When thinking about my life for the last year I knew I needed to change alot of things before I could go into the new year living the way I'm living now.  Being unhappy isn't away to live your life so, I had to make some changes in my life and the people that where in my life.  Once I looked around and all I could see where people who wanted something from me.  And, this is when I found myself saying that I was so very unhappy with the way I was living.  So, I made a decision to change what I listen to and who I hung around.  As I started this change I've notice that I feel better and I think clearer when it comes to me making decision for my life.  I finally feel comfortable with the people around me and I know now that it's not what I have or don't have it's just me when it comes to the people that are around me now and I truly feel free.   Life is to short to do things that don't please God or yourself. So, if you are doing anything that make your life

"How to Excuses Yourself from the Table " As the entree plates are being cleared, there is natural ebb in the meal.  Should you need to visit the restroom, this is an appropriate time to do so.  When leaving the table, regardless of the reason, you should simply say, "Excuse me".  Don't share your need for a restroom, cigarette, or phone call.  There's such a thing as too much information and tell everyone why you are leaving the table is to much information.  Once you have excused yourself, stand and exit from the right side of your chair, lay your napkin on the seat of your chair, push your chair into the table and walk away.  Don't stand over other and continue to talk, just leave and return to your chair as quickly as possible so that know one feels the need to wait for you to order dessert.

You must prepare yourself mentally for Success and Blessings, because it can sometime be more difficult to receive then failure....   by: Shondale Davis When I first heard this statement it made me think about my life and all the things I've done with the success and blessings in my life.  And, I realized that if I would have been better prepared for my success I would have done they very different.  I wouldn't have spent money like there was no tomorrow, but I would have made plans and set goals for my future.  So, when I heard this statement all I could think was how many people have had success and blessings come to them and they mess it up by doing things without thinking about it.  But if like me you have done all the wrong things with your success and blessings you can turn the situation around for the better.  Just started today by doing better things with your success such as helping other achieve success and this way you are paying it forward.  When you know better yo

Sexting has been a hot topic on all our tongues since the infamous "Weinergate" media fiasco. Much of the debate points to men as being the usual culprit of such "devious" behavior, but a new study reveals that women may be equally guilty, if not more. Here's the surprise: married women who already admit to cheating on their spouses are apparently the ones sexting. Diane Kholos Wysocki and Cherly D. Childers, both sociology professors at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, recently released results of a study they conducted on adult visitors of AshleyMadison.com, a popular infidelity community, which asked 68 questions about sexual behavior and internet usage, reports The Huffington Post. Two thirds of the women surveyed admit to sending sexual text messages. Only half of the men surveyed were guilty. The results of the survey are considered questionable given that it was optional, not random, and based solely on those who are open to infidelity, howe

This was a great article in Essence Magazine check it out.... When it comes to anything involving an ex, it’s safe to say things can get pretty complicated. Especially when sex is on the table. Sleeping with an ex is a classic guilty pleasure. So often you want to do it, but you don’t always feel good about it afterwards. Let’s face it, being intimate with someone you’re not seeing seriously can equal instant drama.   We wanted to know what you thought the rules of ex-sex should be so we posed the question to ESSENCE.com Facebook fans. We asked you to tell us what the dos and don’ts of sleeping with an ex are and an overwhelming 96 percent of those who answered say it’s just a “don’t”. Those few in support offered some rules to follow to keep the drama at bay.

Relationship Okay, this is the situation and once I finish telling you the story please let me know how you feel or what you would do if this was you and your husband.  I was reading a blog of a pass employer and he announced to his wife of seventeen years and there seven kids that he was gay.  He said when they first met he knew that he had these feelings and he told her what he was feeling.  When he told her she told him that there was nothing that would change the way she felt about him.  The next day he went and purchased a ring and asked her to marry him and you said yes and they got  married.  Even with this secret hanging over there heads they decided to continue on with there lives.  Now, after all these years he decides to come out of the close and live his life as a gay man.   Now, my question is if you where in this situation "what would you do if your husband came home and told you this?"   I think this is a great subject and I can't wait to hear what you t

Rompers Rompers are the new it thing for the summer and young women are wearing them everywhere.  Women of all ages and all sizes are wearing them but this shouldn't be the case.  Women if you're thinking about purchasing a Romper you have to make sure that your body type is made to wear it.  Rompers are great in my opinion for the slimmer women because they are made to look a little baggie.  They can be worn with sandals or heels they can be dressed up or down and still look great.  This is a trend that looks great no matter how you put it together.  If you are over the age of 40 you shouldn't have this outfit on it's not for the more mature women.  So, young women have fun with this trend and wear them well....

Women are talking about it, tweeting about it, blogging about it. Frankly, I'm beginning to feel a that I missed the boat.  I spoke with a few friends about their new transitions to natural hair and they all rave about how great they now feel about their hair and they want me to started going though the change from Relaxed Hair to Natural Hair .   One of my girlfriend goes to the salon every week to get the treatment that makes her hair look like she has a relaxer, but she doesn't which makes me think that you can have both the look of relaxed hair and really it's natural.  This look is great for her because her hair looks so very healthy and it has grown so much.  She is truly happy with her look and I think it's great....  Then I have another girlfriend that is natural at all times and  she keeps her hair  loose and it also looks great on her.  Because she knows how to keep her hair together she always looks like she just walked out of a salon.

"How To Add Some Shine and Know Which Pieces Suit You Best" Avoid Matchy-Matchy:   Yes you want your pieces to comp lement each other and be of the same mood and level of formality.  But combining is now more of a personal statement and less about following the law of similar. Make a Single Statement:   In general the more sparkle in your   clothes, the less you need in your jewelry.  One outsize piece is often enough, and you should always watch the proximity of big or bold pieces.  Chandeliers and a cuff bracelet can work together, but chandeliers with a chunky necklace are too much, too close. Consider the Shape of Your Face:   If your face is round, then round earrings (especially large ones that sit on the lobe) will only make cheeks look more full.  Instead, choose a dangling or drop earring.  Square faces look best with small, oval or oblong earrings; oval faces can wear just about any earring. Make Your Necklace Work for Your Neck:   Long styles (chains, laria

"What does it mean to have a true Friendship?" I was sitting having lunch with a couple of my girlfriends and I posted the question to them "What is true Friendship?" and each one of them had a view on the question...  One of them said that you can only have a few true friends because if you have a lot then those aren't truly true friends.  And what she meant was that you have all types of friends but you only have a couple of true friends.  Those are the ones you tell everything and you don't hold anything back.  They know the good, bad, and ugly about you and you're still friends.   My other girlfriend put it like this when you are true friends you can go through arguments and disagreements that are truly bad and you will still come out friends.  Those are the friends who are in your inner circle no matter what comes up in life you will always be friends.  In my opinion true friendship is being able to go through the ups and the downs whether proble

What's the Difference Between Networking and Social Climbing? This is just my opinion, but there's not a lot of difference in the two.  Both take you out of your comfort zone and you have to talk to individuals you have never met, but if you do your introduction correctly then you aren't a social climber you are now a networker.  You may say that this fact isn't true, but I beg to differ with that.  People think a social climber should never be let into the elite circle of friends, but if that some person is networking then the elite will gladly welcome that same person into there circle because now this same person is worthy.  So, you see there's always a way of going up the social ladder without it being a negative in life.....

Retro Chic isn't in unless you are in the lower east side of New York.  If you are in Charleston, SC you need to take the Retro look to the local Goodwill or the nearest Thrift Store... I'm not saying that Retro Chic is a bad thing but very few people can pull off this look. You must know your body type before you start dressing it with the newest trends or the vintage look.  I truly believe that everyone has a style but some individuals need to explore there style more especially if you fined yourself wearing Retro Chic....This would included not only your clothes but you hair styles also.  I believe imaging or branding yourselves is wonderful.  But, is it imaging or branding when you are the only one who thinks you look fashionable... So, what do you think is Retro Chic?

How do you know when your friendship with someone is over? When you started to grow and the people around you started to say it doesn't take all of that to have a successful lifestyle.  This is the first sign that you don't have the right people in you circle of friends.  A true friend will always push you to get better and when you get better those same friends will be there to celebrate you and celebrate your successes.  When you tell your friends that you're living your dreams and they can see that you are living the way you have always wanted to.  And, those friends tell you that they think you should slow down and be careful because you could lose everything you have worked so very hard for then those are friends you need to weed out of your life. Sometimes, people want you to stay in one space because they don't want to see the dreams and goals in their own lives that they haven't accomplished.   These are something you need to look for when you are getting

I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because, THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND. SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labor of love." Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO TO make your marriage work. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship Will make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fe ll in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.   Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In  fact, it was a completely spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love - because it's happening TO YOU.  People in love sometimes say, "I was swept off my  feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.   Falling in love is easy. It's a passive,  spontaneous experience.   But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria  of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY  relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls  become a bother (if they come at all), touch is  not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, 

Where you are in your life does not determine where you are going, it is just a reflection of your achievements or failures.  So you haven't made your first million yet, keeping pressing towards that mark.  Don't you know consistency is the key. Hang arounnd people who have achieved you are aspiring to obtain and ask them if you can intern with them.  You have to count the cost for whatever you are aspiring to be or do. You can not be lazy. If you are not willing to work your vision, please believe no one else is going do it for you.  If you are the type of person that have grand ideas and goals, but you loose focus easily, my question to you is What is your purpose?  Why do you want to do what you do?  Who is it going to benefit?  Can you do this for free and still produce a great product or service?  What is your motivator?  Time, Money, Status, Advancement of Humanity...etc...
