Don’t Force It!!
Even though I hate to admit it but I am practicing non-attachment. It is a way to protect your soul and heart from disappointment. Please do not get it confused with detachment!!! It is not that type of party. It sounds like a bad thing, but it really isn’t. Trust me, I still have feelings and empathy for people. Non-attachment “ allows us to live in this world fully, without being attached to people, things or thoughts that create suffering” (www.lonerwolf.com) . Non-atta

The Dating Game
I must say that dating in 2018 is for the birds!!! The older I get; the less I can tolerate. Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t understand why we must play these games just to get to know someone. Isn’t dating about trying to see who you are compatible with mentally, spiritually, physically, and hopefully in the future? Is it okay to date a plethora of people at the same time? Is it actually called dating when sex gets involved with more than one party in your “dating” scene? Can

Loyalty
According to the Collins English dictionary, “ Loyalty is the quality of staying firm in your friendship or support for someone or something”. Loyalty is being devoted and faithful to someone, something, or a belief wholeheartedly that it may risk losing family, friendship, and your mind!! But when is it NOT ok to be loyal to someone who continuously lies, disappoints, and participate in behavior that is not only risky but can cause harm to others?

Love Thy Neighbor
There is nothing better than having a relationship with your neighbors that create a “village” atmosphere. Every address I have ever lived; I always had great relationships with my neighbors. We looked out for one another regularly and kept a watchful eye out for our children. I can remember when I was a child how my parent’s and grandparent’s neighbors were also my disciplinarians. They made sure I wasn’t doing anything disrespectful or wrong in the area. My current situ

Is Chivalry DEAD???
Chivalry has become a thing of the pass in my opinion. We have justified lowering expectations and standards in order to appease what has become “acceptable behavior”. Some men and women hear the word chivalry and began to cringe. The very thought of them attempting to become a “gentlemen” gets them nervous. Many men exhibited chivalry acts such as opening doors, pulling your chair out, and giving you his coat when you were cold on a consistent basis. He didn’t expect a woman

SISTERHOOD!!!!
After watching the greatest movie of all time, Black Panther , I witnessed what a beautiful thing it would be if black women worked together instead of against each other. The power of a woman in itself is magnificent, but the beauty of a black woman is something to be admired. Hey, we get one month out of the year to exhibit all the great things “we” have done throughout the century but it still doesn’t do us, black women, enough justice. We as women support and fight for ou
