Treasure

Relationships are not always between a man and woman. Many women have built Solid friendships with other women and the bond is nearly impossible to break.

Many people pass through your life, the ones who truly make an effort to be a real friend are the ones you keep close.

I have been blessed with some truly great friends past and present. Remember it takes a long time to feel comfortable with a lover who becomes your friend. The same is said for a friendship. We do not just fall in love overnight and know the ends and outs of our mate. They are revealed to us through time,as with a friend.

Ladies, stop being backstabbing and ruthless. There are to many women in this world who need a true friend. There are women in other countries who would long for the freedom some of us take for granted. It is a freedom to have a friend. I bet you never thought of it this way. I lived in a place where some women were told whom they are allowed to speak to and have over their own homes. The freedom of choice was lacking when picking a friend. It was already chosen for them.

If you do have a friend whom you truly care about, listen to what they are saying, not just hear them. "LISTEN"

For a rich man is not measured in Gold in Silver alone, but how he treats his fellow man who were created in the same image.

Treasure are not always Gold or Silver

Give up one for another

First Encounter, Date here and there, More serious dating, Share feelings and thoughts for the future, proposal, engagement, Wedding, Honeymoon, and 1st Anniversary and then Wonder what if . . .

Love is a funny thing, can more than one person own your heart. Can you truly be in love with more than one person. One hand the one gives you the passion, caressing, the sense of protection, Conversation, and just a drive and passion for live. The hand gives you Stability, Sense of Direction in Life, Long Term Goals, Dependable, Caring in a childlike sense, and willing to take what other will not. The two hands have so much and yet you cannot have both. What do you do?

Having someone love you and show you that passion physically, whether it's a touch on the hand while watching TV. Or stroke on the face when waking up from a long nights slumber. Or having a dozen roses waiting for you when you return to work from a lunch you just shared with your partner.

Having someone thier for you through rough times of losing a job, Taking care of a loved one when you are unable, providing when you are down and out and unable to get up.Being able to talk about the Bible and really share and believe in the principles it teaches.

Which do you chose? A loving touch and pretty flowers or a Dependable person who will be there for you. It does not sound like a hard choice, does it?
If someone is able to take care of you when you are unable or provide when you cannot, does it makeup for the lack of passion? Does it make up for the lack of romance? (NOT SEX) No candle light dinners, no roses, no bubblebaths, no birthday parties, no Birthday cards, no Mother's Day Cards,no show of affection but on occasion. But Dependable and hard working to make sure their is roof over your head and food to eat.

Roses and Cards are not going to pay the bills, a slap on the behind is not going to make you feel better when you lost your job. Your heart may tell you to pick the love and compassion of an affectionate person, but you head tells you to pick the person who will provide for you and love you at the same time only in a different way.

Many people face this challenge as it is not something women go through but men as well. It is always said to follow your heart, but what if your heart leads you to the wonderful physical touches, good times, and beautiful gifts and not the home where a heart is waiting for you.

Sometimes you have to wrestle with yourself and truly compare what is going to best in the long run and not just at the moment.

A wise person once told me this, "If you truly love someone imagine yourself with that person 50 years from now, the sex is gone, the looks are gone, and the late night parties have long been a part of your past. All you have is conversation and you are in the middle of a cruise. Would it be worth it? Would you have a good time? and Lastly, "Could you even afford one after years of self indulgence?"

If you respond no to any of these questions you may want to work harder on the relationship or think about another.

Have you every had an physical attraction to someone who did not look like the majority of people you grew up with? Have you had a physical attraction to someone of another religion contrary to what you were taught and believe. One of your best friends on earth is someone whom your family would have a cow over and disapprove? Love comes in all colors. Families all over the earth have been affected by the choices of 2 people. In the history of Black families it is more common for a black man to date a white woman. This has been a culture that has become more mainstream since the 1960's. Black families have been more accepting to interracaial marriages and relationships than any other race.

How many times has a friend or relative brought home somone who is black only to find out it is the non-black family who has the biggest problem with the relationship. Specifically, White families are less accepting. Many white ladies have been disowned by their families. This is not to say there are not many loving White families who could care less about race and are only concerned on how the person is going to treat their daughter. Very well how it should be, based on the person on what is inside not out.

In the past 15 years it is has been more common for Black women to look beyond what they are used to, to find a Wonderful Soulmate. This has led to more Black Women and Other Races of Men relationships. Specifically White Men and Black Women.
