“The Truth & The Myth About Praying For A Mate” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Truth and myth

Sometimes I think women believe my book is a “How too” on walking down that aisle to the altar with the man of their dreams, when in all actuality most of my readers and followers already know, “Conversations Of A Sistah” is my autobiography based on a true story.

In recent events, conversations and correspondence I’ve received, a lot of women have posed the same question to me: “What is the Truth And The Myth About Praying For A Mate?“ Some are curious to know, while others are not praying for anyone to begin with, they’re just rolling with the flow and allowing the events of their courtship’s to lead them. In my opinion that’s equivalent to living life wearing a blind fold.

aa-woman-prayingDon’t get me wrong, some individuals never pray to God period let alone for a mate and end up uniting with great partners, having successful marriages and fulfilling relationships. They allow their love and faith in each other to guide them. While those of us who are cautious, apprehensive or seeking surety based on bad past experiences turn to prayer in God for guidance.

This show is NOT another discussion about the book “Conversations Of A Sistah” but a break down and answers to the pressing question which seems to follow me “What is the Truth And The Myth About Praying For A Mate?”

So tune in with expectation tonight, November 20th at 8:00 PM to “Conversations Of A Sistah” on “Conversations Live” as I answer such pressing questions regarding the sub title of my book.

“Stand Your Ground”… is this law racially motivated? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Stand-Your-Ground-Law

Many states have enacted “stand your ground” laws that remove the duty to retreat before using deadly force in self-defense.

A substantial minority of states have laws imposing a duty to retreat, with some important variations. In general, a duty to retreat means that you are not allowed to resort to deadly force in self-defense if it is possible to safely avoid the risk of harm or death (by running away, for example). If that is not an option and you were cornered or pinned down and facing serious harm, then you could be authorized to use deadly force in self-defense.

This was George Zimmerman’s claim in the Trayvon Martin case, he created a fabricated LIE to justify him using deadly force in killing the unarmed teen. This made the “Stand Your Ground” law a central part of the Trayvon Martin controversy. Zimmerman claimed Trayvon Martin pinned him down to the ground, while pounding his head on the pavement, leaving him no other option but to use his weapon in self-defense.

Civil rights groups have said the killing of McBride, who is black, is an example of racial profiling. They have said the circumstances surrounding her death are similar to the murder of Trayvon Martin.

There are 24 states that have stand your ground laws. 24. That is almost half of all states, and that’s frightening. Additionally, the majority of victims in Florida “Stand Your Ground” cases  have been white.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as we take a look at this law and the alarming cases of “Stand your ground”.

Bride Mimics Gruesome Wedding Cake

Gruesome wedding cake

Natalie Siderserf of Sideserf Cake Studio in Austin, Texas, designed the cake for her upcoming marriage to her fiancé, Dave. She said the female severed head depicts her, while the male head depicts Dave.

“We were watching a horror movie, and I was always interested in sculpting lifelike cakes, especially in the face, so I thought, ‘How neat would it be if I did our severed heads?’” Sideserf said. “And Dave was like, ‘That would be amazing.’”

She said the rainbow confetti vanilla-flavored cakes in pools of blood took around 40 hours to make. The lifelike heads were finished with vanilla butter cream frosting and chocolate.

The heads were served on a white board. Their dead eyes seemingly staring at the words ‘Till Death Do Us Part’.

Talk about extreme, this takes the cake!!

Conversations Of A Sistah

‘How desperate are you for a ring?’ Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

300 sandwiches

Let’s face it, a lot of women dream of being married even if the fantasy is all about the ring and a fairytale ceremony. Some women can’t live without a man and can’t fathom life without a significant other.

Like for example, Stephanie Smith (pictured w/her boyfriend above), who is making headlines in the blogoshphere for pressuring her white boyfriend into proposing to her. And because Stephanie’s boyfriend loves sandwiches, he told her “Honey, you’re 300 sandwiches away from an engagement ring!”.

Stephanie’s boyfriend is a gourmet cook and loved the first sandwich she ever made for him so much so that he declared, when he gets 300 sandwiches from her, she’ll get her engagement ring. Therefore, Stephanie promised to make 300 sandwiches for her boyfriend Eric if he will put a ring on her finger, so she’s going for it.

Does Stephanie’s stunt reek of desperation? Is Eric’s love for Stephanie not enough to put a ring on it?

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as we discuss “How desperate are you for a ring?”
