Once humans are past the bloom of youth, they began to crave the type of love that we were created for: Eros. Some people search their whole lives for this romantic type of love and for the most part it is very trial and error. Most people pull from what they have seen from the adults they grew up with.

Sounds easy. The problem is, Read more [...]

Love Me Ugly
Everyone has a preference, maybe he likes thick women, maybe she likes men with beards. Maybe she doesn't like short guys, maybe he doesn't like women with short hair.

What you deem ugly doesn't matter, because if a man is ugly to a woman, he can make her laugh and feel safe and he's no longer ugly anymore. Same for women, some qualities make men who would otherwise see her as unattractive start to Read more [...]
5 Lessons You Learn About Marriage From The Outside Looking In
If you follow me on social media, then you are probably aware that I was just in North Carolina celebrating the 5th Anniversary of some really good friends of mine.

Why call it My Black Is Beautiful?
A close friend of mine (of non-black decent) asked me; why isn't it titled ALL HUMANS ARE BEAUTIFUL? I paused at first, as I shared her same feelings.
