BEING VULNERABLE FOR LOVE
So a few weeks ago I wrote about being vulnerable and not letting fear keep us from love. And while that authenticity was glorious to write, it is soooooooooooooo much harder to practice. I’ll be the first to admit, I was sipping some sugary, love flavored kool-aid a few weeks ago. My head was in the clouds as I believed that I had found that special one. I had it bad! The feeling was similar to plunging into a Babyface pre-divorce daydream (“I’ll cook your food, I’ll buy your clothes”).Read More
DEAR CRF, HE WANTS TO HAVE SEX…
Dear CRF, I am dating someone, at the serious point. Actually planning to get engaged in the upcoming week. We went away for 4th of July and he wanted badly sex while my 4 & 7yr olds just fell asleep. I refused. It’s something I feel is not right especially that we are only gone for two days.

Through the evolution of several years, one sees these two polar opposites fight against and build upon what has already beenRead More
DISTRACTIONS
One thing I’ve learned in the fight for love is that it requires your attention. Now I know that sounds easy. But with everything going on to distract us, we tend to forget what’s important. Think I’m lying huh? Raise your hands if you text while you’re driving. Oh that didn’t apply to you? Okay. Raise your hands if you text while you are waiting a stop light. That didn’t apply either? How many of you are texting or Facebooking during Sunday service? If that doesn’t hit you, how manyRead More
DOING TOO MUCH?
Is it that you are doing too much in a relationship, or is it that you’re doing it for a person who will never appreciate it? We’ve heard the old mantra about women giving out wife benefits before getting the ring. Such benefits include, cooking, cleaning, being a help mate, etc. What’s funny about that mantra is that many of the women who scream this loud are the same women who willingly share their bodies with men they aren’t married to. Or even if not, they are the same womenRead More
