#20 | The Power Of Confidence

January 20, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

We can’t say enough about the power of confidence.

Confidence makes you comfortable in your own skin, ready for whatever – and whomever – comes your way.

When you’re confident, you run to life, not away from life.

Approach this week with confidence – and see how much fun you have!

#19 | A Dream Come True

January 19, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

He was assassinated on April 4, 1968 – a mere 10 months after the Loving v. Virginia decision legalizing interracial marriage.

Today, more and more Black women are deciding to expand their dating and marriage option and include men of all races as viable prospects. As a result, many Black women are marrying quality men – for them, a dream come true.

Medicine, Life – And The British Man Who Stole My Heart

January 18, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

In Podcast Episode 052 we chatted with Sepia, author of interracial and multicultural romance novels. (Sepia also writes under the pen name B.B. Fortune).

Sepia spoke passionately about the rights of Black women to “have preferences” and to also “like who they like.”

In this episode, Co-Host Adrienne London Leach chats with Teria Ester, a Reflexologist, Quantum Touch Practitioner and Herbal Body Wrap Specialist who has a specific preference: British Men!

Teria and Adrienne discuss holistic medicine, life, love – and the Brit who stole Teria’s heart.

Teria is currently in the Delaware area. To contact Teria and learn more about her mobile reflexology services and other holistic health modalities, contact her at 704.957.2892.

#18 | What Do You Think?

January 18, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

So, what thoughts dominate your mind?

Do you consider yourself a “positive thinker,” or do you tend to view life from a more pessimistic view?

Sometimes we wonder why our lives veer along certain paths; why things don’t seem to go the way we want them to.

I dare say our “thought life” exerts a direct bearing on the level of success or failure we experience.

What do you think?

#15 | Life’s A Beach!

January 15, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Yesterday at noon here in the United States, the temperature in Lafayette, LA was 37° Fahrenheit. (The expected high was 46° F; I don’t think we reached it).

Chicago’s noon temperature was 16°, and with the wind chill it felt like 14°. And in Fairbanks, Alaska? A frigid 10°.

And yet, across the world at Cottesloe Beach near Perth, Western Australia, it was a balmy 72° F, and surfing enthusiasts could check the surf forecast.

For them right now, life’s a beach!

Now, close your eyes, and imagine the moon over Cottesloe Beach. Isn’t it time we did some traveling?

The inspiring Rosetta Thurman of Happy Black Woman just posted a feature article entitled, “Four Steps to Creating an Online Travel Vision Board.” I strongly advise you to check it out!

Let’s set up a board so we can get up and get out – I’d love to see the moon rise in another location, wouldn’t you?
