You have a male or female friend that you have been friends with for a several years. You both have dated other people. You both have been there for moral support when each person has gotten heart broken.  You helped pack and moved out and into a new place after a bad break up.  You know deep secrets and explicit details of past relationships.  You have given each other advice on past relationships. So, now you are feeling one another outside of the friend zone.  How do you get out of the friend zone to dating? Do you want to jeopardize the friendship?   You know what each other like when it comes to food, fun, sports, and entertainment.  You have everything in common from favorite basketball and football team.  You laugh at his/her jokes even when they are not funny and you become each other's date every year for Valentines day, Sweetest Day, and sometimes even New Years Eve to bring in the New Year together instead of being alone.  So, you figure why not try dating since you

As summer ends, we prepare to send our children back to a new school year.  It's time to send the children off with a bang.  Let's encourage them to be great and to challenge themselves so that they will showcase their tapped and untapped gifts.  Back to school can be fun and exciting for the students, and parents.  Especially all the parents sending their babies off to Kindergarten for the first time.  Tears will be shed by both parent and child.  This is the first step to letting your baby go!  I remember sending my daughter off on her first day of school. She was excited because now she get to get on that yellow bus with all the other kids.  She felt like a big kid at the age of 4 years old and I was like most parents feeling this week terrified.  Smile!  Ironically, her teacher was my elementary 5th grade teacher.  I felt a sense of ease because I knew she was in good hands with Mrs. Johnson.  She was the best teacher at my elementary school.  So, lets send our darlings

Stand up King's of Purpose for you were created for greatness.  You were given talents and gifts that's awaiting to be birthed and released to make a difference in this world.  Despite the negative energy that has been displayed in the media, we must continue to encourage and support our young men. No parent shall live in fear of their child being shot to death for any reason.  Stand up King's of Purpose!  Hold your heads up high for you are the son's of the most high.      We encourage you to learn your rights, know your rights, and stand strong in position for your rights.  You are warriors of peace and justice not warriors of mad destruction. The violence must stop and there must be a change within the justice system to treat all men equally and fairly despite the color of their skin.  Our boys are dying too young before they learn their divine purpose, master their gift, and learn who they were born to be.    Let's give our black boys and black men the

The question of the moment, Why are you the other woman?  What's the purpose and the benefits of being the other woman?  It baffles me as to why any woman want to be second to another woman.  I never understood the reasoning or excuses that some women give regarding being the other woman. Are there some special perks to being the other woman?  These are questions for the "Other woman" to think about. Honestly, I don't see perks to being second to another woman nor do I see the perks in sharing a man that you should want to have all of his undivided attention.  What about the drama that comes with it when the wife or girlfriend finds out about you?  Most importantly, what about that sister's feelings and the affect on the family.  I spoke with a few women who expressed that they don't mind being the other woman because it has benefits and perks.  Here are their top 5 benefits to being the other woman: He pays her bills it's a financial arrangement. S

Today's blog was inspired by a sermon that I watched last weekend about 5 Keys to your Soul mate by Pastor Toure Roberts of One Church International. I was inspired as I reviewed over my notes to write about "Soul mates".  The sermon was powerful and allowed me to reflect on past relationships where I thought I found my soul mate.  Many of the examples that were given through out the sermon I could relate to  and had a few "light bulb" moments as I examined my past relationships.  Examining the past prepares you for your present and future so that you don't make the same mistakes as well is ensure you learned the lesson that was apart of your journey on purpose.  It's given me a better assessment of what I should be looking for in a Soul mate and how to identify him when he is presented before me.  We all want to find our Soul mate and live happily every after!  Most importantly, to grow with someone that is your equal and compliments your purpose!  Fo

It's Feature Thursday's for upcoming movies I have watched the trailer for this movie with the talented Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson. This is a dynamic combination with these two talented actors.  Taraji always bring her A game to every movie she graces and Idris plays his role to the tea!  The suspense in the trailer is a great teaser for this upcoming movie hitting theaters on September 12, 2014 Sony Pictures Entertainment.  What would you do if a strange man knocked on your door for Help and he was the epitome of  fine?  Would you allow him to use your phone and come into your home?  Would you be scared?  Well, from the looks of the multiple trailers he comes off charming and polite at first.  Then the plot thickens and so does the suspense. We all have good hearts and always willing to help others! We just have to be careful who we open our doors to.   Let's show up and make this movie #1 at the box office opening weekend of September 12, 2014.  We would love

You recently found out that he is single and you are interested in getting to know him.  The question is should you approach him?  Is it okay for a woman to ask a man she is interested in dating out on a date? The question boggles our mind, How would he perceive me if I approach him?  All of these questions go through your mind as you contemplate whether or not to ask the fine handsome gentlemen out. Photo credits: courtesy of Pinterest In today’s time, women are more independent, out spoken, and financially secure so placing their eye on a targeted male of interest puts the chase in full pursuit for happiness.   Some black men are old fashion and prefer to be the chaser and not be chased.  How can one approach a potential candidate if he is old fashion?  Maybe ask him out for lunch or after work drink as a friend to feel him out.  We never want to make the man feel less than a man.  I believe some men find it flattering that we approached them, but when we are persistent it tu

Depression is serious and should not be taken lightly.  We can define this as a feeling of sadness, anger, frustration, and feeling lost. We all have experienced being depressed or sad one time or another. However, how we handled depression is what matters the most.  Sometimes life will throw you obstacles, hurtles, and a few storms that are unbearable while you are in pursuit of your dreams, your career, or starting a new business.  You must have someone to talk to when the anxiety arise, feeling overwhelmed, and feeling lost began to over come you.  Keeping pain inside is not healthy for you spiritually, physically, or emotionally.   It's so easy to put on a smile and be hurting on the inside.  When you realize the crying does not stop, being by yourself all the time, and loss of appetite then it's time to talk to someone.  I can personally relate to being depressed, I felt lost in a very dark place. You don't realize the time you have stayed in this place until your

Where are my Shonda Rhimes fans?  She has done it again and this time it's a Triple Threat all on one exciting night.  Are you getting excited about Thursday's this Fall yet?  It's going to be a Triple Threat Thursdays with the line up starting with Shonda Rhimes Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get away with Murder. I will be turning off my phone so that these three shows get my undivided attention.  I have not seen anyone launch three hit drama shows on the same network airing on the same night.  She is most definitely on the right network as she has shown it in the numbers of viewers on Thursday Night's.  Scandal Do you think Olivia Pope will return?  What happened to Harrison?  Is Mya Pope really dead or is she in the B16 hole?  We will have to tune in on September 25th with all eyes, ears, and mouth dropping for the shocking twists that Mrs. Rhimes has in store for this super night!  Greys Anatomy Well we said good bye to Cristina Yang and that was

Is it hard finding Mr. Right?  Is the expectations and "The List" realistic? I know women who have this long list that is a must have from the man of their dreams. It makes you wonder if this list is realistic because their still single.     This infamous list reads: he must be 6'5, making 6 figures, 6 pack body, and drive a nice car. Those qualities sound nice but they are all physical.  What about qualities such as his spiritual background or belief, family values, his goals, his dreams, aspiration, ability to be a provider, romantic, and whether or not he wants kids.  Don't get me wrong it's very nice to have a drop dead gorgeous man standing before you meeting those physical requirements.  What about the longevity requirements that all men should be required to have?  A relationship is an investment that should be long-term and not treated like short-term CD's that does not mature.  Make your list realistic so that it makes sense because face it,

Growing up in black community, we all have experienced the different blows to our self-esteem that later affects us in our adult life.   The blows can be anything from your fat, you are not pretty enough, your too dark, and your ugly.   Those type of blows affect little girls in such a powerful way that they become distant and loners because they don’t feel loved or beautiful.   None of those comments represent love.   What’s sad about this is that many times these very words come from siblings, aunts, uncles, boyfriend, and even your mother.   http://madamenoir.com  picture credit   When you grow up in a home where your self-esteem took several blows on a daily basis it’s the grace of God that some rise above those horrific blows.   There is always a reaction with an action and some choose bad behavior or bad company because of their low self-esteem.   For instance, you date a guy who is constantly verbally abusive and does not respect you and you think that’s okay. Yo
