Taking The Journey

There are people who go through life always doubting their abilities. Don’t you be one of them. Learn what you are good at doing. Once you learn it, treasure it, feel comfortable with what you know and what you’ve learned. Generally, everyone you run across will have an opinion. What you need to know is that you are you and they are whoever the heck they are.

Relationship 101

Everyone seems to be saying that they are looking for a good relationship. If you ask what they mean by a good relationship, they reply, “you know, I’m looking for a good man or woman who wants to take care of me and I take care of them – a man or woman to love me and be there for me”.

In my opinion, I feel that a person has to want that good relationship to grow to be better and from being better to being its best. .............more detail

A Summers’ Romance

As summer comes to a close, so shall infinite summer romances. Nicholas Sparks once wrote, “Summer romances end for all kinds of reasons.

What’s the Rush – Avoiding Relationship Pile Ups

In a time and space that is easily overrun with 5-minute meals, express tire and lube jobs , self check out grocers, and drive thru dining, one thing is certain; people seem to have way more things to do than they have time to do it. Add to this the number of responsibilities we have from any combination of work, family, school and community commitments and sadly the time we invest in ourselves and perhaps those who love us, can easily be placed on the back burner. .............more detail

The B Side

I am sitting here with my lady watching movies and discussing life and how I can get her to stay another week here in Los Angeles before going back to New York. I’ll miss her when she leaves but I know she has to take care of her business. I am in support of her activities because I know she knows how to take care of business and I trust her.

Space is the place

It was going to be simple enough, we were two single female co-workers with money in our pockets and we just needed a plan for our shared off day. When she suggested either going to a casino or bowling, I thought I would hurl. And I instinctively knew that she would not want to go play golf with me in 98 degree weather with 58% humidity..............more detail

A PIECE OF ME

I don’t know what happened, I gave it all that I had…maybe I was not enough for him or maybe I was just too much...Not sure; sometimes I just find myself asking myself, trying to sort out the reasons what happened.

Christian Relationships: What Happens When They Go

Men were meant to have a mate by the simple fact that God saw fit to give him one from one of his ribs. Down through the years, we lost this concept because there are more couples apart than there are together. Why is our divorce rate in American at 50%?
