Kerry'ism Quote - CONFIDENCE

CONFIDENCE;comes from within, not outside in. It is in you, not of you. Doesn't require a stage, an audience, approval or recognition. Doesn't entail bragging, being obnoxiously cocky or the false sense of security that comes from that. True confidence is not how you feel when you walk into a room, full of people. It's how you feel when you walk out of one...alone ~ Happy Thanksgiving Kerry E. Wagner~ 2009 Continue

Feelings about “Precious” / PUSH

Feelings about “Precious” / PUSH After seeing the film “Precious” based on the novel Push I had mixed feelings. I read the novel Push when I was 14 years old and in the 9th grade and I couldn’t understand what I was reading but I was fascinated. The issues brought up in the book were ones I had never heard of, couldn’t relate to, and were so different than what I was used to reading, but I was still intrigued. As I have gotten older and grown over the years I realized more and more what I was re… Continue

Is he an asset or a liability?

I have a man but does he have me? I don't know because he stays in the street more than he stays with me. So I ask myself. Is he an asset or a liability? I clean his house, cook his meals, take care of the kids and pay all the bills. I even give him his cheap thrills. So what does he do for me? Nothing I can see. So I ask myself. Is he an asset or a liability? All I ever wanted was a man with a dream. Someone I could call my king. With ambition and drive. motivation and determination by h… Continue

Dealing with True Friends

Dealing with True Friends When a true friend hurts you what do you do? Do just cut ties? Do you work it out? Or do you forgive and move on? True friends the ones we have known for years, since the playground, since playing tag, passing notes, having crushes, and dressing alike. The friends that you may not share those specific memories with but the ones who have a special place in your heart the ones you have a bond with like no other. The friend that you can speak to with your eyes and there a… Continue

When is it OK to Tell a Lie?!

When is it okay to Tell a Lie? Is it ever okay to tell a lie? Even if it’s a white lie? White lies are said to be minor lies which could be considered to be harmless, or even beneficial, in the long term. White lies are also considered to be used for “greater good”. Is this really true? What is “greater good” and who defines that? What is considered my “greater good” may not be yours? And in turn people may get hurt from small “minor white lies”. Is a lie justified depending on the context in… Continue

Even though her mother was in pain Crystal still loved her father deeply. She usually waited at the top of the steps for her father to come home at night.

Dear Steve Harvey

Dear Steve, Firstly, congrats on making the New York Times Best Seller List with you new book "Act like a Lady, Think like a Man." Now, about that book. A very close girl-friend purchased your book for me as a gift and I must say, I'm really enjoying reading it but I am on the other hand somewhat putout by the content. Now, don't get me wrong your advice is solid and right-on but I find it almost impractical for my life and the lives of my single friends. You see the men you describe in your bo… Continue

How to Stop the Spread of America’s Most Dangerous Pandemic - Narcissism

There was a time when I used to be amazed at the number of seemingly grown men who were unwilling to be responsible for their own lives and for those of the families they made. Like everyone else, I’ve seen the increasing dismal statistics of fatherlessness in the American community. I would even go so far as to say there is pandemic manlessness as well. Men in our extended families are also becoming increasingly rare. What seems to be commonplace now are families with lots of women, young child… Continue

Pros And Cons Of Sex Before Marriage

What To Do, What To Do? This question won't be going anywhere any time soon. As long as there are people with rushing hormones, this is going to be an issue. Many will blame the animal in us (particularly men - sorry fellas- smile); others will blame our histories; still others will create their own philosophies. However, there are some things I have noticed that I don't see anyone else discussing. For example, anatomically speaking, all the reasons that sex is good for marriage make it… Continue

Why Do So Many Men Like Porn?

Lessons For Women Women have wondered forever what it is about porn that mesmerizes so many men. Some of us have tried to participate with our partners only to find ourselves feeling like Hell afterwards. Others of us have found ways to make it part of our sexual lexicon with mixed results. Let's face it. Outside of the industry, it is difficult at best for a couple to comfortably fit porn into their relationship. Men, on the other hand, generally have no problem keeping as part of thei… Continue
