Stop Playing House: Things you should avoid doing if you don’t want a serious relationship



The most important element of any relationship is communication. But unfortunately, we STILL don’t talk about so many things that are vitally important. The conversation never goes to the point of clearly stating the "rules of engagement"!



One person in the relationship may think that since they spend most of their time with their boyfriend / girlfriend, enjoy that person’s company, can save money the bills, that living together would… Continue

Homophobia: Are we still afraid of gay people?



One of the most memorable quotes by Shakespeare was the line in Antony and Cleopatra stating that we hate what we fear. These words were written over 400 years ago and that kind of hateful fear is still demonstrated today in America in some extremely painful ways.



The following are the number of hate crimes motivated by sexual orientation bias as reported by the Federal Bureau of Investigation under The Hate Crimes Statistics Act of… Continue

The Ride

The Ride

You start out in a neutral level,
Then the fun begins.
You throat's bone-dry
Your pulse is racing.
Your heart is pounding,
Faster and faster,
Louder and louder.
Not knowing where you are going.
Left or right.
No, up or down,
Just driving you up the wall.
Now you are slowing down,
And all your energy is drained.
Thank you for hopping on,
And I'll see you very soon.

Your Immune System: Can we naturally prevent and treat Cancer, HIV, and other diseases?



This time of year presents a unique challenge to our immune systems. Because we're not eating as many fresh fruits and vegetables or spending as much time outdoors exercising as the rest of the year, our bodies aren't getting the nutrients they need to stay well. This in turn makes us more susceptible to diseases.



All around us, coworkers are coughing and sneezing, kids are bringing more than homework back from school, and bacteria… Continue

TRAMP STAMP

Do you know what this is?.......First, before I get into this discussion I want to repeat a comment I refer to often. "A male will be a man, but it takes talent, effort and practice to be a gentleman. A female will be a woman, but it takes a special talent, effort and practice to be a lady."



Now, to the bootie mark. I was at work one day when me and my female partener engaged on the subject of women with tattoos. I personally don't like seeing women with tattoos and she and I shared…

Most important value of all is that of Integrity.

Perhaps the most important value of all is that of Integrity.



A Billionaire once said,"Integrity is not so much a value in itself; it is rather the value that guarantees all the other values."



This was a great insight for me! Once you have decided that you are going to live consistent with a value, your level of integrity determines whether or not you follow through on your committment. The more you discipline yourself to live consistent with the very best you know, the… Continue

Conversations in my head

Most people think about, what if? What if they win the lottery, and what will they do with the money. Not me, the conversations in my head go like this.



My biggest and worst fear in life is failing, failing my family, my wife, my kid, and most of all myself. I can’t fail, I have to attack life as if I have no choice but to be rich. The current state of my economy is rough on many people, me included. Crisis presents opportunity, I have position myself to succeed, but there’s no… Continue

Word Choices

It's my first Blog post. Wow ! It is very empowering to have a stage in which the world can read your thoughts. It's almost to much power for one individual to have. Technology is an amazing thing. Words are also very powerful.





Isaiah talks about the power of God's words.



So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. Isaiah… Continue

You know, I am thinking the situation that I was in. If it weren’t for my love of GOD and the strength that has been past down to me from my mother, mother’s mother and her mother, I don’t know where I would be.



To YOU (You know who you are Fraudster):

Chicken George Complex

I refer in title respectfully to the character “Chicken George” in Alex Haley’s “Roots played by the legendary Ben Vereen in the historical television mini series 1977. This character portrayed the struggle of a survival mechanism during slavery; entertain the master, win his approval, and either receive a reward or avoid a punishment. This idealogy will take its toll for generations to come.

As the slaves of old, so go we psychologically and emotionally! This need… Continue
