Relationship SNAFU!!!

Pinks
So if you're a military brat or are just good at acronyms then you know what the title means. For those of you who don't, dont feel bad, neither did I til my coworkers told me! lol! SNAFU is a military term that stands for Situation Normal, All Fucked Up! lol! Now with my recent luck in relationships this phase seems to fit my luck with most guys. Things are going good (at least I think they are!) then all of a sudden he's super stalker or is an atheist, or has 3 kids he forgot to mention in our past 6 dates, or still has a girlfriend & is tryna audition me a the side line hoe, or he aint got no job & kicks it on the couch…

Naked Black Justice

Pinks
I haven't seen anything about this in a minute but I wanted to stir it up again and fill you all in on it. Based on the saying "dont judge a book by it's cover" and fueled by the Trayvon Martin case in Florida, Atlanta photographer and CEO of Noire 3000 created his campaign Naked Black Justice to bring to light the injustice African Americans are still facing today. Take a look: "This photography campaign was designed to bring attention to the issues of racism, prejudice and overall ignorance that has been impressed upon Black Americans. This is no longer just a statement…it has become a MOVEMENT to get others to understand that the world would be such a better place if we could just ERASE THE HATE!! Nudity was implemented…

Verity Reign Says . . .

Pinks
Every now & then in my social media perusing I find a post that is so TRUTHFUL that I jus have to share it! This is one of those posts! Check out the latest from Verity Reign Pet Peeve: Friends Who Constantly Cry About Mr. Wrong but Never Leave Him! Okay, I'm not one with an unusually long list of pet peeves. Even when certain things (like smacking your food all up in my ear) annoy me, I'm pretty good at ignoring them and faking a convincing, wide smile as if all is well. One thing, however, that I cannot tolerate, is when women stay with trifling, good for nothing men and then call their BFF to complain about and weep over them! Jesus, take the wheel!   Though Mary sings about the…

**Fab Mamacita**

Tokaree Wingfield I know I haven't done one of these in a while but today marks a momentous occasion! A year ago today my sister, Cancer twin & one of my best friends in the whole wide world (and also the woman who gave me the idea for the segment!) gave birth to the most amazing little boy I've ever met: Sebastian Tokarr Wingfield!!! Despite starting a family in a new state at the age of 22 and a year later having her husband deploy in the military, my China Doll has made lemonade from her lemons by moving back to Atlanta to be near her family. During that time she has purchased a new car ("Adonis the Black Beauty" is SUPER nice! lol!), and also managed to balance being…

His Perfection

Pinks
contributed by Nique She is the epitome of what perfection would be if it existed…. I dream about the curves of her body and the arch of her back And wonder if I will ever be good enough to deserve to be in her presence I have memorized the smoothness of her forehead to the slope of her nose Every freckle on her face and the shape of her lips I can detail the elongation of her neck and I fantasize about the taste of her collarbone…. ….It’s the sweetest thing… My fingertips tingle from the memory of what her breasts feel like in my hands and the smooth expanse of her stomach and I am lost Lost in her…. My entire being is drawn to the space in-between her…

Repentance Is Not Just For Sinners

Pinks
contributed by Kaydee by David Wilkerson [May 19, 1931 - April 27, 2011] The longer I walk with Jesus, the more I am convinced that repentance is not just for sinners, but also for believers. It is not simply a one-time thing, but something God's people are called to do until Jesus returns. Every Christian who maintains a repentant attitude brings upon his life God's special attention. Indeed, repentance opens up something to us that nothing else can. If we walk before the Lord with a repentant heart, we will be inundated with incredible blessings! A repentant heart is soft, tender and pliable, is and easily molded by the Holy Spirit. It responds to and acts upon godly reproof. The number-one characteristic of a repentant heart is a readiness to…

Mixed Emotions

Pinks
contributed by Nique Our time is perfect together Everything is “we”, “our”, future plans, meshed goals And then reality steps in and I can’t help but to question if you’re really mine We’re always in our own world Never forgetting our boundaries but sometimes getting lost in ourselves And I’m happy…. More happy than I can ever remember being I’m content and I’m at peace And then “it” happens again and I feel alone in a world that felt so full only seconds ago We talk about love We talk about life We talk about downfalls and triumphs And then I let my mind slip into a space where we can truly co-exist as equals Where we are partners beyond partnership And companions one breath away from being one person…

No One Likes A Bragger

Pinks
contributed by Sammie Jo We all know that person. The person who stumbles upon some magnificent fortune that the rest of us haven’t been able to attain and then proceeds to let everyone else know how lucky he or she is. This “fortune” doesn’t have to come in the form of cold, hard cash. It can be anything from a new car, to a new house, to a new job, to an engagement. I mean, sure, we all get excited when something wonderful happens to us. If you don’t, you’re weird! I was incredibly happy when I got my first big-girl job and I posted an update about it on Facebook and I called everyone who cares about me and I let them know. Done. But then there are those people who…

Listening To the Lyrics

Pinks
contributed by Kaydee   Lately I’ve been having the feeling that every gospel song I hear is speaking directly to me! The lyrics just seem so real and deep to me. The repetition of the words and of course the music draws me in and closer to God. I’m starting to see the meaning so much clearer. Praise and worship are a huge part of life and I feel like I should incorporate them a lot more into my life.   “Now will your heart and soul say yes?”  -Shekinah Glory   One song in particular is “Yes”, which is sung by Shekinah Glory. I remember the first time I heard this song at a church [Joy of Faith Christian Ministries, Pastor Dr. Samuel N. Smith] and I just remember…

Indifference

Pinks
contributed by Nique   Passed you by somewhere along the way…… I looked up… Looked around And I realized I was taking this trip alone….   I waited for you I held back for you I stunted my growth for you….. To encourage yours. In the end though, It’s my heart in pieces   The world’s a funny place You do your part You hold up your end of this unspoken agreement Only to find yourself alone Signing on the dotted line with no witnesses present   I hate empty words …..Empty actions even more Why allow me to fall for you If you weren’t ready to catch me? Why present those words If you weren’t ready to be responsible for them?   Those four letters have become my enemy…
