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

~Jawaharial Nehru

Indeed, we live in a wonderful world.

Get out there and see some of it!

#147| Love Makes The Ride Worthwhile

May 27, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

We’ve always heard “Love makes the world go ‘round,” but is that statement true?

Seems to me the world goes ‘round with or without love.

With all the disappointments and oftentimes-shady events life often offers, I have to agree with Elizabeth Browning.

“Love doesn’t make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile.”

Whether your love is for another human being or simply for the ideals, abilities or events you’re passionate about, we’re all riding through this thing called life.

Love makes the ride worthwhile.

Why You Shouldn’t Get Too Intimate Too Quickly

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

It’s been said ~~a million times~~ ~~over and over~~ again and again, yet this admonition bears repeating:

“Don’t get too intimate too quickly!”

Call us old-fashioned if you want to, yet we’ve seen too many times the end result of what happens when this advice is ignored.

In this Unscripted episode, Gynger Fyer, Adrienne Leach and I chat about a variety of topics: Closure, Stalking, Baby Mamas – and why women shouldn’t get too intimate too quickly.

We also discuss the importance of women possessing a strong sense of personal self-worth.

#135| A Story To Tell

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

I believe in love. I believe in good stories. I play really hard on the weekends because I like to have those stories. My wife and I go off and do craziness all the time. We’re just like, ‘What can we go get into this weekend?’ Then we have other ones where we just sit and do nothing and then we have work that we do. It’s all memories.

~Channing Tatum

It’s Friday, which means the weekend is about to launch!

Whether you’re solo, part of a duo or have a family in tow, get out there and make some memories – and you’ll have a story to tell.

A Match Made In Sierra Leone And Beijing!

May 13, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Sierra Leone native Neneh Ada Yang met her husband, renowned Chinese artist Yang Yan of Beijing, when he came to her country specifically looking for a BLACK woman to marry.

Within one week of meeting, they were married!

Yes.

Within. One. Week!

Note: This can happen when both persons:

Know themselves
Know what they want/don’t want in a mate.

Neneh has been featured in news articles too numerous to count. She was profiled by Lorraine Spencer on the Interracial Marriage and Family website in an article entitled, “China’s Black First Lady.”

Lorraine writes, “Neneh and her husband Yan are celebrities in China and of course she is loved in her home of Sierra Leone. Neneh’s foundation provided thousands of Ebola resistant, protective wear for healthcare workers and citizens.

Neneh has become fluent in Chinese since she lives in China. Her husband taught her art and now she has her own exhibitions as does her husband in various countries. Neneh also plays a rare instrument; a guqin, one of only a few in the world who mastered it in China.

She is a philanthropist and most importantly wife and mommy.”

To read the full article Lorraine wrote about Neneh (and to see more stunning photographs and a video), click here.
