photoshoot 004 Describe yourself for our visitors.

I consider myself a very spiritual person who values having an intimate relationship with God. I also am a very creative person. I love to write books, songs, anything creative. The creative process really makes me feel alive.

How do you find time to connect with God?

I MAKE time every morning to connect with God. I literally fall out of bed and into my prayer room. Then I stay connected to Him all day long. I talk to Him while cooking, cleaning, driving, everything. He’s my absolute best friend. If I miss a day without seriously connecting with Him, I’m off. After a few days of missing Him, I’m not fit to be around other people and can’t even stand myself, so I make intimate time with Him my life’s top priority.

Describe yourself for our visitors.

I consider myself to be a simple person. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I keep my word. I treat people how I want to be treated. I’m direct, open and honest.

How do you find time to connect with God?

I believe I’m always connected. He’s with me every moment of the day. I acknowledge Him, His presence and His works throughout the day by thanking Him – for the food, the beautiful day, my shelter, my employment, my skills, my clothing – you name it. I continually ask for guidance and His help to keep me in His will.

Build A Strong Marriage: Erect Boundaries With Friends of the Opposite Sex

dompress Build A Strong Marriage: Erect Boundaries With Friends of the Opposite Sex by Linda Dominique Grosvenor

For years as single people we have been urged to foster lasting relationships, be open, honest and learn to communicate our needs clearly and effectively in preparation for our spouse. However, once we’ve received that special person into our lives that we wish to cherish, share our hopes and dreams with and connect with on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level, most of us haven’t been taught beyond that. We haven’t been taught how or when to break ties with or “cool down” some former relationships that may be detrimental to the budding marriage covenant itself. Of course, we’re talking about being friends with those of the opposite sex.

April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month

internet_5143-jones-240x300 April is Testicular Cancer Awareness Month
by LaConnie Taylor Jones

For the past twenty years, I’ve worked as a community public health educator. After obtaining my Masters in Public Health, I opted against working for the health department.  Instead, I decided to go into the drenches, teaching underserved communities the importance of preventative health. Every day, I interact with individuals who struggle with chronic diseases and wage war to find quality treatment within a fractured healthcare system. Despite their failures and the socio-economic deterrents woven around their lives, many have fought to overcome issues we couldn’t wrap two thoughts around. Why? Someone came along and dared to love them during the most hideous time in their lives. So when I threw my hat into the literary ring, I drew upon these real-life experiences. Hence, my stories deal with real-life health or social issues.

INTERVIEW | K.M. Johnson

KM_Johson_Blog Tour K.M., the title of your book is, Knowing The Struggle Is Over! which is very fitting for the current economic situation. I know some people may be wondering, though, what exactly is the struggle?

Honestly, I get that question often. The struggle is not your typical financial situation, or necessarily an addiction that I am speaking of. Though those are two great examples, a struggle is actually any situation, trial or tribulation you may find yourself in. When you find yourself in a struggle, it often means that you have come to a point where you must make a decision and ultimately a choice! I say this with the understanding that everything we do daily is a choice. Whether or not we say or do something is a decision that we as a person have consciously made on our own, regardless if it is wrong or right.
