I got the idea for this meme from Princess Dominique.

A few things that make me smile:

Hearing my mom say Good Morning.

A hug from my grandmother.

An email from two of my best friends.

The sound of my nephew’s voice calling me “auntie.”

Getting caught up in a good book.

Sneaking in the house before my nosy neighbor can see me.

An email from someone who has read one of my books or interviews.

Sitting on the porch in the country enjoying nature.

Getting into my favorite pair of jeans.

The fact that you’re reading this.

ABOUT THE BOOK

EROTIC CITY is a hip, upscale swingers club for grown-folks only, located in the heart of Atlanta. It is a grand, three-story place of pleasure, where the uninhibited freaks come out four nights a week to get their ultimate groove on without fear of reprisal or judgment, yet judgment from the outside world threatens all that Milan Kennedy has worked so hard to achieve.

Erotic City will be in stores in November or online from Amazon.com.

Listening to the lyrics of Beyonce’s new song, “Single Ladies – Put a Ring On It,” made me think about an earlier post I wrote.

We’ve all heard the saying “Why buy the cow, when you can get the milk for free.” More than likely it was an older and wiser person telling us this. Not sure if the young men heard this, but this was something that was told to us when we were young ladies.

There’s some truth in the saying. Too bad we don’t find this out until we’re much older. Experience is life’s best teacher at times.  I’m sure it’s hard for a man to figure out when they’ve come across a woman of Grade A quality because they’ve been handed the goodies on a silver platter without having to bring anything to the table.

We have to stop allowing certain behavior from men. Once we do that, the man will have no choice but to get their act together.  If a woman is important enough to a man, he shouldn’t have a problem putting a ring on her finger.
