Tragically Hilarious Tales About Love
Who goes to get a hammy ham sandwich in the middle of the night and ends up getting her face bitten by an unhandsome stranger? This girl over here. I guess the lesson in that is: 1. Don't go buy anymore sandwiches in Brooklyn after 10 p.m. 2. Don't go buy sandwiches by in Brooklyn by yourself. 3. Don't go buy anything by yourself. 4. Stay in the house for the rest of eternity to properly avoid men with teeth. That way, all of us can avoid getting our faces bitten by cannibalistic men set on making your their girlfriend against your will. Tragic. Isn't dating as a black woman already hard enough without worrying about the next time you're going to get a face-full of freshly buttered teeth? I think the hell so. I've been dating as a black woman since before I even reached womanhood. That's how bad it is out here in these love-streets.That's just one happening. In the rest of these little lessons we will talk about the absolute horrors of trying to casually date, how to attempt getting over very sad one-night stands, what I fondly call "deadline dating", sticking to some portion of your dating standards, the emotional abuse and manipulation that is so ripe in the world of trying to fall in love, and what happens when you no longer believe you can fall in love. The truest of all the tragedies. We ain't supposed to talk about that though. We're supposed to be eternally hopeful that love is out there and believe that us, black women, are the problem. I'm here to tell you that we aren't. Just like it isn't my fault that I innocently went out looking for a salted sandwich with some tomatoes on it and ended up having some giant stranger sink his teeth into my face. I couldn't have predicted that. Just like none of us could have predicted we'd still have troubles finding something that is supposedly as easy to find as love. Love ain't that easy. You aren't being difficult for wanting the best love for yourself, you're honoring yourself, and sometimes you need to experience some truly unfortunate things to get back to finding the love you deserve. I sholl hate it, but I've been there. Let's go on this journey together as I present to you my own tragically hilarious stories about love.

Sycamore Drive
It's in 1955. Eisenhower is President and the Cold War is at its height, yet life on Sycamore Drive in the mid-sized city of Riverport, Illinois seems idyllic and sweet.Much of the neighborhood's social life centers on St. Mary's Catholic Church, its parish school and a group of families that have known each other for generations. But then the revelation of inappropriate interactions with some of the altar boys at the church comes to light. Suddenly, they and their parents are at the center of the emerging sex abuse scandal, a drama that was unimaginable at the time. After all, the priest was seen as God's representative on earth; the Church was believed to be incapable of harboring evil itself.And so a story known to us all these years later began to play out, featuring the power and influence of the Catholic Church, the belief that an abuser could be safely reassigned after being sent off to be cured, and then the Church's unparalleled effort to protect herself. The strange and unanticipated interaction between two families on Sycamore Drive provides the setting for the beginning of this story. It then grows to reveal a brilliant but eccentric neighbor, a courageous teacher at the school, a young priest who dares to look at signs that others ignore, and, of course, the clergy and church leaders who are either na簿ve or extremely irresponsible - or both. AUTHOR'S NOTEIt didn't need to be this way. I remember experiencing this thought back in 2002 when the explosive news was first reported in Boston about child sexual abuse within the Catholic Church. Many priests were implicated in the pedophilia scandal, but perhaps the most startling revelation was that the Church hierarchy had full knowledge. There was a cover-up at work. The news from Boston was the beginning point. Soon, similar revelations were occurring at different dioceses across the country. The cover-up was extensive. Initially, the Catholic Church used as their defense that the situation was merely the result of a few, disturbed priests and that efforts were underway to reign in the actions of these few. Future prevention efforts were not on the front burner. But as the news revealed widespread cases, and that many of the guilty priests were being transferred from parish to parish to avoid discovery, the Church went into a defensive mode. Some efforts were made to even suggest the cause of the abuse centered on homosexual involvement rather than pedophilia. The public relations' efforts on the part of the Church to minimize the damage continued.It was some time after that I decided to write Sycamore Drive. As a lifelong Catholic, I felt anger and disbelief at the actions of the Catholic hierarchy in trying to deal with the scandal in a less than straightforward manner. Church members were angry, and the lack of acceptance of responsibility was a major reason for this anger. In my hometown, I was aware of one such abusive priest who was linked to dozens of abused children. Ultimately, at his trial, it was revealed that he had been transferred to numerous different parishes through his years of abuse. These transfers occurred after his actions were reported to the Archbishop by irate parents. And in the case of this particular priest, he also revealed that he had told the local hierarchy of his guilt, and asked that he not be allowed to associate with children. His request was denied. There was no culpability, no acceptance of responsibility on the part of the hierarchy.

A Woman’s Strength
A woman from the beginning of time was a gift to man. In today's time we have been devalued, disrespected, and mistreated. Most have settled for the lies the devil has told. We are not what the rappers, women, etc say we are today. We are not the woman number 2, abused Ms. Lu, low self esteem teen, or the bitter baby momma. We are so much more. Life is a journey. And we all have one shot. To think that we could live life without guidance is a close minded decision. It is our season to hear a word from the lord, no more settling and its time we take up our bed. Our way could lead us into destruction. What do we have to lose by giving it all to God and trusting him to direct our steps?

Einsamkeit in der Ehe
Aus Angst vor der Ausweglosigkeit und dem "Nicht wahrhaben wollen" wird die Einsamkeit in Beziehungen allgemein erlitten, aber nicht aus - und angesprochen. Das Buch traut sich dieses weit verbreitete Ph瓣nomen mit Leichtigkeit und Humor zu thematisieren und bietet erprobte L繹sungswege.In vielen Beziehungen leiden die Partner an scheinbar unl繹sbaren und schmerzhaften, teilweise auch lautlosen Konflikten, die in einer leblosen Beziehung und in versteinerten Ritualen, dem gef羹rchteten Alltagstrott m羹nden. Verdrossenheit und Frustration f羹hren zu einer gef羹hlten Ausweglosigkeit, die wiederum zum erneuten Partnerwechsel, zur Suche nach Verst瓣ndnis au?erhalb der Beziehung oder zum Verharren in der Einsamkeit f羹hren. Dieses Buch erkl瓣rt, wie es zu dieser als normal erachteten Situation kommt und findet die Ursache dieses Verhaltens: Die seit vielen Generationen 羹bertragene "normale" Art der Schuldzuweisung und Bewertung untereinander und der damit erlernte unbewusste Umgang mit sich selbst. Es wird aufgezeigt, wie man Bewusstheit im Umgang mit sich selbst erfahren und somit vielleicht das erste Mal in seinem Leben einen liebevollen Umgang mit sich selber erleben kann. Das bef瓣higt den Leser sich selbst wahrzunehmen und volle Verantwortung f羹r seine Gef羹hle und Bed羹rfnisse anzunehmen. Die Frage nach Schuld und Schuldzuweisung, richtig und falsch, Recht oder Unrecht k繹nnen sich nun aufl繹sen. Durch den neuen Umgang mit sich selbst, durch die neue Klarheit 羹ber die Vorg瓣nge in sich k繹nnen sich der Druck und der z瓣he Klebstoff, die zur eingangs beschriebenen schmerzhaften Beziehungssituation f羹hren, aufl繹sen.
