My Mother Should’ve Been Locked Up Too
For most of my life, I lived in one town on Long Island (New York). When most people hear “Long Island” they think money and the Hamptons (and Diddy’s parties). However, the Long Island I know and love is far from the money or glitz associated with the North Shore or the far eastern end [...]
Relationship Experts: Hate The Player Or The Game?
I listen to the Steve Harvey Morning Show damn near everyday, and have done so for a while. The Strawberry Letter is one of my favorite segments of the show, and I get a little upset if I miss it. Between the foolish, sad, or close-to-home stories and Steve’s funny, ignorant, honest or off-base commentary, [...]
Complexion Is Complicated

A few weeks ago, I read a post by Dr. J about women, learned dependence on men, and being single. Truth be told, I read a lot of stuff by him, but often walk away feeling some type of way—not necessarily good or bad. I was moved in a few different directions by this [...]
Do What Matters To You
As the days of every week go by I find myself wondering “What am I going to write about this week?” Although I write here once a week for the most part, for the last few months, I have found myself struggling to find something to say about something. As a woman who wants to [...]
Why New Year’s Resolutions Suck
As we all get geared to spend time with family (and money on them), many of us are also spending time thinking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of 2010 and hoping for a better and brighter 2011. This process is no different than any other year. Many of us gripe about what [...]
