Don't fret. Depression is very common. Many will experience some type of depression in their life time. Depression is a serious mental disorder that shouldn't be ignored. A major depressive disorder is defined as a persistent low mood that is accompanied by low self-esteem and by a loss of interest or pleasure in normally enjoyable activities. The disorder is a disabling condition that adversely affects a person's family, work, or school life, sleeping and eating habits, and general health. In the United States, around 3.4% of people with major depression commit suicide, and up to 60% of people who commit suicide had depression or another mood disorder. Due to the severity of depression one should always be informed of the symptoms and treatment plans.  Educate yourself on depression and keep a close watch on friends and/or family who you think may be suffering from this disorder. Symptoms may include: irritability (short fuse) pess...

Let's think about the lyrics in, "I'm Every Woman," a song sang by Whitney Houston. "Whatever you want, whatever you need Anything you want done, baby, I'll do it naturally 'Cause I'm every woman (every woman) It's all in me, it's all in me, yeah!" The lyrics suggest that women can do it all with no problems. We know the vessel called female is pertinent to life, her body is used to nurture, protect, produce, and love. She is the glue that holds the family together. However, when a woman is broken, things around her fall apart. It's vital for the female to take care of herself, she's similar to the engine of a car, without her nothing will run. Just like that engine needs routine oil changes and maintenance so does she. In fact, recent studies show women suffer more mental health issues than men due to the stress of juggling their career, family, and other leadership roles. In the midst of being every woman, she forgets a...

I'm not a Traditional Girl in any kind of way, I realized a long time ago no one is perfect no matter what they say. I'm not traditional in any kind of way, I live my life for me pursuing true happiness each day. I'm not traditional in any kind of way, I'm a queen, I make my own rules you can leave or stay. I'm not traditional in any kind of way, like me, love me, it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, touché.   I'm not traditional in any kind of way, my life is mine, and I'm loving the image I portray.   I'm not traditional in any kind of way, I have a fun personality that inspires others to play.    I'm not traditional in any kind of way, I talk to the Lord daily not just on Sunday.   I'm not traditional in any kind of way, I celebrate life yearly not just on my birthday.   I'm not a Traditional Girl in any kind of way, I create my own legacy to obey.  ...

It appears a large percentage of younger men are attracted to women over forty and not just on television show's like Empire. Are they looking to be nurtured? Do they want someone to take care of them? Or are they in the mood for wild, passionate sex? I surveyed a few men in their 20's and this is what they said, "I like women 40 and over because they are:" 1.   Very Expressive. They know what they want. 2.   Confident. Secure. Never Clingy. 3.   Focused and Goal Oriented. Challenge Themselves. 4.   Stimulating Conversation. 5.   She's a provider: financially, emotionally, and mentally. 6.   She's Experienced. Seasoned. Knowledgeable. 7.   She's able to see things for more than face value. 8.   Loves unconditional. Isn't concerned about superficial things. 9.   Awesome Lover. 10. Doesn't play games. Authentic. 11. No commitment. 12. Freaky....

In memory of Karl Denton Robinson July 5, 1941 to February 10, 2015   How can I be sad when You blessed me with 25 more years with him? They said it was stage 4, terminal, the end, but You said different.   How can I be sad when You gave him time to turn his life around? You gave him a new life. A new look. A brighter future.   How can I be sad when You allowed him to be a wonderful grandfather to my kids? A man my son looked up to. A paw-paw to my daughter. The good guy who always greeted them with gifts and a smile.   How can I be sad when the cancer came back? They gave him 4 months to live, terminal the end, but You said different.   How can I be sad when you gave me 7 years to mourn the death of my niece before You took him away? You didn't give me more than I could handle, You allowed me to grieve and heal.    How can I be sad? I'm thankful. I'm appreciative. I'm hap...

I'm angry! I'm mad as hell! How could that bitch go shooting without knowing her victims. Opening fire and killing students with kids, families, and a future. I'm angry! There was nothing I could do, nothing I could say. It was all out of my control. I couldn't protect you... I'm angry! I hate the Mayor, the pawn shop that sold the bitch the gun, the crisis hotline, and all the people who made empty promises. You did nothing to make this thing right. Now it's my turn to let this shit out. I'm angry! I'm mad ass hell! It's not okay, young lives were loss. Why? Because your short, ugly, fat, black ass didn't like what you saw when you looked in the mirror. If you wanted to die, then you should've went alone. Why kill and torment innocent people you barely knew? Bitch I hate you! And I'll never get to tell you, "Burn In Hell", because you took care of that when you turned the gun to yourself... Note: If something is bo...

A feeling is just that, a feeling, you don't have to digest it. You have the ability to change your current situation into a pleasurable emotion. Negativity masked as jealousy and envy is thrown at us all day everyday and it will never stop. Why should you catch it and swallow it? If you continue to devour bad things you'll reek despair, disappointment, weakness, sadness, and ultimately feel like a huge failure.    If you want to be happy it's time to rebuke all the toxins inside your body. Eliminate the negativity, don't consume it. Take your power back and walk around free from pain. Don't take on the problems of others; learn to keep your mouth closed and your back turned. Those bad calories they possess will load you down and destroy you. Choose peace and incorporate greatness. Say no to the bad and yes to the good. Remember, you are in control of you, be the positive change agent in your life. Rebuke a...
