Posted March 17, 2010 | 15:03:59 (EST)

Ladies, are some of us disrespecting ourselves? I'm trying to understand the logic, but maybe I need a good explanation.

I was watching the news yesterday and heard about a young lady who was taking her fiancé to court for domestic violence. She was all up in the courthouse...

When we look into the eyes of a newborn baby, caress their tiny little hands, kiss their soft smooth forehead and inhale their light baby scent, we think, how precious.

Oh Precious Life

Life: Appreciate it as much as you can. Tomorrow is not promised. Love each other and please learn to forgive those who have wronged you. Honestly, it's not that important to hold on to hurts of the past. Not only will it not accomplish anything, but it's also not mentally...
