One Of Our Passions - Mom's With Deadbeat Dad's

Posted by Valarie Harris on February 6, 2011 at 11:42pm

We created the Mom's with Deadbeat Dad's Booklet as a resource for single working mothers. We tried to find creative ways to relieve some of the financial burden that single working mothers carry while raising their children and waiting on support from the absentee or non-custodial parent.

Keys to A Successful Relationship! What Love Has to Do With It!

Posted by KAMAL IMANI*The Soul Griot! on December 16, 2010 at 4:15am

What Love Has to Do With It!The Importance of Unconditional Love in A Relationship!By Kamal Imani © 2010My wife and I have been happily married for 15 years and together for 19. Much of our success can be attributed to a book we read entitled “Black Woman’s Black Man’s Guide to a Spiritual Union” by Ra Un Nefer Amen. In this book he speaks about the importance of unconditional love. He also highlighted how we have a script or sort of fantasy like picture in our minds of the perfect or ideal lover or mate and when that person doesn’t meet our expectations, we feel let down, disappointed, the drama begins and things begin to fall apart.When our partner fails to perform up to our Hollywood or conditioned standard financially, sexually, emotionally or otherwise, maybe they didn’t cook, clean, communicate or perform the way that we envisioned it, we allow dissatisfaction to set in.Have Realistic Expectations but High standardsWhen getting to know your significant other, you need to be real when it comes to acknowledging his/her strengths and weaknesses. You also need to realize that peoples long developed habits are slow to change. If you’re hoping that something he/she does will change simply because you have entered their life, you may be disappointed. Some changes can be made if it’s clearly communicated, understood and your partner makes a conscious effort to change, but be very patient because it will probably be a slow and gradual process. I’m not saying that you should lower your standards, but have you ever heard the term wysiwyg? It is an acronym for what you see is what you get. And, you know while you’re dating you’re getting a persons best side, and as the saying goes “You don’t know a person until you live with them”. So keep it real, but stay optimistic, patient and keep the faith. Always keep a spiritual vibration in your relationship.Unconditional LoveUnconditional love is giving of your self without expecting anything in return. It is being selfless! If you’re giving and taking is like a Wall Street financial transaction, sometimes you will rise, other times you will be in a recession, a depression and eventually a crash! So it is important for both partners to practice selfless giving with out making the other partner feel that he/she owes you something.When unexpected financial, medical and other emergencies arise, you will have to be flexible, calm and optimistic until the situation improves (because you will be tested). Always find a creative way to communicate, be understanding, stay affectionate, optimistic, patient and faithful…Did I say patient? Selfless giving/unconditional love is a high form of practical spirituality and it takes two to apply it. It indeed takes two to make a thing go right.Watch Kamal’s tribute to the sisters “Ms. Melanin” on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aledyuIlCjsKamal Imani is a Poet, Author, Film Maker Teacher and Mentor residing in New Jersey.

I am loving me....how about you?

Posted by Erica Johnson on November 10, 2010 at 7:41pm

It seems like there is this huge phenomena that is going on today where single women are always saying “I love me.” They say that they love themselves however they let others mistreat them, talk down on them, take crap from other people, and mistreat themselves. This is not considered self-love.Self-love is being patient with yourself, having self-respect, speaking to yourself with kind words, and just showing appreciation to yourself. When you begin to love yourself unconditionally, then others will do the same.This topic fits so well in attracting Mr. Right. I have seen countless women always complain about the way that men treat them and how they want a man to love them unconditionally.Through my years on this earth I have learned that you train people on how to treat you. If you are always walking around calling yourself fat, stupid, and just demeaning yourself as a woman what makes you think that others won’t pick up on that and start doing the same thing.If you’ve read any of my articles you know that I talk a lot about the Law of Reflection. The Law of Reflection is the way that you treat yourself is the same way that others treat you. It basically means that your outside world is a reflection of your inside world.Ways that you can show self-love:• Speak kind words to yourself• Be considerate of your feelings• Tell yourself that you love you every morning• Demand that people respect your body, mind, and spirit• Only listen, watch, and read anything that is going to uplift your spirit• Only surround yourself with positive people who will bring you good• Tell yourself the truth• Be patient with yourselfMy assignment for you today is to do a self-evaluation on how you treat yourself. Write it down. After analyzing your self-evaluation figure out what you need to improve on. Make a task list and get to taking immediate action.Do you need help in this area with attracting Mr. Right? Visit www.guidingu2success.com and schedule your Free Get Acquainted Call where you can ask key questions and talk about solutions free of charge.

Tip of the week!

Posted by Erica Johnson on November 15, 2010 at 8:06pm

In order for anything new to come into your life there has to be room for it. Mr. Right cannot show up in your life if you don’t have time for him or space for him.

It is amazing how women always complain about they want a man but yet they don’t have time for him. Today I would like for you to look at your schedule, look at the people in your life, and look at the mental clutter that you have. What do you need to get rid of?

Take action this week on getting rid of it.

Happy Mr. Right Attraction!

It's time to clear the clutter!

Posted by Erica Johnson on November 17, 2010 at 9:51pm

Do you know that everything that you want is waiting on you to receive it? Yes, this is a known fact. A spiritual principle that I follow is:Ask and you shall receive.The reason that a lot of us, including myself, have not received what we have been asking for is because we have no room to receive it.Have you ever wanted to buy more clothes but came to realize that your closet was full?Have you ever wanted to do an activity but found out that you didn’t have the time?This is the same thing that is going on with attracting Mr. Right. Mr. Right is waiting to show up in your life however, he can’t if there is no room for him.This is a conversation that I have with a lot of my clients. They want Mr. Right to show up but they don’t have time for him because their scheduled is packed to the max, they are mentally cluttered, and they have someone in the way.What I mean by someone in the way is a lot of women I know are holding onto their ex-boyfriends out of fear that Mr. Right will never show up or either they are doing it because they don’t want to be lonely.Well a word of advice. Mr. Right cannot show up if someone is in his place.Your assignment for this week is to clear the clutter. Yes, we are in the process of attracting Mr. Right and in order to do that you must clear the clutter.So here is what you need to do:1. Get rid of anything in your house that you don’t need or use. (This includes every room)2. Clean out your car3. Clean out your computer. Yes, I know that you have files that you have downloaded that you don’t need or use. You also need to clean out your e-mail from all that junk mail.4. Delete the numbers in the phone that you don’t need or never use.

Tip of the week

Posted by Erica Johnson on November 8, 2010 at 5:31pm

Start loving yourself the way that you want others to love you. People will only treat you how they are trained to treat you. So if you expect a man to love you unconditionally start doing it yourself.

I see too many women complain about people are not loving them or treating them a certain way. However, the way that other people treat you is the same way that you treat yourself. (Law of reflection)

Start speaking to yourself with love.

Say positive affirmations.

Take care of your body, mind, and spirit.

What to do now that I am single?

Posted by Erica Johnson on October 4, 2010 at 6:36pm

So now that you are single you are probably sitting around wondering to yourself, what do I do now? Well, at this point you have a lot of options.

· You can sit around and cry and pout for a couple of days or months. (Note that there is none thing wrong with crying to release all of your hurt and pain. Just don’t stay in that place too long.)

· You can go hang out with your girlfriends.

· You can spend this time getting to you know you a little bit better. (Highly recommended)

· You can find a rebound guy who you can use to cuddle up with and spend your time with so that you won’t feel lonely.

After all of the options that I have provided, I would suggest that you as a new single woman spend time getting to know yourself a little bit better.

A problem that many single women have is that they don’t take the necessary time to heal after a major breakup before jumping into a new relationship.

And the result of doing that is you go into a new relationship with mixed emotions and hurt and pain from your previous relationship.

What I suggest that you do is take some time to heal from your previous relationship.

Do you need further help in this area? Erica recommends Make-Me-Over Michelle Coaching Program where she will guide you through letting go of all of the heartache and pain that you need to get rid of to move forward in your life. Visit www.guidingu2success.com for more details.

Emancipation from public education

Posted by BlackHomeSchoolers on February 11, 2009 at 5:30pm

As parents we must make tough decisions in regards to our kids. The decisions we make will impact their lives even after they are all grown up. Just imagine for one moment that a decision that you made ruined or deeply impacted your child’s life in a negative way. How will you deal with knowing that your decisions may have harmed your child.Well, believe it or not the decision to send children to public school has proven to have some major negative ramifications. Many children pick up some very bad habits and ways from being in public school. Many of our young people are exposed to drugs, alcohol, sex, homosexuality, violence and more just from going to public school. Some children face the pressures of bullying and not being able to keep up among other things. All of this is the result of being in an unstable and hostile environment.When a child is in a hostile environment they are unable to function properly. There is no such thing as telling your child to merely concentrate and ignore what‘s happening around them. A statement such as that , suggest that you don’t have an answer for your child and therefore can only put the situation on the back burner. Many parents find out the hard way that this decision may ultimately harm their child’s future. The instability in the public school environment has helped lead to the rapid decline in academic achievement in our schools. This is why there is such a huge increase in home education. The public school system has failed our children.Home education has such a rapid increase, especially amongst African Americans, which is primarily due to the insufficient educational process of the public school. It is estimated that more than 2,000,000 American children are home schooled. This number will continue to increase as parents awareness is sparked. More and more parents are taking the plunge into home schooling as they realize that they can better educate their children.Black home schoolers are especially motivated to take on the role as parent-teacher seeing that African American children have a higher dropout rate than any other race. The only way to protect your child from becoming a part of this dropout statistic is to become and early dropout through emancipating yourselves from the state institutional education. Please understand that I’m referring to having your child drop out of a failed institution and reviving their learning through home education. We here at The Black Home Schoolers Association would like to help in every way we can. Please feel free to contact us or visit our website at: www.BlackHomeschoolers.com

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

Posted by Deidre Logan on January 12, 2009 at 6:08pm

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 children, and old men. Young men are few and far between – and getting fewer all the time.Many women have rushed to blame the men for this. After all, ultimately it is their choice to leave; their choice to follow the examples, or the lack thereof, that preceded them. These are grown men and entirely accountable for their action and/or inaction – granted.However, I submit to you that many women – particularly many single mothers – are in the deepest denial about their contribution to this pandemic. In their zeal to raise good sons they have often neglected to raise responsible men who would actually be suitably productive husbands and fathers. So many single mothers, mothering from the own pains and issues, often deliberately or incidentally surrogate their children into “pseudo-spouses”. In the process, these children often receive severely mixed messages. On the one hand, they are constantly reminded of how much they resemble all the worst traits in their fathers. On the other, their mothers are quick to lay guilt trips on them if they dare to establish an independent identity or a different significant female relationship. These boys get angry and resentful, so the mother’s remedy is often to indulge them. They are rewarded with material things in return for their faithfulness to fulfilling their mother’s wishes.And so the cycle continues until the sex drive takes over. Now, these same young men start “mating and procreating” with no significant grasp of the level of responsibility that creates. However, thinking that they do, they often “try” to be there. That usually lasts until he gets overwhelmed and/or it’s not fun anymore. She wakes up one day without him; and grandma is raising babies once again. Why? Because we have spawned yet another generation of people who believe the universe exists solely to serve them. If it doesn’t, then there is clearly something wrong with the universe – it couldn’t possibly be something wrong with them. We’ve created yet another generation of perfect pimps and then we get mad at them when they behave accordingly. We often create the monsters that come back to kill us.How do we stop it? Here are three things we can do: 1) Put them out of their parents’ house by age 21 – sooner if they don’t go to college at 18; 2) stop letting them have sex in a home they don’t have a lease/mortgage on; and 3) stop letting them move their girlfriends into that same house.Brain surgery – it is not!Speaking the truth in love,Deidre

Heal My Wings a Healing Guide for Victims on Domestic Violence

Posted by Kimberly Ware on October 6, 2008 at 1:48am

Messenger Group Announces:For Immediate Release: October 5, 2008 - Decatur, GA (United States) – October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Within the U.S. Nearly, three out of four (74%) of Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic violence. 30% of Americans say they know a woman who has been physically abused by her husband or boyfriend in the past year (Allstate Foundation National Poll on Domestic Violence, 2006).Atlanta author, Kimberly Ware, wrote a thought provoking book for survivors on domestic Violence. “I am a survivor of domestic violence and I wanted to write a book on how to heal spiritually. I wanted to show women how they too can grow their wings and heal from life dilemmas,” stated Kimberly Ware.When women go through social struggles in their life such as divorce, single parenting, emotional abuse, domestic violence, or illness, it can be quite dramatic. At first these experiences can cause a wound, not just a physical wound, but a spiritual wound that also needs healing. Often times these wounds can not be seen with the naked eye but they are still there.Intuitive, spiritual healer, and teacher, Kimberly S. Ware guides women on how to heal from life dilemmas. This guide is complimentary to Ware’s Heal My Wings: A Healing Workbook & Journal for Women. Offering modern-day stories and examples from her own personal experiences, she gives tips and exercises on spiritual healing.

Content is Queen?

Posted by Samantha Gregory on August 12, 2008 at 6:44pm

You've probably heard it time and time again, content is king. Well let me tell ya, that saying is true, but I'd like to say content is queen because you, my sister, are queen of your domain (name that is). Everybody wants and needs traffic to their website and I'm sure you are no exception, but putting up a pretty site is not enough. You need content and that content should be search engine friendly.A few great ways to get content are to add articles, blog, have contests and giveaways, and exchange links. That’s nice, just remember that to keep it relevant to your site and be useful. An article about your garden when your site is about jewelry making is not very relevant, but an article about the how to make vegetable or flower shaped beads is relevant (and can be marketed to garden lovers). This type of article is also a prime candidate for using keywords to make it search engine friendly. More keywords another time.The problem many people have with content is that they think they can't write or don't have time to write. Well let me tell you, there are at least three ways around this. First, you can learn how to write. Here's a quick and dirty lesson. Take a subject that's relevant to your site, then think up three related topics and write a few sentences about it, next sandwich those topics between an introduction about the topic and an ending that tells what you just talked about. Voila! You have an article. It's not always that simple when it comes to doing it, but it's a good start.Second, you can go to an article marketing site like ezinearticles.com and grab one of their articles. The catch with that option is that your readers may click off your page and go elsewhere. You want them to stay on your site and respond to your call-to-action. We'll talk about that another time.Third, you can hire someone to write content for you. Hire someone who has written before, has samples, and charge a reasonable price. You don't want anyone who is charging pennies because you will get what you pay for. Yes, consider your budget, but don't get caught up in thinking you don't have enough to pay a quality. There may be times when you have to bite the bullet and hire that writer anyway. Web content writers are pretty reasonable so don't shy away from this option.So I've discussed the importance of content to you website, now take out that pad and pen (or keyboard) and start writing. Pretty soon you'll be the queen of your content.Samantha GregoryThe SEO Content Queen

MiniMizz ::: Stop! Mama Time!

Posted by Rikki on July 30, 2008 at 7:35am

At 11:11am on Monday, July 28th, my one and only child's flight pushed off from the gate. I took a sigh of relief as I watched it taxi down the runway, and then made my way back to my car. This year it only took me 1/2 hour to get over the "my baby's gone blues".My daughter and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary of leaving "The Rock" on July 9th. Most people think we're crazy for moving to Atlanta given they think it's all paradise (see TV1s One on One this Sunday to see which paradise I'm talking about). Island life isn't for everyone, and 'back home' has always been too small for me. Apparently, my daughter has caught that bug too. But when Uncle called and said he was sending a ticket, my girl jumped at the chance to go and see her beloved uncle and have a ride on his new jet ski, ride the motocross bike up and down the dump and eat her favorite foods that she can't find or haven't been perfected in Atlanta.For me, I welcomed it and thanked my little brother often. I haven't had a vacation since we moved back to the States. And know that vacations for me were not a day or two in another city of the same state. We got on a plane, and flew at least 900 miles in any direction from our little spot in the middle of the Atlantic, hit the museums, amusement parks and malls, and sometimes managed to visit family. I NEED a vacation. Badly. But for now, I will settle for Mama Vacay.What's a Mama Vacay? It's when the children (or child in my case) are GONE for more than 48 hours. Mine happens to be in another country, well taken care of, so I'm not really worried. I can go to McDonald's at 1 in the morning, or, as I am doing now, start my day at 9pm and end it the next day at 4am. No homework checks. No "mama I'm hungry". However that part of it is the pitfall of my daughter's leaving, since she is the house cook, and has been since she really got good at cooking at the age of 7. I think I'll be eating turkey on rye for the next 11 days. But, I digress. My first 3 days will be spent working on the changes to my business, and I will be celebrating Cheesecake Factory's 30th anniversary on Wednesday the 30th with a good friend and future business partner. I'll be networking at a few mixers, and going with a friend to a private concert with Jennifer Hudson. Mostly invitations I would have passed on because I would have to find a sitter, and all my sitters live back home.I can raid my change jar and treat myself to a white chocolate mocha with whip from Starbucks and not have to remember or feel guilty about not getting a caramel frappucino. I can get my flirt on at the gas station in good taste. I have designated one day that I can not get out of the bed except to get water and use the bathroom. I can clean the house on Saturday and know it will STAY clean until she returns the following week. I may even summon the chutzpah to change around my little office. I can eat saltines for dinner if I want. I can use MY laptop at MY leisure and give my office chair a rest.But even though I'll be able to do all the things a SBF with no kids can do, at the end of it all, I'll be beaming when my deeply tanned tweener steps off her flight, just in time for her to ask, "can I go to Skate Towne?", giving me all of 2 minutes before my first eye roll in 2 weeks.
