What kind of love?
What kind of love is it that can only commence based on his paycheck?
Is that the kind of love you want to have?
A love where what you have, what you have somehow accomplished is more important than your desire for affection, for sharing, for loving?
Degree loved or loved passionately, completely?
Isn’t it most important that he is there instead of building something that has nothing to do with you and him?
Does he have to meet a list of wants?
The kind of wants that limit the real gifts he can offer a union?
Why can’t he be enough?
I was overwhelmed with sadness as over and over I argued love and trust and true commitment to perceptions, opinions and judgments. I made a case for one and two coming together in the name of love instead of convenience and financial status.
Where did we go wrong? When did marriage become an opportunity instead of a commitment, a promise?
I am not married right now. I am 30 something and not married and I have a pledge for you… I will not limit the limitless possibilities of love in my life. Intimacy will be accepted on all levels because I believe that what you have to offer me is important. You are worthy and I will love all of your offerings to me.

My sistah, I am so moved by your musings on telling the truth. It touched my heart and made me smile. You know why? Because they're my feelings too. Not precisely all the specific truths, though some are right on target. ~smile~ And hell to the naw.. ~LOL~ I'm not dishing cause' I KNOW I can't take it. I'm definitely a sensitive sistah and don't want to shed the tears that are sure to come when someone tells me about myself. ~smile~
Thanks for sharing with us. I came across your web site in one of the dread lock groups I belong to, and I'm glad I did. You definitely have a career as a writer in your future. I'd buy your book. The other piece of yours I really enjoyed was the one on Being A Cheap Cookie. Had some problems along that line, as well. But, I accept your offer to NOT BE a cheap cookie.
If I have your permission, I'd like to share your thoughts for today with a few friends. I will give you credit, as the author,per your instructions. I'll understand if you say no.
Keep up the good work, my young sistah. I'm proud of you. And good luck with your running. You've made the most important step.. starting!
Be blessed,
Sue Ann Smith
