After a separation and divorce, I was feeling that I must do something to heal. My fear of becoming one of those angry black women scared me because I was one before and I didn't like myself.
Writing had always been a passion and addiction of mine and it brought me great relief when I wrote fiction because I was a suspense-romance/sensual noir author already. So I decided to use my gift to relieve the stress in my heart over leaving my marriage in order to be happy.
I wasn't regretful for leaving my marriage. I was upset at myself for failing and I wanted marriage again, but the next time i wanted it to last.
So I decided to start my blog, more for a guide book for myself than anything and when friends and family began to come and comment, it was enjoyable to hear that I wasn't as crazy as I thought I was.
Soon men started emailing me offline and asking me my thoughts on different things and how I felt about different things women did. Instead of answering them privately, I answered them on the blog.
Through my healing process, I found great relationship books and did reviews on those.
Now this blog has become what I wanted it to become. A guidebook on what it takes to love me and then I have friends join in or post their comments as well and contribute to the discussion they provide.
I wanted to create a way for people to talk about what we don't talk about - communication and intimacy. These are important to me and it should be important to many people especially in the African American Community that refuses to acknowledge this is an important part of a relationship.
Whether who finds me to marry, I know that in order to love me and love who I am they are going to have to read my blog and I hope that a deeper understanding of the complex woman comes to them and they can love me even more.
