Sorrow

Pinks
contributed by Nique My sorrow is overwhelming…. It overtakes me on the oddest of days It surprises me Catches me off guard when all I want is to just be I don’t mind being unhappy at times It’s ok to be a little melancholy And I wish life would just let me have these moments Keep the sorrow I have substitutes Keep the sadness I have plenty of backups Because of you I find myself having to savor the simplest of moments just to remind myself that life is worth living I close my eyes tight five minutes before I wake up because I know once my eyes open, you’re not far away I drive in silence on my way home because I know any minute now you will surely…

One of Life’s Many Lessons

Pinks
by Kaydee“Humble yourself before the Lord, and he will lift you up.” James 4:10 NIVLately I’ve found myself thanking God for every single thing! Even things that seem so small are a blessing from God and I feel like I can not thank him enough. This time of year people are so busy with Christmas shopping for their loved ones, forgetting about others can easily happen. Personally, when I leave my house I see the homeless and help whenever I can. It disturbs me when I can’t because I wish I could do more. Of course you don’t want to see another human being in pain or begging others for help. I just send up a prayer and hope that something great happens to improve their day. While at work earlier…

Thoughts from a Bald Head Cutie

Pinks
contributed by Beautiful PainApparently, it has become a problem for me or any other Black woman in particular to be an independent woman; call me confused, but I thought I was being raised to learn how to survive and take care of myself. Hell, weren’t we all raised and instilled with that desire? Seems to me that being an independent Black woman is being treated as an epidemic, and quite frankly, I think more women need to fall victim to this “problem.” Honestly though, I’m a bit confused; see men sit here and complain that all they keep finding are women who are gold diggers, lazy and only want them for their money. Yet, when they find a woman that wants to spend her own money or buy her own things,…

The Dilema

Pinks
contributed by Sammie Jo     I’ve learned a lot about myself in the past twenty three years (Soon to be twenty four – yikes!) and one of the lessons that always sticks with me is that point blank, I want what’s bad for me. Or should I say, if it’s good for me, I don’t want it? If I’m at a restaurant, chances are I’m not going to drink water with lemon. If it’s a week night, may I have a sweet tea, please? If it’s a weekend, I’ll take a Bud Lite, por favor. If I’m hungry after a long day at work, the last thing I want is a salad with grilled chicken and a side of light ranch (Don’t you hate it when you go grab…

Make Love

Pinks
by NiqueI wanna take my timeLet me make love to you…I wanna watch my fingertips trace your skin…I want you to feel my soul through my kisses and my heart through my touchAnd I want you to know that the term “make love” doesn’t even come closeI wanna memorize every mark, every scar, and every bruiseAnd learn the location of every freckle and every dimpleAnd as we tug and pull and toss and turnI want our movements to be slow and our bodies to be patientI want to savor youBe consumed by youAnd whether it’s my hand caressing your face or my tongue tracing your collarboneI want each and every moment to speak loveScream ecstasyAnd exaggerate intimacy in the purest formI am drawn to you like a magnetOur movements always…

Thoughts from a Bald Head Cutie

Pinks
contributed by Beautiful Pain Are we as women the reason to blame for our being single? I mean think about it, we constantly complain that we end with the wrong man, that all the good ones are taken. After each failed relationship, we angrily declare that no man will hurt us again and the next guy will be put to the test to make certain that he isn’t like that last one. We hold onto this resolve, and wear our badge of wounded anger on our shoulder as a form of protection; until the next man. We meet this man who we feel is Mr. Wonderful and we give him our time and attention.  We let him into our mind and give him our body and tell all our friends that…

Mighty Mom

Pinks
contributed by T. WingfieldI applaud single mothers; they are some of the strongest women in the world. Since becoming a mother I understand that we make sacrifices for our children but these women pay the ultimate price. These women sacrifice so much for their children, going to school to make a better life for them. Sometimes working multiple jobs to make sure their children are taken care of.  Although I am not a single parent my mother was, and I watched how trying it can be. My mother would miss Piano recitals, Harmony concerts and honors day programs, It's not that she didn’t want to be there but she had to work to support us. I could not imagine missing ANY part of my son’s life. I appreciate what my…
