The Dash (-) In Between

Here we are again doing this thing we called Life.  The life that God has given us is a privilege and should not be taken lightly.  What we do with it is based on the choices that we make.  I was at the funeral of a dear loved one and the eulogist said that the person had completed her life's course and what counted was "the dash in between".  Every since I heard that it has been coming back to me. I had to ask myself what am I doing with my dash in between. My beginning was 1979. I am currently living in the dash and I find  myself asking these questions. Have I accomplished the goals that I want in my life? Am I using my time wisely?

Can Sex Really Control You?

 Hello Ladies and Gents, I know that it has been a hot minute since I last posted a blog. I am going  try to make sure that a long lapse like this never happens again. I know you are wondering, "Why am I writing on this topic?'

As I listened to this I realized that she did have some valid points that made a lot of sense. I know that this is a topic that is shunned by most but it is a topic tha...

Why Are Standards Important?

Ladies! Ladies! Ladies! How many times have I seen so many of you us settling for less? Do you have any idea of what power we possess as beautiful, intelligent and intriguing creatures? Somewhere down the road our potential has diminished when it comes to relationships! So many times we de-value ourselves by settling for less when we deserve better. Why is my first blog about this? I will tell you why! It disappoints me to see young ladies who are with guys "just because"!  So what is just because?  Just because is...... just because I don't want to be lonely I will settle for less; just because he pays the bills (in some cases) I will settle for less; or just because he has good game I will settle for less! I for one am not pointing fingers at anyone for I too at one time was in a relationship in which I found myself settling. I was giving so much of myself and not getting the same or more in return. Don't get me wrong, it started out great but eventually th...
