Let me ask you something…
If you were to propose to yourself, right now, would you say YES?
What would you being say YES to?
Would you marry yourself right now?

Attracting the “Perfect” life partner is not about seeking perfection in another person.
Neither is it about being perfect for them.
Marriage isn’t for everyone – or, is it?

The journey of finding true love begins within you!
Before you say “I Do” to anyone, you must first take a long hard look at yourself to see if there is anything that stands in the way of your ultimate happiness.

Hidden demons not faced…patterns of behavior that have stalled previous relationships…insecurities that you have not overcome.

The pathway to marriage begins with being blissfully single.

BEFORE I SAY I DO…Blissfully Single & Marriage-Minded opens Pandora’s Box and helps you discover your truest most loving gift – You!

Being your absolute best allows you to attract a partner that will reflect that back to you — Isn’t that what we all want?

Take this journey to become “Blissfully Single & Marriage-Minded!”(tm)

A Book About Relationships: “Before I Say I Do…” – Book Release 9/14

The final question of your single life will be asked at the alter as you stand before your chosen life partner.  You will listen attentively with the answer at your lips ready to blurt out “I DO!”  And, you will disappear into marital bliss…at least, that is what you hope.

Of course, I’m making light of this, as witnessing the marriage ceremony is a sacred affair.

Getting to that coveted spot before the officiant and your beloved is a journey that began with an encounter.  That is what my new book release is all about  – the journey to the all important question that will change your name (as a woman) and your life!

What do you do before you say “I Do”?

You, Me, & We – Is Three a Crowd?

Over the weekend, some family and friends gathered at my Dad’s house for a BBQ.  We all played cards, dominoes, and engaged in some interesting conversations.  We began talking about relationships…I don’t know why, but this always seems to be the discussion that inspires the most emotionally charged participation.

Afterward, I began to really think about the concept of building a relationship, and as I have written about in many posts and my book  A Woman Like Me…A Man Like You, I discovered a new revelation that I will share here.

When two people come together in a union whether its legally binding or not, it is more than just about the two people.  There is a third person, or entity, that being brought into the equation that is often overlooked and sometimes ignored…that entity is ‘WE’.

‘WE’ is the compromise between YOU and ME.  WE is the stability that builds the relationship and grows it.  Whenever there is no growth in the relationship, stop and take at look at how much attention YOU and ME have paid to WE.

God’s Gift to Women? Not Even Close…

This is one of my more personal perspectives relating Biblical truth to societal standards of acceptance. So, before we delve into this topic, I will accept the idea that you may agree to disagree with my views…I’m cool with that.

The majority of single women that I have spoken with that want a man in their lives for a relationship leading to marriage, believe they would be “so lucky” to find that man. Here’s is where I have a problem with that: It sends the message that any man would do, that they are not worthy enough for a man to find them, and that they don’t view themselves as special. This is a low self-love issue…not self-esteem issue. Well, what’s the difference? Self-esteem says I “I can do…I can accomplish…”. Self-love says “I am deserving…I am worthy”

There are plenty of accomplished women who demonstrate low self-love by playing down to their partner’s ego. Allowing him to convince her that she is lucky to have him in her life. It’s time to flip the script, ladies, and remember who you are!

I am not dismissing the fact that there are good men who understand and acknowledge the gift of a great woman. These men know how to appreciate and demonstrate sensitivity to a woman’s needs and lift her up. It is the ego-mania men that I am discussing here. Those type of men seek to take advantage of women with high self-esteem (meaning they are accomplished) and using their low self-love issues against them.

To bring this back to the beginning (literally) – the Bible clearly states in Genesis 2:22 that God brought Eve to Adam. One translation reads, “presented her”. So, in essence, she was a gift to him from God. NEWS FLASH!!!
Women are God’s Gift to Men.

Ladies, remember this and you will not allow men to treat you like you are not the gift. You are the gift! We are the gift! When Adam received his beautiful gift, he cherished her. This is what we want from our men, to be cherished and valued. Not treated like some cracker-jack toy soon to be lost or misplaced.

Men who believe they are the gift to women are drowning in their own mucous of deception and need to get a grip. It ain’t so!

Now, how’s that for a dose of reality – albeit, mine.

A Woman Like Me…understands the special gift that God made her to be. She is filled with self-love and knows her worth.
