Relationships: One to Many A Packaged Deal          A package is usual a box or container that holds one or more things, whether it be clothing, household goods, or even a parent and their child(children). So this is for all my SINGLE MOTHERS; not baby mamas; but the ones that are keeping their children first. When I say first, I mean, who don’t put men before them, don’t stay out late on school nights because you have to get up to make sure they get to school on time, not  looking for a sugar daddy or support system, the mothers that realize that once they had children they have to set aside childish ways, a GOOD mother. This is for the young and old alike because there are some women that feel…

Relationships: One to ManyA Good Distant Love            In 2005, according to The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships  an estimated 2.9% of US marriages were considered long distance, with 1 in 10 marriages reported to have included a period at long distance within the first 3 years. This means that in 2005 approximately 3,500,000 people in the US alone were involved in long-distance marriages.  It is harder to know precisely how many non-married couples are in a long distance relationship but according to The Center for the Study of Long Distance Relationships there was an estimated 4 to 4.5 million college couples in the US which were in non marital LDRs. These LDRs are due to social, environmental and economic factors such as participation in the military, studying…

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.

Relationships: One to ManyChange of ThoughtAs I sit in my window I have all these thoughts running through my head..” I’m afraid to love, why do I date the same guys, what if I get hurt, I’m tired of being alone, will I ever find someone who likes me for me”…STOP I can’t keep thinking like this I will drive myself insane. I know, maybe I will get an account on Match.com, or go to the gym..naah, ooh I can go to the club..hmm, that’s not really my scene, I GOT IT, I’ll go to church…lol  Sounds crazy, but in reality these thoughts go through a woman’s head quite often; thoughts that run a marathon every time she has to stop and think about the fact that she is ALONE.…

Relationships: One to ManyDon’t take people at Face Value!So I have this friend, she has never been in a serious relationship; but wants one, just graduated from college and just moved to California to pursue her dreams of being an actress. So she called me two week ago saying she just met this great guy, he is a producer and wants to make her “famous”. So I asked her what she knew about him, where was his family from, what kind of producing he does, have you asked anyone else about him? You know questions a friend would ask. She said she was just having fun and not for me to worry, she had him checked out and he was a good guy. Well I have seen plenty of movies…

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…

Relationships One to ManyIn A Trance“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her.'' A trance that only two lovers can experience.When a woman finds that guy that makes…

What does your smile say?

Pinks
“I like him because he smiles at me and means it”      –AnonymousSuch a simple quote. It’s very simplistic in its words but full of meaning. Most of us, can tell the difference between a fake smile and a real smile from our significant others’. Hopefully, we care about them enough to inquire about the fake ones. But having someone smile at you, and you catch the millions of meanings that their smiles convey is a treasure not found by many. Imagine yourself sitting in a room with your significant other on a random Sunday morning. You’re both enthralled in different things at the moment. But then you happen to glance up at the same time and he doesn’t say anything but smile. The smile only lasts for a second and…

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…

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…
