In Case You Want SOTU Info

Extra post alert! Since I said we’d be covering more politically-oriented fare (even as the personal life-affirming choices we make may seem political to some), I wanted to remind any interested readers the first State of the Union address from President Obama in 2012 is scheduled to air tonight at 9PM EST.

AOFB Revisits: Financial Acumen

I’m getting the jump on an upcoming post discussing 2012 blog memes and sharing this one early. The Revisiting series will highlight one or two posts whose content garnered a lot of interest and deserves a review to accommodate newer readers and long-time blog friends alike. It’s another tool for evaluating your education and [...]

Preparing Yourself For Prosperity Plus In 2012 & Beyond

HAPPY 2012.

Consider every day a new baby day to nurture with the slate wiped clean. We may have the outward appearance of being together. Like with the assumption that every thin person is in superb health, our beliefs may hold inaccuracies. We may intellectually be able to identify our [...]

Have You Read The Holstee Manifesto?

Live.

Your.

Dream.

So obvious – but so misunderstood. Living is defined as having an existence, being nourished, to behave in a particular way amongst other descriptions. It’s an active series of steps versus passively meandering and waiting.

TRUST IN GOD & (WO)MAN

Gosh – this song still rocks! David Bowie’s Modern Love.

This 80’s classic is a song about being confident about love. Yes, despite the protagonist’s declaration of not “believing” in it, he still yields to Modern Love. I wonder if it’s biographical because that song was released before [...]

Evaluating Men For Alliances & Marriage Series #10: A Male Chauvinist Pig By Any Other Name Still Oinks!

There’s Nothing Casual About Casual Sex

True story. When I was in my early twenties I ran into a former HS classmate. We went on a few dates and while I appreciated his attention, I’d only allow him a kiss at the door. I wasn’t “sold” on him. That previous shared experience lent [...]

BWE Infiltrators & Posers Round Two: Black Woman-Haters Are Now Speaking On Our Behalf?!

I am sooo loathe to mention this DBR fool’s name, so I’ll link to one of my earlier posts that analyzed his denigration of our First Lady, Michelle Obama instead. Having just re-read it, I must say it was brilliant. One of my best posts and that was the summer when DBR-ville and [...]

Psycho-Babble Today Sez They're Sorry. So What!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ZeLzdhUK0″>

I ignored jumping too deeply into the feeding frenzy that resulted from the poison arrow lobbed at black women by the quack scientist and once-esteemed rag Psycho(logy) Today. They aimed..and missed! “We apologize…” so says, Editor-In-Chief Kaja Perina. Don’t you just feel the remorse? Nope? Me either! Well..this isn’t an Anita Baker song, so [...]

Why Is Thinking About Your Needs First Still So Difficult For Black Women?

Perhaps, I should ask why putting yourself FIRST is such an anomaly for some black women who are reading BWE-related blogs? Do those readers ever notice they have failed to apply the basic principles in utilizing their free agency by not being concerned about what other people (be it black males or white [...]

Inspirational Quotes: Della Reese

“….Stumbling blocks become stepping stones that elevate you….” Rev. Dr. Della Reese-Lett

Since, I’ve unplugged the television – except for one or two shows and other non-productive media -  I have been listening to podcasts and watching videos from people who have shaped lives and lifestyles I admire and aspire to.  The one [...]
