My Favorite Five Relationship Books

    Reading has always been my favorite hobby. Since I was a child, I have always been in love with reading! As an adult, I still force time in my busy schedule to do so. Reading can be entertaining and educational of course. During my marriage, I have found myself researching so many different concepts relating to the psychology behind relationships to the spirituality of relationships. Here's a list of my favorite top 5 relationship books and why:

1.)  Five Love Languages: Gary Chapman is one of my favorite authors. This book gives the simple formula of how to show your significant other love based on how they define it and what makes them feel admired.

2.) 7 Principles of Marriage: This book is really informative and gives 7 principles found in most effective marriages.

3.) Power of a Praying Wife: This book is a great option if you believe in the power of prayer. It emphasizes how to stop fighting in your marriage, and how to take those frustrations to God. This can be a challenge depending on what your marriage issues are, but it's worth a read if you're into praying.

4.) The Love Dare: I really enjoyed this book! The challenges seemed a bit cheesy, but I tried most of them and they worked! I redo some of them from time to time, because a lot of them are great for reminding me how to value my spouse for who he is right now and how to express that to him.

5.) Loving Your Spouse When You Feel Like Walking Away: This book was filled with stories about people dealing with different struggles. Even though most scenarios didn't  relate to my marriage, I enjoyed the advice it gave about unconditional love and the encouragement it offered for when your marriage has taken a left turn.

Although a lot of these pertain to marriages, I read a lot of reviews prior to reading these and a lot of people mentioned not being married or spiritual but were still able to utilize the information given. 

Until Next Time,

What's Wrong With Black Women?

         Many people don't like labels. They say they don't like to be categorized. I listened to an interview of one of my former childhood role models Raven Symone and she discussed how she didn't feel like an African American fit who she was. She discussed how being categorized made her feel limited. This comment sparked controversy as well as other racial commentary she has made in the last couple of years. However, I pondered if I was offended. At first, I immediately was offended because all my ears heard was that she doesn't feel like she's a black person. After all, she publicly identified as black at the convenience of black households supporting her movies, clothes, and other Disney ventures. Then, I thought about what else she said and I realized I don't like labels either. I don't like the categories America shove blacks in or the stereotypes that follow. These labels are the only mainstream exposure our white and Hispanic counterparts know abou

Back 2 School Expenses You Didn’t Think About

 With schools back in, a lot of parents have been buying supplies and clothes to prepare for the upcoming school year. However, pencils and glue sticks may not be as expensive as you think compared to these items. Here’s a list of school expenses that it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for: 1.) School Pictures: If you have multiple kids in school, this easily adds up to a nice amount of money. Although they have a basic package, purchasing two or three will certainly add up. Not to mention most schools have fall, spring, and class pictures taken. By the end of the year, you’ll be surprised how much you spent on pictures alone. 2.) Field Trips: It’s free to sign for, but it’s not free for them to go. Field Trips are a fun interactive way for kids to experience what they’re learning about but it comes at a cost. Varying by location and gas spent, field trips end up costing parents significantly as well. 3.) Teacher Appreciation Day I know it’s optional to participate and there’s even the op

Money Monday 💲💲💲

Everyone needs it, but everyone uses it differently! Today, we're discussing different types of money personalities. The way you perceive your finances affects your children, so financial literacy is overly significant. Money Hoarders just have to hold on to every cent. These individuals take pride in saving and budgeting their income. Money Monks take a moral standpoint on their funds. They don't want their amount of money earned to turn them away from their spiritual beliefs. "Money is the root of all evil," for money monks. Spenders like to throw all their hard earned money away. They are driven by impulse, and their wallets reflect it! Avoiders don't care for the responsibilities that come with money management. Lack of knowledge and confidence in their income causes them to be apathetic about their financial state. Amassers love obtaining wealth and multiplying it. They have entrepreneurial spirits, and desire to make their money into generational wealth. Wer
