📖To read aloud🗣️

You've been hovering around my house,

I, minding my business on the couch,

Like an annoying fly, just wanna hit it...

I KNOW WHY THE BROTHA' DID IT...

You see, recently on the TV

Like an episode from BET

On a white man's award show,

Will WISHED he'd hid it...

But I know why the brotha did it...

Because just like Mr. Rock that day,

With his stupid laugh and spray-on toupee,

Mister you got ONE MORE TIME,

To push my limits..

Yo, I KNOW why the brotha did it...

You see, my wife used to have a friend...

Who fancied himself a comedian,

Speaking on my wife's name,

Under belts he did hit...

Shit... I KNOW why the brotha did it!!!

And for years I've been the bigger man,

Just held my tongue and my wife's hand,

Until you took this shit to Twitter,

And I FELT WHY my brotha' did it...

They say actions speak louder than words,

What about the ACTION of speaking words absurd?

When over the years can you speak "bitch shit"

And expect a brotha NOT to get hit?

So... My brotha' understand.

I'm from the old school, I'm a classic man...

And if you come for mine, you're bound to get it...

And you would rather Will Smith did it...

LOVE Letters | He Is My HERO | How To Find Your Soulmate

I had the pleasure of engaging in a very spiritual conversation with an older lady friend of mine... (For purposes of anonymity; we will call her Beth) Miss Beth was in her 60s, but didn't look a day over 50 and was quite an inspiring woman... Like many other women of her generation; Miss Beth had ONE lover... ONE husband... She’d been married for 30 some-odd years... She was quite the christian, god-fearing woman... The kind that would give to a beggar on the street... She took in many children from abusive and neglectful families... (Truly Miss Beth, I will see you in Heaven one day sister... For God DEFINITELY has a place for you in his kingdom...) More than anything... I remember most how she was still VERY much in love with her husband... I’d thought it the most romantic and beautiful thing I have ever seen; as I reflect on her saying to me... "He is my Hero" Smiling.... ————————————————————— Now, as beautiful as this story is to hear... Even more bea

Is It Over? How to heal past PAINFUL MOMENTS in marriage.

Press play to listen to the audio-blog Hello fam-lei! I come to you today a bit more sullen than usual... If anyone is out there reading these blogs, please pray for me... Sometimes marriage isn't just hard, it's downright TOXIC-feeling. There are these "make or break" moments that you will come to that will test every shred of patience, loyalty and FAITH in God that you possess... Times where you begin to wonder if the other person is the same person you said I DO to at all... Times where you have to LITERALLY weigh the good and the bad and make a hard decision... Do I stay or do I go? I thought that I knew what my breaking point was... The point in which I would say AUTOMATICALLY "I would leave if they did this ________ no questions asked." But I suppose when "unconditional love" is a factor in your boundaries; your boundary lines change and the saying "Love knows no bounds" starts sounding like less of a fairyta

Girl, This Thing is WORK!

Press play to listen to the audio-blog Day to day, we will clock in and clock out begrudgingly to a job that pays us less than we deserve... We do it faithfully... It's called going to WORK. Hey fam-lei!!! Lady XO here! 👋 I know we've all heard the unromantic saying that "marriage is work" but have you ever REALLY it thought about it like a duty? It's our DUTY to strive to be good spouses, parents, brothers, sisters, etc. But do you WORK on your relationships? Think about it... We will smile in the faces of our @$$hole co-workers and listen to every word our bosses tell us; and for most of us... We do it WITHOUT hesitation or argumentation. Because we VALUE our job and want to keep it! But... Then we go home and think all of our WORK is done... As if the title you hold at your job is the ONLY hat you wear... But no... We have families and relationships outside of our jobs that take a considerable amount more WORK than our 9-5's and
