The Love Le Menu “I Love Me” retreat was in Hanover, Maryland April 10 th thru 12 th. Ladies from Louisiana, Chicago, Georgia, and Maryland attended. The agenda was filled with spa time, lunch, dinner, cruises, tours of Annapolis, shopping, sight-seeing, and empowerment sessions led by Karlyn LeBlanc, LMSW. The first day, participants took part in a spa day, receiving facials, manicures, and pedicures. One lucky guest, Irma Bickham, won a full MAC makeover and fashion consult, for being the first person to book her retreat. Later that evening, the ladies ate with the Maryland Dinner with Divas chapter at Mo’s Seafood, where the food was amazing.   The ladies voted Mo’s Seafood a 5 overall. At midnight, the ladies and their dates boarded the Spirit Moonlight cruise in Baltimore Maryland. Everyone was dressed in black and white. Each guest received a personal photograph, black mask, leather Lust whip, goodie bag, champagne, and delicious appetizers; many were lucky enough...

  Karlyn LeBlanc You saw me happy. Happiness you just couldn't stand. You thought you were the source of my happiness, but to your surprise you were not. Only I can make me happy. You see, I love me. I love me from head to toe, inside and out. When I look in the mirror I smile. Only I can make me happy. Dont fret, you'll find someone else's happiness to control, but not mine. I'm free from you, and free from the world's definition of happiness. I do the things that bring me true joy. I live in the moment with no regrets. And if it doesn't feel good to me, I don't partake in it. You see, its all about me. Only I can make me happy. My happiness is here to stay, so if you're waiting for it to leave, you might as well go away. I changed the way I think, changed the things I say, changed the material I read, and changed the people I surround myself with. I have a true, positive, transformation with a new outlook on life. You see, I love...

    Never underestimate yourself. Know that people are drawn to your magnificent light and can’t help but adore you. That is powerful and yet, an amazing gift. So naturally, of course, all men want you. However, most realize that like a star in the heavens you may be unattainable.   Remember, there is more poverty in the world than there are rich people. This is because  most people fear working hard for something and usually give up and not try at all. My Queen You are worthy. My Queen You are priceless. It will take a real man to release his pride to appreciate and love the Goddess that you are, a  King indeed. ~ Claudine Hayes  www.LoveLeMenu.com Email us at info@lovelemenu.com if you're interested in submitting your work.    

Do you want to re-create you? Re-invent you? Make you over? Well, its time for change. Everyday we look in the mirror and we complain about the person who stands before us. I'm too short... I'm too tall...I'm too stout...I'm too skinny...my nose is too big...my thighs jiggle.. I have three stomachs...my hair is a mess...my skin is blemished...I'm too dark...I'm too light...and I'm not pretty or handsome, are amongst the many self criticizing statements made daily. Let me be the first to challenge you to change your way of thinking. The first step is to be happy with who you are. Start by loving the things you hate. Stand in the mirror naked, and kiss your flaws goodbye. Replace your negative remarks with positive uplifting affirmations. For example, instead of saying, "I'm fat," state, "I'm the most sexy, voluptuous woman alive." You've got to do the work from inside. When you change your perception of you everyt...

  Grab your ankles! Take a wild picture! Move to another city! Cut your hair off! Get a weave! Lose weight! Start your own business! The time has come for you to make a positive change in your life. Look at your career? Is it fulfilling? Working a full-time job takes up most of our day; therefore it should be a task we love. Don’t you want to do something you enjoy? We allow our dreams, passions, desires, talents, gifts, and goals to disappear due to fear, failure, and change. Life is change; fear and failure is of the devil. Invite change in with a smile. Don’t worry about money and “is this the right moment”. Every minute you spend miserable in your career is time wasted. Time you could’ve spent building your own company. Does your job give you the income and opportunity to work on your dreams? If it doesn’t you need to select a career that does. Careers should be lucrative, fun, flexible, and rewarding. These rewards come in the form of giving back and making a diffe...

  Never have sex in vain, be very selective of what you allow in your soul. The act of making love is a spiritual connection; a manifestation of greatness. Sex is magnetic energy to create the desires of your heart. Be on one accord with your sexual partner and make something powerful:   The great things I pour into myself I wish for you to devour. Together, we can create magnificent things; our souls enthralled in fiery vibrations conjuring up the desires of our hearts.   My king, I long to build you up and heal your wounds the world created.  Let's erase all failures and fears. In my arms you're all man; strong, courageous, successful, worthy, and confident. Coexist with me, drop all your inhibitions, experience this life happy, free, and wealthy.   The next time you make love, make a conscious attempt to conjure up positive energy. Your body is a precious temple that deserves only the best, never have sex in vain.  ...

I grabbed hold of the cold steel bars and I looked out. "I want to be FREE!" I screamed. "I've been locked up for too long." I imprisoned myself at a young age. Went from one ruler to another. And now it's time for me to go. I can't stand being controlled. "I want to be FREE!" There are so many places to see, so many things I could be. "I want to be FREE!" I screamed. "I've been locked up for too long." I don't want anyone telling me what to do or where to go. I'm my own person, a grown-up, not a child. I'm not your property. "I want to be FREE!" This fool is parenting me. Telling me what to wear and how to do my hair. "I want to be FREE!" I screamed. "I've been locked up for too long." What contract did I sign? I don't remember the big "X" by the black line. I graduated from high school and went straight to a cell. Am I living my life in hell?...
