Showing posts with label love life

 I am not hiding my face behind my face when I say this: “I’m a lover girl in her 30s.”

I used to feel like I had to tone that part of me down. I felt that being soft, romantic, or openly desiring love made me seem naïve after all the heartbreak I have encountered. Society often tells us to be cautious, guarded and remain with a plan while strategizing.

Last Valentine’s Day, I was in the early weeks of a situationship unfolding. I thought I had something to toast to, but instead, I was left disappointed. Yeah, I am talking about no gift. No effort. Not even the smallest gesture of appreciation.

DMX said, “Let a dog roam, and he’ll find his way home. They always come back! Who is they? A man from your past popping up like he never left? Is he two steppin’ while, and sliding into your DMs, acting like he just wanted to say hey?

As I approach the second anniversary of my divorce this October, I've reflected on the journey I've traveled in the realm of love and relationships. Navigating the intricate dating world has been both exhilarating and daunting. It has been a delicate balance between my desire for connection and my fear of heartbreak.

In today's modern dating landscape, it's not uncommon to find ourselves entangled in situationships. Situationships can be defined as those ambiguous relationships that lack commitment, and clarity, and leave us feeling emotionally drained. Defined by inconsistent communication, intermittent intimacy, and a distinct lack of defined boundaries.


I Am Alone on Valentine's Day

in , , by Linda B Hurd, February 14, 2024

I am alone but not lonely on the night of Valentine's Day. This is the day of love, romance, and affection, so folks say. As I sit here on my couch, wine in hand, I can't help but reflect on the journey that led me to this moment of solitude.


Love has a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. It transcends time and defies all logical boundaries. But in a world filled with rules and timelines, we often find ourselves asking, "When is it too soon to fall in love?" 


The holiday season is filled with festive decorations, cozy gatherings, and the spirit of giving. For many, it's also a season for romance, as the atmosphere encourages us to connect with loved ones, old and new. 

There's no such thing as a perfect love story anyway. There can be a true love story that you can create for yourself first. It's time to take control and step into the spotlight as the main character of your love life. Here are some tips to help you become the leading role in your romantic journey:


It’s alright to be a person who loves love but sometimes avoids the potential of falling into it. I am surely not here to judge you. The idea of dating can be more daunting than the prospect of remaining single.


Relationships are a beautiful part of life that can bring joy, support, and fulfillment. However, not all relationships are healthy or nurturing. When toxicity seeps into a partnership, it can emotionally, mentally, and even physically drain us. 


What does the rhythm of your own heart sound like? I imagine my heart to sound powerful now because just about a year ago it sounded like weathered beats on a bass drum off in a distance. My heart was low vibrational. It had been overly exposed to the elements of love, pain, deceit, and lust. 


The human body is an amazing thing as well as being mindful of who you choose and how you decide to give them your body is too. Great sexual intimacy is one of the best parts of a relationship. There is something special about sharing passionate, pleasurable moments with someone you find attractive. 


Having A Baby Will Not Make Him Stay

When loving him is no longer enough, sis walk away and love on you! I’ve been there before. I felt hopeless in a marriage fighting to save the look of having a two-parent home for our children. I have been blindsided by deceit and been the deceitful one.

You want to know an honest truth? My sister and I use to crave for lemonade so bad. We would break yellow highlighters and remove the ink. 




I met my now husband of 5 ½ years on a party line! Most of the time people are astonished whenever they ask us, and we tell them. I have always been the type of person who goes for personality before looks. Now, don’t get me wrong. I still must be physically attracted to you too. Personality just takes the cake for me. As a teenager, a few of my friends from school and I would get on party lines. 



We all know about heartbreak and pain from a bad relationship. It may seem difficult to live again without having a bitterness in your heart. I know how it feels to go through the motions of finding the strength to trust again after a break-up. 9 years ago, I was in one hell of a crazy abusive relationship. I'm so happy that I made it through it without losing myself.  It is national domestic violence awareness month. Did you know that every 9 seconds, a woman in the U.S is beaten or assaulted by a current or ex-significant other? 

In this blog post, I wanted to share with you 4 ways that you can regain the strength to trust again and move forward with your love life.


Does your man make you feel insecure about yourself? I am here to encourage you and let you know that you do not have to suffer in silence. I truly understand how difficult it may be to reach out and talk to another woman about your current insecurities that are being sparked from your relationship or marriage. As you continue to read this blog post, I am going to give you a few reasons why your man is probably making you feel insecure. Are you ready? Let’s go.


First comes friendship, then comes love, and then comes commitment. There are levels of gaining an even deeper level of intimacy with the man that you are in love with. When a guy is ready to take things to the next level with you it is because he does have very strong reasons. Here are six reasons why he is ready to take things to the next level with you.


Dear, Baby Hurd

I have been back to the doctor ever since, the last update and I had an ultrasound. Mommy will explain to you when you get here and can understand what an ultrasound is too, so don’t be confused while you read this.
