IMPORTANT: To the girls...I didn't break the elastic!

 To all the special women I know.. ..

[]
In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday.  Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older.
And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting.' Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts.  They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.


The audience laughed so hard they cried.
She is such an honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said this:

 

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

 

"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
 

"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

 

 "I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.' 

 

 "I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. ' 

"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.  


"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

 

"I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

 

"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.  People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. 

"I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

 

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."


Please send this to five phenomenal women today
If you do, something good will happen: You will boost another woman's self-esteem.

If you don't...the elastic will break and your underpants will fall down around your ankles!  I didn't take any chances on MY elastic breaking....
I sent it to a lot of special women I care for.

TOXIC Relationship

It's  important  to  become  EDUCATED  on  the  5  component  of  a  "TOXIC  Relationship". 
 
A  "TOXIC  Relationship"  will  exhibit  1  of  5  serious  components: "Control  Issues",  "Distrust",  "Isolation"  "Unnecessary  Drama"  and  "Paranoid".
 
"Control  Issues"  are  when  we  forget  that  "EVERYONE"  has  the  GOD  given  right  to  make  their  owe  personal  choice.......  so  instead  the  victim  is  coerced  into  being  CONTROLLED.
PROBLEM: 1.  When  we  deny  others  that  right.
                  2.  When  we  'the  perpetrator'  expect  the  "VICTIM"  to  think  like  him/her.
                  3.  When  we  'the  "VICTIMS"  are  fearful  of  standing  alone.
 
 "Distrust"  is  a  unhealthy  component  brought  into  the  relationship,  from  past  'unnecessary  drama'......,  or  it  envelopes  the  fear  of  karma.
PROBLEMS:  1.  When  we  choose  to  hold  onto  "Blind  PROTECTION"  to  save  matters  of  the  heart.
                     2.  When  we  refuse  to  share  the  inner  core  of  the  'emotional  self'.
                     3.  When  we  can't  TRUST  ourselves...,  trusting  someone  else  will  NEVER  happen.
 
"Isolation"  occur  due  to  the  fear  of  influence,  inspiration  and  empowerment...,  from  family  and  friends.
PROBLEMS:  1.  When  we  fear  the  power  of  another's  voice,  presence  or  resources.
                     2.  When  we  secretly  express  jealousy  of  the  "Support  System'  of  our  mate.
                     3.  When  we  devalue  the  importance  of  connection.
 
"Unnecessary  Drama"  are  expression  of  elementary  issues...,  exhibiting  the  behavior  of  a  "Teenager".
PROBLEM:  1.  When  we  have  consciously  made  a  decision,  but  for  whatever  reason  'back PADDLE"  in  staying  true  to  the  commitment.
                   2.  When  we  say  one  thing  and  does  another.
                   3.  When  we  just  want  attention...,  if  NOT  positive...,  will  accept  NEGATIVE.
 
"Paranoid"  is  a  PLAY  on  the  mind.....,  reality  is  real,  but  the  mind-play  is  TOXIC.
PROBLEM:  1.  When  we  KNOW...,  what  is  KNOWN  to  no  other,  because  the  mind  is  playing  tricks.
                   2.  When  we  play  fiction  into  FACTS
                   3.  When  we  allow  our  minds  to  TWIST  reality  into  SICKNESS 
 
If  the  relationship  is  comprised  of  2  or  more  components,  it  is  unhealthy.  You  must  made  a  'healthy  choice',  to  seek  out  help  for  recovery.  You  must  understand...,  two  sick  people  will  only  re-infect  one  another  over  and  over.  The  unhealthy  choice  is  to  stay  and  get  sicker  and  SICKER
 
"TOXIC  Relationship"  have  the  potential  and capability of causing death or serious debilitation.  
 


A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

IMPORTANT: Are "YOU" Single ???

 
Even if you are married or not YOU know someone who is
Single-- Single~ Author Unknown~
What makes you think that just
becauseI am anAttractive woman of Godly intelligenceThat I'm
incomplete without a mate?Who told you thatWithout a manSomething's
missingFrom my life?And if so,What would that be?Love?I love
myselfAnd more importantlyI love the LordHe told me that when I
delight in Him,He will give me the desires of my heartSecurity?I have
everything I need according to His riches in glory.Intimacy?Now,
how's a man going to get to know me When he doesn't even know who he
is in the Lord?See my Father told me I'm above a ruby's worth And a
gem (which I am) does not seek It (I am) is soughtI'm single and
that's all right with meSee, it's not that I oppose relationshipsIt's
that I detest co-dependencyAs a womanI know it is not my roleTo chase
after any manEsther 2:14 readsThat I am to wait on my king and when
he's delighted in me. He will call me by my name.My Lord does not
intend for me to be needy or desperate.I am to be Cherished,
Relished, Valued, and Honored, It's not my job to convince him Or
Convict him of that, My mate will already know it And consistently
show it And he will stay on his knees daily Not just to adore me But
to praise the Lord for The virtuous woman he has found So, when you
see me by myself I'm not alone I know what I have coming to meI'm
single, and right now that's all I need to be! How about that!Please
forward this to all the women in your contacts list!Whether married
or single it applies to us all!'Where there is no vision, the people
perish.......'Proverbs 29:18

Women: Never FORGET "YOUR" WORTH !!!

The One Flaw in Women
By the time the Lord made woman, He was into his
sixth day of working
overtime,
an angel appeared and said...,
 
"Why are you spending so much time on this one?"

 And the Lord answered, "Have you seen my spec sheet on  her?
She has to be completely washable, but not plastic,
have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable and
able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four 
children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a 
scraped knee to a broken heart -
and she will do everything with only two hands."

The angel was astounded at the requirements...,  Only two hands !!!  ?
No way!!!
And that's just on the standard model  ?
That's too much work for one day.
 
 Wait until tomorrow to finish."

"But I won't," the Lord protested.
"I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick 
AND can work 18- hour days."

The angel moved closer and touched the woman.
"But you have made her so soft, Lord."

"She is soft," the Lord agreed,
"but I have also made her tough.
You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish."
"Will she be able to think?," asked the angel.
 The Lord replied, "Not only will she be able to think,
She will be able to reason and negotiate."

The angel then noticed something, and reaching out,
touched the woman's cheek.
"Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model.
I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one."

"That's not a leak," the Lord corrected. "That's a tear!"
"What's the tear for?,
" the angel asked.

The Lord said, "the tear is her way of expressing her joy,
Her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love,
Her loneliness, her grief and her pride."

The angel was impressed.
"You are a genius, Lord. You thought of everything!
Woman is truly amazing."

And she is   !!!
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
But they hold happiness,  love and joy...
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
And laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
When they believe there is a better solution,
They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
And cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member.
Yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you.
To show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideals.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.

However, if there is one flaw in women,
it is that  THEY will,  somehow  in  the  mist  of  the  unnecessary drama......, 
FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Oprah Show submission: "Fabulously Fifty" era

A  gathering  of  women  who  are  excited  and  truly  happy  with  embracing  the  joys  of  turning  50.  I  am  sooo  excited  because  on  March  26,  2008, I  will  be  entering  my  "Fabulously  Fifty"  era.  I  was  really  excited  as  I  entered  my..., "Freedom  Forty"  era. 
 
40's  LIFE  Lessons   Learned: 
 
1.  If  "I"  refused  or  didn't  do  it.......,  it  would  STILL  get  done.  CONTROL
 
2.  If  "I"  said  "NO"......,  it  really  wasn't  the  end  of  the  world.  RELEASE
 
3.  If  "I"  wanted  to  MATTER......, my CHOICE needed to be placed on the table.  VALIDATION  
 
So,  I'm  soooo  looking  forward  to  learning  the  lessons  of  my  "Fabulously  Fifty"  era.

A Wise Woman


A Wise Woman Builds Her House
By: Debi Pearl May 2001

A wise woman doesn't take anything for granted. She is thankful to be
loved and seeks to make herself more lovely.

A wise woman doesn't allow herself to be a liability but strives to be
an asset to the marriage bond. She looks for ways to make, save, and
use money wisely. Her husband knows he is a richer man because she is
his wife.

A wise woman seeks to be a part of her husband's life. His interest
becomes her interest. She looks for ways to help him in every endeavor
in which he is involved. When he needs a helping hand, it is her hand
that is there first.

A wise woman knows that his peace of mind (and sometimes, wise
understanding) is something she can give or take away by her
observations and conversation concerning circumstances or people. She
limits her conversation to the positive.

A wise woman sets a joyful mood in the household. She uses laughter,
music and happy times to stir the children to a positive, joyful frame
of mind. She knows this light-heartedness helps take stress off her
husband.

A wise woman gauges her husband's needs. She seeks to fulfill his
desires before even he is aware of them. She never leaves him
daydreaming outside the home. She supplies his every desire.

A wise woman understands that her husband's need to be honored is not
based on his performance but on his position. She learns quickly to
defer with enthusiasm to his ideas or plans. She looks for ways to
reverence him. She knows this is God's will for her life.

A wise woman is not pitiful, puny, or whinny. She seeks to be
confident, capable and thankful.

A wise woman does not dream of what "could have been." She sees
clearly that she is not God's gift to men; thus she is blessed in her
present circumstances. She learns to be content.

A wise woman never expects anyone to serve her; therefore she is never
disappointed. She is ready to help—a giver. By her example her
children learn to serve cheerfully and energetically.

A wise woman doesn't attempt to instruct her husband through feigned
questions. Her questions are sincere inquiries concerning his will.

A wise woman is always learning. She is open to change. She is ready
to hear. She wants to know. She doesn't cloud her mind with the
foolish folly of entertainment. She uses her time wisely.

reverence him. She knows this is God's will for her life.

A wise woman is not pitiful, puny, or whinny. She seeks to be
confident, capable and thankful.

A wise woman does not dream of what "could have been." She sees
clearly that she is not God's gift to men; thus she is blessed in her
present circumstances. She learns to be content.

A wise woman never expects anyone to serve her; therefore she is never
disappointed. She is ready to help—a giver. By her example her
children learn to serve cheerfully and energetically.

A wise woman doesn't attempt to instruct her husband through feigned
questions. Her questions are sincere inquiries concerning his will.

A wise woman is always learning. She is open to change. She is ready
to hear. She wants to know. She doesn't cloud her mind with the
foolish folly of entertainment. She uses her time wisely.


Peace and extended Mercy

WHY: I Love the "Intelligence of a Black MAN" !!!

White Woman's Opinion of Black Women

White women's opinion of black women & a brother's response...

Please take a moment and read this.
 
Pretty Deep!!!
 
Thumbs up to this black man..
Enjoy.
It seems that an article was written to Sister 2 Sister magazine by a Caucasian woman who requested a response from black men.
 
I'm so glad she got what she asked for (and more) !!!
 
Dear Jamie:
I'm sorry but I would like to challenge some of your Black male readers.
I am a White female who is engaged to a Black male-good-looking, educated and loving. I just don't understand a lot of Black female's attitudes about our relationship.
 
My man decided he wanted me because the pickings amongst Black women were slim to none. As he said they were either too fat, too loud, too mean, too argumentative, too needy, too materialistic or carrying too much excess baggage.
 
Before I became engaged, whenever I went out I was constantly approached by Black men, willing to wine and dine me and give me the world. If Black women are so up in arms about us being with their men, why don't they look at themselves and make some changes.
 
I am tired of the dirty looks I get and snide remarks when we're out in public. I would like to hear from some Black men about why we are so appealing and coveted by them.
 
Bryant Gumbel just left his wife of 26 years for one of us Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, the model Tyson Beckford, Montell Williams, Quincy Jones, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Sydney Poitier, Kofi Anan, Cuba Gooding Jr., Don Cornelius, Berry Gordy, Billy Blanks, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes...
 
I could go on and on. But, right now, I'm a little angry and that is why I wrote this so hurriedly. Don't be mad with us White women because so many of your men want us. Get your acts together and learn from us and we may lead you to treat your men better. If I'm wrong, Black men, let me know.
 
Disgusted White Girl, Somewhere in VA
RESPONSE
Dear Jamie:
I would like to respond to the letter written by A Disgusted White Girl.
Let me start by saying that I am a 28-year old black man. I graduated from one of the most prestigious universities in Atlanta, Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business Management. I have a good job at a major corporation and have recently purchased a house. So, I consider myself to be among the ranks of successful black men.
 
I will not use my precious time to slander white people. I just want to set the record straight of why black men date white women. Back in the day, one of the biggest reasons why black men dated white women was because they were considered easy.
 
The black girls in my neighborhood were raised in the church. They were very strict about when they lost their virginity and who they lost it to. Because of our impatience to wait, brothers would look for someone who would give it up easy without too much hassle. So, they turned to the white girls.
 
Nowadays, in my opinion, a lot of brothers date white women because they are docile and easy to control. A lot of black men, because of insecurities, fears, and overall weaknesses, have become intimidated by the strength of our black women. We are afraid that our woman will be more successful than us, make more money than us, drive nicer cars and own bigger houses. Because of this fear, many black men look for a more docile woman. Someone we can control.
 
I have talked to numerous black men and they continuously comment on how easy it is to control and walk over their white women. I just want to set the record straight. I want A Disgusted White Girl to know that not all successful black men date white women.
 
Brothers like Ahmad Rashad, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, Morris Chestnut, Will Smith, Blair Underwood, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Samuel L. Jackson, and Chris Rock all married strong black women And, to flip the script, there are numerous white men, in and out of the spot light, who openly or secretly desire black women over white women. Ted Danson, Robert DeNiro, and David Bowie to name a few.
 
I just don't want a disgusted white girl to be misinformed Stop thinking that because you are white that you are some type of goddess. Remember, when black Egyptian Queens like Hatsepshut and Nitorcris were ruling Dynasties and armies of men in Egypt, you were over in the caves of Europe eating raw meat and beating each other over the head with clubs. Read your history!
 
It was the black woman that taught you how to cook and season your food. It was the black woman that taught you how to raise your children. It was black women who were breast feeding and raising your babies during slavery.
 
It is the black woman that had to endure watching their fathers, husbands, and children beaten, killed, and thrown in jail. Black women were born with two strikes against them: being black and being a woman. And, through all this, Still They Rise!
 
It is because of the black women's strength, elegance, power, love and beauty that I could  <NEVER> date anyone except my black Queen.
 
It is not just the outer beauty that captivates and draws me to them. It is not the fact that they come in all shapes, sizes, colors and shades that I love them.
 
Their inner beauty is what I find most appealing about black women. Their strong spirit, loving and nurturing souls, their integrity, their ability to overcome great obstacles, their willingness to stand for what they believe in, and their determination to succeed and reach their highest potential while enduring great pain and suffering is why I have fallen in love with black women.
 
I honestly believe that your anger is geared more toward jealousy and envy more so than snotty looks. If this were not so, then why do you continuously go to tanning salons to darken your skin? If you are so proud to be white, then why don't you just be happy with your pale skin? Why do you continue to inject your lips, hips, and breasts with unnatural and dangerous substances so you can look fuller and more voluptuous?
 
I think that your anger is really a result of you wanting to have what the black woman has.
BOTTOM LINE: If I were looking for a docile woman, someone I can walk over and control, I would give you a call. But, unfortunately, I am looking for a Virtuous Woman. Someone that can be a good wife and mother to my children.
 
Someone who can be my best friend and understands my struggles. I am looking for a soul mate. I am looking for a sister and; unfortunately, you do not and CANNOT fit the bill.
 
No offense taken, none given.
Signed, Black Royalty
Wow...,  the  BEAUTY  of  a  true  QUEEN  !!!
 
We must pass this on to make the day of the Black Queens of our
acquaintances!!!

Male INTEGRITY

Ladies, would you rather be married to a man that can spend money on you with no problem? Or  to a man that can show you the true meaning of love and willing to work hard to get you the finer things in life?

Just want to see what you ladies are thinking and what is important to you.

I  would  rather  be  embraced  in  "Love"  and  "Marriage",  i.e.  holy  matrimony  with  a  Man  that  has  "INTEGRITY  -   firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values "

1.  When  a  Man  has  integrity,  he  will  be  MORE  than  willing  to  work  together,  in  our  relationship  to  ensure  that  our  "LOVE"  is  as  equally  satisfying  for  the  both  of  "US".

2.  When  a  Man  has  integrity,  he  will  be  MORE  than  willing  to  write  the  Vision  and  make  it  plain,  without  waking  up  one  morning  with  a  NEW  vision  that  doesn't  include,  nor  consider,  whether  it's  in  the  best  interest  of  our  marriage  or  relationship.

i.e.  exercising  his  clear  understanding  of  the  IMPORTANT  of  COMMUNICATION  and  COMMITMENT

3.  When  a  Man  has  integrity,  he  will  be  MORE  than  willing  to  take  ownership  of  his  position  as  the  leader  of  his  home. 

 i.e.  he  is  the  "Spiritual,  Financial  and  Emotional  overseer"  for  his  wife  and  family.

4.  When  a  Man  has  integrity,  he  will  be  MORE  than  willing  to  take  on  the  responsibility  and  accountability  of  the  WORDS  that  comes  from  his  mouth.

5.  When  a  Man  has  integrity,  he  will  display  NO  hidden  agendas...  i.e.  'keeping  secrets''telling  lies'  or  'making  'me'  the  lesser  of  his  priorities'

i.e. He  will  display  the  3  most  important  character  traits  such  as:  HONESTY,   HUMLIITY  and  a  HARD  WORKER......,  to  add  favor  to  the  "Love  Connection",  would  be  for  him  to  be  "Humorous"  and  "Handsome".

6.  When  a  Man  has  integrity,  he  will  be  MORE  than  willing  to  share  information  concerning  his  comings  and  goings,  with  his  wife  or  significant  other,  because  he's  intelligent  enough  to  KNOW  that  'crime  against  persons'  doesn't  just  affect  females  only.  

7.  When  a  Man  has  integrity,  he  will  be  MORE  than  willing  to  ADMIT  to  himself  and  KNOW,  within  the  deepest  part  of  his  heart...,  when  GOD  has  gifted  HIM  with  a  gift,  in  his  wife  and  celebrate  that  KNOWLEDGE.  Or  if  she's  his  "Significant  Other",  HE  will  ManUP  and  make  the  decision  to  make  her  his  wife  !!!

***Understanding  that  7  is  the  number  of  COMPLETE.

Yes,  just  give  'me'  a  MAN  with  INTEGRITY  !!!

Success

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me...Philippians 4:13
The road to success is not straight.
There is a curve called Failure,
a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends,
red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family.
You will have flats called Jobs.
But, if you have a spare called Determination,
an engine called Perseverance,
insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus,
you will make it to a place called Success.
 
Pass it on to ten people whom you want to see blessed.
Don't forget to send it back to the one who sent it to you.

Relationship FREEDOM

"YOUR"  question:  Can  a  woman,  who  have  been  ABUSE,  in  "HER"  past....,  CHOOSE  to  stay  in  a  relationship,  because  "SHE"  feels  that  there  is  VALUE  in  it,  to  HOLD  onto  ???
 
Just  for  a  simple  answer.  "YES",  because  somewhere  in  THAT  relationship  "YOU"  are  getting  some  of  your  needs  met. 
 
First,  thing  "WE"  all  must  come  to  admit...,  understand...,  and  decide  is...,  with  THIS  life  GOD  gives  "US"  the  freedom  of  CHOICE.
 
The  freedom  of  CHOICE is  soooo  basic  !!!
 
Let's  define  "HOPE"  -  1 : to cherish a desire with anticipation <hopes for a promotion>
2 archaic :
TRUST
transitive senses
1 : to desire with expectation of obtainment
2 : to expect with confidence :
TRUST
 
Now,  that  "WE"  know...,  with  HOPE  comes  ANTICIPATION,  for  our  relationships  to  develop  into  something  REAL,  UNBREAKABLE  and  SOLID.
 
1.  We  MUST  admit,  to  the  REALITY  of  our  relationship.
   *Is  this  relationship  balanced  ???
   -  Are  'my'  needs,  wants  and  desires  being  met  ?
    -  Am  "I"  sincerely  trying  to  meet  the  needs,  wants  and  desires  of  my  mate  ?
    -  Are  "WE"  equally  committed  to  working  on  having  a  "Healthy  Relationship" ?
 
   *Is  there  genuine  TRUST  in  our  relationship  ???
    -  I'm  "I"  ACTIVELY  looking  for  "HIS"  indiscretions  ?
    -  Is  "HE"  finding  reasons  to  question  'my'  activities  ?
    -  Are  "WE"  equally  committed  to  working  on  having  a  "Healthy  Relationship" ?
 
   *Is  there  freedom  to  share  and  COMMUINCATE  openly  in  our  relationship  ???
    -  Do  "I"  feel  safe  to  COMMUINCATE  openly  my  fears,  my  insecurities  and  my  mistakes,  without  having  to  FEEL  judged  ?
    -  Does  "HE"  trust  "YOU"  to  share  "HIS"  fears,  insecurities  and  mistakes,  without  having  to  be  MADE  to  feel  less  THAN  the  Man,  "HE"  presented  'himself  to  be...,  initially  ?     
-  Are  "WE"  equally  committed  to  working  on  having  a  "Healthy  Relationship" ?
 
2.  We  MUST  understand,  any  problems  found  in  our  relationships...,  doesn't  just  lay  in  the  courtyard  of  our  mate.
 
So  if  "WE"  choose  to  participate  in  the  relationship,  whatever  causalities  that's  endeared,  shoulder  the  responsibility  of  both  parties.
 
Simply  put:  "YOU"  are  NOT  a  victim,  once  "YOU"  choose  to  participate.
 
Major  QUESTION:   Are  "WE"  equally  committed  to  working  on  having  a  "Healthy  Relationship?
 
3.  We  MUST  decide,  is  THIS  relationship...,  really  working  for  the  'emotional,  mental,  physical,  financial,  and  spiritual'  aspect  of  a  "Healthy  Relationship".
 
IMPORTANT  QUESTION  to  ask:  -  Are  "WE"  equally  committed  to  working  on  having  a  "Healthy  Relationship?
 
A  Healthy  Relationship  is  a  COMMITMENT  to  work  TOGETHER  through  the  FEARS INSECURITIES  and  any  MISTAKES  or  indiscretions  found  in  the  relationship,  to  promote  HEALING.
  
If  it's  "HER"  choice  to  do  so,  is  it  something  wrong  with  "HER"  in  making  that  choice  ???
 
No,  it's  NOT...,  if  SHE"  knows  that  she  has  a  very  COMMITED  Man  at  HER  side,  who  is  equally  COMMITED  to  working  on  a  "Healthy  Relationship"  !!!
 
But,  if  "SHE's"  moving  on  HOPE  all  by  herself  in  the  relationship......,  then  YES,  it's  something  REALLY  wrong  with  "HER"  !!!

One Flaw In Women




One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.

They bear hardships and they carry burdens,

but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.

They sing when they want to cry.

They cry when they are happy

and laugh when they are nervous.

They fight for what they believe in.

They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer

when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.

They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.

They cry when their children excel

and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about

a birth or a wedding.

Their hearts break when a friend dies.

They grieve at the loss of a family member,

yet they are strong when they

think there is no strength left.

They know that a hug and a kiss

can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you

to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what

makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.

They have compassion and ideas.

They give moral support to their

family and friends.

Women have vital things to say

and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,

IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.



Please pass this along to all your women friends and relatives to remind them just

how amazing they are.

FRIDAY..., LoveLIFE: Betting Your Love-Life On His "Potential" !!!

Sharing  a  THOUGHT  !!!
 
Mistake #1) Betting Your Love-Life On His "Potential"

   Do you know any women who want the man
they're dating to behave differently?

   Of course you do.

   And just like me, I'm sure you have friends
who date guys who don't have much going for them
or who don't treat them very well.

   Somehow these women always have an excuse
for the guy's shortcomings.

   What's going on here?

   It's actually very simple.

   Women (and men) don't base their choices of
men on how "nice" or "good" someone is to them
day-to-day. 

   Women choose the men they do because they
feel a powerful GUT LEVEL ATTRACTION for them. 

   And guess what?

   Some women will continue to put up with a
guy that doesn't treat them very well.

   Sometimes for months or years...

   But why in the world would a woman do that!?

   Well, to put it simply, they confuse the
strong attraction they feel for the guy with
a deeper "connection".

   Women who do this are doomed to end up
in failed relationships with the "wrong" guys.

   How do I know?

   Because I've seen it at least a hundred
times...

   And because I've been this guy in the past
myself.

   Thinking back on past dating and relationships
I've had, I was selfish and didn't offer much.

   I'm amazed the women put up with me.

   But they did...all the while hoping that
I would somehow change. 

   The women I dated hoped I'd change.

   The only thing they saw in me that led
them to want to keep me around was the "potential"
they saw in me to share my feelings and communicate
with them.

   The potential for something better and
the potential for me to change and be a better
lover, boyfriend, companion or whatever...

   The truth was, I was hopelessly bad at these
things at the time.

   And more importantly, I wasn't even at a place
in my life where I knew how to or was interested
in developing a deep and committed relationship -
with ANYONE.    

   But deep down these women believed that if
they tried hard enough, that it would make up
for what was lacking.

   They believed that I could become someone else
with them.... and that this would be easy for us
both.

   Talk about a losing battle.

   I doesn't make a lot of "logical" sense...

   But until you accept that lots of women do
this AND that YOU could be doing it on some level,
you'll NEVER have the success with men that you
choose and want.

Do you qualify?

A Sister’s Poem and a Brother's Response

Do you qualify to be the man I need you to be?
Will you be able to recognize the things you
need to see? Will you be able to understand, that
I'm a good woman and in my life I need a good man?
Do you qualify?

Do you qualify to fertilize my unproduced seeds?
Can you fulfill, as I can, all of our needs?
Can you put me in my place if you see I am slippin?
Can you talk to me, wholeheartedly, not
constantly trippin??
Do you qualify?

Do you qualify to be called all mine?
Can you leave the other women and temptations
behind? Can you come to me with your problems and
not wait until it's too late?
Can you stand up and admit if you made a mistake?
Do you qualify?

Do you qualify to be the honest ebony man I
would want you to be?
Would you be able to look me in my eyes and
admit your feelings to me?
Could you take me in your arms and make love to
me all night long?
Can you be sensitive and still be strong?


Do you qualify?

 

Do you qualify to be my friend as well as my
lover? Can you put our love before any other?
Can you cherish me as if I were Diamonds &
Gold? Can you make me feel like I'm the last
woman you'll ever hold?
Do you qualify?

 

Do you qualify to be called a good man?
If I have doubts can you reassure me and understand?
Can your love intoxicate me as if I were High?
To be in my life, I need to know,

 DO YOU QUALIFY?

The Brother's Response:

You ask, do I qualify.
Can I fulfill your needs and become the man you need me to be?
My sister, are you prepared for what you've asked for?
Can you handle the responsibility?

Can you accept that, by GOD, I am the chosen?

one, the authority, the comforter, and the head?
Will you submit and willingly follow my path?
Or will you fight with me instead?

 

If I am your King, will you treat me as such?
Will I get the best of your beauty and poise?
Or will I be subjected to an appearance
neglected, and checked with some serious noise?
When I talk, will you listen?
I mean whole heartedly and feel me?
Or will you rush me just to make your point too?
Can I be the man at all times? Even when it hurts?
Or is it just when it's convenient for you?

Can you love me for me, and not who you wish I could be?
Will you see the strong Black Man within?
Or will you always remind me of the all

the past brothers behind me and make me pay for their sins?

If I don't send you flowers the day your co-worker
received some, will you know that I love you still?
Or will my good name be uttered along with those other doggish brothers?
Will you question if my commitment is real?

Will you be patient and teach me to understand you,
and allow my knowledge of your needs to grow?
Or will you shut me out when I ask, Baby
what's wrong?
Or will you respond with, "Well a REAL man would know!"

When we first met, what was it that caught your
eye? Was it my mind, my heart, my personality?
Or was it my suit, or my job, or do you love
what I drive, instead of what's driving me?

Yes I can, and I will, make love to you from midnight to the dawning of the sun.
But, if I tell you I'm tired, will you trust
I'm sincere or believe that there must be another one?
My sister, I love you and my heart can be yours. No woman could lead me astray.
But like you, I have needs, so I beg of you, please, in this love thang meet me half way.

In life's tough times I'll hold you, in the rough times I'll mold you;
your simplest wish will be my command.
My life is yours if need be.
Yes you can fully bleed me, and when hell comes, in your place, I'll stand.

A good relationship is a powerful institution that must be built on a foundation of two.
So to answer your question,
YES sister, I do qualify.


Now, more importantly.....!

Do you

25 THINGS A SISTA SHOULD NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR...

1. Never apologize for pursuing what makes you happy. Even if you need to quit your job, transfer schools, or move across country, always do what you really want.

2. Never apologize for using proper English. Keeping it real doesn't mean speaking Ebonics.

3. Never apologize for giving your best in a relationship that just didn't work out.

4. Never apologize for being successful. Only haters want to keep you at their level.

5. Never apologize for crying. Wear waterproof mascara and express yourself.

6. Never apologize for ten pounds you need to lose. People who truly care about you will accept you as you are.

7. Never apologize for being frugal. Just because you save your money instead of blowing it on the latest fashion emergency doesn't mean you're cheap.

8. Don't apologize for being a single Mom. Babies are a blessing.

9. Never apologize for treating yourself to something special.
Sometimes you have to show yourself some appreciation.

10. Never apologize for leaving an abusive relationship. Your safety should always be a priority.

11. Never apologize for keeping the ring even if you did not get
married.

12. Never apologize for setting high standards in a relationship. You know what you can tolerate and what simply gets on your nerves.

13. Never apologize for saying NO.

14. Never apologize for asking for what you want in bed. If you don't, then who will?

15. Never apologize for wearing a weave or braids. You bought it so it's yours.

16. Never apologize to your new friends about old friends. There's a reason she's been your girl from day one.

17. Never apologize for ordering dessert or more than one dessert.
 
18. Never apologize for dating outside your race. Just because you found Mr. Right across the color line doesn't mean you don't love your brothas.

19. Never apologize for demanding respect.  You are to always be treated as a queen.

20. Never apologize for not knowing how to cook. Even if you can't burn like Grandma you know how to order good take out. (Right Girl!)

21. Never apologize for your taste in clothes. It's your style.

22. Never apologize for changing your mind, it is your prerogative.

23. Never apologize for making a decision from your heart, even if others don't agree. You have to live with the consequences not them.

24. Never apologize for making more money than your man, you work hard and you deserve to get paid.

25. Never apologize for being you!

HIV / AID

c) EACH PARTNER BEARS EQUAL RESPONSIBILITY

In  my  opinion,  BOTH  parties  bear  the  RESPONSIBILITY  and  the  ACCOUNTABILITY,  because  EACH  one  must  KNOW  by  now  the  prevalence  of  the  spread  of  HIV/AID  and  each  understand  the  severity  of  this  disease.  We  KNOW,  that  MANY  aren't  HONEST  or  VIGILANT  concerning  who  THEY  choose  to  share  their  'blody  fliuds'  with...,  or  else  the  number  of  infections  would  be  declining.  So,  EITHER  'WE"  don't  care  or  believe  the  numbers  or  "WE'RE"  still  living  with  the  'mind-set'  that  "It  can't  or  won't  happen  to  ME"  !!!

7 "A's" Relationships Require !!!

Loving the "UNITY" in "US"...

LoveUnityNus aspires to bring
UNDERSTANDING, COHESIVENESS and HARMONY, through "LoveTALK", which breaks down the 7 languages of "LOVE"..., to enhance COMMUNICATION, to share with CLARITY and to stir up a desire to COMMIT, to understanding the need for...

1. attention  -  - a condition of readiness for such attention involving especially a selective narrowing or focusing of consciousness and receptivity

2. acceptance  -  the quality or state of being accepted or acceptable.

3. action  -   an act of will.

4. affection  -  a moderate feeling or emotion.

5. approval  -  an act or instance of approving.

6. affirmation  -  the act of affirming, a positive assertion.
 
and

7. appreciation  -  an expression of admiration and gratitude.

It  helps  to  embrace  the  important  of  "
Interpersonal Relationship Skills", because  it HIGHLIGHTS  the importants of dialoguing and UNDERSTANDING that it's MORE than a selfish exchange and finally a DEEPER, revelation of "The Nehemiah Factor" because it brings into focus how significant each INDIVIDUAL is..., in a group setting and how diverse "WE" are as a group..., now "WE" have come to embrace "OUR" diversities, because it's what GOD utilizes, to PROVOKE a oneness in HIM !!!

MEN

1. If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay. 2. Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior. 3. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. 4. Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that's not meant to be. 5. Slower is better. 6. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy. 7. If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then... Heck no you can't "be friends." A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. 8. Don't settle. 9. If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. 10. Don't stay because you think "it will get better. "You'll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better. 11. The only person you can control in a relationship is you. 12. Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently? 13. Always have your own set of friends separate from his. 14. Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. 15. Never let a man know everything. He will use it against you later. 16. You cannot change a man's behaviors. Change comes from within. 17. Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... Even if he has more education or a better job. 18. Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. 19. Never let a man define who you are. 20. Never borrow someone else's man. 21. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. 22. A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. 23. All men are NOT dogs. 24. You should not be the one doing all the bending... Compromise is a two way street. 25. You need time to heal between relationships...There is nothing cute about baggage... Deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. 26. You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you... A relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals... Look for someone complimentary, not supplementary. 27. Dating is fun... Even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right. 28. Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are and you're always readily available to him- he takes it for granted. 29. Never move into his mother's house. 30. Never co-sign for a man. 31. Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need. 32. Keep him in your radat but get to know others.

True Synchronized Love

True Synchronized Love
True  Synchronized  Love

5.  Forgiving  Love  -  It's  the  integrity  of  KNOWING,  that  no  one  is  prefect,  is  subject  to  mistakes  and  will  falter.     
6.  Compromising  Love  -  It's  a  willingness  to  feel  the  CONCERNS,  FEARS  or  MISUNDERSTANDING  of  "YOUR"  love...enough  to  release  your  stance  for  HARMONY. 
7.  Commitment  Love  -  It's  the  assurance  THAT  through  the  THICK  and  the  THIN,  the  "RELATIONSHIP"  is  solid.
 
The  Process  of  Unconditional  Love.
 

What  is  a  LoveUnityNus  Relationship ?

It's  when  your  "LoveUnity"  has  endured  the  Drama
the  Playgaming  and  the  unnecessary  Fears,  and  has  mutually  decided  that  you're  in  it  for  KEEPS.  It's  when  together  the  "LoveUnity"  has  come  to  PEACE  with  the... 

LOVETRUSTHONESTYCOMMITMENT and true INTIMACY.  

Choosing..., the CHOICE to CHOOSE

1. "Choice to Choose" - We ALL possess within "US" the power to choose. Remember GOD gives "US" freedom of choice. 2. "Letting-Go of the Drama" - We have to consciously choose to refuse to participate in the Drama, the Issue, the Problem, the PlayGaming, the Dirt and the WhatChaMoCallIt...... Remember GOD is of Peace. 3. "Coming out of the WILDERNESS" - Once "WE" have been BLESSED with new revelation, new knowledge or new awareness implement it, act on it or make it applicable to "your" renewed spirit...... Remember GOD's plan for "OUR lives, "Wholeness". 4. "Sharing the Healing" - As "YOU" share the healing, it begin to savor the Taste of Accomplishment, to express the Sound of Victory, to see the Look of Knowing, to expose the Aroma of Confident and to Feel the peace of Solidarity...... Remember GOD is of order. 5. "Life Lesson Learned" - Knowledge is POWER !!! Once "WE" learn the lesson, don't allow the devil to come STEAL the blessing, because "he" will definitely try. Understand the "WHO", "WHAT", "WHEN", "WHERE" and the "WHY"...... Remember GOD said, "in ALL thy getting...get "UNDERSTANDING". 6. "Enjoy the Healing" - Rest in the Quietness, Enjoy the Tranquillity and inhale the Peace...... Remember GOD leads "US" to SERENITY. 7. "Giving and Receiving Forgiveness" - If "WE" would allow the HOLY SPIRIT to woe "our" hearts, this part of the process, really wouldn't be as difficult. GOD has given "US" the example of "Unconditional Loving", by LOVING "us" despite "US", but "WE" really can't understand or grasp the POTENCY of this LOVE, because "WE" only have the world's love to compare it to......BUT if "WE" could only understand that GOD's LOVE is incomparable. If "WE" would understand GOD's orginal plan......"Let us make Man/Woman in our own image". If "WE" could only understand that GOD has a HEART of FORGIVENESS, then "WE" would understand through forgiveness comes PEACE.

Keeping a Relationship

Keeping a Relationship...requires "Intimate Communication" - a process by which very personal or private information is exchanged between individuals to enhance the INTIMACY of their relationship.Keeping a Relationship...requires "Limitless Honesty" - implies an unbounds refusal to lie, steal, or deceive in any way. Keeping a Relationship...requires "Commitment Trust" - to pledge to commit or place TRUST in one's care and staying TRUE to an agreement, pledge or vow with HONOR.

BUT, unfortunately today "WE" live in an "Instant Gratification" and the "Microwave Era", so if the Relationship isn't going in......, "Me, Myself and I" way, THEN it's just......find another lover.

Please understand, the easiest move to take in "Keeping a Relationship", requires WORK, so do "YOU" value the relationship enough to put in the necessary WORK ???

Healthy Relationship

1. Communication with HONESTY and TRUST, because "YOU" must feel free to share "YOUR" hidden thoughts, fears and uncertainty.
2. Love, because it give "YOU" a feeling of being wanted and needed.
3. Good healthy SEX with Fidelity, because it KEEPS everything in the relationship......BONDED
4. Compatibility and relaxing Fun, because it increases the spontaneity in the relationship
5. Responsibility and Accountability, because it serves as a blueprint as to the role "YOU" will assume in the relationship and allow room for needed adjustments.
6. Compromise, because there will be moment that "YOU" will have to release "YOUR" stance.....through the LOVE that is shared.
7. Commitment, because for a relationship to survive, there MUST be a COMMITMENT agreed upon.

"Running from the Chase"

What do I mean ?

When I speak of "Running from the Chase"

it's equivalent to "Running from the LOVE", not any love, but the LOVE. Have "YOU" ever thought about how you, were fine, when you were just hangin and chillin with the gurls / fellows...just kickin it. I mean "YOU" were just trippin, profilin and high stylin...you're NOT in no ""relationship" per se, you're just enjoying life. Then ALL of a sudden...it happens, "YOU" meet that special someone. The one THAT makes' you change your mind, about relationships and stuff. In the beginnning 'e'verythang's cool. I mean "YOU"RE" loving it. He / She sweatin "YOU" too. When she goes to the bedroom he's right behind her, cause "HE's" got her back. When he calls she dis ALL of her gurlfriends, cause "SHE's" gon stand by her MAN. Then approximately 3 to 9 months later, something happens...."We become instinctively aware of our vulnerabilities, once placed in each other's presence. We become aware of the brokeness inside and the need for completeness = WHOLENESS of self."

That's when "HE" start saying - Man forget "HER", she's crazy.

That's when "SHE" start saying - Gurl, "HE" ain't no MAN.

They both can see the MIRROR on the outside, but subconsciously or maybe consciously can't or refuses to LQQK on the inside of the mirror.

So the relationship has 1 of 3 rouths to travel.

1. Play it to Fake it = They play pretend that ALL is good and NEVER bring the issues to the table. As long as they have a Gurl / Boaz, e'verythang cool..

2. Confront the DRAMA = They bring the issues to the table, but that's when the "Name n Blame Game" starts. It's when "ghetto fallacious" - an isolated group, attempting to deceive or mislead communication begins.

3. StarBUCK moment = They bring the issues to the table and use good communication skills. It's when one refuses to belittle, attack or accuse another's actions.

It's a PROCESS, but if "YOU"RE" a FastTrack learner, it's possible to learn in "YOUR" right now relationship or the next one, you're blessed with.

1. "YOU" must KNOW and UNDERSTAND who you are. "YOU" must come to LOVE and ACCEPT you. "YOU" must be willing to do the work, of changing and strengthening your areas, of weaknesses or deficients.

2. Take the "Focus" off the outside of "YOU". LQQK deep at "YOU", especially on the inside. Understand, that "YOU", matter too.

3. Change what "YOU" can, accept what you can't. Become "YOUR" best "Gurlfriend" / "MalePal". Find "YOUR" passion.

4. Get a LIFE. You may need to kick "YOUR" computer to the curb. Give of "YOURSELF" to the helpless. When "YOU" do give, only give what you have. (You can't give an Apple, if you don't have an apple). If "YOU" don't LOVE yourself truly and completely, don't give away the little LOVE that you do have.

5. Forgive "YOURSELF" for playing the dumb, playing the fool and for crying...see 'me', "I'm the VICTIM". Release the PAIN - surrender (FORGIVENESS) and LOVE the hurt away. If it's NOT healing "YOU", get it go.

6. Guard "YOUR" heart, with the LOVE of self. Know "YOUR" limitations and "YOU" set your boundaries. Never COMPROMISE on solid foundations.

7. Test "YOUR" healing.

If "YOU" start feeling sick again, go back in the hospital. Open "YOUR" heart to receive "HIS" / "HER" love.

Enjoy "YOUR" new relationship.

It's the gift that GOD wanted you to have ALL the time.

LoveUnity

P.S. Things "YOU" need to understand:

IMPORTANT: Please KNOW that 2 sick persons in a "relationship" are infectious and toxic; ......can't HELP one another. ......will CONTINUE to cycle the illness. ......without an ANTIBIOTIC will cause the other to DIE

Intimate Communication - involves the willingness to share one's vulnerabilities, fears and anger. The willingness to allow and to trust the other, with this knowledge. It mean removing the "Walls of Protection".

Throughout this process, one will proceed with......

Limitless Honesty - involves sharing the hidden secret of the heart, it requires a "Commitment Trust", which is a Promise NEVER to violate the issues being revealed, throughout the life of the relationship. So the bottom line:

Write the Vision and make it plain. Test the Vision Live the Vision Trust GOD to perfect = to make perfect the Vision.

Example: Taking issue to the table..... Understanding "HER" boundaries / limitations. If #3 is violated, "YOU" are at a crossroad.

1. Staying out ALL night. 2. Infildelity 3. Lack of TRUST

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Understanding "HIS" boundaries / limitations. If #3 is violated, "YOU" are at a crossroad.

1. Spending to much money. 2. Refusing to KEEP sexually appease. 3. Infildelity

O.K., now that the 3 most important issues are on the table.

Each party admits, if neither issue is a problem for "HIM" or "HER" to deal with at this point in "HIS" or "HER" life at this presence moment.

O.K., so "SHE" comes front and center and admits. Spending to much money, yes I've had issues with this one in my past relationships. Then "SHE" share 3 lessons that were learned from her choice to spend to much money. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ O.K., so "HE" comes front and center and admits. Staying out ALL night, yes I've had issues with this one in my past relationships. Then "HE" share 3 lessons that were learned from his choice to stay out all night.

Then deal with # 2, then #3 and from the KNOWLEDGE gained, they are EMPOWERED to make an intelligent choice. #1. Problem in relationships: Not understanding that lying DESTROYS trust.

Work with the weaknesses. Praise the strengths ****************************************** Keeping a Relationship...requires "Intimate Communication" - a process by which very personal or private information is exchanged between individuals to enhance the INTIMACY of their relationship.

Keeping a Relationship...requires "Limitless Honesty" - implies an unbounds refusal to lie, steal, or deceive in any way.

Keeping a Relationship...requires "Commitment Trust" - to pledge to commit or place TRUST in one's care and staying TRUE to an agreement, pledge or vow with HONOR.

So, "Running from the Chase / LOVE", is refusing to do the WORK required to receive a "Healthy Relationship".

If "YOU" read this in it's entirety......GOD's blessings
