Oops i forgot i said two poems, forgive my negligence....here's the second poem.

I just want someone to love me

softly, fiercely, passionately, unconditionally,

I want to be loved in ways I can't describe

unspeakable wishes filling my soul

leaving my soul yearning for a touch

so deep, so profound, so warm, so consuming,

I'm left breathless by the thought....

My soul searches my heart's hidden crevices

looking for love perhaps misplaced

jumping with hope at the shadows

of unrequited loves.....

reaching for arms that elude me

grasping at unfilled promises

I grow weary in my search

wondering at the difficulty of such a simple wish....

I want someone to love me

to make me giggle at nothing to make me feel uncommonly beautiful

to make me embrace the air just because

just because....

I am loved...

from the top of my head to the tip of my toes

inside and out

gentle, possessively, indescribably, totally....

totally loved.....

Thats it.....know you know i feel strongly about romance...the whole hyped up package.....tell me what you think...i'd love to hear from anybody sooonnnnn.

Memoirs of the Last 10%



Counting, what i have left of Michelle Mckinney's Book are just 6 in number..i have read her books and constantly strive to get new ones read.

Her books are Inspiring, Down to earth, Real, Godly, yet Sexy and most importantly it teachs us of what is obtainable even in this day and age.

I am going to document two of my most favorite poems from her book...the Last ten percent.

It tells of what all women want....i am sure if by any chance you have any emotion in you...you will like it too.....

WHAT DO I WANT?

I just want what every woman wants

warm arms on a cold night

promises of forever and wonderful todays

silent understanding

and kisses that leave me breathless

i want what every woman wants

soft words in hardtimes

someone to read my heart and touch my mind

I want a co-conspirator

a treasure chest to hold my secrets

I want a firm hold

when i\'m losing my grip

someone to call me in from the rain

to be my shield, my pillow, my river,my mountain, my rock....

I want to be rescued

lost in an embrace and found not wanting...

what do i want?

what every woman wants.....

to find her way home....

Wrong and Better ways of maintaining attraction

It ‘s a known fact that men often start off hot, spicy and heavy in relationships…….but then as quickly as they started, they unexpectedly turn ice cold.

Our first reaction to this unexpected behavior is usually characterized with several questions such as, what in the world did I do wrong?, was it something I said or didn’t say?, is my rejection predetermined by simply being me?....a whole lot of questions fill a confused and despaired mind.

The essence of this article however, is to bring to the fore, what might have been the generating or fueling factor for the triggered behavior experienced by your partner.

*P.S, This is not saying we don’t have jerks around who claim to be men, going around with one single goal in mind, knocking up anything in skirt and then scampering off like nothing happened. This is simply a means to better ourselves and avoid some common pitfalls we have often time been faced with and allowed in relationships.

The only person you are capable of handling (and I say handle….not manipulate) in any given relationship is yourself. You are absolutely responsible for yourself and how a man treats you in a relationship. Everybody goes through life with the desire to be loved, respected and given attention. The absence or sudden withdrawal from this especially in relationships sets in some sort of panic and Instinctively, there’s the need to quickly fix the problem, mend what seems to be breaking or fill the empty space building.
The more this is done, the worse the situations gets…..if this has ever happened to you, you can always holla……

You will never see things from your partner’s eyes because you are two entirely different people. Men and women are wired differently, attempting to change this is almost unnatural and the earlier this is understood the better because you would be guarding yourself from the hurts and frustrations that come from trying to change the other.

My next article bothers on The reason men walk away even when the relationship is so gooooood…, , but this article for today captions what you should try to avoid when at some point in your relationship the man you so desire just seems to be disengaging from you…remember, the goal here is to maintain the attraction..

DON’T: There’s a tendency for you to want to fill in the building empty space by constantly sharing your thoughts and feelings, the need to tell him how much you love or like him. Don't.
BETTER WAY: Avoid rushing ahead. Give him time and space in your interactions. There’s a possibility here that he’s evaluating the relationship or generally testing you.

DON’T: Telephone calls have reduced; physical distance is telling, he’s constantly telling you he’s busy and that you should give him time and you’re now killing him with kindness by complimenting him every chance you get, calling him all the time, doing favors that are unsolicited for and generally trying to show him that you can be the special companion to him.
BETTER WAY: Think playful instead of nice. Be unpredictable and intriguing. Create tension and interest by not always doing or saying the “obvious”. This I assure you will keep him thinking and wondering about you, and get him doing things to get more of your time and attention.

DON’T: Sleep with him in the hopes that by being close and intimate, he’ll realize how much he likes you and how amazing you are together. He won’t change his mind even after you've had the most exciting rumbling sheet experience. Take on convincing or pleading behaviors’, its 100% guaranteed to make him withdraw farther away from you.
BETTER WAY: Communicate to him in a dignified, yet humble manner that you’re selective and that you respect yourself. Create what’s more emotional with him than physical..He’ll respect you more for it.

Well now if after you’ve tried, he still doesn’t budge, then he needs to get his head examined.lolllll

The Beginning


I have always wondered what my first article would be like - what i would say, being a major concern. It literally scared me to think about, but finally yesterday inspite of my fears i decided to be courageous. I told God that he should use everything i had gone through to be a source of encouragement, blessing and inspiration to whoever and i mean whoever reads through the articles.
This is the beginning of a new era, i plan on taking full advantage of this medium. Most of the write-ups, stories and articles would be centred around dating and relationships, making and maintaining the right ones, letting go of the incessantly ridiculous ones, the do's and dont's, the how's to being a better you, making quality and irregretable decisions...its a whole list and yeaahh some in and out stuff on enterpreneurship, poems, etc....
I am assuring you of the certainties of being exposed to truths that u might just be aware of, but are just simply ignoring.
I know without a doubt that we are all the same and possibly go through the same issues..i open you up to the opportunity to share, be heard, be expressive, no matter how derogatory the issue.
It going to be a jolly ride, tag along and i promise you wont regret the ride.
