Can I get some whine with my government cheese? By Vaughn James

On the eve of the next national election, I would like to emphasize the importance of voting.  Now I don’t write this to scrutinize the life choices many of us that are lower income.  Everyone at some time in their life will need a help up. I am old enough to know what government cheese and free lunch is. But instead, to highlight a discouraging trend. The trend is folks who need to vote, do it the least and complain the most. So, let me explain. If you receive section 8, food stamps, WIC, housing, job training, Medicare, VA benefits, free lunch for your kids, etc., you should be voting on Nov, 4th. If we don’t vote in mass, the other party will be taking over and they are not the biggest fans of social programs.  In 2008, we voted in record numbers to elect the first black President. We let him down in 2010 when many of us stayed home and allowed the Tea Party to make his presidency hell. If you don’t vote this election, many of the programs that you and your family rely on will be reduced or eliminated. Many have died and suffered to give you the opportunity to vote. PLEASE GO TO THE POLLS.

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

  Life is full surprises.   When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you.   That oil to your engine is confidence .   Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life.   That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why.   The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura.   It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you.   We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory.   For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo.   Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share som...

Self-Reflect and Accept Change By Mel

I NEVER understand why people are so desperate to get into a relationship without focusing on themselves.   Cuffing season has become the new norm in today's dating age and no wonder why there are so many incomplete relationships.   Shortcomings are bound to happen when you put in shortcoming efforts which equals shortcoming results...it's not rocket science.  When people market themselves in a particular way by showing their romantic side or being independent it is completely opposite when they are in a relationship.  For example, they unleash their bag of unlucky charms which cursed them from their last relationship hoping that their significant other will accept them.  Nine out of 10 that rarely happens and I will explain why.  Deceitful people brush their advertising promos underneath the rug and show who they truly are with nasty characteristic traits like clinginess, non-trustworthy ways and possessiveness.  By not practicing what you ...

False Advertising By Mel

  Sometimes when we come across someone who we are extremely attracted to we subconsciously do not reveal who we truly are.  This is what I call " False Advertising " which means pretending to be someone else to appeal to a person who you are attracted to.   This all goes back to low-confidence because most men who discover to their own delight that if a beautiful female shows a little bit of friendliness he assumes that she is highly attracted to him.   With no rapport building to see if they have some sort of emotional connection he then abandons his self-identity just to please her.  This is where he gives his power away based alone on visual aspect without this woman even putting minimal effort in to show she is interested in him. Little Trey's logical mind instantly goes into character mode.  For example, he begins to text her non-stop with little to no feedback or purchasing expensive flowers every day delivered to her job.   Sadly, this t...
