For our daughters

I have experienced a lot of heartbreak and disrespect from men. Eventually I realized that the majority of the abuse happened, not because I deserved it, but because I allowed it. Thinking that if I loved him right, or if I was "nice" enough, he wouldnt disregard my feelings. As mothers we must share our downfalls with our daughters. We must let them know that they're the most valuable beings on earth, and that their happiness is directly connected to knowing their worth, and settling for nothing less than the utmost #love and respect. God created us to love and nurture, and it starts with self; there is an amazing power in the word "NO"!

Love Is The Key

Love Is The Key

When society steals her identity and leaves her feeling everything other than beautiful,
LOVE IS THE KEY!
When the past hurt, past pain, and past disappointments that are her reality chip away at her security, and her ability to trust,
LOVE IS THE KEY!
When her God-given desire to love, and to nurture strip away her armor, leaving her naked, vulnerable, and unprotected,
LOVE IS THE KEY!
When the harsh reality how uncivilized our civilization was founded leaves him feeling invisible,
LOVE IS THE KEY!
When the echo of the word “no!”, and the boom from the doors being slammed in his face ring loud in his head, leaving him feeling frustrated, and irrelevant,
LOVE IS THE KEY!
When his journey to be YOUR KING, YOUR BOAZ, YOUR PROTECTOR, drains him of every ounce of manhood that he could pull from deep within,
LOVE IS THE KEY!

Fellas: Affirm that queen, provide for that queen, and protect that queen!!!!!!!!!!!
Sistas: Affirm that King, pay attention to that King, and recharge that King!!!!!!!!!! #blacklove #love #couples #marriage #engaged

Make Time For Who Matters

There's nothing that disrupts the flow, and connection between lovers like a busy schedule.  You know, the early morning departures, the long grueling hours, and the late night arrivals back home...with only enough time to eat, shower, and steal a few hours of sleep before the routine begins again.  And the weekends, well more often than not, they are only an extension of a very long work

week, except for the few seconds you manage to squeeze in to steal a quick kiss, and a little flirting.  I mean, yea we make quick calls during the day to say hi, or send a cute text to let her know she's on our mind, but is that enough?  Well if you're anything like me, its definitely not enough! SO WHAT DO YOU DO????? What do you do when you're missing your baby, your lover, your best friend, and you have everything to give, except time?  Well I've been working 12-14 hour days for the last three weeks, and I know exactly what I'm gonna do...MAKE TIME! I refuse to let the monotony of punching the clock and paying bills disturb the groove that Tara and I have.  So I think that a "special evening" is long overdue.  Y'all know what I'm talking about...a night that requires candles, wine, jazz, and of course, ...#blacklove #love #marriage #engaged

Fashionably Delicious!

I love summer!  All the color, fun, and excitement it provides! There's something about being with the one you love during this season. Whether on a stroll through the park, holding hands along the beach, or taking in an outdoor concert, these outfits are perfect for the occasion! Keep it simple, but sexy, and the night is sure to be a pleasurable one!;) #blacklove #fashion #love #couples #marriage #engaged
