I hear so much about "black love" in response to African-American romantic relationships, so I look through my Bible and I can't find that phrase anywhere.  We don't like to be separated or segregated out, yet we do it to ourselves by putting the label of "black" in front of things that really have nothing to do with the color of the skin.  Love is love and once we can recognize that, then relationships will become more solid and last longer.  They will last longer, because they will be based on the true foundation of love.  The true foundation as set forth in the "Holy Bible".  When we look at the love of African-Americans differently from the love of every other race in this country, a message is being sent that says treat us differently.  
It is time to start calling love what it is "love".  The definition of love can not be changed or modified based on someone's ethnic make up.  I have heard the phrase "black love" far too long and it is use to identify couples who argue in the street and the next moment they are making up.  Okay, here's the thing...that is nothing more than an argument or possibly the sign of a dysfuntional relationship.  I saw a couple arguing just the other day, African-American, she was yelling at him and he was dismissing her and telling her to "shut-up" , the next minute he was saying "girl come on, let's go" and she started walking towards him to go.  My girlfriend, I was hanging out with, smiled and said "that's "black love" for you." I looked at her and said, "no", that's a couple that just had an argument".  She simply said, "that's how we do" .  I disagreed with her and thought this would be something great to blog about. Wouldn't it be great if we all learn the true definition of love and start living by it everyday.  The world would certainly be a lot closer and more in "love" in the truest sense of the word.  Share your thoughts and comments.      

If getting in good physical shape is one of your news years resolutions, then you might want to consider insuring that your mind gets in shape, also.  One thing I've noticed when working out at my fitness center is that many of the people working out are watching a news channel.  I am amazed that they have not stopped to think that they are putting excessive amounts of negativity into their mind.  That is like working out then eating two gallons of ice cream and three Big Macs.  That doesn't sound to healthy does it?  No, and neither is spending 1-2 hours taking in negative information.  Consider taking your own positive, inspirational, or motivational information with you when going to workout.  Make the commitment to treat your mind as wells as you treat your body. 

There is no need to wait until the summer before you start taking vacations.  Go on little mini-vacations and start having fun now.  Power is in the present moment and you want to start living your life to the fullest.  This is what having fun is all about.  Being in the moment is all about passion.  Commit to passionately having fun in your life, today.  Write down the five most exciting places you would like to go over the next 8 weeks and make plans to get there.  Travel is fun wether you are with a friend or alone.    Live, love, and laugh as much as you can.
                                                    

You are so uniquely made and that should never be down played.  Let the real you show.  Don't worry about loosing friends.  When you start to be yourself, you will automatically start to connect with new friends and you will find that those relationships will have more energy in them.  Russell Simmons', book, "Do You" is a great read.  Although, he discusses business, and success in some of the chapters, he spends a lot of time discussing being authentic.  The book explains the importance of being yourself.   When we can all be ourselves, then life will be so much better for everyone.  What's the answer? Be you, do you, show your authenticity.  

There is so much to see in this world, so get out and see it.  I've been to France, Italty, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Greece, the Bahamas and several states in the United States.  I've had fun on every trip, so how about you?  What  about you?  Where have you been and where are you going this year.  Get out there and start having fun in your life.  This year, for me, Hawaii and St. Lucia is on the list.  I can't wait to get out and about.  Isn't life fantastic!  Hey, how about a cruise or rent a vacation home nearby.  It doesn't matter, just get out there and GO!            

Yes, you can work and live your daily life and have fun all at the same time.  Just wake up everyday with a commitment to do your best in life and decide that you are going to be happy no matter what.  Don't let anyone rain on your parade.  Stay away from criticizing others and be happy for the success of others and just go for what you think you deserve.  Celebrate everyday with the enthusiasm of a child. Any plans for increasing your fun in life?  Let's share.
