Healthy Relationships

-

Healthy relationships are important for ones well-being. We were created with "relationships" in mind if you take into consideration the creation of Adam and Eve. As easy as it is to explain what a relationship is, why do we find it so hard to build "healthy" relationships? Simply put relationships are the way in which 2 or more people are connected. There are social, physical, emotional, professional and romantic relationships just to name a few. But when it comes to romantic relationships people find it most difficult to define.

In today's society being in a romantic relationship is almost considered to be foreign. Side chicks are glorified, a baby mama will always be a fall back option, and just because he/she is married does not mean they are off limits to some. Saying it out loud sounds harsh but we must live in our truths. Our generation has lost sight of what is morally right or completely wrong.  It is sad to say but situationships are the new relationship status quo. Such as merely dating or stay in an unhealthy situation just to say you have someone to claim. We have to make an honest effort to stop lowering our standards for the sake of pleasing our flesh. Just think about how differently some situations may have turned out it you had not settled.
 
Before entering into your next relationship ask your potential spouse the big question: what is the purpose of our relationship? Well that's if you really want to know... No pressure. 😉 Purpose sets standards and provide direction. I do not know about you but time is very valuable honey, and we do not have any to waste in 2018!  More importantly if a person cannot clearly define what their intentions are for your lives then what is the point in dating them?

I am no relationship guru but in knowing better I just intend to do better and hope you choose to do the same.

Love effortlessly! `

Because She Did!

Cheers to new beginnings!  My 1st entry is dedicated to everyone that has ever been proud, encouraged, or inspired by me and just overall supportive.  You all are the very reason I decided to create a blog in the first place.  Whether it was becoming Homecoming Queen, becoming a college cheerleader, joining the military, obtaining these degrees, hosting events, joining the greatest sorority in the world, and even becoming a mom you all made me feel on top of the world.  It is not easy setting and accomplishing goals no matter how easy one may make it appear.  There are many obstacles both seen and unseen that one must endure and overcome to get to the finish line.  So I wanted to create an environment where we can continue to educate, support, and uplift one another because I understand that not everyone has the same support system.  However, what we ALL commonly have is the same 24 hours in each day to make something great happen! So with that bei...

Help Secures the BAG

The very foundation of a FAMILY starts with 1 man and 1 woman building together.  But living in a generation where relationships are for the weak that concept is only perceived by a few. These ho's for everybody, we ballin' no budgets 😉  and living our best single lives... but are we really? Lets talk about WEALTH for a second.  According to a report by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis "married" men are earning much more money, on average, than anyone else in America. Just look at some of the most prominent men in America: Warren Buffett, Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jay Z, they're all married.   Everybody wants to be rich, but who actually took the time out research what it takes to get there?  Granted you can be hella successful on your own, but how many of you know that two is greater than one?  For decades cross-sectional studies have been done on the correlation between wealth level and marital status.  Studies show that married...

Major Moves

If you're anything like me, then you know the struggles of finding your way through college.  Being the first in my immediate family to attend college was definitely a learning experience.  I had no clue what I was doing, I just went with what felt right.  I decided to share my experience with you all in hopes that we could somehow make the transition a little smoother for the next generation.  I didn't need anyone to hold my hand per say but a little guidance definitely goes a long way. So here goes, initially I chose my major based off what I liked which was computers at the time.  I didn't know what I wanted to do with computers, I didn't do any research on undergraduate majors, which schools offered what majors or any of that I was just flying blind y'all.  I knew I wanted to go to USC-Columbia but fell in love with USC-Aiken once I went on a visit to the campus.  I sat through the Computer Engineering program brief and quickly realized that it w...
