Ladies, it is time to get it together in more than one. I understand that it is difficult to do a lot of things alone, but it's also time to stop making any excuses for yourself. Here are just a few signs that you could possibly be secretly becoming a gold digger and you know it.

A week ago, from today I was frustrated and feeling like I was just going nowhere in life. Even though, I was feeling like shit; I was still smiling. I was still smiling because I knew a change was about to happen.

There was no more need to complain about my part-time job that was often times two days out of the week works pay. There was a feeling of comfort in my soul even though my husband and I were bumping heads over finances.

I started to go to God more and more in prayer. The only person that I had to talk to about my life was my little sister, and I didn't want to burden her with my worry. She had her own issues to cope with like everyone else. I started to think about the things that I had previously asked God for during prayer and it all started to make sense.

You just can't say, "No." You are in love and truly don't want to get in a petty argument for stating how you truly feel. You want to express your true feelings without any regret. If you feel like things will hit the fan if you tell him, 'no' then you are probably allowing him to have too much power over you. He secretly controls you. Hopefully, it isn't too late to regain your respect. Here are five signs of why men are walking all over you...

Falling for the right guy and having him actually feel the same way about you is very difficult to discover nowadays. If we cut the bullshit and stop trying to sugar coat lies about how 'us women' made it like this, then we could truly be enlightened from these six reasons why it is so hard to find a good man.

He took your love and your time for granted. The relationship is said and done. Time has healed your heart, and love songs have helped ease your pain. But, now all of a sudden, while you're in the midst of getting your life together, he is trying to find himself back into your life, bed, and between your legs.

Our girl Beyonce sang it best on her, 'Lemonade' album on the track titled, 'Pray You Catch Me.' 

"I'm prayin' you catch me listening. Prayin' you catch whispering."  



You might not want to get caught committing the silent act right away though unless you're a true bold soul. Being bold by treating yourself to a tall ice-cold glass of lemonade may suite your emotional tastebuds. Until that first sip, here goes my advice.

I found myself frustrated, weak, defeated, thankful, joyous, and feeling betrayed in May. I lost and found hope all in the same month.

I have so many people the encouragement and the motivation to chase not only their dreams but GOD. There were many days I felt hopeless.

I walked around the local walking trail in my neighborhood, stumped about how my husband and I were going to pay the rent. But, my God did make a way out of no way for May. I learned so much not only about myself last month, but as well as my journey...

Making new friendships can be exciting and life-changing. The feeling of connecting with someone who shares your similar interests and has great conversations to share sometimes lure us in. You both become 'close friends' within weeks. 

Going out to grab a bite to eat, visiting each other's homes, and even shopping together may seem like fun for while it lasts. Then after weeks, months, or years of being 'a friend' to them something just starts to feel off.
