Is hell waiting for you?

Plums
I received this and thought it was interesting. It seems that people do not want to talk about Hell. But Hell is real and people should realize that. Please take a moment to read this piece that was written by an unknown author:Is hell waiting for you?I went into my classroomReady for another year at schoolI didn’t want the work, Just wanted to hang and be cool.I had on new clothes,New sneakers on my feetI was there for class on timeWent to the back and took my seat.Yeah, I’m moving up.I’m already grown.Soon I’ll be graduatingAnd out on my own.I talked to some of my friends.We were all having fun.Said some things I shouldn’t have said,Did stuff I shouldn’t have done.I knew I was different.I felt God TOUCH my heart.I…

The Power Above the Belt

Plums
What is the power behind every relationship? There has to be something that keeps a person in sync with a lover, right? It has the power to allow you to lose yourself and accept things that maybe you shouldn’t. This power not only makes you feel good, but it gives you the satisfaction of knowing that your lover isn’t going anywhere. So where is this power?People mistakenly give their genitals credit for the way a person behaves in a relationship.  We’ve heard it all before. If you have a va-jay-jay then you’ll say something like, “Oh I got him p***y whipped.” For the fellas the wood has her mind gone. Wrong. This is a common misconception between both sexes and should be addressed.  Once we find where true credit is…

Fantasy Dinner

Plums
                Thumbing through an old Neiman Marcus Wishbook, I came across an old fantasy gift I wanted. It was a dinner with some of the most prolific scholars, writers, and thinkers of our time. Needless to say that gift didn’t materialize So, I started thinking about who I’d invite if I could host a dinner and invite anyone I wanted to.  First, I decided to narrow my list down to living people. Of course, all of the famous folk popped in my head like: Oprah, Diddy, Barack & Michelle, Jay Z & Beyonce, Will & Jayda, etc. But then, I thought…Why not make a list of people who are major but not as well known? So, I’ve decided to do more than one party. The first will be ten of…

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…
