Today's relationship blog is with a little humor ladies and gentlemen that does have a message of encouragement when it comes to waiting on your Mr. Right. Have you dated Mr. Wrong and Mr. Not so Right?   A Mr. Wrong can be defined as a man who does not fit your qualities or checklist.  He has a job, a smile, no aspirations, no purpose, no dreams, and he is a man.  Does this sound familiar to anyone?  This is the guy who is content with where he is and cannot manage his finances.  He is always borrowing money from his friends and when he gets comfortable enough with you, he will ask you to.  The only reason you went out with him was the way he looked.  Does anyone recall what their grandmother said?  What looks good on the outside is not always good for you?  It's like taking a kid to the candy store and setting them free to pick up anything.  An even better reference would be a quote from a pastor who said,  y...

Photo Credits: Photo courtesy of Antwonette Wright   Tell us about your business Heavenly Creations Hair Salon?   Heavenly Creations Hair Salon was birthed about 10 years ago,  while I was praying for guidance on what I should be doing now in my life and the name just popped up  Heavenly Creations .   I had no idea where I was going to be going or when I was going to have a salon. But I just knew that when I got the salon it was going to be named Heavenly Creations .  I was able to make my dream come true on March 20, 2014.   My husband Andre, he’s been behind me as my number one supporter.  It was just time for me to step out. We have three stylist and we are all focused on healthy ...

As apart of a new series for Self-Love and Self-Awareness, we like to discuss and inspire someone with our topics in these next couple of weeks.  Have you ever found yourself in a dark place?  About 3 years ago, I found myself in that dark place feeling depressed, unappreciated, and lost.  This was a point and place in my life where I was struggling with who I was, where I belonged, and where I should be.  I found myself trying to please everyone, but make me happy.  The man I was with didn't see the beautiful diamond standing before him instead, he was trying to mold me into someone I was not.  Have you ever been in this position? Photo Credits: Pinterest/Phoenix Org -Quote Dr. Steve Maraboli   Over the course of three years, I would loose myself and drift into this dark place.  I was smiling on the outside and crying on the inside for someone to see me.  The battle was real and you find yourself trying to hold it all to...

I have been waiting to see how this shooting was going to unfold since Saturday and it raises an important question.  How many Black men must die before justice is prevailed and laws are passed to sanction cops?  Most recently, a South Carolina Police officer by the name of  Michael Slager fatally shot Walter Scott.  The video has gone viral on social media and it clearly shows the police officer shooting an unarmed black  man who was running away from him.  According to NBC news, Scott was stopped due to a brake light that was out.  Does this sound like a reason to shoot an unarmed black man 8 times?  Photo credits:  The Post and Courier -Screen shoot of video   It was not until Tuesday, that the police officer was charged with murder after the video surfaced.  Slager's police report was a contradiction to what is seen in the video filmed by a witness on his cell phone and what the officer reported....

I read a quote on Facebook by Code Black Life that said, "If you want something you never had, then you need to do something you never done." Think about this statement for a minute. It speaks truth on so many levels. I have heard many people say, they want to do something different because their tired of the same routine. Or better yet, they want to pursue a dream. Ask yourself,  What is stopping you?  Sometimes we find ourselves complacent and in a comfortable position where we are familiar and just don't want to change what is not broken.   Yet, we have to get uncomfortable in our comfort zone in order to shake some things up that makes us want to move on our desires. For instance, If you want to change your job then you will need to update your resume and apply for jobs. You might make a list of target companies that you are interested In working for.  You might even network with a few people of influence that work for your target company.  Bef...

Celibacy, is this the rebirth of a woman?  When you decide to give your body back to God and wait on your Mr. Right, is it the rebirth of the woman in you?  Practicing celibacy will help you improve your self-worth, give you clarity, and develop an intimate relationship.      Women desire for a relationship that has purpose and true unconditional love.  We need a relationship to have purpose not just sex.   A relationship that has direction and true meaning of love. You can reach that type of relationship when you practice celibacy.  Love is defined as an emotion of intimacy. So being celibate for one woman might have a different meaning for the next woman.  Our choices and reasons for waiting on our true chosen husband is to truly be his missing rib of completeness.   Taking a journey of celibacy, one discovers their wholeness, self-worth, and you fall in love...
