by Harriet Hairston I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately.  More accurately, a lot of self-checking lately.  I think it’s important to always take a good look in the mirror–even if you have to do so on a daily basis–and do a self inventory of what you can do better to love, support [...]

by Tara Pringle Jefferson Last week, in my “Marriage Counseling…for One?” article, I said that I had a good marriage, a strong marriage, but I still wanted to improve it. I still wanted us to take some steps to improve areas that I thought were lacking. A few commenters gave me something to chew on. [...]

By Ayanna Black Jamie Foxx definitely hit the mark with that song! As I look at pictures of myself before the triplets, I remember not having to wear body shapes or thinking if that outfit will flatter my new belly.  Lots of people tell me I don’t look like I have triplets. However, as many [...]

Sometimes…just sometimes, I open my mouth and find a way to put my foot in it.  Colloquially, putting your foot in places like the food you cook is a good thing.  Putting it in your mouth is a bad, bad thing.  Lately, for some reason, my mouth has tasted every bit of the terrain I’ve [...]

by Tara Pringle Jefferson I consider my marriage a strong one. We generally get along, we love each other, we rarely argue, we go on dates when we can. 80% of the time, we’re like Will and Jada (or Lamar and Ronnie…LOL!). But then there are the weeks where he’s working late, our sex life [...]

Mo’Nique caught a lot of flack for saying that if her husband cheated, it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Well, let me not put words in the woman’s mouth – here’s a quote from a 2007 New York Times interview: “‘We have an agreement that we’ll always be honest,” Mo’Nique said of the year-old marriage. ”And if sex happens with [...]
