HE IS THE RIGHT ONE

A Celebration of Black Love!

can you remember when we were younger and we had such big hopes for life...
we would say to ourselves "when I get older, I am going to do this and I am going to do that...well have you done any of this or that?

can you say that life has beat you down to the point where you have stopped dreaming and stopped wishing and lived in the now space of what's not possible for you?

has that inner child's imagination been beat to the point where you only live in a reality and reality doesnt seem so satisfying?


when we say that life is good, can we really mean it and continue to create our dream and dare to imagine life as we did when we were smaller?

or has the pains of growing stumped it all and now we are just living?


why I write this cause the past week has really been about looking at life and the inner thoughts verses the way that we are living comparing them to the time when we were fresh and ready for the world with skates on...nowadays as we grow older we take those skates off and begin tip toeing around almost scared to really be who we are meant to be, scared to create life that's sweeter than sweet...

if your life was a book? what is your character doing? look at your character and tell me would you continue to read your book if you had to or what would you do to spice it up?



AND IF ANY OF YOU WANT TO TALK PERSONALLY YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOMED TO CONTACT ME FOR COACHING I ALSO KNOW OF SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS VERY GOOD AT COUNSELING, SO LADIES IF YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT AND WALK THRU IT, YOU ARE WELCOMED TO DO SO, FOR COUNSELING

Actually I am living my dream of being a writer. Even though it's been a long road and the monetary success has not been realized just yet, I refuse to give up. I'm pretty much on course with everything and that was confirmed through my coaching session with the one and only Shelby Hill, (shout out to my boiiiiiii)!

Yes, I have stopped dreaming. After everything I have been through in my life thusfar, I feel TIRED. I feel BEATEN DOWN, and sometimes (though rare), I just feel like giving up. I have been homeless, survived that, been through a string of dead end jobs, and now my relationship with a man I thought was "MY KING" has died a natural death. I start to second guess myself, wonder why, and wonder if I am ever meant to be with another man, or end up being alone which really scares me. I know that God has those answers and they will be told to me in time and in HIS way, but it really makes me wonder. I still love the guy I have left, but he changed so much through the relationship that I just felt that we had basically reached a fork in the relationship where it was best for him to go his way (so he could find himself again, and FIX himself), and I could go mine. Yes, I used to have high hopes and dreams, but not of late. I just feel that there is nothing worth wishing for because the wishes may never come true.

Gina, it is time to start dreaming new dreams. My mother has a sayin, "when you're dead, you're done." You're still very much alive, dream on, girl, dream on!

African- American Marriages and Relationships Need a Lifeline

Historically the African American community has struggled with sustaining longevity and commitment to marriage. It’s dutifully noted in numerous writings and teachings that slavery embedded a crippling blow to the African- American community, a crack so precipitous that the African American family is faintly progressing, if at all. African-American relationships need a lifeline.
Recent studies state Black women, in sum, are less likely to marry, stay married, and remarry. Those who marry do so a… Continue

Valentine's Day Venting

Well, I never did follow up after my date because for some reason, he pulled a disappearing act. We went to a party one night, about a week after my last post, and a poetry slam afterwards, which he performed in, and had a great time. I asked him to call me the next day- he didn't, and I have yet to hear from him, 2 months later.

Anyway....

I wanted to vent about V day. I am very happy for all of my married friends, my parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. I tell all of them to appreciate their… Continue

Have You Found Yourself Divorced Because You Fought With Your Spouse Over Money?

Is there anyone here in this network that has found themselves in debt and upset? How many of you have ever ended up with a broken relationship because you and your spouse or partner, couldn't seem to agree on what to do with your money?

I plan on having a good time, and just enjoy being… Continue
