Like most people, I have often heard the all-too-common refrains, "you can't help who you love", "it just happened", or "one thing led to another". Most often, I hear this from women who are attempting to justify their ill-advised involvement in some situation that has come back to bite them in the behind.Ladies, I'm about to set you free!! None of these assessments is accurate. The truth is - you absolutely, unequivocally "help" who you love; it did not just happen; and one thing did not lead to another. You either made it happen or you allowed it to happen. Now, you're free because either way, the situation is in your control. For purposes of this entry, however, I will focus on the 'who you love' issue as it concerns unhealthy romantic love.Contrary to popular opinion, love is not accidental, incidental, or happenstance. It isn't random, arbitrary, or evolutionary. It happens by the sheer force of two independent wills focused in the same direction. It happens because the two people involved wanted it to happen, and have usually expended considerable effort to make sure that it did happen. Love is not a hole in the sidewalk waiting for you to blindly fall into it. Love is the by product of mental and physical time and effort deliberately put forth to create and continue feelings of infatuation and romance.We've all seen the situations where people have gotten involved in emotional and/or physical intimacies with someone they were "just friends" with. The usual protests go something like "I don't know how it happened", "I never intended for it to happen", or "I couldn't help myself". The facts are that these relationships never just happen. They occur after days, weeks, and months of finding big and small ways to perpetuate the ectasy of illicit attraction.That fact alone begs the question, is it really love you've created? You might think it is. Your partner may even agree. The truth is you've created a fantasy that can only survive in the bubble of the manipulated realities you've invented. That's why the magic dies under the stresses and strains of real life. No longer able to shield your "love" from the side effects and consequences of real life, you usually soon find that your "love" fades.In short, true love is a series of choices that you get emotional about. It is not merely an emotion or a feeling that you just helplessly fall into like a hole in the sidewalk. True love is deliberate. It lasts, not because of how you feel about eachother - but because of your dedication to your commitment to eachother.Speaking the truth in love,Deidre

Its that time of year again to make pledges and resolutions to get in shape, lose weight and make some changes. Let us be proactive this year and start now, lets work out ways to develop the tools we need to avoid stress. There are always statistics that tell us over and over that African have higher incidences of health disparities compared to other ethnic groups. We can choose to not listen because we may not want to believe the reports that African Americans have more cases of disease, disability, and early death compared to Whites but it is still an issue that we must examine. We cannot afford to dismiss the statistics, we must take an assessment of our individual health status.Motivation is a constant struggle due to work pressures, financial concerns and the every day occurrences resulting from how we choose to live our lives. Ask yourself this question: “Do I want to be trapped in a body that I cannot control?” I know you are saying that is not my situation and that will not happen to me. I am able to walk, talk, bathe myself, feed myself and take care of myself relatively well. I have health care and I hardly get sick, so I am exempt from this question.Or I have no health care, I exercise regularly and take supplements, I even get acupuncture treatments and watch my diet. Whatever we are doing is good, we can all take stock of ourselves on a regular basis and make improvements. If none of this applies to you, that is great, so help someone else to get motivated and get moving.African American women experience multiple health issues because we neglect our health even when we think we are healthy. African American women are less likely to receive health care; when they do receive care, they are more likely to receive it late. Having no noticeable symptoms is not an indication of good health. Many skip breakfast and opt for something quick with coffee, juice or tea with way too much sugar.Read moreRead more…

How many times have you heard those commercials that claim you can make thousands of dollars working at home for two or three hours per day? Being an entrepreneur is a role that many aspire to, but not everyone can be one. Although it sounds simple, becoming a successful work at home entrepreneur takes diligence, patience and determination.Before you run in and quit your day job, you need to sit down and evaluate your strengths and weaknesses. Not everyone has the temperament to be a work at home entrepreneur and it’s best for you to be honest with yourself from the start. After you have completed an honest evaluation of yourself, the next step is to determine if you can manage an online business for yourself.Organization is a key strength for running an online business. If you are selling information products, you must organize your time to compose, upload and set up the process by which you will sell these products. If you are selling physical products, you must organize your product and delineate the time for inventory, packing and shipping. In the beginning, you should also be able to work alone because guess what – you’re the boss now! It’s YOUR business and you have to be responsible for it.Let’s go back to those commercials that say that online businesses can be run without many problems. Don’t believe the hype for a minute, because even with an online business, you still have to deal with business issues. These issues cannot be avoided, because they’re just a part of doing businesses whether you’re doing business online or offline. You can avoid some of these issues just by doing a bit of homework and choosing the best home based business for you and your working style.Running an online business is not easy. Because are both boss and employee, you have to manage your time wisely in order to not become overwhelmed and discouraged. You must be a risk-taker, a self starter and have the understanding and temperament to deal with all types of people.As an work at home womenpreneur, take the time to make an assessment of your skills and temperament, then move forward in the field or industry that you feel works best for you. Working in a home-based business requires dedication, hard work and excellent time management. Much success to you in your endeavors!

For Female/Women Entrepreneurs Only – The Lady Like way to do BusinessSupporting entrepreneurial women is my passion. With that in mind I wrote this article for female/women entrepreneurs only, so I could focus and celebrate the "Lady like" way of doing business. I’m eager to share with you BYOB SQUARED that supports doing business in a feminine way.This is an important subject since women are starting businesses at nearly 3 times the rate of men. Currently there are 11million women owned businesses in the US. What’s motivating women to start their own businesses? According to a survey by Ladies Who Launch, women launch a new business for the following reasons:To have more FREEDOM and CONTROL over their schedules and LIVES.To pursue their PASSION and DREAMS.To create REVENUE and MAKE MONEY doing what they love.The specific motives are unique to every woman yet they reflect a pattern. Women want their business to fit in with the rest of their priorities and values in life.The Lady Like way to do BusinessWomen generally rely on a more intuitive approach to starting their businesses. In order to get started, women need to feel the creative juices flowing and then have the freedom to act on their ideas. BYOB SQUARED is an online and in-person platform to recognize and cater their program (for female/women entrepreneurs only) to the uniquely feminine approach to launching.The "Lady like way to doing business" approach is celebrated through the BYOB SQUARED Incubator program, where you can get through the first stage of launching and find the resources you need to continue growing. As an Incubator leader in my local area, I’ve watched that the participants’ businesses truly expand and grow more quickly when they are connected to other women in their area.The Lady Like way to do BusinessWomen tend to be collaborators and prefer not to go it alone. This can be a tremendous advantage because they’re always on the lookout for help to get their business off the ground more quickly. Most women don’t have a problem admitting that they’re not sure how to proceed and will ask for direction. Their businesses benefit as a result.At whatever stage their business is at, entrepreneurial women are always looking for:Inspiration – Women are inspired when they see and learn from other women who have great ideas, a broader, more creative perspective and who are already achieving the kind of lifestyle they visualize for themselves. Learning from other successful entrepreneurs gives women a sense of who's doing what in business and if she can do it, I can do it!Resources – Women want training and coaching from business experts on the latest business strategies. They also want advice on how to create balance and a high-quality personal life.Community – Women crave a like-minded community of women for a daily dose of wisdom, support and guidance.Women need a venue to get the inspiration, resources and sense of community they crave. A few years ago I began hosting a monthly “Meetup” in and around Atlanta. These few joyful hours of unstructured sharing are tremendously valuable for everyone in attendance. It gives us a chance to connect, gather together and learn from one another in a completely supportive environment. Consider starting your own group as a way to reach out to women in your community.I launched Be Your Own Boss - Build Your Own Business and created BYOB SQUARED for female/women entrepreneurs only. This online community helps entrepreneurial women in businesses—find all the business support and business supporters they need to be successful. I wholeheartedly believe there’s plenty of room for every woman to shine in all that she does—and this quality of abundance is a very important way to celebrate the "Lady like ways" way of doing business.To contact us, please email: BYOBBOSS@gmail.com

I grew up during a time when African Americans loved each other and lived in neighborhoods and communities that were interconnected like the web of love. A web of love and support that looked like women cooking for other families when there was illness or taking food to a repast for a family grieving the loss of a loved one. Yes, I was one of those children thatwas corrected by a neighbor and again when they informed my parents of what I was guilty of.Today we are not that close knit community. If you say something to a young person today, you could get cussed out or worse, physically attacked.Reuniting the African American family is very important to me and I hope is it important to everyone who cares about the future of African American children. Have you ever looked around at the people that would come to your aid in a crisis? If you are the head of your household, who would come to assist your loved ones if something happened to you? It is urgent that we reconnect and become strong again.Read moreRead more…

by Philip Brown - THIS IS AN ARTICLE REPRINTBranding yourself is a concept that represents everything about your business or company. It sets your business and products apart from the competition. Only the businesses who communicate the real value of their product in today's world of high expectations will accomplish everything they want. So, what makes you and your product different?The main goal of branding yourself is to own a product category. By branding yourself, you are identifying and defining everything from packaging to public relations. Your brand should epitomize the personality of your company.Since it will have a huge impact on your bottom line, it is very important that you create a solid brand for yourself and your company. When your targeted customer becomes loyal to your brand, price will become less of an issue for your company.There are many different elements that go into making a successful brand. First, there is relevance. Do your target customers believe that they need your product in their life? Will it make a positive difference in their daily life? Will it make their life easier? Will it make them feel good about themselves?Another element is differentiation. What makes the benefits of your products or services different from the competition? Next there is brand awareness. Do your potential customers even know that your company or products exist? Brand awareness will lead to a preference for your brand because it will be the first thing that comes to mind when they think of your product or service.Lastly there is consistency. If you are inconsistent in your business communications and products, then your potential customers will be confused and it will have a negative impact on your brand identity. This makes it important to define who you and your business are to set yourself apart from the competition.What happens once you know who you are and you have branded yourself? Once you have defined yourself and your company's products, then you need to focus on the above issues to help separate yourself from your competition. Your logo should help your potential customers define your product at a glance. Make sure that you create the best image to represent your company and its products. You should create a tag line. A tag line is a sentence or phrase that describes your products or services and helps your customers identify it anywhere.Careful and controlled branding can result in an increase in sales, more customers, and an ability to increase the value, and thus, the pricing of your products or services.Phillip Brown, Internet Marketer, Coach and MentorToll Free Telephone: 1-800-990-2024Official Website: http://www.watch-dog-reports.comE-mail:pwfonline@yahoo.com

I am ranting about Dads today....Mom's generally have most of the responsibility with children. Even if mom works full or part-time, they are expected to do everything. Even when father's are in the home, mother's do most of the work.Mothers manage every aspect of their child or children's lives. There are some Dad's who do these things too. So why is to special and amazing when a man does these thing but just responsibility when a woman does it?Not every woman may do everything on this list. This list reflects the things that children need. They can exist without all of these things, But they deserve this and more. If you are not doing all these things, this in no way is a reflection of you or how you live and/or take care of your children.These things are done by most women, and not meant to reflect every possible situation. Whether a women is married or has a partner, these items are the what every women should be doing for her children if she has them.Work in or out of the home to make a living to maintain basic needs of her familyBuy and cook for their children on a regular basisShop for whatever it is that children need, based on what they can affordClean up behind them and teach them to maintain a clean environmentPrepare children for private/public child care or school by potty-training, manners, communicate, share, etcBathe them or make sure the bathe everydayComb or cut their hair, wash it and teach them to take care of itEnsure that children brush their teeth at least twice a dayGet them to school either by walking/driving or pubic transportationMonitor how much television they watchMonitor how much time they spend playing video games or using the computerRead to them, and teach them to readHomework is essential to be done with at least one parent dailyBeing their biggest fan and letting them know they are celebratedWipe their butts and teach them to wipe their own buttsWashing, storing, taking care of clothes that they grow out ofPurchase what they need - from A to ZSort through what they have outgrownMake sure they dress appropriately for the weatherSupport them in social activities and sportsInspire a desire for learningOkay so this is not what I would call is an extensive list, so what do Dad's do?????If you are a dad and you do these things, great, but what happens if you want to go out with the boys, or watch the football game? Why is it easier for men to go about doing whatever they want to do and the women is always expected to take care of the children?

I went after a job in a place where I believed I could make a difference providing a service to Black people, my people that I feel most connected to. The revolutionary side of me is passionate about affecting social change and making a difference. All fired up after finally completing my undergraduate degree I was idealistic and proudly anticipating working at a Historically Black College.My intent was to connect with African American parents and students to assist them in securing funding through Financial Aid effectively as someone who understood the anxiety they may have been experiencing. My belief is that I understood the challenge of feeling intimidated and overwhelmed but together we could come up with a plan that worked to the advantage of the student and parent and secured their admission, tuition, and housing requirements.The work proved to be more than challenging and even though I anticipated it to be difficult I expected to be trained well enough to meet the challenge. A very wise woman that had been in the industry for almost 30 years taught me as much as she could in between the demands of her own student load and time lines.The office operations were flat and loosely structured and the environment was highly charged by politics and big egos. When I needed help I would go to my co-workers and make every effort to get the right answer for the best outcome. In almost every instance, I received a different answer no matter who I went to. Seasoned individuals performed procedures the way it has always been done like before computers became the focus. It was effective in its time although time consuming. Fairly new professionals performed procedures in whatever way allowed it be done the fastest. Mistakes were made but time lines were met most of the time.Read moreOmitunde, Publisher of African American Family ConnectionAn online magazine about African American Family values and community.Visit AAFC for the latest issue each month and a copy of "The Ripple Effect".Read more…

Breaking up is hard to do. Everyone goes through it more than once in a lifetime. Some breakups are harder than others because of the emotional bond.When a love one dies, you grieve for a period of time and slowly move on with life. Theres no difference when you break up from a relationship. You grieve, moan and groan for a while, cry and think about the good times and bad.The only difference is most women think about going back to their ex even when they know it was not their fault in the first place. Some stay in a bad relationship because they been together for a long time and that's not good either.Don't dig up your ex from the grave, leave them there and move on.Here are 7 Ups every woman should know after any break up#7 - Wise up — Know this had to end for a new beginning. Life is too short to settle for less.#6 - Stand up — For yourself and let no one walk over you. No more Ms. Nice Guy. You can do bad all by yourself.#5 - Get up — Do not let the break up hold you down. Grieve for a period of time, then move on. Go out with girlfriends or yourself and enjoy a movie, dinner or other entertainment.#4 - Grow up — Do not hold grudges towards your ex. Hurt is painful, but what's more painful is holding him in prison in your mind. Break him free so you can be free. It will feel good, you'll see. FYI, the ex has probably moved on, so should you.#3 - Hush up — Listen to what your gut feeling tells you. If the evidence is there or you just know you can do better, nine times out of ten you are right. Be patient, you will find the one you desire.#2 - Give up — End the fantasy in your head of getting back together. If the two of you tried to work things out and no success, it's because one party is working hard while the other is hardly working at it. You can't pull the weight for the other. Two is an even number, meaning it has to be 50/50. Why should you wait and ponder in your mind if you will be together again.#1 - Close up — Your legs and save your goodies for someone else. BOOTY CALLS do not work for MOST women. We are not men. We get attached, while men don't. Women, our body part is the "House" and the men body part is "The Visitor". Some visitors go from house to house not even trying to find a home, just wanting a place to lay for the night. But for us, we only have one house and we have to keep it clean (if you know what I mean). So the next time "a visitor" wants to play house, tell that visitor, "This House Is Not Your Home".Sincerely,Victoria DYour Motivational FriendFounder of Me Myself and LifeA Movement To Motivate All Womenhttp://mmlcommunity.memyselfandlife.com

What's Up With Her?~UnknownThere comes a time in every woman's life when she has to take a close look at herself. Not at her circumstance, not at what she did, not how unfair life is, or not at whom made you do it. She has to just look at herself in all her glory and imperfection.Have you ever admired a woman who has been through changes in her life? Or have you made up in your mind that she is just messed up. Before you make this mistake, take a closer look. A woman who has endured the most unusual life is someone of wisdom, someone who has been chosen by God to go through things that have made her stronger.Think of all the great women in the bible: Mary Magdalene, Ruth and Naomi, the woman with an issue of blood flow, and Esther, to name a few. Mary was a prostitute, a very uneasy woman. But by the time Jesus was done with her, she was His closest follower. Esther was unfortunate in marrying an abusive man, but by the time God was done with her, she had married one of the wealthiest men in the land.Women are so quick to beat the next one down instead of trying to hold her up. Before you wonder, "What's up with her?" ask yourself, "What's up with me?" That woman could be my mother, sister, aunt, in-law, stepmother, niece, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor, friend, or co-worker, etc. That woman could be me. Women are the carriers of life, not the channels of death. Let's build and encourage each other, as did Ruth and Naomi.Encourage and Love, Forgive and Forget.Woman to Woman EncouragementSomeone will always be prettier.They will always be smarter.Their house will be bigger.They will drive a better car.Their children will do better in school, and their husband will fix more things around the house.So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.Think about it:The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.And the richest woman you know -- she's got the car, the house, the clothes --might be lonely.And the word says if I have not Love, I am nothing.So, again, love you.Love who you are right now and let! God be your barometer.Mirror Him.Look in the mirror in the morning and see how much of God you see. He's the only standard even when you come up short; he will not leave you or forsake you.Smile and may God continue to bless you.The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor."The one who kneels to God can stand up to anything.""Winners make things happen. Losers let things happen.""To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world."Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.1 Corinthians 13:7, NLT~Sometimes we must get hurt in order to grow, we must fall in order to know. Sometimes we need to get to know ourselves, before we can truly know another. Sometimes our vision clears only after our eyes are washed awaywith tears.~Be Blessed ladies...
