Dating????????

Good Morning Ladies!!!

How are we???? :-)

After 8-9 years of being out of the dating game, I find it difficult to re-enter the scene. One of the reasons I find it extremely difficult has to do with the word "GAME". I am simply too old to be playing games! Why must we as women change who we are to get a date(well a "good" date)? Why must we appear to be weaker than we are? I know, I know the man has to feel wanted and needed. Growing up with a SSBF(Strong Single Black Female) made this task difficult for me in the beginning. Let me stop, I still find this challenging!!! I have to actually think about it as I go through the motions of making the man feel secure. The fact that I am hard headed doesn't help:-)

I blame my mommy....I was her baby and she spoiled me rotten:-) The world was about me until the day her journey on earth ended! Do you know she would worry about me as she laid in the bed slowly slipping away? I would climb in the bed with her every time I drove to Baltimore to see her until her side began to ache. When I could no longer lay beside her, I would pull the chair as close as I could and put my head on her bed as she rubbed my head. This wasn't something we did because she was ill. Throughout my life I would climb in the bed and snuggle with my mommy! We would just talk or enjoy a silent moment together. That was the SAFEST place I could be at any given moment. I didn't have to be strong. I didn't have to be weak. I simply had to be her baby.

I guess that is what I am looking for in a partner, JUST SIMPLY BE ME.....To enjoy the silent moments....To escape reality and enjoy the comfort of his arms. TO FEEL SAFE!! Not judged...No expectations...Just simply be.....

I believe this is why many people stay in the relationship they are in. It's safe. At least you know the person and man the thought of dating is scary!!!!! The thought of starting over again is frightening but I know with God's help all things are possible!

Hi Ladies,

How are we this evening? I've been extremely busy at work!!! I wish I could sit back and focus on this venture full time. That's how important it is to me, but the bills must be paid:-)

Topic: Developing a positive work environment.

When we enter a new place of business, I believe it's extremely important to develop professional and respectful relationships with fellow staff members. People should work together to accomplish the goal of the company. If we are working together for a common goal, why do we work against each other? Why do we talk about the other person instead of helping the other person?

I have a difficult time understanding this especially since I am in the business of children!! Is it me or should people learn to agree to disagree BUT GET THE JOB DONE??????

Hi Ladies,

How can a working mother & wife keep her family together as she deals with the demands of life? We rip and run all day long working, taking the kids here or there, we cook, clean, and wash the pain away from our children's eyes.......Do you have any suggestions you can give to support your fellow sister????

For example, my family would have different events for each day of the week: Make up Monday- complete anything not finished from the weekend Trick or treat Tuesday- special snack after dinner or before:-) Water Wednesday

Thumping Thursday- Game night

Any suggestions??????

Much Love & Support

As we journey around the track along life's journey: we will trip, we will stumble, we will leap over some hurdles and yes we will fall but we MUST get up and continue our race!

Can you imagine facing divorce, the potential loss of your MOTHER and working with your husband and his mistress! Well I can and I did!

I want you to know you are stronger than you can ever imagine!

As I enter the next phase of my life, I would like to share my experience and I would like for you to share as well. Through sharing we are healing and helping others. I can only pray you join me!
