Bringing The Hot Sauce – And Bringing The Love!

April 12, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

You’re in charge of the hot sauce – what do you bring??

Fresh from a guest appearance on the Steve Harvey Show, Daniel and Patrice Love of “The Detroit Loves” chatted with Adrienne and me about life, love, interracial marriage – and hot sauce!

Needless to say, this couple is hot – and they’re definitely in love! (Yes, puns intended)

They Need Hot Sauce – And You Brought What?!

Here’s the segment from the Steve Harvey Show:

Love Culture

Daniel and Patrice are passionate about their love for each other.

They’re also passionate about diversity and enjoy seeing the rise in the number of Black Women/White Men interracial couples.

In addition to sharing their “how we met” story, Patrice shares advice specifically targeting Black Women and Daniel does the same for White Men.

This conversation is a fun and lively as the couple themselves – enjoy!

Get In On The Fun – Join Us For Vetting 101!

April 7, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

So, the “April’s Fools” post was extremely popular.

Our meme advised a truth from Joey Adams: “Never let a fool kiss you – or a kiss fool you!”

I thought about the quote and realized there are only a couple of ways we can be assured of not kissing a fool: either we don’t kiss at all, or we vet.

Vet – That’s It!

Thus was born the series I’m doing in the month of April entitled, “Vetting 101.”

So what’s vetting, you ask?

Vetting means “to appraise, verify or check for accuracy, authenticity or validity.”

Possessing and exercising good vetting skills is essential for experiencing dating success.

Want to be kissed by a fool? Don’t vet.

Want to kiss a fool? Don’t vet.

Needless to say, the members of Swirl Nation are not about that foolish life, so if we don’t know how to vet properly, we will learn.

We will learn – and we will apply what we learn!

Join Me For Vetting 101

So consider this your open invitation to join me every weekday during the month of April, when I hop on Facebook Live and on Periscope to share what I trust will be useful information on how to vet properly.

Here’s the Facebook Live video from Day 3:

A Wonderful World

March 25, 2016 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

“We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.”

~Jawaharlal Nehru, 1st Prime Minister Of India

It’s “Travel Thursday” and we want to inspire you to not just dream about taking a trip or going on vacation this year, but actually do it.

Need some additional inspiration? Click here to listen to a podcast with Dating Coach Lorraine Spencer of Interracial Marriage & Family concerning the importance of traveling.

This year, make sure you have your eyes wide open for opportunities to save money for a trip.

Sure, a new handbag, shoes or jewelry is a great pick-me-up. However, the newness will eventually wear off and those items will become old.

But think about it – the sense of adventure, joys and well-being gained from travel will last forever.

This year, let’s TRAVEL!

You Brought The Sunshine!

“Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”

~James M. Barrie

What do you bring into the lives of the people moving within your everyday environment?

Does your mere approach bring doom and gloom – or are you known and loved as the one who brought the sunshine?

Today, let’s all make a conscious decision to bring the sunshine to everyone we meet.

We’ll keep the negative words and the negative vibes at bay. Instead, focus on being a positive force. How ‘bout you go about shining some much-needed light on every person coming within your individual circles of influence?

They’ll enjoy the light – and so will you.

You brought the sunshine!

Want to know who to fall in love with?

Fall in love with someone who’s comfortable with your silence.

Find someone who doesn’t need your words to know it’s time to kiss you.

Chassitie and Josh Thornton did just that – and you’ll never guess where they met!
