Dating - Compatibility

"Dating more than anything is about compatibility. If your man is not compatible on basic levels: values, class, intelligence or common interests, the relationship won’t last. When you are dating someone you are compatible with there shouldn’t be a need to essentially change him through an upgrading process."

 From Bene Viera said it best when she wrote the article, ‘Is He Worth Upgrading’:

Today was a good day.

I woke up this morning wrapping my head around the fact that I was going to walk across the stage later this evening to receive my Master's degree. As excited as I am to complete the course work for this degree a piece of me was sad. This month my friend and father of my child would of graduated with a MBA and JD. We talked about how we did not plan to walk at graduation and rather relax after our hard work. After his death in July, I decided I would walk in my graduation. Partly to honor him, but also for our child to see. A few days ago his mother received both of his degrees in the mail from his school. It was a very touching moment. To see his hard work to pay off. To see what he worked hard for right there, but he is not here. Why... we will never know. It is kinda like the hard work pushed him to a point where he felt he could not handle any more. Or maybe the thought of succeeding in the next step in life was overwhelming. Either way he chose to end his life. And I know th

Why Do We Love Love?

This is an age old question. We all love LOVE! Love of all forms. Parent, sibling, children, friends, and of course mate.

I was thinking about this whole loving Love thing and wondered what keeps people seeking it. Especially romantic love. For most people by a certain age in adulthood, they have been hurt by love. Yet, the average person still believe in and pursue it. But why? The wonderful feeling of being loved? The feeling giving love gives you? The feeling of being in loved?

Changes

Over the last 6 months I have been making changes in my life. Getting rid of people who are not positive or bring happiness to my life. Looking inside of myself to find what makes me happy, unhappy, irritated, and so on. I realized that God has put me in a rebuilding phase in my life and that it is not only career focused. One of the things I had to evaluate was my romantic relationship. Figure out if that is where I needed to be. After trying to work out the 'issues' we realized it was not where I needed to be, at least right now. I read the following on blogs this past week and I felt they speak to where I am right now. Looking for happiness, love, and more... " Let's face it: Sometimes we want the relationship more than we want the man. We want someone to buy us a ring, put us on a pedestal and be our "plus one"." " What I would wish for all of the ladies is to check their math to make sure they don't short themselves their happiness, dignity
