I’m sick of going through the motions! I’m sick of doing things and being around people that mean absolutely nothing to me!
I’m tired of spending my valuable, precious life in exchange for paychecks!
The gifts and talents that I’ve been given are too special to give away just to get a few dollar bills. My life is to be spent making an impact on the lives of others.
It is no longer good enough for me to just be alive. I need to LIVE.
I need passion back in my life.
Alright, let’s get this straight. I didn’t write the article, What keeps a Man Crazy in Love?. I just brought it to your attention with the blog entitled, All Men Want the Same Thing. However, the comments clearly reflected a sentiment that women do enough already. And at this point, the ladies felt that the men should be stepping up their game to keep them crazy in love.
In other words, if the love has diminished, it is because the men are slacking! They said that husbands still expect them to work all day (whether at home or in the workforce), take care of the kids, keep the house clean, pay the bills, and THEN prepare and serve them dinner in a thong!
I was even asked to find an article that enumerated the 12 things a MAN should do to keep his woman crazy in love. It sounds like we’ve got a bad case of virtual finger-pointing here that needs to be addressed.
The point of the last blog was not to engage in the “blame game”, nor was it to “throw the sistahs under the bus”.
My intent was to communicate that men are generally very simple creatures, and that it really is not hard to figure out what makes them happy.
Now, back to the request to come up with 12 things a man should do to keep his woman crazy in love…
How about we write that one ourselves? Any ideas?
Today is Valentine’s Day! 
And already I’ve been asked, “Do you have any ideas on what I can give my girl for Valentine’s Day?”
Needless to say, the fact that you are just now asking the question is a problem. But the other problem, thanks in part to Hallmark, is that the obligation seems to fall men to do something, while there’s is little or no obligation on the women to give their men something! (But that’s a subject for another blog.)
Here’s what I’d like to know…What is the best gift that you’ve ever received (or given) for Valentine’s Day?
Maybe our discussion will provoke some ideas for our last-minute lovers!
I’m not sure what to say! 
A woman of Congolese origin set herself on fire as an act of protest against racism in Luxembourg City last week. (Read article)
This was a married woman in her 40s, mother of 3 children–not the typical profile of a martyr. However, this is not the first account we’ve heard of someone willing to die to bring attention to a cause.
I’m left asking myself this question, “What would drive a person to literally sacrifice his/her own life for some broad social issue?”
I strongly believe that people, Americans in particular, have gotten so comfortble in our lifestyles that we demonstrate very little passion for issues or causes. In fact, unless a specific issues threatens their private comfort, you probably won’t see any public outcries.
Trust me, I believe life is too precious to literally take your own.
But I have to ask you…Are there any issues that you are so passionate about, that you’re willing to commit your life to correcting that issue?
