It was an uncharacteristically beautiful weekend. 78°. In February…no less! But the weekend itself…was less than beautiful.
Back in the day, Bernie and I used to take weekend road trips. From the ATL, to Pigeon Forge, TN., to Quebec. We had a ball. So, as our way of reconnecting in our 19-year marriage and prioritizing the fun in our marriage, Bernie and I decided to restart our weekend road trips.
At the recommendation of some of you guys, Norfolk, Va. was our destination this particular beautiful 78° weekend. How was our trip? Well…you know it’s gonna be a janky weekend when you walk into your Downtown Norfolk Courtyard Marriot hotel room and you see a case of beer, a pair of pantyhose, and someone’s bag of clothes already in the room.
We salvaged the weekend by hanging out with a pair of #QoolQouples tho. Watch episode one of our new series…#QoolQouplesQonquer Road Trip.

#WednesdayWisdom #027: It’s Unacceptable for Women to Compete for a Man…Unless this Happens
I saw the shift take place in the 90’s. In fact, I was apart of it. I went to college in the late 80’s. Back then, girls had all the power. Guys would clamor for their attention. Girls would sit back…pick and choose whoever they wanted to date. If you weren’t tall...
#WednesdayWisdom #026: “Happy Father’s Day…Mom!” Should Single Mothers be Honored on Father’s Day?
One Father’s Day morning, Lil’ Joe gave me a Father’s Day card at church. I was so thankful! He was 10 years old back then. And when Jasmyn was 20, she gave me this beautifully hand-written Father’s Day card. I was so humbled. But I couldn’t help but wonder if Lil’...
