Relationships & Forgiveness: Forgive or F**k YOU? Bombshell Handbook (VIDEO)

Let’s Talk Forgiveness & Love; Bombshell Academy Day #21

Passionista Principle: “Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heal that has crushed it.” ~Mark Twain


Hey Rockstars,


To forgive or not to forgive, that is always the annoying question in relationships, isn’t it? The key is learning to forgive for our own health while simultaneously saying thank you, goodbye, when needed.


Abiola here for Day 21 of Bombshell Academy and today’s lesson is on forgiveness. Check it out! I am also talking about Hawaiian ho’oponopono prayer practice or forgiveness. Remember? We talked about ho’oponopono when we discussed Oprah and Iyanla?


This web series is sponsored by Terra Fossil Wines’ 30 Days of Wine Madness, a heart healthy campaign. Edited with power by Ms. Kristal Mosley for iCreateTV.


So to forgive or f you? You tell me…

Pussy Power! Love Your Candy: Bombshell Handbook (VIDEO)

Hail to the V – Pussy Power; Bombshell Academy Day #16  (Video) 

Passionista Principle:  “There is such a thing as pussy power. Don’t give it away. Understand it’s your power and use it accordingly.” ~Betty Dodson


Hey Rockstars,


It’s Day #16 of Abiola’s Bombshell Academy. Today’s Bombshell Belief is “She who has the candy makes the rules.” 


I’ve been reading a lot of criticism of Summer’s Eve “Hail to the V” ad campaign — which I absolutely love, by the way. Yes, it is funny that a company built on washing your “self cleaning oven” would then pay tribute to it but when most women have only heard that their vaginas and vulvas are cursed, bad, dirty and evil — a little overdue praise is welcome and necessary. It’s a fun campaign. 


Have you ever seen an Axe bodyspray commercial? If you think that those spots are about any thing but Penis Power you’re not watching the same commercials. Hell yeah, Pussy Power!


Check out today’s lesson — have fun with it. The punany is yours – love it, appreciate it, worship it, OWN it, play with it, have fun with it, RESPECT it. 


Thanks to Kristal Mosley of iCreateTV.com for the editing. My apologies for the CRAPTASTIC sound. 


This video is sponsored by Terra Fossil Wines, a heart healthy campaign. It’s part of 30 Days of Wine Madness and today we’re drinking Terra Fossil Chardonnay 2010.
