Thank you for your patience for the month of May. This has been an extraordinary month as we build a brand new website and rebranded our Entertainment Showcase with a new host. The brand new responsive online magazine template is just what we needed to go to the next level.  The transition is just about complete. We are tweaking and finalizing a few components on our new website that will be live 6/1/15. I am extremely excited about the new look and the bigger platform. My dreams and goals are coming true. With that being said, thank you for your patience this month as we transitioned.  A special newsletter announcement will be going out with the NEW website address on Sunday evening. We look forward to you visiting the new website and a back link will be added to our blog navigation tab.  Photo credits: Pinterest Aligning your personality with your purpose is a powerful tool.

This week's article is apart of a Self-Love/Self-Awareness series with a goal to get you thinking about what's best for you.  This question have been asked of many celebrities and authors.  It's a good question to ask yourself as you reflect on who you are, how far you have come, and most important when you can give a youth, niece, god-child the same advice you would want to give a younger version of yourself.   If you were given the chance to talk to a younger version of you, what would you say?  What age would you want to talk to and why?

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...
