Appetizer or Meal, what’s your place at the table?

Reds
Majority of the twitterverse is tuning in Monday nights to VH1 for Love & Hip Hop Atl and are enthralled with ridiculous antics of the characters chosen to represent the Peach State. I say characters because if you have eyes you can tell 99.9% of the show is "enhanced" (aka fake). Regardless of their terrible acting skills & staged drama I, like many of you, escape to this land of ratchetness as our guilty pleasure. Speaking of ratchet I want to weigh in on the crazy ass drama that surrounds the most popular characters Joseline & Stevie J & MiMi but I wanna talk about Joseline. That girl came on the scene like a tornado with her thick accent, Rihanna-esque appearance & willingness to go all out for her man.…

Real Models

contributed by T. Johnson It has been my opinion that we all are born with the pre-disposition to want to have someone to look up to, someone to show us the way when we become lost, and someone that sees the best in us when we can’t see the best in ourselves. That person who shows us what “doing the right thing” looks like, what success looks like and how to find our own path. All too often, in the young lives of those who need them the most, this individual or individuals is seemingly nowhere to be found forcing them to look towards “the next best thing” the only other thing that has consistently played a role in their lives, media and the products of their environment. The depth…

Madea's Advice [youtube http://youtu.be/OW3T4jq1LsA] There's a saying "Some people come in your life for a lifetime, some for a season. You have to know which is which. And you gone always mess up when you mix them seasonal people up with lifetime expectations" -Madea Goes to Jail This quote from Tyler Perry's play is constantly in my mind during every relationship I have, whether it's an acquaintance, friendship or much more. We encounter different people in so many different ways and who knows how long they'll be in our lives. That cutie on the bus you made eye contact with was your soul mate or perhaps just another stranger on the street. I sincerely believe that everything happens for a reason. We meet people, they teach us things by inspire…

I needed that!!

Plums
Okay, so this week . . . no, THIS MONTH has been stressing me out beyond belief!! It seems like everyday there's some new BS that I have to deal with at work or at home and as much as I'd like to go on a cursing spree (I'm such a lady, except when I curse. I curse like a sailor! Sorry Mommy!) & tell every single person about themselves I swallow my tongue, put on a professional face, continue to excel at what I do & watch the clock til it's leave that place & move to the next stressful one!!! Ugh!!! Needless to say I need a vacation, medication, intoxication . . . . but I digress. lol! So I'm on my break (if you can call it…

Blondie’s gets a taste of SALT

Reds
Blessings come in so many forms but who knew this one would make me SALTy?! Okay, enough with the puns. I woke up to the most amazing text this morning!! Delvin Arnell of SALT Newspaper hit me up last year about a collaboration between Blondie's Lipstick & SALT. If you notice anything about me or Blondie's it's that I love to network & support entrepreneurs & anyone else who fearlessly follows their dreams! A few emails & texts in & the next thing I know I was asked to be the "Ambitious Woman of the Month"!! That brings me back to this mornings text: I rubbed the sleep outta my eyes, sat up straight & "AHHHH!!!!!!" Was the only sound I could make!!! I immediately texted Delvin back thanking him…

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…
