What Is Love?
Yesterday I was having an impromptu discussion about love. It started out light and then morphed into something deeper. We went from discussing booty calls, to the value of women, not consisting of what’s between her legs. Which of course, I happen to agree with. But I am also aware of some realities. In that, I […]

Chasing After Fantasies
What provokes us to look outside of ourselves to fill the void? Is it an unfulfilled longing? An insatiable need? Past hurts? Lost dreams? Lack of love or intimacy? What makes us chase after fantasies? Perhaps it’s something you want so badly, you are willing to risk everything for it? But when you do, you discover, it was only […]

Is Your Word Bond?
Since the start of the new year, I seem to be getting hit with a reoccurring theme. In that, some people use the words loyalty, friendship, and trust loosely. Too loosely, I might add. I guess I’m old school when it comes to my word. What I say, I do. I am not the type of […]

Free Your Mind
Happy New Year! I started my new year with a bang. I posted a question on social media and little did I know it was going to spark such contraversy. One thing I’ve learned through the years is to keep an open mind. If not, you will always be stuck in your own way of […]

No One Is Born A Racist
Recently, our country has been so divided. Racism is alive and well. But no one is born a racist. Racism is taught and a learned behavior. I am thankful that even though I grew up around it, I did not allow it to influence me. I touched on this in my previous post. Children are taught to fear other […]
