In a world where the wrongs that he has done is spoken about more frequently than what is good about him. I see the beauty in black unions,I see the beauty in black souls connecting, I see beauty in being by his side. The issue is, he no longer sees beauty in me. We walk paths these days paved with the broken connections. Couples who once professed to be so deeply in love now pretend to not know each other. We walk paths  where you can pour the purest of love into the vessel of a man/woman and they remain empty. On one side, we have black men who believe that black women have lost their worth. They have lost the meaning of what it means to be a Queen. The black man believes that the black woman has wrapped herself in the labels that society has placed on her. The black woman is ofte...

I know I will probably receive a lot of backlash for this post, but that has never stopped me before. I grew up in the church and still hold a lot of my values to the scriptures. However, I struggle with many things in the BIBLE and what makes it worse is that I'm ridiculed for asking questions of men who claim to receive interpretations from the God of the BIBLE. One of the things that forever resonates on my mind is the fact that if I was born in another part of the world I would believe with all my heart and mind in that religion and God. Why is it that Christians are so quick to speak down on the religious views of others when in truth and in fact many of them became Christians simply because  they were cultured to do so.  We are told that the word of God remains the same. Yet, we have so many denominations changing bits and pieces of the word to form their own ideologies. When did the God of the Bible give man the authority to do so? Why is it that reasoning and thinki...

You are at that point in your relationship where you couldn't be happier. He is flooding you with the complete five start treatment. He calls you to check up on you and he reminds you everyday as to how much you mean to him. His words and nice treatment are leading you to slowly open your legs for him. To erase all doubt from your mind he then says he loves you. All you needed to hear was the proclamation of love. You have given into what you perceived to be love. The sex is over and now hes's changing. He doesn't make plans to go out anymore, he doesn't text you as often, he doesn't tell you how happy you make him anymore and the five star treatment is now down to a barely visible one star. What went wrong? He introduced the D and that was all he wanted to do. You were so giddy an in need of a little attention that you fell for a couple sweet words and a little effort. A little effort went a far way for him. You will never hear the words love again from ...

Think back to when you were younger as to the professions you were encouraged to choose from. About 70% of the people I came across would encourage me to be a lawyer, while the remaining 30% encouraged me to be a teacher like my father. My mother taught me to read very well before I started basic school. My birthday gifts were books every year. I loved reading and I fell in love with poetry from a very young age. I fell in love with the news and reporters in particular, and I knew the profession I was meant for was that of a journalist. This was frowned upon by many as I was told that journalism will not bring me enough money to live a lavish lifestyle. I've never told anyone that I was in search of a lavish lifestyle. Despite the discouraging feedback, I went to University and did journalism just the same. No, I'm not working as a journalist to date but I still have that dream. Throughout my time working on getting my qualifications in the media field, I ventured into my true...

When you come across someone who has made sacrifices, they have given everything in the name of loving someone and was taken advantage of, don't disturb them unless you plan to finally love them the way they deserve.This individual still finds the will to love simply because they love love and they love to give love despite how they have been treated. When you come across someone who is healing or has healed never disturb the beauty of their soul unless you plan to pour your love into it. This individual has a rare soul that needs to be protected, This individual does't need anyone who is unsure of what part they will play in your life. This individual will give you a love that will leave you with no questions because they know how it feels to question everything. However, this individual will crave daily reassurances because they fear wasting years on a ship that is leading nowhere but to capsizing. If you aren't willing to make an effort and give them the love that they...

Image Source: Google Images I have been using Dr Bronner Castile soaps for about a year now. I've been using the Pepperment flavour the longest and what draws me to the product is the lovely natural smell and the natural ingredients. A little of this soap goes a long way. The soaps can be used as a detergent, to wash your hair and to shower with. I use it solely for the purpose of bathing while my my mother occasionally uses it to wash her hair. If you are looking to get away from chemical filled products this is an amazing alternative. The peppermint is my absolute favourite because you get this cool refreshing feeling when you step out of the bath and who doesn't love that feeling? As far as cost goes it's very reasonable seeing that you don't need to use a lot for each use. I would highly recommend the use of this product especially for those just starting out on their natural journey from the inside out. I suffer from eczema so I fully support a...
