I am now standing here a UA Alumni. And from the many days dragging myself out of bed to go to class, borrowed WiFi passwords for homework and pep-talks from my family to get my head back in the game and moving out on my own. I can say that everything was worth it. I dreamt of all this and I just feel blessed. My hard worked paid off and I received my Bachelors with plans of returning for my Masters. She believed she could, so she did. #BlackExcellence #TheUniversityofAkron Class of 2018

Putting Down Your Baggage

Image
Most people have the lifelong burden of carrying baggage that does not belong to them. Baggage of pain, hurt, un - forgiveness, bitterness, sadness, humiliation and broken hearts. The problem with these types of baggage is that over time you get emotionally drained by the weight laid on your heart and your minds, you continually think about how bad it feels and slowly sink yourself into subconscious depression.When this happens you wonder why all seems so bad way before a doctor’s diagnosis you begin to crumble. You may begin a relationship that seems to go no further than a certain point as if there was a barrier preventing you from pursuing higher heights.Your job may be a never ending struggle as your heart is preoccupied with other feelings, your mind with other thoughts and your life still in the past.

Marriage and the Economy---Can’t Buy Me Love

The other day I heard a report on the economy where the new jobs created numbers were being reported. Everyone was excited about the 162,000 jobs that had been created even though the unemployment rate had not dropped and the majority of the jobs being talked about were temporary and seasonal. The census helped 2010 in a temporary way. This news was very distributing to me. So distributing that I sat down and wrote a letter to President Obama, have not mailed yet but I did write it. The letter basically informs President Obama on the state of my America. As I wrote, all I could see was that middle class Americans like me and many others would never be the same. America was changing, not the President’s fault but changing still the same. My spirit was broken by what many couples have to face; so I started looking up statics to see how finances really impacted marriages. I also looked up these numbers for my own research because Marcus and I noticed that w...

Common sense isn't common....

Image
Now, I am one who appreciates good old common sense. I am a thinking man/husband and the truth is so simple. Common sense isn't common. That is very true in society today. We like to complicate things. If something seems too simple, we think it can't possibly be effective. And the pure and simple truth is that nature has given us what we need to keep our bodies healthy and well. And to mutilate and destroy the body in any way under the guise of attempting to heal it makes no sense at all. I am not a practitioner or a scientist, but I am a creature of nature, and I have learned to live according to natural laws. First you have to decide to accept responsibility for your health and understand that you have the authority to choose what you are going to take into your life. So what are the things that are going to build your health? THE TWELVE BUILDING BLOCKS OF HEALTH: 1. The Human Mind is Ultimately the Most Important Building Block to Health and Well-being. We showed earlier, u...
