Word of the Day: Faith

Father’s Day is a day that I don’t really remember. You know I like to remember stories from my childhood, but in this case I’m drawing a blank. I’m not sure how my mom helped us pass the day. I do know that even though my daddy wasn’t the ever-present father, it was a rare occasion that my mother ever spoke negatively of him. And, she often shared how happy they were through her silly stories of their times together. He was the love of her life.

As I sit here today in the vestibule of the church I decided I would try writing a blog post from the phone application again. I’ve been visiting a different church over recent months and the Reverend just doesn’t move me like my Pastor Parker.

I started to cry when I wrote about the letter “F”. Epiphany’s aren’t always grand. They can actually suck.

The whole remembering thing both intrigues me and alludes me. I remembered to buy Father’s Day cards, but didn’t get them in the mail in time. That’s the norm for me though. I do the same with Mother’s Day, birthdays and the like. I have a theory to support why I struggle with this, but as we bloggers often say, “That’s another post…”

Happy Father’s Day everyone. I hope you enjoy the time with someone who is significant to you even if that means some good quality with yourself. I’m going to make sure I don’t forget to at least make some calls today. Yes, I even forget to call on some holidays. I have faith :-) that I will succeed today. It’s through faith that true confidence is born and continues to shine through.

Much love,

Mel

If you don’t know… it’s so much more than the physical

Yesterday I was honored to be a part of @maxfab‘s 10 questions on Tuesday. If you missed it, please be sure to check it out now.

I have to admit and I also told Max the same, that I would do my best to answer the questions staying true to my evasive nature. When it comes to sex or more specifically “my sexual preferences discussed publicly on the internet,” most are just not going to be satisfied. There would be no earth-shattering admissions on my part.

I’ve been through this exercise repeatedly as I’ve written for relationship sites in the past and on numerous occasions men have “gone in” in an attempt to find out my sexual likes and dislikes, what steps are needed to make me wet, the specifics of what I do with my man, etc. Inevitably, it got to the point that if dropped a comment on a blog that had anything to do with sex, I felt like one of the boys from the movie “Stand By Me”.

LEECHES!!!!

Anyway, I didn’t feel that way yesterday. It was pretty calm. There was only one gentleman who stated that I “def holding cards tight to the vest”. I can’t argue with that though,  I do. But you know in my regular fashion, the day got me to thinking. Continue reading

Word of the Day: Disgruntled

Dis is actually a word. I thought it was just slang. I’d never thought about it before, but I checked and it is an actual word.

I looked up a couple of words today to write about. Frustrated, lurid and mood all were researched, but I found the etymology of disgruntled to be the most interesting. Not really sure how lurid became part of the process, but it popped up in there while I was reading something.

Shout out to @DrJayJack and I wish him much success with his new book. Everyone should check it out – 17th & K Street: Deluxe Version (Free Download). If you click here… you can download everything that he released with his book (podcasts and mixtape). Oh and that’s also his personal blog, so feel free to explore. Now, if I was to list every other affiliation of his we would be here all day and I need to move on to the letter “G”. Continue reading
