#30 | A Beautiful Life

January 30, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Their megawatt smiles say it ALL.

This is what happens when you choose character and compatibility over superficial factors that are limiting and keep you boxed in.

Want a beautiful life? Expand your dating and marriage options – and keep an open mind!

There are few things that laughter, playing around and having fun won’t cure.

It’s the weekend.

Release your inner child.

Go out and have some fun!

#23 | The Safety And Joy Of Love

January 23, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Yesterday our fellow podcaster Lavinia celebrated 10 years of matrimony with her husband Jay, the love of her life.

Her sweet words to him:

Swirling winds and inches, then feet of snow fell around the little church where we stood together and promised to love, honor and cherish each from that day forward. And for 10 years, when the rest of the world around us is crazy and hateful, we continue to find safety and joy in each other’s arms and love. Happy Anniversary, Jay.

For all the scoffers and naysayers who would try to dissuade Black women from expanding their dating and marriage options to find love and longevity in their relationships, please have a seat.

Happy Anniversary, Lavinia and Jay!

#12 | Relationships Are What We DO

January 12, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Today’s quote specifically mentions marriage, yet we believe the concept is applicable to any relationship:

Friendship is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.

Sisterhood is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.

Partnership is not a noun; it’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do.

Relationships: It’s what we do!

I Found Love In Macedonia!

November 5, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 3 Comments

We won’t go so far as to say it will happen to everyone, but we WILL say that you’re bound to find more than you bargain for – and we mean that in a good way – when you venture out past your own front door.

South Carolina native Paula Cooper Trajkovski (TRY-KOV-SKI) decided to step out past her front door (the United States) to broaden her horizons.

Busily employed and working on a Master’s Degree, Paula wasn’t expecting to find love – especially not INTERRACIAL love. Instead, she says, “I found it all: I found love, work and fulfillment – in Macedonia!

She met her husband Bojan Trajkovski (BOY-YUN TRY-KOV-SKI) in 2009 while working as a contractor in Baghdad Iraq.

Bojan is Macedonian (you’re gonna LOVE his accent!).

The two married in Dubrovnik, Croatia in July 2012.

Paula and Bojan now live in Skopje, Macedonia.

They are expecting a son this December (around the 13^th).

WOOT!

Paula and her husband chatted with The Swirl World Podcast Co-Host Adrienne London Leach and discussed how they met and married.

You can listen to the podcast on Sound Cloud by clicking here.

Paula is currently trying to launch a small online boutique where she hopes to use it within a year after her launch to help women in need. She has also completed her 14-year duty in the Army Reserves May of 2014.

Here in The Swirl World, we’re all about Black women living and loving well.

Right now, Paula is just soaking it all in.

She never thought that this is the path that life would lead her too, but it’s working out and she is enjoying the ride.

Gotta love it!

I’m Putting All The Ratchet Video Junkies on Blast!

October 30, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Because, well, it’s Halloween. And ratchet videos suck. IJS

Are you guilty of watching and sharing ratchet videos on social media??

Do you have TMZ bookmarked in all your web browsers?

Seriously, what’s that about?

If you do it, you should be able to explain it.

Yeah, I’m venting. And ranting.

Got an answer for me?

My name is Michelle Matthews Calloway, and I thoroughly approve this podcast.
