To my pleasant surprise I was in the company, of a very gallant suitor over the weekend. Not only was I impressed by his personality, but just the sheer enjoyment he seemed to have at courting me and spending time with me. So often, we are misled into thinking that great guys with old school morals aren’t out there. Last night, I found out there … Continue reading Chivalry: Does It Still Exist??
“Hello”, I say into the receiver as I answer my work phone. “Look at my facebook page”, my sister replies back to me from the other end of the phone. “Why?”…”You’ll see”, she says. I log into my facebook account and click on my sister’s page. I read her FB status: ”1 out of every 10 people are born gay. That means 1 out of … Continue reading The Gay Debate: Is It Really a Choice?
I’ve been appalled by recent news of suicides among young people who have been bullied because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender or because others perceive them to be LGBT. It is a tragedy that students are being bullied or harassed without mercy because of their sexual orientation or gender identity – or simply because of who their tormentors think they are.

The sun shone bright on her skin. It penetrated deep within her pores warming up her soul just like his kiss used to. Stimulating parts within her that she didn’t even know existed. This was love. Hot, steamy, intoxicating; lost in her own thoughts on a cloud so high that she never wanted to come down. She floated in and out of his love, always … Continue reading Soul Colored Love
People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime, so they say. Most of us, if we’re lucky have a great circle of friends. Some of us have the same friends we had during childhood while others establish life long friendships later on in life. Whatever the circumstance, one fact remains true, and that is the need to connect and … Continue reading FRIENDSHIPS:: Are they seasonal or for a lifetime?
As humans we are born with the gift of choice! From the time we are children, we begin to grow into ourselves. We do this by choosing which toys we like to play with the most, which friends we like best and even which foods we eat. As we grow older our choices demand greater contemplation. With age comes the realization that what we choose … Continue reading When It Comes To Love Can We Choose Who We Fall In Love With?
I think anyone who is an adult has had “First Date Sex”. Regardless of the level of respect we have for ourselves, I think at least once, we have all been swept away in a steamy moment. Now, does this qualify as a bad move? I think it does in regards to the role a woman plays. Though we feel we are mature enough … Continue reading First-Date Sex:: Is there a double standard?
We often hear how we should have a great self esteem and have a healthy sense of self. Whether it’s being said by family or friends, I can totally agree. But, what happens when not only we think we are worth an abundance but the opposite sex seems to think so too? It would be nice to say that this is highly appreciated. But, I’ve … Continue reading “Hot Commodity”
So, what’s the hoopla with the term “FRIEND”? It seems that practically the whole world has fallen victim to this epidemic. It’s a circumstance of denial and untruth. This word is now an easy pretense to putting true meaning to what a relationship might really be. It appears that “friend” has been substituted for – Boyfriend, Girlfriend, Mistress, Ex, and any other imaginable un-platonic connection … Continue reading Are We Really Just “Friends”?
