You see, we love love.

We especially love to see the love expressed in interracial unions – depicting images of real couples who say to each other, “You’re the best part of me.”

If you’re looking for “a rest from the mess” and the uplifting joy of interracial love, you’ll find it in The Swirl World.

With all the turmoil and unrest throughout the world, happiness is something you sometimes have to strive to attain – or maintain.

#107| Make It Worth Their While

April 17, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

People often think of fine jewels, looking good and making a statement when they read Harry Winston’s quote, “People will stare. Make it worth their while.”

We certainly understand and can relate to Harry’s point – we like to look good whenever we step out.

Even so, we believe other ways exist to make it “worth someone’s while” to look at us.

Things like seeing our radiant smiles and happy faces.

Seeing that we are determined to prosper and be successful – in every arena of life.

So, the next time someone stares at you, don’t let them down.

Make it worth their while!

#104| Can We Talk?

April 14, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

“Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.”

~Oscar Wilde

I believe longevity in relationships derives from a conversation that never ends.

So, can we talk?

Today’s featured couple, Tom and Alida Sharp, live in Belize. They met in high school when Tom “shoved an Oreo® cookie in her mouth!”

They have been married for almost 33 years.

To listen to the story of that Oreo cookie, click here. To learn more about their life in Belize, click here.

We featured Masoud, Sylvia and their beautiful Swirl family on our Facebook page and in a past blog post and the response was phenomenal.

Swirling, Southern Style!

April 6, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Here at The Swirl World we receive a number of emails and Facebook in-boxes, and we’re thankful for the positive feedback we receive.

Our emails come from men and women who appreciate our upbeat, positive take on interracial dating and marriage, aka Swirling.

One of our fans, Rod, a White man happily married to a Black woman and living in Birmingham, AL, reached out to us.

He wanted to share his perspective on swirling in Birmingham, AL – a place many of us may not associate in a positive way with interracial relationships.

In this special Men’s Edition Podcast, Rod talked to Adrienne and me about “Swirling, Southern Style,” and shared with us about life and love in Birmingham – a Southern city with a storied civil rights history.

Rod also debunks the myth of the “shy guy” and shares a unique tip on a place non-Black men can go to meet Black women.

Enjoy!

Babies are such a nice way to start people.

We think so, too!

Kambrey and Kaelie are first cousins living in Lafayette, LA. They are so gorgeous and adorable!

Tammy, their Grandmother, calls them “Bayou Bébés.”

We’ll be featuring more photos of Kam and Kae, so stay tuned.

#91| True Security

April 1, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

“There’s nothing that makes you more insane than family. Or more happy. Or more exasperated.

Or more… secure.” ~Jim Butcher

In today’s crazy, mixed up world, few things lend more security – more true security – than being part of a strong family unit.

#TeamFamily!

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