Have We All Gone Mad By Jasmin Farnum
Welcome Readers
Enough Cents to Make Change
did well at it.
Unfortunately, or fortunately
those of us who face depressed
finances daily,
know how to
make a dollar out
of fifty cents.
We know how to live lean and
still eat the fat. When Mayor
Bloomberg says we will need
to “do more with less”, many
of us are already way ahead on
this particular game. In com-
munities of hard working, liv-
ing paycheck to paycheck, rob-
bing Peter to pay Paul folks—
We’ve been there, done that
and hold the stock options on
it. Next.
Is it just me or has anyone else
notice you pay more for less?
Not only does it appear you
must pay more for reduced con-
tents—you must digest substi-
tuted ingredients. First, you
should have recognized the
containers held mostly air and
you paid the same price. Sec-
ond, the Brand giants figured
you wouldn’t mind if they re-
duce the size of the containers,
content because they add even
more air for good measure and
charge you more for much less.
At times I feel like Neo in the
Matrix. There must be an alter-
nate reality to this madness.
We are a country that has some
of the greatest minds in the
world. We are a land of free
speech, trade and thinkers. We
are the nation under God indi-
visible, with liberty and justice
for all. What happen to sensi-
bility and common sense?
I remember when days were
really lean. This is not the first
economic crisis, depression or
recession Americans have
seen. Our senses cannot be so
dulled that we do not perceive
the seriousness of the finan-
cial crisis. Perhaps, a few of
us still remember having to
or our parents having to put
gas in their cars according to
the last digit of their license
plate. Anyone remember the
No Frills aisle in the super-
markets? We made do and
live each day in excellence of what
I am—A Life Change Agent.
I impart to each of you the power to
make change with every sense you
possess and then to be bold
enough to share that change with
us. We are a monthly email publi-
cation and vehicle for advertising
your products, business event or
showcasing your creativity.

Greatness is in each of us. If
you do not know it— you will

once told me, “We all should
be life change agents.” That
idea stuck with me. I decided

You may not believe you are your most
valuable asset. Your ability to provide for
yourself and family is the one thing that
oftenis not properly protected. We cannot
drive a car or purchase a home without
insuring it. However, your inability to pay
for either of these depreciating assets has
far reaching ramifications.
Why is it we do not have enough resources
to adequately cover our health insurance if
we can afford coverage at all. Have you

Living Life Abundantly in a Downturn Economy
When he struck the rock, water gushed
out, and streams flowed abundantly. But
can he also give us food? Can he supply
meat for his people? Psalms 78:20 NIV
In Psalms 78 the psalmist reminds of the
hard journey of the Israelites. In the midst
of the wilderness, they had abundance
spite of disobedience, faithlessness, and
rebellion.
In an apparent barren place they thrived
and had abundant provision. Their clothes
and shoes did not wear out. Their bellies
were filled when they hungered and when
they thirsted water like streams of the sea
came from a rock.
I want to remind you—you have life abun-
dantly as a promise from a Man that shall
not lie. We are a people of choice not
chance. We are a people who have been
given the ability to create wealth. Lack is
not in the master plan unless you are living
under the curse. It does not matter what
the world’s economy does. You as the chil-
dren of The King...are called to live a Pal-
ace lifestyle. Where are your Keys?
Protecting Your Most Valuable Asset—YOU!
“I never saw the car, that took
away my ability to earn a living.
In few seconds, my life changed
and I wondered how I would
make it.”

The Mothers’ Means Campaign is symbolic
of women’s strength, courage, endurance and
stamina in spite of adversities. Not to exclude
men who also fit this description, but this call

lutions; we know how it is when the year ends

Mother’s Means Campaign challenges our
accountability because we are not alone. For
any number of reasons you may need to get
spiritual, physically and or financially fit.
Getting to that healthy point spiritually, men-
tally physically and financially is a journey—

ing or whatever it takes to get there. We as
whole will get there.
The Mothers’ Means Campaign seeks to em-
power, encourage and inspire women locally,
nationally and internationally from all ethnic,
religion, social and national backgrounds to

What System are You Operating Under?
The first issue of Enough Cents to Make
Change embraces my African-American
culture and the pride I feel in being a
Black American woman who is
equipped to make a difference. What I
am proud of in this historical year are
the milestones we as Americans have
accomplished despite the odds. Presi-
dent Barack Obama is because of every
man, woman and child who dared be-
lieve we could and would one day stand
where we are today.
Not because our President is a black
man, a biracial man but because he is a
man who is proud of every part that
makes him who and what he is. We
have wept bitter tears, drank many cups
of gall, and have dreamed with the
knowledge we would make it to the
promised land as the Prophet Dr. King
declared. The African-American flag
depicted here has significant and sym-
bolic meaning. It is not the only African
American flag created to honor our con-
tributions to the world but it is one of the
more telling of Black Americans strug-
gle and triumph.
I would that all men and women of every
nation honor a people who were de-
spised and rejected yet rose. Thank
you Marcus, Martin, Malcolm, John,
Robert, and every unsung hero and
heroine.
The Flag’s Meaning
1st star announces that all humankind was born out
of the womb of Africa.
2nd star informs with pride that the Africans gave
rise to the first civilizations and kingdoms of the
world.
3rd star depicts the cruel abduction of Africans
from their original roots.
4th star vows that African Americans will never
forget the holocaust of the Middle Passage and the
millions who suffered and died during the terrible
crossing.
5th star recalls the unholy bondage of African
Americans prior to the abolishment of slavery in
America.
6th star praises all those African Americans who
defied and rebelled against injustice and genocide
in America.
7th star is memorial to African Americans who
silently or aggressively defended and preserved the
Constitution of the United States of America.
8th star recognizes the strength of the African
American family and its inner spiritual belief in
universal brotherhood.
9th star is a testament to the strength and tenacity of
African Americans to emerge victorious despite
any adversity or challenge.
10th star honors African Americans for their ac-
complishments in making the American dream a
reality.
11th star calls for African Americans to probe their
history and to celebrate their culture and heritage.
12th. star signifies the achievements of African
Americans through hard work, scholarship and
determination.
Anything that you do not respect, you will destroy or
it will destroy you. All things have a operating sys-
tem. Your body is made up of systems that is how the
body was made to function. When you injure or fail to
take of any of body’s system you will have a problem.
God’s blessed us gave us a fully operational system.
Today, many of us cannot recognize what system we
are operating under. Every nation, government and institution has a system that it people are
require to operate under. We their people
violate the principles or laws of that establish
operating system there is a penalty. It is that plain and simple.
If you do not believe me check the penal sys-
tems, check the hospitals and mental wards,
check your bank accounts and homes. If your
supply is diminishing, and you are feeling out
of control, you are experiencing a disruption in
your Genesis 1:28 operational system.
What the African American Flag Represents
Page 3
And God blessed them, and said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply and replen-
ish the earth and subdue it and have do-
minion…[Genesis 1:28]
13th star is a symbol of Pan African
unity.
14th star leads African Americans
into the future with honor, truth and
the dream of a greater tomorrow.
The Stripes’ Meaning
The Green stripe reminds us of our living
earth and roots to all humanity buried deep
in African soil.
The Yellow stripe symbolize the moral
excellence and spiritual wealth of African
Americans as they interact with all diverse
cultures of America.
The Black stripe underscores black fami-
lies and their significant economic, spiri-
tual, social, and political contributions to
America.
The White stripe warns African Americans
to be constantly vigilant of forces that call
for death of freedom and surrender of
rights guarantee to all by the Constitution
of the United States of America.
The Blue stripe illustrates lofty skies that
will always extend a bridge between Afri-
can and Africa.
The Red stripe tells of the passionate and
soulful fire within the hearts of African
Americans and that their bloodshed in
defense of freedom shall not be in vain.
This is not the sum and total of everything
we are for it has not been revealed what is
yet to come. We stand in a long line of
people whose journey was an undertaking
of pain and glory. For drop of bloodshed
and tear stained face...To God be the
Glory. We made it.

Yesterday, I felt overwhelmed by all the things I had need to do.
I needed to wake the children, dress them, prepare their breakfast and
lunch for school, while contemplating what we'd have for dinner.
I needed to get them to the babysitter, school and get myself to work by
eight-thirty a.m., to answer calls, return calls and dodge calls.
Then there was the groceries that needed to be purchased, laundry to be
washed, dinner to be cooked and bedtime stories to be told. Just as I
began to feel weary, I realized I had forgotten YOU and I remembered
gratefully, I AM NOT ALONE.
Thank YOU Lord I can make it *VICTORIOUSLY through this day. I Am not Alone by J. Farnum-Manning

veyor, first of stabilization and then of
growth. This campaign will begin
slowly but will steadily gather a faith-
ful following and momentum reach-
ing those who dare to dream and be-
come an agent of Life Change.
The Mission The Mothers’ Means Campaign seeks to empower, encourage and inspire women locally, nationally and internationally from all ethnic, religious, social and national back-grounds to reclaim first their own spirit, mind, body, and finances and then restore others. As she reclaims her well-being she is refreshed in her position as the builder of her house-hold and community. Women have placed their lives on
hold for far too long to be super-
woman to someone else and it is time
to initiate a change. Even in this
modern society, with all its advances
in technology, education and health,
women have not received recognition
for the part they play in the scheme of
things. There are several reasons this
remains the case but none of the rea-
soning justifies the disparaging divide
between women and men in today’s
world. Women’s roles as mother,
sister, aunt, friend, neighbor and wife
are multitasking positions, in any one
of which she is constantly intertwin-
ing, commingling and interacting
24/7. With all this high-profiled, low-
compensated and under-recognized
effort it is no wonder many burn out.
It is urgent that we begin to refocus
our view and recognize our forthcom-
ing abundant life. So much is lost
when women, especially mothers, are
worn down spiritually, mentally,
physically and financially. Women
are the foundation of spirituality and
humanity; she establishes the homes,
communities and the world that we
live. We recognize that not all cul-
tures embrace the vitality of a woman
but this does not mitigate the reality--
she is the core of life. The planted
seed dies without the soil that holds
the nutrients that cause it to mani-
fest—this is a spiritual and universal
law. (“And she shall bring forth…”
Matthew 1:21) Women are multipliers
and will increase everything and any-
thing that is given to her.
Mothers have a special relationship
within her family, community and
world. As she performs at an ideal
level. she provides strength, courage,
education, values and supply meaning
to give order to her family, commu-
nity and world. There is an immedi-
ate and desperate need to restore
women to their best level in every
aspect of life. Women are consumed
with stress, which kills them slowly,
causes disease in the body and mind
and creates a lack in their ability to
create. We believe as a result, we as
a society are experiencing an in-
creased in overall despondency in our
communities. We witness more gen-
erational diseases, increase deviant
criminal behaviors, decreased energy
levels and attention spans in children,
increased incidents of depression in
the family unit and more disenfran-
chisement in our middle and low in-
come communities.
The Mothers’ Means Campaign an-
swers the tough question of how to
rebuild our foundation. Women his-
torically have been able to overcome
obstacles and do more with less while
seemingly doing the impossible, but
she needs to be refreshed. There is
nothing new under the sun but there is
a new day ahead. The Mothers’
Means Campaign serves as a pur-

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this
story will appear on the back. So, it’s a
good idea to make it easy to read at a
glance.
A question and answer session is a good
way to quickly capture the attention of
readers. You can either compile questions
that you’ve received since the last edition
or you can summarize some generic ques-
tions that are frequently asked about your
organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in
your organization is a good way to give
your newsletter a personal touch. If your
organization is small, you may want to list
the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products
or services, you can include a listing of
those here. You may want to refer your
readers to any other forms of communica-
tion that you’ve created for your organiza-
tion.
You can also use this space to remind read-
ers to mark their calendars for a regular
event, such as a breakfast meeting for ven-
dors every third Tuesday of the month, or a
biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to
insert a clip art image or some other
graphic.
