Today is Mother’s Day. For many it’s a time of celebration, but for many black Mothers it is their 911. It is the day their hearts are filled with sadness for the lives of their children unjustly taken away. Let us in black community stand together in solidarity with the grieving mothers.

The World Needs Love

Hate is destroying the world and tearing families apart. Hate has cause many families unnecessary grief. No good can come of hate. What the world need is love and tolerance. We must find a way to live together as one.

The Art of Writing

What do you snack on when you write? For me it’s peanuts or mixed nuts that include almonds and cashew. I just love snacking on them. Unlike many Authors I am not a coffee drinker. The desire to write keeps me awake.

Writing Takes Discipline

Writing takes discipline. With all the distractions you have to stay focused. Setting a goal of a daily word count can help you to finish your project on time. Good luck and happy writing.

Have Faith

It is important to have faith especially now. Some of of us have found our strength tested. So many of us have learned to be strong in the face of fear. We must keep doing this. We must keep hope alive.

Life can Change in a Flash

Who could have told us when we welcomed the year 2020 that in a few weeks life as we knew it would change? Who could have imagined that we would be lining up to go to the supermarket, the pharmacy or to get food from the food banks. Who could have predicted that so many would be jobless? Yes a lot has changed, but we must stay strong as we try to get through it.

Mistakes Women Make

Relationships can a complex thing and it takes both partners to make it work. The mistake a lot of women make is expecting an overgrown boy with no ambition, to play the role of a man.

Recently I felt bad for an individual who found her self in an unfortunate situation. She had a guy who wasn’t working. She was working three jobs, paying all the bill while he stayed idle with a lot of time on his hands. As the saying goes while the cat’s away the mice will play and that is exactly what he did. While she worked, he cheated.

I don’t say a woman can’t help a man while he tries to get on his feet but in your quest for love you must be wise. If you are out working putting food on the table and your man is showing you no appreciation stop and think. Is it worth it? If at the end of the day you are not coming home to a home cooked meal or even having him there to greet you when you walk through the door, ask yourself, does he care. If he never has time for you, do you really need him? A man with no plan or goal in life will drift from woman to woman and when he is old becomes a burden to the woman who was foolish enough to hang on to him. Be wise don’t waste your time on deadbeat men.
