Taking The Journey

"I think the Sangria is done, let's go back outside and try to catch a breeze." I grabbed the pitcher and tried to maneuver my way back to the balcony without breaking my leg on a piece of furniture. I sat on the chaise lounge and loosened up my robe so my breasts would be exposed if I moved just a little. .............more detail

What’s your Passion?

I was listening to my pastor talk about finding your gifts or your passions in life. It really made me think. How many of us arepassionate about something we do? Do we have the freedom to find that gift, or are we too busy making money to pay the bills? Then my thoughts went to relationships. If we are not passionate about what we do in life, how can we be passionate witheach other?.............more detail

Sister

The early morning sun spilled in through the thin film of curtain, forcing my eyelids open. The blank walls of the bedroom were illuminated with the hues of yellows and oranges. Straight lines stretched across the room, above my body laying prone between the cotton sheets, calling me, compelling me to watch the performance..............more detail

Romance Is In The Air

I'm a writer of romance novels and as such I'm also an incurable romantic who believes that words sometimes speak louder than action and honesty is paramount. To me, romantic love is not a fantasy but it is the responsibility of the partners to ensure that the fire burns bright.

Men who are chronically critical

Have you ever known a man who tells you you're not good enough in one way or another? Some men (and women too no doubt) hold on to a woman by making her feel that she's not quite good enough.

Twin Flame

It is my understanding, that in life, we meet several soul mates, people who come in our lives to help us resolve issues and grow spiritually. We feel an instant 'connection' with them, like we've known them forever. Soul mates are usually aligned with the same goals and have relationships that usually have a very harmonious tone to them but can dissolve when the purpose is fulfilled..............more detail

THE 'TOO-STRONG' BLACK WOMAN

Have you ever heard a black woman bemoan the lack of 'qualified brothers' eligible for her to date? Boy, have you! Have you heard about her being 'intimidating,' having to 'pretend' to allow a man to 'wear the pants,' or, in other words, about her just being too strong for the average black man?.............more detail
