I don’t know if I’m the only person who attracts these types- but I find that when I meet guys they instantly want to be possessors of me. You know how they say that when a woman meets a man she likes, she begins to fall into fantasies about how they will spend their life together. Well for me- it’s the other way around.
Are you ready to have valuable relationships? Do you want to be successful? The key to success in relationships and life means that you exchange your purpose.
As dreamers you will encounter far more than challenges, struggles, and hard times. You will also encounter many characters. Some characters will be out-going and helpful, while other characters will be annoyed by the fact that you are actually going after your dream. And in the midst of all the characters and personas, you have to stand strong and continue to go after what you want in life.

We all have them. Little habits and daily routines that tend to rule our world. Little procedures and policies that we live by. It’s part of our morning routine. How we get up—before the alarm; after the snooze button’s been hit 2-6 times; silently, to nature, loud music, a beep-beep, tweet-tweet; or not until we hear the patter of little feet running down the hall and the smell of baby’s breath in our face.

The early years of my marriage were long-distance, with me living in Philly and my husband in North Carolina. When our son was born, hubby would come home on the weekends looking for me to be the person I was before baby—all in, dressed, pressed and ready. Not! Especially after working 9 to 5 AND single parenting all week. On the weekends I was looking for some rest and some help. High heels and a sexy dress were not on my agenda for Friday night. I had to be suited up all week at work and pj’s had fast become my desired weekend attire.
….as in taking a vacation from your friends.
Sometimes we get so involved in other people’s routines that it takes us away from pursuing our own goals. Every now and then its wise to take some time to yourself to reintroduce yourself to the things you really love.
You’ve heard of women with fake breasts. They usually say they came to the decision to get them because it makes them feel more feminine. And honestly, to each their own. For women who dream of holding high positions in companies or start their own business, its not the girls with fake breasts that concern them. It’s the men with fake balls.
Are you bold enough to air out your dirty laundry? Kelly Rowland recently released a song called “Dirty Laundry” where she airs out her former bittersweet feelings towards Beyonce’s success during a time when she was in an abusive relationship. The song is heart wrenching, and it takes the listener back to 90s RnB. As beautifully painful and gossip-worthy as the song is, you can’t help but think—“Could I ever be that transparent?”
How do you view yourself when you’re face-to-face with a person whose self perception is inflated? When you’re around another person who thinks more of themselves, how do you respond to them? Does it make you angry or do you feed their ego? The way that you react to them says a lot about how you perceive yourself.

Years ago a male friend who was in a serious relationship and contemplating marriage, proposed to test his girlfriend’s love by seeing what she would do if approached by one of his friends. She had never given him any reason not to trust her, but he wanted to put her love to the test. Would she take the bait or shut him down? It was the dumbest/craziest thing I had ever heard of (at the time), and the two guys had it all planned out. Where he would meet her. His opening line. Topics of discussion. I asked questions about how he would handle possible repercussions of “the sting”. Like her taking the bait; the friend discovering he digs her; the fight that would ensue between two old friends; the end of their relationship. Her finding out; her hating him for doing it; her not being able to trust him anymore; the end of their relationship. “Who does that?”, I asked. “Love gets tested enough on its own merit. Is your test really worth it, and how would you feel if someone did that to you? Better yet, could you pass the test?”
