Kissing The Frog


I'm sure everyone has heard the phrase, "You have to kiss several frogs to find your prince(ss)." That comes from a childhood Disney fairy tale where the princess was looking for her prince, so she went through several guys before she finally met her match. In other words, she had to kiss a bunch of frogs before she met that one man who knocked her socks off. How is this relevant in 2015? It's simple. In a perfect world, everyone would find their mate on the first go, and some of them do. The ones who find their prince(ss) are the ones who aren't moved by the first (wo)man that shows them interest. They start off as friends, and if the relationship goes right, that "frog" (meaning, she may write him off at first glance, but in the end she's glad she gave him a chance because he turned out to be the best thing that happened to her) may turn out to be a great (wo)man after all. What I mean by "Sometimes you kiss the frog, other times you are the frog" is this: Most of the time, a person swears up and down that the other person isn't right for them, but some people don't realize that THEY could be the frog all along. It's not until years later that both parties come to the conclusion that they're wasting each other's time, and it would be best if they went their separate ways. The moral of this message is this: It's easy to assume that other people are always the frog, hard to admit that maybe..just maybe..YOU could be the frog all along, but your pride won't let you see it.

He Feels Stuck


When it comes to relationships, it's important to choose the right person or you'll have the same issue as this person. This woman and her man have been together for a little over a year, and they have a child together. Both of them work, but her gripe with him was that he acts like a child. Call me crazy, but a working man is far from a child because he's taking care of a family. Meanwhile, he's entitled to down time, especially after a long day of getting money for his family. He smokes, drinks, invites his friends over, all of which are to his wife's disapproval. My view is this: On days when his boys are over, maybe she could do something with her girlfriends: Have a ladies' day out where it's just her and the womenfolk kekeing about their men (chances are, some of her girlfriends are probably single, but that's another topic), going shopping & out for drinks; you know, stuff women do when they get together. A man is allowed to kick back as he sees fit, especially if he's a good provider for his family. The only way I can see where his kicking back could be an issue is if he throws away money on his leisure; and he and his woman start arguing. Other than that, it's nothing to be in your feelings over. In closing, maybe he could feel stuck with her. Maybe she's being too demanding for some reason, and he's starting to check out of the relationship. I don't see the issue here: He has a job, taking care of his, etc. What more does she want from him?

Being Grateful: Shaana Hunter

Not many of us can say the same.

Shaana Hunter

I may not see eye to eye most times with my parents but I'm extremely grateful for the upbringing of being a blessing when blessed. Sometimes I'm head strong in my beliefs but that's only due to wanting the BEST for anyone in my circle or who crosses my path. I was loved AND raised hard and strong. I cover because I've been covered. My love doesn't come easy but its even harder to let it go.
Love doesn't die. It's a moving energy. Just stay connected. It'll come back around and revive you.

Strawberry Letter | Steve Harvey in the Morning on WDAS: My Wife Does Too Much


These tit-for-tat letters are doing the most because they always start off like this: Wife cheats on husband, husband asks for divorce and wife wants to work it out. Or...husband cheats on his wife with his wife's mother or sister, wife goes berserk and all of a sudden his conscience eats at him so he wants to make it right with his wife. The common denominator in this letter is that BOTH of them cheated. Yes, BOTH are guilty of the same indiscretion so there's no need for either of them to be upset with each other. Yes, the husband cheated first and he was at fault, but the wife sunk to his level because she did the same thing out of spite. Because he cheated on his wife, she wanted him to hurt like she hurts. Just because one spouse cheats, it doesn't give the other spouse a pass to do the same, because (s)he's no better than their (wo)man. Someone has to be the better person and do one of two things: Try & get past the hurt or cut the relationship loose. Everyone that's read my stance on these Strawberry Letters knows my stance so I don't need to reiterate it. Once infidelity happens, it's tough to regain that trust because you can never look at him/her the same way. As a matter of fact, some people take cheating so seriously that if you cheat once, you're gone. No apologies, nothing. It's going to take God, and possibly counseling for them to get over their hurt because after all, both of them did each other foul so it's hard to say who's at fault because again, even though the husband cheated first, the wife was no better because she committed the same transgression.

I will not apologize for standing up for righteousness. Feel how you want, and I'll feel how I want.
