"Politically Incorrect?!!"

Today I received an e-mail and thought I'd share with you all. If you are truly a believer, then you will love this song and fully understand the importance of not excluding God from everything. Please read message below before clicking on the link to hear the song. Here is the detailed e-mail I received: The song you are about to listen to is from a Las Vegas Diamond Rio concert. They received an immediate resounding standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it!

2nd Annual Black Girls Rock

Here are some of the performers: Erykah Badu, Melanie Fiona (loved her shoes!!), Estelle, Jill Scott (loved the outfit!!), Mary Mary (that blue dress was too much for a Gospel singer, or am I the only one who thought it was a bit over the top or too revealing?), and Mrs. Isaacs a.k.a. the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul and R&B a.k.a. Mary J. Blige closed out the ceremony with two songs: "My Life" and "Just Fine". I gotta say that Mary J's outfit was off the chain!!! That blue blouse with the puffy sleeves, black fitting pants to show off her curves,...

Talk It Out!

When's the last time you had an argument or disagreement with someone? Do you recall what sparked it? Do you find yourself dwelling on what he or she said that made you so mad and caused you to storm out of the room or simply "run away" from the altercation? Isn't it ironic how at times we can have a disagreement with someone at one moment and everything is all good the next? Well, I'd like to believe that the reason behind it is Effective Communication. If we just take a moment to "Talk it Out" , we'll find that the problem really wasn't all that bad. Effective Communication requires adequate Listening skills from all parties involved. There are 5 Stages of the Listening Process: Receiving:   Hearing & Attending Understanding:   Learning & Deciphering the Meaning Remembering:   Recalling & Retaining Evaluating:   Judging & Criticizing (NOT of one another, but rather the problem) Responding:   Answering & Giving ...
