Blood means you’re RELATED, it doesn’t mean you’re FAMILY By Mel


What’s the definition of family?  According to Merriam-Webster dictionary it means a group of persons of common ancestry.  This affiliation is true however, just because you’re blood doesn’t mean you’re family.  My definition of family is a tight knit bond among groups of people who are very supportive, love you unconditionally, not judgmental and influence positive aspects in your life.  When you have the opposite side effect in a family, this causes an individual to become a Lone Wolf.  A Lone Wolf is one who does not allow anyone in their family to control their life.  One who has survival instincts in the world and is very responsible.  One who has pride and continues to improve their life on a daily basis.   When family members are negative this can cause a Lone Wolf to become stronger and not rely on their hypocritical blood affiliation.  I truly believe that Lone Wolves have the most amazing stories of overcoming challenging obstacles in their lives pertaining to negative treatment from their family members.  For example Charlize Theron who played in “Mad Max: Fury Road” overcame a difficult childhood which made her stronger to become a famous actress. Charlize’s father was an alcoholic who abused and cheated on her mother for years.   Her mother shot her father when he tried to attack her.  This left a permanent mark on her life based on the negative effect within her family.  However, on the universal scale a Lone Wolf like Charlize who experienced negative reaction from her family in the past transformed her current life into a positive experience.  In theory, Negative energy is devoured by Positive energy which creates an external confidence shield surrounding a Lone Wolf in any environment.  This aura attracts new affiliations with people who have common loving characteristics that a family should have.  When you have family members with unrelated common characteristics based on negative behavior keep your distance from them at ALL costs.  Here are some examples of negative family member’s characteristics.

Being Judgmental
1.     Family members who are quick to judge your flaws yet they have skeletons in their own closet is a nasty trait to have.  For example, they may judge your relationship knowing that you are going through ups/downs with your significant other and are quick to criticize you.  Even if you try to better your situation they are quick to put you down despite the fact they have been in worse relationships.   Remember, those who point their finger at you are pointing three fingers back on themselves. 

Being Hypocritical
2.     These are the two-tone face family members who smile in your face and stab you right behind your back.  This trait can cause a complete breakdown in the family structure because if a family member does not agree with your point of view then your personal information can be used as a weapon against you.  Long-term repercussions can occur and lives can be ruin.  Be mindful of these family members and love them at a distance.  Don’t feed into their drama.  Continue to be the best person you can be.

Single Fathers should get more exposure By Mel

Father! - To God himself we cannot give a holier name by William Wordsworth is such a powerful quote.   I would like to say single and non-residential fathers are portrayed in the media as irresponsible and non-supportive to their kids.   Well, I’m here to share with you through some research that it is not entirely true.   Even though single and non-residential fathers as a whole are an understudied group there’s still some truth that single and supportive non-residential fathers do exist.   Some fathers are working 2 part-time jobs and are unable to get government assistance.   The media rarely report positive fathers working 7 days a week with no days off, struggling paycheck to paycheck.    For myself as a non-residential father, I still support my daughter in every aspect, however the role of a father is never recognize or acknowledge for my continuous involvement.   ·          A Non-resident...

Attack of the Clones, Brothers Be Yourself By Mel

Yes, this is very true.   Brothers who violate this rule prove that they are insecure within themselves.   They worry about what the next brother is wearing, how much money he makes, what kind of car he drives, etc.   Meanwhile their mind is fixated on you and wonders why your format is not the same as theirs.   Why are you not following the latest trend in fashion?   Why are you not driving the latest car?   This makes me sick to my stomach.   If you come across one of these “ Clones ” do not panic, get nervous or be embarrassed.   Instead their opinion of you should be irrelevant because deep down inside they wish they WERE you. Let me explain, a “ Clone ” is a person who does not have a mind of their own. Within this cultural landscape he will follow his flock of sheep and they are not hard to find.   Just go to the latest club, take a walk downtown or even look out your window. For example, Little Trey may wear skinny jeans with his...

No Love in the Club The 90/10 Rule By Vaughn James

If you’re in your mid 30’s or just turned 40, you shouldn’t be in the club every weekend. Guys, you seriously don’t want to be the sleazy old man in the club. And ladies, you shouldn’t be out getting your drink on, leaving your fourteen year old teenager to watch your younger kids. The fact is, even when we were all young, the chances that men and women could find a meaning full relationship in a club was next to zero, but closer to 5%. “Wait a minute”, you may ask, “how can that be quantified?” I’ll explain. Simply, when we go out to the clubs, 90% of the men are trying to get with 10% of the women and 90% of the women are trying to get with 10% of the men. So, the likelihood that there will be any kind of real hookup is 5%, half of 10%. Besides, the club is a terrible place to meet someone. They are overly hyped by the radio station and promoters, who make it seem like your life will end if you don’t go to their club Friday and Saturday nights. Additionally, the mixed alco...
