diddy21f-1-Holiday Card

Rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is a proud father of six children, gathered up his gang to pose for a festive and fancy Christmas card.

His adorable girls were dressed in uber-stylish black dresses while the boys all donned dapper tuxedos.

The three mothers of the 44-year-old rapper’s children are not featured in the holiday fun but his twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, daughter Chance, sons Justin and Christian along with his stepson Quincy, who is son of R&B crooner Al B. Sure, all smiled sweetly together for the photo.

“Happy Holidays from the Combs Family!,” he captioned the image that he shared with his over nine million followers on Twitter.

Obama Lifts Individual Mandate for Those With Canceled Insurance Plans

If your health insurance plan was canceled thanks to President Obama’s problematic ObamaCare law, you may qualify for a “catastrophic” insurance plan available through the insurance exchanges in your state.

The White House announced the new changes on its blog on Thursday. Some critics called the announcement “legislation by blog.”

A Dec. 23 deadline looms to purchase health policies to be eligible for coverage beginning Jan. 1, Bloomberg.com reports.

The Obama administration had hoped that millions of young, healthy people with canceled insurance plans would migrate into the insurance exchanges via Healthcare.gov. But the website has been plagued by technical glitches and security issues since its launch on October 1st.

Republicans accuse the Obama administration of climbing into bed with the insurance companies who canceled more than 5 million policies in the hopes of forcing those people into the government insurance exchanges. But consumers complain that even the cheapest bronze plans are more expensive than their old plans.

Meanwhile, insurance companies whine that this latest change in the ObamaCare law risks destabilizing the new exchange marketplaces if younger, healthier people who now carry cheap policies opt out of buying more expensive replacement coverage.

The Christmas season is the grand finale to the end of another year and with the holidays upon us, some of us shop right up until the last-minute for that special gift.

With each passing year there’s always one product or merchandise that winds up on my list of favorite things. This year one of the items which made my list is the bath and body products by Arbonne International.

I’m a dye-heart all around proactive body wash and facial user but must admit, the products that I’ve purchased from Arbonne have me sold out for their goodness and I’m hooked thus far!

Arbonne takes care of the whole man, not just with their exhilarating bath and body products but they provide nutritional supplements and detoxing essentials as well.

Their products are a bit pricey however well worth the dollar in making wonderful gift ideas this holiday season.

The bath and body sets pictured above are the Ginger Citrus Luxury Gift Set and the Awaken Bath and Shower Gel, which includes, the Awaken Sea Salt Scrub, the Awaken Body Lotion and not pictured is the Awaken massage oil.

When I tell you these products not only smell divine but they will leave a lasting aroma in your shower and on your sheets to relax you completely.

And two (one male and one female), of my lucky Ceo blog readers will win this set which is for both, men and women as one of my ‘favorite things’ giveaway. All you have to do is tell me: What have you done for someone to make a difference in their lives this year?

Then join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I sound off live for this year with my special guest Ann Marie Pusterla, District Manager and Independent Consultant with Arbonne International. Her web address is http://annmariepusterla.myarbonne.com/ Email: ampusterla_arbonne@yahoo.com P: 646-280-7740

This Independent Consultant and mother of three boys believe: the key to her success was the desire to make a change in her life and having a love for the products she adamantly sells.

Ann Marie is not only true to her craft but she quoted the following:

I fell in love with the products the moment I started using them and decided that I would like to represent pure, safe, beneficial products.  Arbonne products are botanically based and do not include any chemicals.  Once you begin to use their products you too will fall in love with the results, the change in your skin and the feeling of being renewed.

I will also be giving away copies of both my books and ReadyWriter Production Company’s Respect Yourself wristbands. If you’re aim is to win our “Respect Yourself” wristband, please tell me how you will inspire the campaign with our message?

Video: Cat Fight

The ReadyWriter

Lord knows I’m not too crazy about cats, although my BF’s cats love me.

A woman kicked snow in a stray cat’s face and the cat attacked her back. The woman should have known the feral cat was crazy if her own dog was afraid of it.

The cat sent that woman in the house with a head wound…just watch.

Fox News Anchor believes Santa is white and Jesus is too!

The ReadyWriter

Fox_Jesus

While I’m not into the world’s factious beliefs that Santa Claus is the reason for Christmas and don’t buy into the pagan role that he supposedly plays in society. I also know that Santa Claus is a fictional character who can pretty much be depicted in any way imaginable. Jesus on the other hand, has been portrayed as a white figure with blue eyes and long hair since the creation of art however, I know better and that is…Jesus surely isn’t white.

Fox news anchor, Megyn Kelly, apparently believes otherwise which is why she so boldly declared that both Santa Claus and Jesus were/are white. The misinformed anchorwoman is both ignorant and oblivious; she is certainly lacking knowledge and truth concerning the Biblical scriptures when it comes to the description of my Savior.

And while many people have these fixed mental images of Jesus pushed on them, drawn from different artistic depictions, these images often conform to stereotypes which are not grounded in any serious research on the historical Jesus, but are based instead on second and third hand interpretations of spurious sources.

For the record… in the book of Revelation 1:14-16 it states:

His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

I guess it should have also dawned on Miss Kelly that race is still an incredibly volatile issue in this country and she made herself and the “powerful” channel that employs her, the victim.

On Friday, Kelly defended herself at length, saying that she had fallen victim to a bunch of “race-baiting” Fox News haters who couldn’t take a joke. Yeah right! They always want to hide behind the “it was a joke” defense, when they want to incite what some racist would like us to believe otherwise.

Fox news always want to recant their statements when they are bombarded with the backlash of their ignorant, one-sided and insensitive comments on the air.
