Why Being 40 & Single Might Not Be Such A Bad Idea

Women and men share a different vantage point on singleness. For the most part, if you are a woman and you are approaching 40 and you are single you might as well wear a scarlet A on your chest.

Good Guys Always Finish Last

I trusted someone with all my heart once. It was the best feeling of my life. Do you know what it feels like to believe in someone or something so much that your mind never questions, never hesitates, never doubts? It's security. Then that trust was broken, smashed like glass hitting cement, like an iceberg hitting the Titanic; obliterated by one act of disloyalty. Sure on the surface the wound looks like it would heal, but internally the damage is still having an effect. They say when you boil something Read more [...]

4 Ways to Love Being Single on February 14th

Here we are 3 days removed from the day the entire world celebrates love. But lets be honest, it is also a day that singles get ostracized, and sometimes not on purpose.

Irreconcilable Differences

Today I Write

Today I Write. Today I write for the tortured soul. Today I write for the wife whose husband keeps cheating on her and she doesn't know why. I write for the loyal girlfriend who has the disrespectful, non-affectionate boyfriend. I write for the mother who gives her all to her ain't sh** kids.

3 Reasons To See 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi

Michael Bay puts us on the front lines of war in his new film 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. This isn't Transformers or even Armeggedon, there is nothing Hollywood-ish about this true story that took place four years ago. When Hilary Clinton announced her run for the democratic nomination, Benghazi was on the tip of everyone's tongue. What wasn't on their tongue was the six soldiers that saved Americans when America didn't even come to their rescue. If you are reading this article to Read more [...]

The Ultimate Blueprint Tour with Vivica Fox, Wendy Raquel, Towanda Braxton & more!

Out with the old in with new! The new year is loved not because of the fireworks, the overload of alcohol, or the free kisses at midnight. No, the new year is loved because of the fresh start it gives everyone. Although many strive to be a better person each day, its something about January first that says clean slate. On social media I saw a flood of status updates, tweets, and memes, that said the same thing: "Today is the first page of your 365 page book." People began their career journeys, Read more [...]
