Today I saw a familiar faceAt least I thought it was youYou walked by so fast, but I knew it was youI heard your laughI smelled your smellAnd didn’t think it was trueToday I saw a familiar faceAnd I couldn’t even speakMy hands go all sweatyKnees became too weakToday I saw a familiar face And I promise it was youI’d know your scent anywhereI knew it had to be trueTwo weeks passed me byAnd still no sight of youI should have spoke to love those daysInstead I just let you walk byNow these unfamiliar wordsAre all I have to showFor the love I thought I once knewIs lost in my heart of snow-Kaydee

Removing those Rose-Colored Glasses

“Life has taught us that love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.”Antoine de Saint-Exupery“How do you know you love him?” Often times the answer to this question is, “because I think about him all the time” or “because he takes me here or buys me this.” Fairytales and the media have illustrated a, sometimes impossible and highly unbelievable, view of what love and being in love means. Antoine de Saint-Exupery provided a very simplistic way to look at love that is very powerful and thought provoking. Living life and experiencing all that life has to offer helps us distinguish between what’s real and what’s a characterized version of the real thing. Learn from your experiences in life and understand that…

Funny, beautiful and of course FABULOUS Here's the story of Ashley Stukes & her bundle of joy AshtonWhen I first received the confirmation of my pregnancy I was not shocked, only because my cycle was a week late and I knew my son’s father and I were not using all the protection that we could have used. My friends were freaking out more than I was! The first family member I told about my pregnancy was my Mom, second was my Grandma. My Mom was very disappointed and was advising me to abort my pregnancy without actually saying, “abort your pregnancy.” My Grandma was telling me it was not the time for me to have a baby because I have a lot going for myself. When I told my son’s father…

God is the Living Word!

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26Lately you’ve been really on your grind trying to maintain. Whether you’re in school, just working, or doing both, something has been missing from your life. With all the running around we have today, it’s hard to commit to so many different things. My question is, if we can find the time to commit to school, work, and different organizations why can’t we find the time for God? I’m not talking about when things go wrong during your day and you call on God seeking help. I’m not talking about just praying about a new job, money, or any other materialistic things either. What I’m referring to is just…

Words

I am in love with love.I'm in love with the feeling it gives me.I read my words and the words of othersAnd I come to find that they can express love in ways unimaginableBut also straight from my heart it seemsI can find meaning in their wordsI can make sense of themWords speak to meAnd what they say is,I want a man that can say to his friends,"I love her and that's the beginning of everything."--F. Scott FitzgeraldI want to be able to say to someone I love,"I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you."--Roy CroftI believe love is so much more than romance.I believe,"Love is friendship set on fire."--Jeremy TaylorI want a man whose soul can speak to…

Relationships: One to ManyPredator and PreyLadies, what are some signs that show or tell us that a guy is interested? He calls first, he tells us what we want to hear or maybe he is generous with racks on racks on racks? Well these factors may be true, but in reality we all know it's what a guy DOES not what he SAYS. Some ladies fall victim to what is coming out of the predator’s mouth. (I like to look at women and men as predator or prey)... In some cases men are prey to very dominant women or vice versa. But most of the time men are the predators and women are the prey- this meaning that men should search out to catch a woman and not the other…

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…

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…

 **Fab Mamacita** Erica Jones joins us with the story of her little miss Jayden My first reaction wasn’t sad or happy it was just Blah (for lack of better words). I knew that if I got pregnant it would happen sooner or later because me and my boyfriend at the time weren’t doing anything to protect ourselves from pregnancy. So it wasn’t a surprise it was more of a “Now what?” The only thing that was going through my mind was that “Am I going to be able to take care of a baby”. But I didn’t cry or feel any sadness. I guess it’s the coolness in me. Lol!My family wasn’t as supportive as I had hoped. My baby father’s family was very supportive and became my support system throughout…

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…

This month's **Fab Mamacita** is the lovely  Asiaonna JordanShe joins us with the story of her bundle of joy, Kameron "As surprising as he was, my son Kameron is the best thing that has ever happened to me."I remember when I first found out I was pregnant...it was last year during spring break, I was definitely in denial! It was actually my mom who told me I was pregnant, you know when they say your mom knows before you tell her..yes so true, b/c mine knew. I think I was too shocked to even cry at the moment, which did not stop my cousin from bursting into tears. She had bought me the test because I refused to take one and she was more emotional than I was when we saw…
