A blogger talks about the best gifts to give this holiday season.
In keeping with the spirit of the season, I find myself caught up in all the usual activities which inundate my time during the holidays. The gift lists, holiday parties, home decor, more parties and more gift lists. I must say that it feels like a bit of a rat race, rather than a joyous time meant to celebrate a spiritual homecoming, which for some is the birth of Christ, for others is Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or other. The routine of it all, and expectation of "things" makes the season feel a bit obligatory, rather than the sentimental. How do we take it back? How do we re-capture the very essence of what the season is meant to bring into our lives, beyond the eggnog, baked ham and tangible gifts we seek to receive? How do we get back to the heart of the holidays?
As I pondered these questions, in between sips of eggnog, I realized that my singular self cannot change the worldwide commercialization of the season; but I can change how those I love, experience the holidays with me! I took my lists of clothes, cool gadgets and gizmo's, and tore it up. I instead wrote down each person's name and next to it, I listed all of the intangible things I would give each individual every month, for one full year. So for example, let's take my boyfriend - He always states that I don't "really" listen. My plan is to give him the gift of being the best listener I can be. And through that conscious exercise, I am sure I will see much deeper into him, and will maybe even have the opportunity to give him better gifts throughout the year, because I would have dug deeper to truly listen in a way that I do not right now. That's just one example. Instead of giving my sister a new bracelet or the usual pair of earrings, I decided to give her something I know will make her heart happy and that is to watch her kids one Saturday a month so that she can have alone time with her husband or just great "Me Time" without worrying about a sitter or spending extra cash.
Giving the latest electronics is cool, but in today's world of excess, super-sized meals and TVs, do we really need more stuff? I think not, and so this holiday I choose to celebrate the true spirit of the season. I choose to give an abundance of what the human kind needs today, which does not have a ring tone, play music, or any of the like. I choose to give back that which I appreciate receiving, that is the gift of love to those I love, and we can toast to that over a glass of eggnog and maybe a baked ham!
Happy Holidays!

Do you desire to have a mate who is in love with you, more than you him or her? As a woman now in my thirties, I recall being an older teenager and listening to my father share little gems of wisdom with me about proposed standards I should have in a relationship with a future partner.
Do you desire to have a mate who is in love with you, more than you him or her? As a woman now in my thirties, I recall being an older teenager and listening to my father share little gems of wisdom with me about proposed standards I should have in a relationship with a future partner. One thing I recall him stressing to me is to "Never be more in love with a man, than he is with you". As with most of the relationship advice my father prematurely bestowed upon me in my youth, I never listened and while in my lifetime, my heart has been given to very, very few, I am certain I was on the over giving end and always more in love with "Him" than "Him with me", even if it started out in the opposite manner. So now I wonder, as I'm sure many other women do, is it better to be with a man who loves you more than you love him? Does him loving you more create a better environment for your heart to reside in and trust? Why would we need a man to love us more? Isn't love suppose to be about giving unconditionally and not about what's in it for me?
In my first marriage, I found myself not just in love with someone more, but with someone who did not know how to express love or receive love. I'd play them love songs, and do countless little and big things one does to express love but the acts were never acknowledged. I later found out that it was not that he loved me less, it was just that he never experienced such attention or affection. He could not wrap his head around it. I realized that he loved me more than I him, although my expression of love was magnanimous and so much greater than he could comprehend. My current marriage seems to be a bit of a dance of "I love him more today and he loves me more tomorrow" and vice versa - it all balances out somewhere in between. Are we any happier if we're with a mate who loves us more than we love them? I'd like to think not, as my happiness with a mate is first defined by how I love him. The deepness and completeness of that love that feels like it wraps your soul up in the most comfy clothes on a cold day. Ultimately, there is no relationship if feelings are not mutual to some degree. I mean, if he does not love you, what's the point? But really, in a long term relationship with a mate, do we not get to a point where we need less to love more? Yes as women we want to continue to be courted and appreciated and loved, but his expression of love no longer recites the poetry of our own hearts and the daily script we play out with our mate to foster and nurture a harmonious and loving environment that turns our space with our mate into a blissful utopia. In my own opinion, I don't need him to love me more as I don't see how that makes the relationship better. I do need him to love me in the best way he knows how, and hope that he knows I'd do the same, in the best way I know too. As to how we measure whose love is more or less? I am unclear and while being unclear, think our goal should be to love with the most passion and with our all, independent of whether your mate loves you more or less. In the case of being with a mate who loves you more, is that really a conundrum to ponder? Does it matter who's digging deeper or just that we keep diggin' deeper together?

I must say that after traveling the WORLD, I still see and experience something new and wonderful when it comes to "black men." Ok yes! I am one of those women who when the Sh*t hits the fan I pass the blame and vent about what I am NOT getting. However, traveling across the world, having the opportunity to see and meet other people and experience other cultures; always sends me back to "black men." I am sorry, but there is NOTHING in this world like a black man.

However, traveling across the world, having the opportunity to see and meet other people and experience other cultures; always sends me back to "black men." I am sorry, but there is NOTHING in this world like a black man.
Yes, society and even the brothers themselves, have mentally and physically beaten themselves down at many turns, but I have noticed, that NO MATTER where I am on this planet I always gravitate towards them. Whether or not they even realize it, I always feel safe, comfortable and happy when I am around them. By no means am I excluding men of other cultures, but right now, I want to express myself about the black man.
God knows I will not be speaking in vain when I say that we as black women have had our countless of problems, issues and heartaches with them, but I have encountered so many amazing, cool and positive brothers, that I cannot exclude them from my thoughts, blogs and conversation.
Despite what issues I am going through as a black single female, there have been quite a few black men that have kept me on my path of being a better mom, staying focused on my goals and just feeling good about being a black woman. I think about how hard it is out there not just to be BLACK, but to be a black man and still be able to give something positive to others. It is a blessing that I recognize with reverence.
So, to all of the brothers out there, I GOT you! I will always try to UNDERSTAND you and stand by your side. ALWAYS! If we could all learn how to give this to one another; imagine how powerful we could be. Don't you think we deserve it?
Muah!
'Til next time.
