BUY CARMEN'S POSTERS!!!

My friend CARMEN AMARA has some beautiful posters of herself for sale!

So, who is Carmen Amara? Well, I've said this about Carmen before, and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, I'll say it again.

To me, Carmen Amara is someone who's exactly the kind of person that I want to be: a person who creates her own reality. She's an Inspiration to so many people, including me, just by being who she is, and doing what she loves

I've followed her on Facebook for a few years now, and everyday, whether it's with her exercise videos, or her singing videos, she really inspires me to go for my goals and get to where I want to go in my life.

And, to me at least, that's what makes her a very special person.

And, as you can see from the pictures below, she is very beautiful.

In case you want to know who Carmen is, below is her bio from her web site:

Carmen Amara Music Bio

A native of Cartagena, Colombia, Carmen Amara immigrated to the United States at a very early age. Although raised and educated in the U.S., she has maintained strong ties to her ethnic roots that inform all areas of her mesmerizing music.

A talented vocalist, her passion for entertainment was evident from the beginning. Always front and center at family and church gatherings, entertainment has been Carmen's driving force from a very early age and - her very first love. Being exposed to so many genres of music as a child left Carmen with an indelible mark that is seen today in her own soulful lyrics.

Seamlessly managing to marry her Latin culture with her very own signature style of music, the stunning songstress' works are a reflection of unity, love, and unsurpassed passion for life. A multicultural richness is purely present in her music and her singular sound and range are refreshing, caressing, and truly what set her apart.

This coloratura soprano writes her own lyrics and her works constitute a unique sound with memorable lyrical hooks that are heard in her lounge R&B, pop, and jazz vocals.

Coupled with her commanding stage presence, Carmen is a true artist of her generation with an impressive list of fans, followers and audiences of all ages and cultures.

Carmen Amara Fitness Bio

Since a very young age, Carmen Amara has been involved in taking care of her body. With an extensive background in all types of dance, she was a cheerleader from elementary school to college and was nominated "Cheerleader of the State" from NCA. Intrigued about gaining knowledge in the proper biomechanics of exercise and eager to learn the fundamentals of sound nutrition, Carmen became a certified fitness trainer with one of the leading schools in the fitness industry, ISSA, and was nominated as "Spotlight Trainer of the Month" in Protraineronline.com, a prestigious online fitness magazine. With a deep interest in health and fitness (and the body and stamina to prove it), she bases her way of life on the Vedantic philosophy in which the goal is a state of self-realization and cosmic consciousness. Historically and currently, it is believed that this state can be experienced by anyone, but it cannot be adequately conveyed in language. Following her calling to help and heal others, Carmen's energy and passion for wellness makes her a dynamic force in the fitness industry. Combining her dance background with the dynamics of body weight exercises in order to make the session unique and full of energy, she also merges the disciplines and practices of Ashtanga Yoga into her training, embracing the original traditions of the practice in order to combine the physical, spiritual, and mental aspects of oneself. In addition, Carmen is certified in Universal Usui Reiki & Energy Healing by the Douglas Institute, and she practices a natural, mind-body approach to weight loss and overall health. She believes in looking at the big picture and in working to make positive lifestyle changes for optimal results. Carmen has been attending USA Gymnastics National Team Coach Christopher Sommer's seminars for the past three years and is currently seeking her Level 1 certification in order to instruct officially under the Gymnastic Bodies Program. In addition, Carmen has just become certified in one of the most popular forms of yoga, Ashtanga yoga, through long-time practitioner David Swenson. She looks forward to learning all series from this practice.

Carmen is the owner of The Sanctuary and Fitness of Miami and has been on many television shows such as Univision and NBC 6 at various times, one of which was a story on her gymnastics training. She is the host and co-producer of her own IP television show on URTV.NET, where she discusses many topics about health and wellness.

What is a Warrior?

I see through different eyes.

I see a bigger picture when others see only grey skies.

Though many can’t conceive it,

I stand... facing the wind.

My bravery not from fighting,

but from my strength within,

I am a Warrior.

I will walk the extra mile,

Not because I have to,

Because it’s worth my while.

I know that I am different,

When I’m standing on a crowded street.

I know the fullness of winning;

I’ve tasted the cup of defeat.

I am a Warrior.

They say I walk with ease.

Though trained for bodily harm,

My intentions are for peace.

The world may come and go,

But a different path I’ll choose.

A path I will not stray from,

No matter... Win or Lose.

If you've been in the Martial Arts for a while, you'll find many people who would like to believe in the idea that just because they practice the Martial Arts, they are some kind of Warriors.(I like to call them Wannabee Warriors).

But what exactly is a Warrior? I mean, throughout history, there have been many different types of warriors, all having different Codes of Honor that they live by (And in case you're wondering, yes, there is a Warrior Creed that I follow and try to live up to also...) . But if you really try to define what a warrior is, there seems to be no one answer to that question. In fact, there seems to be many answers, almost as many answers as people you ask.

So, what I did was provide some links to some different websites about different warriors and types of warriors throughout history. Hell, I even posted links to web sites about Dan Millman and Carlos Castaneda for you "Spiritually Aware" types. Perhaps if you look through them, you'll find a good definition of a warrior for yourself...

And for you Wannabee Warriors out there... Some of the links I put up are to Law Enforcement & Military websites. If you really want to be warriors, Check out those links and become a police officer, or go join the armed forces. They need you!!!

FROM WIKIPEDIA, THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA: Silat is a collective word for indigenous martial arts of the Malay Archipelago and Malay Peninsula of Southeast Asia. Originally developed in what are now Indonesia, peninsular Malaysia, southern Thailand and Singapore, it was also traditionally practiced in Brunei, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam. As a result, it is closely related to other Southeast Asian martial arts including krabi krabong and eskrima. Practitioners are called pesilat. The Chinese fusion of silat is known as kuntao.

There are hundreds of different styles but they tend to focus either on strikes, joint manipulation, bladed weapons, throws, animal-based techniques, or some combination thereof. Silat is one of the sports included in the Southeast Asian Games and other region-wide competitions. Training halls are overseen by separate national organizations in each of the main countries the art is practiced. These are Ikatan Pesilat Indonesia (IPSI) from Indonesia, Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan Malaysia (PESAKA) from Malaysia, Persekutuan Silat Brunei Darussalam (PERSIB) from Brunei and Persekutuan Silat Singapura (PERSISI) from Singapore.

Below, I added some links to various websites and video clips so you can get a better understanding of what Silat is about.

One of the gravest disservices we have done to the people of our world is to have provided them with a poor education. We do not teach students to think.

If you do not learn to effectively process information (and it is a learned skill) then you will always be at the mercy of people promoting their favorite dogmas.

The problem is, that all kinds of people would like you to uncritically believe what they are telling you about the way the world is. Many of them pretend that such uncritical belief is "faith", which it is not.

If you do not have the tools to discover what a given person or group is really trying to sell you, then you are libel to be making some really wacky presuppositions about the world, which will in turn become the heuristics by which you operate.

About half of what we perceive as "intelligence" is the ability to process information effectively, so if you want to be "smarter" then all you have to do is improve in that area.

While this is pretty simple, it is not necessarily easy. In my experience, most people are conditioned to a way of thinking already comfortable to the individual. When a person tries to change the way they process information they run a good chance of evoking a "threat response" from within themselves.

The wonderful thing about the internet is that you have access to so much useful information. If you're reading this, then you are able to self-educate on any number of subjects to a remarkable degree, and do it almost for free.

And that's what this section is about. I added some links here so anybody with a brain can study and learn to use it.

Remember 2 things people:

"I NOT ONLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO THINK AT ALL TIMES, BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY TO DO SO."

"IF I DON'T THINK FOR MYSELF, THEN SOMEBODY ELSE WILL DO IT FOR ME".

There are over 10,000 different religions in the world, 150 of which have at least 1 millions followers. Which one is the truth? "Christianity!" someone says, but even Christianity alone has over 38,000 different denominations. So which interpretation is the TRUE one?

Religion is not the anchor-point of truth. The truth always existed. Religion is man-made, meaning that the truth existed prior to both man and religion. Religion may be an effective catalyst for some individuals who desire to invest their minds into ideological association for whatever reason, but it is not a necessary nor a sufficient condition for a relationship with God, and understanding of the Creator, or the inner workings of the self.

Spirituality is not a belief. It is a state of consciousness, a mental framework with which you approach the world. Spirituality is in fact what birthed religion through the attempted organization of experience and wisdom, which ended up being the hierarchical stratification of various belief systems that we call religion.

Don't let the commitments you have to a religious belief system in your mind take you away from your natural state of Being with all things. You were a human before you learned religion. God's light existed in you before you learned this through some spiritual guru. Does this mean don't read or believe what Jesus of Buddha had to say? Of course not. Just make sure you take the time and effort to experience the rose instead of just believing in the accounts of others. This is not an attack on any religion by any means, and religion has brought many people happiness and the experience of being close to one's creator, but don't let it cause segregation away from our inherent unity.

As for my religious beliefs, well...

I'm a CHRISTIAN, in the sense that I believe that personal redemption is feasible for everyone and that universal love makes that salvation possible.

I'm a MUSLIM, in the sense that I believe that there's only 1 GOD, ans that all are equal under this one GOD. And, althought I'm not jewish, I do have a respect for JUDAISM.

I'm a BUDDHIST, in the sense that the seeds of enlightenment are within all of us as an integral part of our DNA, and that we are capable of reaching the Absolute through our own efforts.

I'm a HINDU, in the sense that I believe that GOD takes many shapes and forms to reach out to mankind.

I'm a TAOIST, in the sense that I have a total belief in the reality of Yin & Yang Energies.

And I also have a total belief in the world of spirits, and what we can learn from them, so I guess that makes me an ANIMIST.

I never want to tell someone what to think, for ones spirituality is a private matter between that person and their creator.

My goal here is only to show all of you the history and traditions of the many, many ways the people of the world have reached out to god.
