It just baffles me when you find yourself in a better place in  life, when you have overcome so much, when you finally realize that you need to turn things around, When you begin to follow the path that leads you to bigger and better things, there seems to always be someone lurking in the shadows trying to remind you of who you once were. Some of us have experienced many up and downs and some of us have made many mistakes; mistakes that we may be ashamed of to this very day. But guess what, you are not your past. We all have flaws...perfection does not exist. We all have to fall down and sometimes be broken in order to be that strong man or woman we are destined to be. It’s true that some people’s life journeys are more difficult than others and there are some that just breeze through life with a silver spoon in their mouth; but you have to understand that every single person that walks on this earth life paths are different from the other...not one is the same whether your ric

If a man or woman really wants you, nothing can keep them away. If they do not want you, nothing can make them stay no matter how hard you try...so please stop making excuses for this man or woman and their behavior. Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be but only for a moment. Some relationships end because of mistreatment, communication issues and/or a lack of respect. Do you believe that is what you deserve? Once you finally decide to leave, you want to continue to remain friends...Do you think that is a good idea to remain friends with someone who didn't treat you right in the first place...well, guess what,.. a friend wouldn't mistreat a friend! (I'm just saying). Don't settle for less you are stronger then that and KINGS/QUEENS do not accept anything less then they deserve..Why?..Because they do not have time for the BULLSHIT!. If your intuition is telling

So you’ve found love? You’ve finally found that one person who is willing to walk that journey with you. You’ve decided to widen your options to someone who is currently incarcerated. You’ve listed all of the pros and cons and have ultimately decided to go with the flow of things and give this relationship a chance that society would normally frown upon. There are men and women locked up that want to walk the walk with you, people ready to commit and contribute to your life. But there are some who has ulterior motives, temporary situations with exclusive benefits for self. When things do not go according to the beautiful plans that were presented to one another that is when you realize that you have made a big mistake. You have become one of the many expected statistics of a failed prison marriage/relationship. Join me as we go through this journey with other strong women and men who have shared their stories of love, hurt, regret and the decision to finally let go of something that wa

"God is Love", but how do we define it? The American Heritage Dictionary defines love as "an intense affection for another person based on familial or personal ties". Often this "intense affection" stems from a sexual attraction for that other person. We love other people, or we say we love other people, when we are attracted to them and when they make us feel good. Notice that a key phrase in the dictionary definition of love is the phrase "based on". This phrase implies that we love conditionally; in other words, we love someone because they fulfill a condition that we require before we can love them. How many times have you heard or said, "I love you because you are cute;" or "I love you because you take good care of me;" or "I love you because you are fun to be with"? Our love is not only conditional, it is also mercurial. We love based on feelings and emotions that can change from one moment to the next.

The term soul mate means many different things. These are souls that you have experienced with in past, parallel or future lifetimes. They can also be aspects of your soul experiencing at this time in another body. We are all multidimensional beings, your soul having experiences, in many realities, at the same time. As we all evolve from the same source of consciousness creation, we could say that we are all soul mates in a manner of speaking. Soul mate is sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, friendship, love, intimacy, sexuality, and/or compatibility. Soul mates can have various types of relationships, which do not always include romantic love. They can be close friends, co-workers, a teacher, anyone who influences your life one way or another. They play the emotional, spiritual, physical, and mental, games of third dimension with you. They can affect relationships in a positive or negative way depending on the emotional issu

My other half, Never for a moment in my wildest dreams would I have thought that I ever would Encounter a love so open and deep.  Never would I Have thought that this love would open up so many many possibilities of happiness and oneness…I've always prayed for a love like this as a mere young woman; Who knew that the universe heard my cry from within and would send a love so great in the form of  a man that I truly adore!

There's only a chosen few who gets to experience such a beautiful thing called "True Love" while the majority sits around wishing they had it. But everyone seem to have their own personal description of what exactly true love is, feels and looks like; when in reality a person can't describe it unless he or she has been struck by it. It comes by every once in a while taking hold of two strangers who later becomes well documented as friends, partners, and companions for life.  We didn't choose it for ourselves, it chose us because as humans of emotions, we can't help who we happen to fall in love with! So as a woman who has been struck by a beautiful thing, I don't have to pretend to know what it is like to be in love because I've been in love a couple of times, but I do know that true love is enduring...It's knowing the truth about someone and still wanting to be with them above all others no matter what their flaws maybe. True love is capti

You are the makeup that covers me up with love when I’m in need of it. You are the beauty and the strength that gravitates around me and thru me. You are in every sense of my being and there isn’t a second that I’m not thinking about you and needing you near. I love when I call out to you from with-in, you always answer by either a phone call or a letter…it’s like you know when I’m feeling you, needing you, calling upon you and you never fail to answer. We are so spiritually connected that only GOD can break apart this infinite union. You are my twin soul, my Siamese twin connected to my heart of one accord, so if you shall ever leave or separate from me my heart would stop beating, my life would come to a complete end, cause with-out your love I would cease to exist. You are my husband, my king and I am your queen who sits at your throne with my head held high in GOD’s grace and love; Inhaling every bit of your royal essence, mesmerized by the power that you illuminate over

People often say, 'You only live once,' as an excuse for reckless choices. But every action, especially intimacy, leaves a mark on our energy and soul. Our bodies and auras—the energy fields surrounding us—interact with others constantly, shaping who we are.  Sexual connections are especially powerful, creating bonds that intertwine our DNA, karma, and spiritual essence, sometimes for lifetimes. True harmony comes from merging with someone who matches your energy—a Twin Soul. This union elevates you, unlocking creativity, love, and growth. On the flip side, casual or mismatched connections can drain your energy, muddy your aura, and disrupt your path. Think of your body and spirit as a sacred vessel. Guard your energy. Choose connections that rejuvenate, not deplete. Even if past choices weren’t ideal, it’s never too late to cleanse, forgive, and realign. Your soul deserves love and purity, and your Twin Soul awaits when you’re ready to embrace that sacred bond.&quo

God is referred to many times as the Master Potter...the molder and shaper of our lives. Few of us have trouble with the idea of GOD shaping and remolding us as individuals, but how often do we think of GOD remolding us as a couple? After all, if man and wife are "one flesh," wouldn't it stand to reason that God shapes marriage relationships too? Perhaps this is what God is doing in your life, but you haven't realized it. The changes that occur in a process like this can make you very uncomfortable, therefore, sleep may have eluded you as you've searched for answers to your pain. Great emotional upheavals can take place when children are born or leave home, when finances are altered or jobs lost. A husband can become upset when his wife starts a career, and a wife can be...beside herself during her husband's "mid-life crisis." But, as painful as these things are, they're all part of God shaping and molding us...not only as individuals, but as

My Beautiful Queen, Time Can not measure the love I have for you in my heart!

This was letter submitted to me by a man who is currently in a long distance relationship with what he describes as the "woman of his dreams"...unfortunately this couple is going through a rough patch and he asked me to publicly send this letter to his girlfriend as an apology....So Amanda (and I will also send this to her email) This is from Ron to you!!! No one in this entire world could ever take your place in my life because you are the one who I live for and would die for if need be. With out you, there is no me, and I would surely die if something was ever to happen to you. So I apologize if I offended you when I expressed my worries and concerns in a bold, but insecure way. I love you! You know this....it kills me to be unable to express it the way that I want. So I curl myself up in my bed overnight; missing you; thinking about you; and hoping that when I close my eyes GOD would bless me again with the comfort of your presence...even if it's only a dream for a

It's my duty to make all your dreams come true; and no matter what, I dedicate my life to that cause, because I vow to honor you, make you happy, and always love you no matter what until death do us apart.

When I was a child, I didn't know what love was because I wasn't shown that love and affection from my parents the way a parent suppose to show love and affection to their child. I'm not saying that my parents didn't love me, because I knew they did and they still do, but unfortunately I wasn't given hugs as often as my friends around me nor did I receive parental advice from my mother, kisses ettc. The nurturing motherly love I deserved growing up was given all to the man that was in her life at the time . When a child lacks those things from her/his parents especially a little girl, she grows into a woman looking for that love and affection from people that will see her vulnerability and take advantage of that weakness and potentially use that weakness against her. I grew up into that woman who's weaknesses were taken for granted over and over again until I was tired of constantly being hurt and emotionally abused by the men who I thought that loved me but de

Being of service to others by committing a selfless act is a very gratifying experience, and not just for yourself but especially for the person who is on the receiving end. As I was checking out homeless shelters online in my area that I would like to volunteer for a thought crossed my mind which brought up a very interesting conversation with my significant other...we as a people complain so much about what we don't have instead of being grateful for what we currently have been blessed with in our lives. There are people in the world who are struggling to care for themselves and others but they live on because of patience and faith.  According to the  “ Charlotte-Mecklenburg Point-in-Time Count "  the past several years (2010-2017) homelessness has decreased significantly due to increased outreach programs, state funding, housing and job opportunities to name a few. All of these programs gives hope for the families that are currently struggling. When we give of ourselve

There are a GREAT deal of men in this world who takes a great woman for granted and there are a lot of women who also takes advantage of a good mans love that he may have for her, but love is an emotion that motivates a persons' actions! It's not a four letter word that deceives the air like most people treat it...once it pierces the heart of two people, their actions become one moving to the same rhythm of each beat. The person that you once loved, cared for and gave your all too who also took your love for granted was a person that truly didn't love you in the first place. Their actions back then were immature and motivated by what is often mistaken for love...lust of the flesh, a temporary feeling that can cause so much drama and emotional turmoil. True love is infinite, it last and endures for all time. So granted that you truly love someone whole heartily, your actions will forever dwell in harmony with love, producing one mind, one heart and one soul granted in

I am told that the muscles of the face are capable of over 250,000 different combinations of expressions. And one of the most useful is a smile. And though I'm a fan of kissing, I appreciate that smiling is still one of the best things I can do with my lips. Sometimes I hear or read something that is so true I know I will never forget it. One of those gems is an observation from Fulton J. Sheen, who said, "A smile across the aisle of a bus in the morning could save a suicide later in the day." Over the years, I've come to realize the magnitude and truth in that statement. People NEED the healing medicine of the heart that just a smile, even from strangers, provides. In fact, we all need it. And for some folks, that medicine can save a life.  One psychiatrist puts it like this. Dr. Thomas Malone, of Atlanta, Georgia, says, "In my practice at the Atlanta Psychiatric Clinic, people sometimes ask me what psychiatry is all about. To me, the answer is increasingly clea

Is Love Suppose To Hurt?  (Not like this) We all have felt the hurt of love.  But is love suppose to hurt?  Yes and no. YES  . . .  love  hurts when we don't have it, lose it, don't get enough of it, and miss it  . . . NO  . . .  love is NOT suppose to hurt us, at least someone who says they love us we expect them not to hurt us, not intentionally, not repeatedly, not without stopping or learning to change  . . . It's seems foolish to love someone who constantly hurts you  & continues to consistently cause you pain. It's even crazier to believe the lies that they're sorry when they make the same mistake again and again, and we can't be play the victim each and every time we get hurt by them because it's  our fault that we allowed them to depreciate our value and worth not once or twice but a few and possibly many times. Sometimes the love we have for someone is so strong that it makes us blind to the fact that anything that they did or do to us does no

Feeling Blue & Not Sure Where to Turn? by Jane Powell "The best person for the job is you!" When you're depressed, it helps to know that there is someone by your side who is caring, compassionate and who understands what you are going through. Guess what? The best person for that job is you! When you're feeling down, be compassionate and patient with yourself. Treat yourself gently, as you would a good friend. Give yourself time and space to get through the tough times. Remember, you have survived hard times before; and, as you treat yourself with TLC, you will get through this rough patch, too. CONNECTED FOR LIFE Do you find yourself pulling away from others, especially if you've experienced a crisis or deep disappointment? Maybe the most difficult thing we can do is to be with people when we don't feel like being around anybody. We need other people and we'll never thrive as human beings in isolation.
