my story a lot more haltingly than I used to
And manage to somehow still be at peace.

"Security AND Passion" A Response to My Sistah's Blog "Security Over Passion?"

PLEASE CHECK OUT QWEEN IYAPIPHANY'S BLOG SPOT @ http://blackloveadvocate.blogspot.com

My God Sis! You just crack my soul open and have me spilling all over...the way you hold the truth to light and blind me with the prismatic rays! I so love you. We are on a journey of simultaneously diverging and converging streams that flow from eternity into eternity and how in the world are we ever to have any lasting clarity in that? I don't know that God really wants that for us. I think it is a human mad… Continue

tell me why

for the first time, i am "doing" a love relationship the right way. no plans to marry. no living with me before i've decided whether or not having a job matters. no unnecessary explanations to my children because there are no pdas before them. no waking up and walking into mommy's room and wondering, "Who the hell is that?" Nope. This time, I decided to be smart. Have not even told my closest friends about this one. I'm watching, I'm waiting. For the first time, maybe I am actually making a man… Continue

something new, the truth to all of this, revealed, open and unabashedly...visit, comment, and share experiences. I think I'll have a good mixture of hoodfolk, intellectuals, nationalists, poets...hopefully, some emcees, and the thing that will get me killed one day...young, good-looking men... we'll see what happens.

"...not dreaming something she was supposed to be dreaming."

"...not dreaming something she was supposed to be dreaming."

A sister friend of mine has this quote tagged to the bottom of her e-mails and it struck me like a brick! I learned it is from Toni Morrison's Tar Baby which I read so long ago, I think I was a teenager. I don't recall the context but I can't shake the notion as it fits me right now. Seems like it has always fit me. I feel like I am always on the brink of knowing something I should know but always stepping around, or over the knowledg… Continue
