I’ve been reading too much of my twitter feed lately. I’ve been seeing so many tweets about relationships asking such questions as: Why get married? Why be committed? Why date? There’s been so much negativity spreading about relationships. Quite frankly, I think the media is hard on relationships. I think to learn what the point [...]
As I sat down to write yet another book, I found myself hearing voices in my head. The voices said things like, “Can you do better than Retaliation?” “Can you do better than The Blueprint for My Girls?” “Can you write better than you’ve ever wrote before?” I wanted the voices in my head to [...]
It just dawned on me that people who go to friends, family and associates to be rescued from their life issues, and people who find a way to rescue themselves don’t have a whole lot in common. The person who finds a way to save themselves is disgusted with the person who is often in [...]

I was having a rough day today. It seems like I have so many projects and only one brain. Some days I don’t know which project to work on first. I consider having many projects a blessing but not knowing where to go first is a challenge that I must overcome on a daily basis. [...]
The most revealing aspect of this journey has probably been how I spend my time. Last week I went through one week of reading deprivation. During this self-imposed exile FROM READING, I discovered a bunch of things about my daily schedule. I discovered that I spent too much time on Twitter and Facebook–time when I [...]
