See? Truth spoke!
I am understanding the importance of treating others the way I want to be treated, more and more, every single day. If I want someone to fight for me, I have to be ready to fight for them. If I want someone to be patient with me, I must exude patience. If I want to be with someone who has spiritual maturity, I must nurture my spiritual journey. Who am I to have any expectations if I do not set...

GUESTBREAKER: An Adorable Baby With Down Syndrome Waved At You And You Didn’t Smile Or Wave Back
Our sexual chemistry was clearly undeniable as we stood next to each other waiting for our luggage at the airport baggage claim. After all, we smiled at each other once. It was only a matter of time before we got our suitcases mixed up and I had to track you down at your house to switch bags only to...

One More Thing...
If a woman is telling you that you will one day make a lady very happy, but she isn’t dating you…SHE’S NOT INTERESTED.
AND
Telling a girl she is beautiful everyday, after she’s told you she’s not interested, will not make her like you. It’s just creepy.
MEN! LISTEN UP!
If you want to date a girl, you MUST ask them on a date. What a concept! If you do not know that a girl is interested, ask her out and she will let you know. Asking a lady on a date means you say, “May I take you on a date?” or “May I please take you to dinner?”
“Hanging out” is not a date. If you tell a girl you want to “hang out” she is...

Has anyone seen the show Teen Mom on MTV?
WOW. Literally, no words. Can you imagine being 16, having a baby, a baby for a boyfriend, no (high school) education, the list obviously goes on and on…..! I think this is the most depressing thing I have ever seen. I can’t imagine kids now, in my twenties, let alone as a teenager. I look at my sixteen year old sister and literally become...
“This is EXACTLY why men should NOT get married before they are thirty. Or ever.”
– My mom as she is watching some douchebag on Top Chef
I'm a hit with men over the age of 50.
old man: Can I tell you something?
me: yeah...sure
old man: you are the prettiest girl I have seen all day.
me: (blushing and awkardly laughing) well its only 1:18...you got a lot of day left to say that.
old man: no no...I can tell you put some work in, this (pointing to me) just doesn't happen.
me: ha, well I did....
old man: I can tell, whatever you did...its working on me. You're beautiful. I'm serious.
me: (blushing and nervously laughing) thanks.....
Embrace it!!
you go girl;)
The More You Talk, The More I'm Right Cont.
Now he’s asking me what I’m thinking. This has GOT to be a joke.
The More You Talk, The More I'm Right
So there is a guy, who shall remain nameless, who is 25 years old. He is the type who REALLY wants to get married. He talks about things he wants to do with his future wife, what he wants his wedding to be like, his future kids, his future house, blah blah blah. When we first started conversing on more than a leader-volunteer basis, he asked me question after question, like he was checking them...

To Call or Not to Call (source: tressugar.com)
This post comes from Group Therapy in our TrèsSugar Community. Feel free to add your advice in the comments!
So I meet a guy through a friend of mine and I’ve see him a few times within the following month. We have great talks when we do get together and a really great connection. I saw him this weekend at a Christmas party and he kissed me on the cheek good night. So my question is — when...

“Don’t date potential.”
– Professor Michael Bruner
This is the most important thing I learned in college.
p.s. Michael Bruner is the most insightful writer/professor/man/husband/father/Christian/mentor I have ever known. He got married to the love of his life in his thirties and has a beautiful daughter, baby Belle. He...
Sunday Morning Soul Food
I am currently reading Steve Harvey’s book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. I know I know, sounds questionable. But after much prodding from my very wise older sister, I decided it was worth a shot. Let me tell you, this book is the TRUTH. I wanted to share an excerpt from the first chapter, which breaks down all we need to know about men. It’s lengthy but so worth the read.

this seems like a good time to plug my sister’s new blog . based partly of an article i wrote, and mostly off a speech she wrote about men not being ready for marriage until after their twenties, its a humorous approach to lamenting about the lameness of guys who think they know, but really have no idea. follow and enjoy.
p.s. aggie, YOU’RE the best.
Hey thanks! Yea,...
The Seven Virtues
justbesplendid:
m-altruism:
When Pope Gregory defined the seven deadly sins that we should avoid, he also included a counter-balancing set of values that we should espouse and adopt. These are:
Faith is belief in the right things (including the virtues!).
Hope is taking a positive future view, that good will prevail.
Charity is concern for, and active...

Tony B.- age 66
Let me share Tony B.’s story.
Tony got married at the age of 21. He stayed married to his wife for about 6 years before amicably divorcing. Flash forward 7 years (age 34) and he meets the woman of his dreams! The most faboosh blonde waltzes into his work and is introduced as a new employee. He knew from the moment he laid eyes on her that she was the woman he would spend the rest of his...

LADIES. Men like little black dresses. Invest in one pronto, as an lbd is always appropriate attire.
