Boys and Men (How to tell which one you're dealing with)

Morning, lovebugs. It's that time again. "I feel a blog coming on" is an expression some of y'all are familiar with, when I feel an EMPOWERMENT moment may be lurking. It's been a minute! That's fantastic! It means I don't feel the need to issue reality checks nearly as often these days! ;) Hooray for women who know their worth and refuse to settle! You go, gals! Today I want to talk about men! More importantly, how to recognize the difference between what I like to call a "basic boy" and a "grown-ass man". Now, keep in mind, even the BEST of 'em need a little nudging sometimes, but if you're on the right track with the right dude? It won't take much! This isn't an "all-inclusive" list that's magically going to help you with uh...housebreaking?!...your favorite fella, but for sure, it may save you some pain caused by dealing with the wrong one! Here are 10 examples of behavior that can clue you in

No Time for Train Wrecks

Over the past few years, I have talked to literally hundreds of women a day in various stages of relationships, from brand spankin' new all the way up to "You are my SUPERHERO" length.

Happy New Year, gang! I'm going to keep this post short and sweet. I figured since we have an "official" author website and Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages, we should be like everybody else on the planet and have a blog too! 😉 I'll be honest and tell y'all I have NO CLUE what's going to wind up on here, but I figure at some point I'll tell more of our story. I will probably (fair warning) include lots of random musings, rants and rave reviews about life in general, so y'all can get an accurate picture of both what we go through, why and how we do it and who we are! I am NOT going to hold myself to any kind of "schedule" on this one since I have way too much else going on right now, but it's a start! WELCOME and thank you for the love and support. We're glad you're here and hope we can offer the exact same thing in return! Much Love, Jo PS. I had to come back and edit this post to include all the links to the stuff I
