Admin Note: This year has been paramount for Domestic Violence. With the recent incident surrounding Tiger Woods and wife Erin Nordegren(she kept her name? gangsta!) I just thought I’d break out my Negradamous prediction from May on SH Collective blog, where I officially declared 2009, the year of Domestic Violence. I mean I don’t think this is something to brag about, its embarassing really. I’ve shared my own story of relationship violence, and through the posts Ive learned a lot about our attitudes towards the different genders when it comes …

Have a seat, and please let me fix you something to drink. I got water, 100% fruit juice, that Grand Marnier I got for my birthday. Oh and that umm Wray and nephew *smirks*.Yea I got some coke, just for the occasion, because you know I can’t fux with the dark soda on the regular anymore. You good? Ok, that’s great.
I realize I’ve been posting since February, it started out as somewhat personal, got a bit generic, then really personal, and then lately I’ve been switching it up. So I’m …

I recently had a conversation with a friend a few days back and we got on the topic of Christianity and dating. I’m not a bible thumper, I acknowledge that there is a god, and that we are the most high’s children, but I’m more spiritual than religious. Nevertheless I was raised in a religious home, Seventh day Adventist Pentecostal church of god, I got a few bibles, and religious books lying around. Oddly enough I have a series of books on Christians and relationships, these books were published in …

Ok, I didn’t want to tease everyone with yesterday’s Holiday Party Etiquette post and not deliver. I will make this very short and sweeeeeet.
I do not support office/work relationships. I can’t imagine spending 8+ hours with the boo, drive with home with the boo, hop in bed with the boo, then repeat the same thing all over again, but that’s just me. I think it’s healthy to have separate lives and friends; work is a large chunk of that separation. Years back I worked with someone who was not my …

Hey everybody! First off, Happy Thanksgiving to all my American GI readers, I’m grateful for each and every one of you *kisses* Secondly, its official, the Holiday madness is in full effect. This means parties, gatherings, liquor, food, more food, gift giving, last minute shopping, mistletoe, snow and all that good stuff. I opted out of our company party this year and have decided to fill my social holiday calendar with networking events, networking OUTSIDE of work. I’m sure I’m not alone, with the market still in a period of …

Hey y’all I’m so wore out!!! I just got back from my extra long- travel disaster- but -hectic goodness of a weekend. Because my travel was so, ummmm… “Unpredictable” I got in late and was unmotivated to the point where I almost missed a chance to get up close and personal with Vudz hair products. Nevertheless I uncoiled myself from a slumberous disposition and headed out to Chiggy’s Touch Salon  in Yorkville downtown Toronto, for an evening of cocktails and conversation with Toronto’s hair elite presented in part by Thierry …

Long overdue, my gorgeous Canadian sister from the west is going to take over today. If you have not already, please pay her a visit at the  highly entertaining and insightful blog Ms.Nikks….enjoy!!!
Late night conversations.  Giggling.  Butterflies.  Dinners.  Flowers.  Walks.  Kisses.  Kindness.  Attention.  Gentleness and most of all TIME.
“If we were together baby, I’d do this and I’d do that.  I’d treat you this way and never make you feel like he/she is making you feel right now!”
We spend so much time trying to convince each other that we’d be good together, …
