About me:

Dear visitors and friends:

Thank you for visiting with me here a while. I am deeply encouraged by your expressed love and appreciation. My name is Marjory Sheb.a. Sheba is a name of Semitic origin meaning "Host of Heaven and Peace". The acronyms stand for my birth and family names. As I hold your eyes and ears captive for this precious while, allow me to paint on the open canvas of your mind a wholesome image of who I am:

A "CONSCIENCE-GUIDED" BEING- Walking the path of the All-Seeing, seeking to be in harmony, of spirit, mind and body. I am also an avid student of life, it is the ultimate learning institution and I love to learn!!! I aim to seek Wisdom and gain Understanding; turning every Experience into lessons that will help me graduate unto the next realm with honors.

A POET AND AUTHOR- Aspiring to inspire! I am inspired by life and wired with love. I write to stir the minds of the conscience-dead and give eyes to their hearts. Writing has been a passion of mine since I was 10. I write a monthly column for the Caribbean Sun Newspaper highlighting Haitian culture and people. Recently, I published my very first book, entitled: "Shebafied!... A Poetic Journey to Self-Actualization". It is a deeply intense and poetic book filled with insightful passages and quotes, depicting my journey to "self" through conscience-guided poetry. You can order a copy by visiting my website, www.MarjorySheba.com, or any online book retailers.

AN ORGANIZER AND ACTIVIST- My company, W.O.W! Events, help put forth a number of corporate functions and community events, including fundraisers and concerts each year that "Elevate, Educate and Entertain" and provide a platform for budding and seasoned artists to showcase their talents. One of those events is CAFE Poetry Night: a monthly reoccurring event that combines the best of Creole, English and French-speaking poets, musicians and artists on one stage. Visit: www.CAFEevents.com.

Finally, I am an AFRICAN PATRIOT- I LOVE AFRICA! More than anything in the world I want to visit, in body, the land from which I came in spirit. I long to be rejoined with my people in Yemen (Extended Africa/SW Asia), drink buna with my family in Ethiopia, eat wat atop injera with my neighbors in Eritrea, play lago with my friends in Sudan, listen to Mbaqanga music with my aunts and uncles in South Africa, go swimming in the Mogadishu Leedo beach with my rebel cousins in Somalia, celebrate Sham El Nessim with my muslim sistrens in Egypt... That is my quest. To go home to beautiful Mama Africa and lay my head on her lap.

Now that you know a little more about me, how about telling me something about you? Write me a comment or send me an email telling me of your passion, platform or plight. Let me know how I can help further your cause. Let's change the world together!!! Until then, and beyond...

Be at peace. Be for peace. Be peace. Always.

Love & life!
Marj...Sheba

At the heart of my work has been to advocate for causes and organizations making a difference in people's lives. One of those is Haiti Lumiere de Demain, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting literacy and education among the children of Haiti. HLD's textbook programs have, in the past 10 years, impacted the lives of more than 8,000 students in La Gonave, Haiti, and in 2001, HLD established the very first library in that region which serves as a resource to more than 15,000 students and teachers. As a published author and one who knows the educational value of a good book, I cannot imagine a cause closer to my heart to stand in support of.

Be Blessed!

Open your heart to only love

Wish good for those who.."ve hate for you

Assure your faith in God above

And give Him thanks in all you do

To your own self, always be true

Oblige your heart to do what.."s right

Hunger for Truth and Wisdom, too

They.."ll keep you walking in The Light

Forgive those who.."ve dishonored you

Forget the wrongs they.."ve done to you

Give, happily, to those in need

And you.."ll be blessed my friend, indeed

Don.."t, by men.."s folly, be impressed

And be unholy, like the rest

In all you do, render your best

My brothers and sisters, be blessed!

What Is The Cure For Lovesickness?

Does it heal on its own?

Is its side-effect emptiness,

Or, sentiments regrown?

Is there a pill for lovelessness

To soothe a lover.."s woe?

A drink for broken-heartedness

To make the heartaches go?

I beg of you, rally your friends

Conjure your learned scientists.

If we, with them, unite our hands

Surely a cure can soon exist

But, we must first learn to beleive

In love enough to give

For, isn.."t loving without being loved

The emptiness we grieve?

.."Tis but a lonesome, reoccuring tale

Of love and loss

That men endlessly hail

For what reward? What providence entailed?

Along the course our ignorance, us, fail!

I have known men who.."ve vowed to never love,

Who plot and scheme their way

Through women.."s hearts.

This is the ruin we see, yet seldom speak thereof

From lack of verity, we lessen love to parts.

What is the cure for lovesickness?

I ask you once again.

How do I mend my restlessness

And fall in love again?

Only a Minute

We have only just a minute,

Only sixty seconds in it,

Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it,

But it’s up to us to use it,

Give account if we abuse it,

Answer for it if we lose it,

Just a tiny little minute,

But eternity is in it!

.."Come! Shebafy Yourself With Me!.."

Come! .."Shebafy.." yourself with me!

Let go of your .."realness..", your supposed to be

self- that is never quite satisfied,

with rituals, by which, you claim to be edified.

This process will break all your traditions,

color your eyes, broaden up your horizons.

Wash out the stains of prejudices you hold,

heat up your spirit that.."s forever been cold.

Make you call .."hip..", what you labeled as .."weird..".

Stick you out like PEPPER when you are neared-

by stubburns, in subburbs or cities or towns,

from whom you.."ll be gifted with jewelries and crowns...

For your .."Shebafied.." self; your stupefied wealth,

your newly posessed state of open-mindedness.

You.."ll be like Queen Nefertiti on her glorious days,

Like the great Houdini, with his tricks that amaze:

Bringing wonders to the mind of the pitifully common,

dumbfounding the intelligent, like sunlight in the dawnin'.

You will love, you.."ll be loved and become love itself.

Once transformed into .."Sheba..", you.."ll discard your old self;

Your old likings, your old views,

your pointless outings, your old crews.

Success will come like all expected dues.

.."Cause you.."ll be a .."Sheban..":

a Nubian,

whose home is in Eden

You'll drink life-abundant-

from the cup that is Golden

This is your chance to finally be free,

Come! .."Shebafy.." yourself with me!
