Life as the RB: Wisdom, Courage and the Drive to Move forward (part III)

Plums

An important thing to do in this stage is to learn you. A broken heart doesn’t heal itself. It takes the effort of that individual to make them whole again. This is the opportunity to really enjoy you. Find out the things you like and don’t like. Living life without limitations places you in a predicament where you get to know yourself more. Take risks. Do things you haven’t done. You have all the time in the world to figure out what it is you are all about. Everybody has something they like doing. Take advantage and fully indulge in it. Being able to live a fulfilled single lifestyle properly prepares you for the time you will need to give to the right one.Another good thing about this stage is…

The Art of Shaving

Plums

I loved watching Big Daddy shave. As a little boy, I dreamt of shaving like him. Grandma Marian tells of the time I slipped into the bathroom with his razor etc. to shave. I emerged with cuts and showed them to Big Daddy (who being very old by this time didn’t speak much). However, he managed to look at me and ask “Why did you do that?”Fast forward to today, I am fondly reminded of Big Daddy when I venture to Harlem Barber for my weekly shave. As I am susceptible to razor bumps, I couldn’t stand to shave with more frequency than that. Once in the shop, I greet the barbers at chairs 1 & 2, the patrons waiting to the left, the shoeshine man in the corner, and…

Reflecting on Friendships

Pinks

There are times in life when the people closest to you seem to let you down. Most people rely on friends to help them through tough times. Friends are those who you confide in and seek advice from. They provide different viewpoints and allow you to evaluate situations from the outside looking in. Just like any other relationship, friendships will be tested and the outcome will determine the value of the friendship. When things go wrong with a friend, and you feel you have no where to turn to turn to God. Remember that he is the greatest friend of all and will never let you down. God has provided a special place in his heart for each of his children. This friendship between God and his children lasts a…

Dear Bentley

Pinks

Relationships: One to ManyLOVEL, is for the way you look at meO, is for the only one I seeV, is very, very extraordinaryE, is even more than anyone that you adore can …..Love was made for you and me!!! Even in 1964, Nat King Cole knew that “love” was something that everyone wanted to attain. “LOVE”….What is its true definition? How can you put into words something that means something different to different people? This four letter verb and adjective can be described as an action of expression or a description of a person or a thing. I will refer to love as an expression, no matter how it is portrayed or showed, it is being expressed some way, whether negatively or positively. Steve Harvey said, “a man has…

Weight Loss Failures and Success: Part II

Neutrals

Weight Watchers may be the right fit for you! So we can all agree that Jennifer Hudson looks amazing since she lost over 80 lbs. and has gone from a size 16 to a size 6.

Now, like I have told you all before I have tried a lot of methods, lots of fat burners and yes, I have tried Weight Watcher’s too! I went to the meetings, I bought the books they sold, I counted my points, I weighed in, and I did everything my group leader and the Weight Watcher’s staff told me to do and it worked! I LOST WEIGHT!! I lost about thirty pounds on Weight Watchers going from a size 12 to a size…

Eighth Floor Please!

Corals

My VZ navigator bellows “You’ve arrived at your destination on the left!” I look up and realize that I’m pulling into valet at The Capital Building on East Paces Ferry Road. I’ve passed this place many times. However, without the guidance of my GPS I couldn’t find the way back. A tall man in a uniform opens my door and greets me with a hardy “Hello!” He then proceeds to direct my good friend Diggy and me to an elevator. As we are escorted in, he tips his hat and gives us one last tip “The restaurant is on the eighth floor.” After a smooth ride up we hear…Ding! The door opens and we are greeted by our host “Welcome, Gentlemen, to The Capital Grille. Will there be two…

Spreading Love

Corals

It’s that time again…the month of February will be here in just a few days! People will begin to obsess about what he or she should get for that very special valentine. Flowers, candy, and different stuffed animals start to appear everywhere you look. From department stores to local gas stations, one can find many gifts for that special someone. Is this really what the “big day” is all about? Do people really believe that only materialistic things are the only way to show your love and affection for another person? It is important not to get lost or caught up in all things that glitter.Do you ever take the time out to show God how much you love him? Do you dedicate a whole day to him showering him…

Dear Bentley

Relationships One to Many: Part II Why People are afraid of Commitment As a little girl, we all dream of our fairytale wedding with our prince, but once we get older and live life, our outlook changes; through experiencing good and bad relationships, being in the single realm, dating pool, and focusing on our careers. We always feel that the one we are with is a great person, but God may have someone better in store. Men and women tend to get stuck in relationship limbo…“I always thought I’d have this magical moment where I would meet someone and there’d be this instant clicking and we would literally be married six months later,” a girl says. SORRY...IN TODAY’S SOCIETY, THAT 40’s, WWII IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST! We never seem to…

Fellas & V-Day

Plums

The day of love is quickly approaching. The closer it gets to Valentine's Day, the more of an opportunity there is for the fellas to inadequately choose a last minute gift. Showcasing your love on this day is very important. Why? It will ensure pleasure on both ends. Make her happy and she'll do the same. That's the ultimate goal anyway right? That's why your gift cant be mediocre. It has to be something she can remember over a period of time. Your gift shouldn't just be a Valentines Day gift, it should be something she can think about over the days and months afterward. The cliche' says "think outside of the box." But for Valentine's day dudes need to convey how the box fits around them. Meaning don't look…
