Saving Cupid

I don’t believe there is a cupid, actually. I do, however, believe in personal angels that guide us through all of life’s relationships. When God wants someone in your life, your personal angel is working overtime to create the opportunity for you to meet that person. And yes, you guessed it: that person has a purpose in your life! These angels give us wisdom, compassion, and the ability to trust another human being at the exact moments that cultivate a new bond in our lives, the moment when a friendship is born.

What’s crazy is: I did not intend to meet “my husband” when I did meet him for the first time in a swanky restaurant in Ohio. I thought, ‘What a nice, handsome man and he’s so…optimistic!” At that time in my life, meeting a wholesome man like him would’ve sent me running in panic and fear of commitment. Instead, my angel gave me a spirit of peace whenever this man was near so that I could open my heart and trust him with it. God used my vulnerability to make me stronger, to heal me of my bitterness and cure me of my unbelief. Listen to your angel (who was sent to give you God’s personal message for you) and have a little faith. Save your cupid.

In just a few days on Sunday, February 13, Sean Anthony The Hip Hop Motivator will conduct another transparent discussion on interracial dating on his talk radio show The Power of One Voice. I am moved by this topic because today’s world can still be deathly intolerant of interracial couples. It is my hope that this show encourages the love of a person’s character before judging him or her by skin color. Plus, one of my favorite inspirational people, relationship coach Tony Gaskins, Jr will be a featured guest. Tune in at 9am Sunday for the live one hour talk show on www.ipowerrichmond.com.

 

Especially because it’s Valentine’s Day Weekend–Smooches & Deuces!

Sexual Prowess (You can’t talk about that!)

People accept oversexed women in the mainstream pretty much all of the time. No one had major objections when Halle Berry enacted a hardcore intercourse scene with Billy Bob Thornton in the movie that won her an Oscar. I ogled at Angelina Jolie in her topless scene with Antonio Banderas in Original Sin. Who didn’t? Pop stars Madonna, Britney Spears, and Lady Gaga among many others personified the over-saturation of sex in popular culture directly to teeny-boppers worldwide. Rock and rap music has always objectified sex, especially in the presentation of women in music videos. Remember the scanty bikini-clad Bratz dolls? The first time I encountered one of those heavily made up baby dolls at the toy store, I thought ‘Wow! Um, how sexy?’

This is the kind of young lady we are raising today.

Sex is everywhere and it is too easy to consume. We buy sex, period. Mega porn star Jenna Jameson’s company raked in $30 million in revenues in the first five years of business! Exotic dancers can earn up to thousands of dollars per night.  If we don’t talk about sex, then this lascivious society is going to teach our girls and boys by example. So let’s talk about sex, baby. Why are we so lustful, so obsessed with sex? Tune in to the Power Of One Voice this Sunday at 9AM on www.ipowerrichmond.com with host Sean Anthony The Hip Hop Motivator. New York Times bestselling author Mary B. Morrison (also known as erotica writer HoneyB) will guest on the upcoming episode “Sex: BIG Business.” You won’t want to miss it!
