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

With all the grief, rage and bad news running rampant in the world, who doesn’t need more joy?

Who doesn’t need more news of people who are succeeding and doing well?

We do!

We need more positivity; news and images that are uplifting to the spirit and psyche.

We need more laughter – and we need more love.

Today, spread your brand of love and laughter.

Make someone smile, and leave them the better for having come in contact with you.

Inspiration Daily – Day Three

January 3, 2015 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

As the holiday season draws to a close, many of us are slowly easing back into our normal routines. If they haven’t already, family members who live in other cities and states will return this weekend.

Though we may draw physically closer during the holidays, we have the wonderful privilege of keeping our family close – and thus always present – in our hearts.

When Family Does You Wrong

July 28, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Has a member of your family ever done you wrong?

I’m talking about wrong.

When the incident occurred, did other family members try to act like YOU were the problem?

Lorraine Spencer, Interracial Blogging Pioneer, Dating Coach and self-described “Information Broker,” rejoins Adrienne and me to discuss her new book, When Family Does You Wrong.

Lorraine shares the riveting story of how she and her family lost their home and possessions, and were forced to start over – all as the result of being deceived by a family member.

Lorraine is the publisher of the Swirling and Marriage blog and posts articles on Beyond Black & White under the name “Swirl Queen.”

We appreciate Lorraine’s willingness to be so transparent. Adrienne and I have both read the book and we highly recommend it.

It’s Never Too Late For Love!

July 4, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 1 Comment

See this gorgeous couple right here?

No, they’re not 20-something, 30-something or even 40-something, but thanks to the fact that love has no age limit, they are living life to the fullest and enjoying a vibrant relationship with each other.

We first heard from Mr. Dakota and Mrs. Mary Ellen Danuser back in March of this year. Mary Ellen contacted us on our Facebook page and had this to say:

“I would like to add a picture on this page of my husband and I. We will have been married 13 years this coming April 13th and together for 18 years. He is my rock and definitely treats me with respect and dignity. We met at a Financial Company called Primerica. We are very committed to each other and are pretty much inseparable. I wanted to submit our picture and story because I seldom see older Swirlers portrayed on your page. I am in the process of writing a book about Interracial Relationships of all races.”

You know what? Mary Ellen was right: Much ado is made of younger Swirl couples. She wasn’t “hating,” she was pointing out a simple truth.

Thankfully, even though the majority of the photos we posted were of much younger couples, the fact remains that men and women of ALL ages are Swirling!

Mary Ellen wants Black Women to know that regardless of their age or place in life (she was divorced with grown children) meeting a quality man is very possible. Dakota, a retired Marine, shares his perspective on life as a White man married to a Black woman.

Mary Ellen and her husband Dakota are living proof.

Age really is just a number. It’s never too late for love!

Listen to the Danuser’s story and gain inspiration. (Find out who made the first move – you’ll be surprised!)

We can’t wait until Mary Ellen’s book is published!

“I Love Black Women!”

June 19, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Adrienne and I enjoyed a great conversation with Mark Custard, a White guy who proudly proclaims, “I love Black women!”

Mark’s a native of Buffalo, NY and has dated Black women almost exclusively since 9^th grade.

He makes some interesting observations – namely, that in his first interracial relationship he didn’t care or pay any attention to the ethnicity of his girlfriend – what he enjoyed was all about how much fun they had and how she made him feel.

Give the podcast a listen.

Good news:

Mark is joining The Swirl World team with a new column, “On Another Note.” He’s also going to join us on some upcoming podcast episodes. Woot! Woot!

This Girl Is On FIRE – Gynger Fyer!

June 16, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway 2 Comments

She’s Hott!

This girl is on Fire!!!!

Gynger Fyer, that is!

The Swirl World was smoking hot in Podcast 006 because our guest was none other than:

Gynger Fyer, The Romance Arsonist.

You ~~heard~~ read right: Gynger Fyer, The Romance Arsonist..

Gynger is an interracial romance author – and not just any old interracial romance: Gynger writes erotic interracial romance novels.

Imma let that marinate.

Mmm hmmm.

Ahem.

Here’s a little more on Gynger:

Gynger Fyer (pronounced Ginger Fire) prides herself on writing stories as unique, spicy and fiery as her name. An avid reader and fan of interracial romance and erotic fiction, she now has the pleasure of writing entertaining stories about love, romance, and relationships.

Gynger loves to explore the endless possibilities and outcomes of her characters meeting and falling in love. For her, it all starts with one question…”WHAT IF?”

“What if?” indeed!

Gynger just released a new book: Under The Bayou Moon. It’s her first paranormal interracial romance and she tells us all about it in the podcast.

~~Don’t tell my Mama~~ I have it all loaded and ready to read on my Kindle rat nah . . . . yeah, baby!

Chatting with Gynger was an absolute blast. She’s warm, witty and so very personable.

(Just so you know, Gynger was so much fun, she’s coming back for another episode on a different topic! Stay tuned.)

If you’ve been wanting to write romance novels and don’t have a clue about how to begin, then listen up because Gynger gives the steps she took. She also tells us her secret to “finding the time” to write.

We discussed life, love, breaking into the field of writing romance novels and what she does to write . . . erotica!

Listen to the episode and get an earful. Woot Woot!

Podcast Episode 003: Eugenia Berg of “Married Girl In A Weird World!”

June 14, 2014 By Michelle Matthews-Calloway Leave a Comment

Words cannot describe how HAPPY we were to have veteran blogger and vlogger Mrs. Eugenia Berg of the blog/vlog “Married Girl In A Weird World.”

I say it and I’ll keep saying it: Eugenia Berg’s “Single Girl In a Weird World” was the FIRST blog I subscribed to. I’ve been following her since then, and not only did she eventually become “Married Girl In A Weird World,” she and her handsome hubby are now expecting TWINS! Woot Woot!)

Eugenia and Matt at a recent baby shower

I looked forward to her posts, and I was happy when she started vlogging and putting her posts on YouTube.

I had a special ritual: When I received an email notification that she’s put up a video on YouTube, I would wait until I got home to watch it. I normally read a chapter of a book before I go to sleep. Well, when Eugenia did a post, that video would be my “end of the day” treat to watch before I went to sleep.

I can’t say enough good things about her – Eugenia is beyond wonderful and Adrienne and I feel blessed and privileged to be connected with her.

Want some FREE coaching on Vetting? Eugenia’s blog is a premiere source. She did a series on the subject, and if you’re smart, you’ll give a listen to what she has to say here, here and here.

Shucks, Eugenia’s entire blog constitutes free coaching on a variety of subjects. Again, if you’re smart, you’ll run, not walk right on over to her blog and get you some, because the woman drops some serious wisdom.

Eugenia’s tagline is: “The best part is I’ve lived it so I know what I’m talking about.”

Indeed! Her knowledge and her passion shine through her words and her voice.

The podcast with Eugenia was so much fun; we plan to have her on the show regularly!

Listen to the episode and you’ll understand why. Woot Woot!
