OMG!!! Brian McKnight is coming to see me.... In OCTOBER!!!

yEAH, i'M A cRAZY FaN, bUT DoN't bELIeVe tHE hYPe!

I'm getting my tickets though to drool for one night. Gonna wear pants so I don't slide out the seats. LOL. Yeah, that's my TMI!


Wa-hoo! Who's with me?

When a married couple is ready to call it quits, they always want different things. Raymond Mays (Brian McKnight) wants a divorce and Morgan Mays (Vivica A. Fox) wants alimony. When the fed-up judge bangs her gavel, she decides Morgan doesn't deserve half... she deserves it all. Morgan gets everything-the house, Raymond's retirement, and some would say even his self-esteem, leaving him with nothing but the thought; it would have been cheaper to keep her. Raymond has two options to prevent him from paying alimony: kill Morgan or get her married off to someone else. As ex-husband and ex-love face off with each other, broken hearts will get revenge and hearts and marital matrimony will collide only to discover if it's easier to love her as his wife.  TOUR DATES Los Angeles CA, The Wiltern, September 30 - October 2 Las Vegas NV, Planet Hollywood, September 18 Phoenix, AZ, Dodge Theater, September 19 Bakersfield, CA, Rabobank Theater, September 21 Fresno, CA, Saroyan Theatre, September 22 Oakland, CA, Paramount Theatre, September 23-25 Sacramento, CA, Memorial Auditorium, September 26 Roanoke, VA, Roanoke Civic Center, October 6 Raleigh, NC, Memorial Auditorium, October 7 Greensboro, NC, War Memorial Auditorium, October 8 Portsmouth, VA, Willett Hall, October 9-10 *Detroit, MI, Music Hall Center, October 12-17* (Motorcoach package available - www.t-rose.com) Kansas City MO, Music Hall Kansas City, October 21-22 St. Louis, MO, Chaifetz Arena, October 23 Indianapolis, IN, Murat Theatre, October 24 Baltimore, MD, Murphy Fines Arts Center at Morgan State, October 28-31 Macon, GA, Macon Centreplex, November 3 Atlanta, GA, Atlanta Civic Center, November 4-6 Augusta, GA, Bell Auditorium, November 7 Philadelphia, PA, Merriam Theater, November 10-14 Chicago, IL, Auditorium Theatre, November 18-21 E-Promotion Provided by: T.

Love Language Day and Spy Novels Are Splendid Day,

Today, I decided to talk about these Days To Celebrate

Love Language Day :

I found after reading a review on the Art of Spark it was highly import to know the languages of love. I was mad at myself for not being able to understand the language until then. Once I understood, education is truly power and I know in myself how to speak clearly of my own love wishes and listen to his. I also send Gary Chapman's newsletter on my site, where he clearly talks about loving communication. His book is very good as well. 

I tried to Google this day to find the official day site, but nothing was found, so I've written about it here as a reminder that today is the day.

I also added Spy Novels Are Splendid Day. That's because I love books and I super lover spy novels and I wanted my blog to consist of this today. I couldn't find an official spy novel site for this day. 

Search Amazon.com for spy novels 

other days for today is also:

Ngali Nut Day, Indoor Swimming Pool Birthday, Sierra Club Birthday &
Amnesty International Birthday

 Be blessed and have fun celebrating!

7 Questions To Ask Before Trusting A New Partner

 

Ask yourself the following questions before putting your trust in a new relationship.

by Denise Ngo 

NPR recently featured a story on people who have Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that makes it biologically impossible to distrust others. That is, they suffer an imbalance of oxytocin, a hormone that the brain generates after perceiving a non-threatening situation. Learning To Trust Again

Although the story focused primarily on children's trust in strangers and on society's trust in the government, it inspired the question of how we perceive the trustworthiness of desirable strangers. When we date someone new, how do we gauge their trustworthiness? How do we even know that our "trust radar" is functioning properly? 7 Ways To Stay Positive About Dating

Unfortunately, we often come to question a partner's trustworthiness after a relationship where trust was broken.Thankfully, there are ways to prevent that from happening again—without becoming a total neurotic. The next time you're considering putting your heart on the line, we suggest you simply ask yourself the following questions:

Monday Morning Motivation - "What's In Your Backpack?"

Click On This Banner To Visit My Website Monday Morning Motivation "What's In Your Backpack?" Greetings! People often say that when something bad happens, or when you go through something that you're supposed to put the past behind you and move on.  This advice has always seemed to make a lot of sense but now that I think about it, where does all of that past that you're chucking over your shoulder go?  For years, every time I experienced a setback, a failure, a disappointment or the like, I simply tossed it behind me and kept things moving along at a rather brisk pace.  Then one day I realized that I just felt heavy.  I got to a place where I just could not move forward anymore. In church on Sunday the Pastor touched on this subject, and he said that back in old days the punishment for killing a man was that his dead body would be tied to your back.  Imagine having to go through life with a heavy, smelly rotting dead person on your back. That dead person represents the old you.  I know that image is rather grotesque so let's liken the dead person or the old you to an over sized and over stuffed backpack. When you put your failures behind you, you are placing them in an overweight back pack that represents your emotional and psychological baggage.  In order to move forward it is necessary to acknowledge or address those things or people that have hurt or harmed you.  I've found peace and healing in using those negative situations in my writing, thus helping others while simultaneously freeing myself of the extra baggage. So today I encourage you to remove that back pack, empty it out. Lay the things that were in it out before you. Deal with them, learn from them, and use them as stepping stones so that you may reach further and higher without the heavy burden.
