A Celebration of Black Love!

....The Date

WAS TOTALLY AWESOME! ! ! ! !

He called to let me know he was on his way.

He called again to let me know he was lost...

He picked me up.

He opened the doors...

He was a gentleman.

We went to the event.

It was beautiful. We had great conversation about him, his background, his work, his family and his plans for the holidays. We ate our food, enjoyed the music, and then....

I had to reveal a BIG secret... I can't dance!!! and he didn't find out til we were on the dance floor and he dared me to PROVE that I can't dance. But he was a good sport, we laughed it off and sat down. I told him to feel free to dance with someone else because he really liked the music, but he declined.

He introduced me to some of his friends. We drove around town a little bit and talked. He walked me to the door, gave me a giant, squeeze me, hold me tight hug, and we made plans to go out again...

How cool is that?

I had so much fun. I set my intention beforehand to just be patient and really try to get to know him- and not talk about myself too much. I was really relaxed and focused on him and his experiences, and we talked about me a little bit, which was ok with me. Overall, I think it was a really memorable first date, and I'm looking forward to the next one.

I feel like I really accomplished a lot by going out (despite my anxiety from a few weeks ago), being relaxed instead of nervous, and by just enjoying his company.

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
