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!
