5 Reasons He's Worth Marrying

 5 Reasons He’s Worth Marrying



So here you are wondering if the special man in your life is worth spending your entire life with.You may have told all your friends and family members that this guy is truly everything you have been waiting for and looking for in a man. Yet on the inside there is still that feeling that you need a bit more hope to accept that marriage idea he keeps bringing up to you. Here are some ways to help you identify if he is truly worth marrying.
Now notice it’s different for everyone because others may not need all these signs to tell them the guy is worth marrying because every woman has a different set of standards. However if you believe the mold fits you right then these great tips may be just what you needed to hear to give to go forward with the man of your dreams!

.    1.You share a mutual connection of thoughts and Ideas…Nothing is like being around a person that you can connect with on all levels. It is so very important to be able to communicate with the person you are planning to commit to for the rest of your life. Now I’m not saying you will not have days that you do not agree, but those disagreements will be minor compared to every day discussions. You want someone that you can discuss business with, someone who you can bring up ideas to and they understand and are willing to support those ideas as strongly as if they were their own ideas. Today many people marry for the wrong reasons and find themselves in long term relationships with people they have to debate with every time they mention how they feel. Be mindful that you also don’t want someone who agrees with everything you say because that can be signs they simply are not interested in what you are saying and just really want to make you happy regardless of how obscure the ideas you present sound. You will know that you both have a mutual connection because you may find yourselves laughing and saying, “Wow, we have so much in common”.

  2.    He is Truthful….Being around a man who tells you the truth regardless of how it may make you feel says a lot. Nobody wants to be around a lying man because when a man can’t be honest with you about small things then you know that when bigger issues arise, he will lie to you about those also. Honesty goes a long way and some women will claim they don’t want a man to tell them everything and that he should lie to them sometimes about small things like, (weight, fitting of clothing, hair, etc). I disagree with that because this only opens the door for him to feel it is okay to lie about other things because all he heard was you say, “It is okay to lie to me sometimes”. Honesty in a man is a plus, you may not like what he has to say but if he is keeping it real with you, take that into consideration because many men are out sweeping women off their feet with lies.

  3.   He Loves God… Allow me to break that down for you a bit more. He not only loves God but has a relationship with God. A man who prays and honors God’s words will honor you. Now some people will disagree and say that its some snakes in the church, and that may be true but remember I said he “honors” God’s words. A man who is just attending church and never communicates with God may be someone to watch out for. When considering marriage, a man in the bible is labeled the head and God is his head, so then you can follow your head as long as it is being lead by God. (I Cor. 11:3).  A man who seeks after the heart of God will do the things that are pleasing to God which includes loving you as he loves his own flesh. He will not seek to hurt you nor torment you, but find every way to love you as God loves us. He is that forgiving man who does not hold grudges when you make an error, he is that man that wants to pray about the things you both can’t come to an agreement on. He is that man that is okay waiting for you which includes holding off on sex until you say I do.

   4.    He makes you Laugh…Being in the presence of a man who knows how to put a smile on your face even when you are mad at him is truly a gift. Life is so much greater than the little things that we face each day so when you find a man who shows you the bright side of everything, then he is worth holding on to. No one likes a negative person who makes you feel miserable and drains you of your joy because they are always complaining about life. I believe we all began to laugh when we saw the actor; Lance Gross removes his shirt in Tyler Perry’s movie Temptation and began to play that guitar! Who could stay mad after seeing that? No one! So spend life with a man who is not just silly all the time, but he knows when to laugh and when to be serious. I’m not saying go marry Mr. Silly who never takes anything serious unless that’s your cup of tea.  Remember you are planning to spend the rest of your life with this guy, so you need some laughs along the way to get you through those rocky road days that do tend to come in marriage.

  5.    You are not a secret in his Life…. A man who loves you wants the world to know that he loves you and he will make your presence known to everyone that he encounters. He will take you home to meet his mother, his grandmother, his dad or whoever he feels is a key of importance in his life. Most females confuse meeting the guys friends as a sign that he is making your presence known, that is not always a sign. Meeting a guys friends means nothing because you may not be the only female he has brought to meet his friends that week. They will not be to quick to even tell you either, instead they will smile and greet you as they did the last female on yesterday. These days, most women seek to be made known on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, or even Instagram by the guy who claims to love them. This is a plus for today’s generation because he is showing he doesn't mind the world knowing you both are in love. However be careful with that also because some guys just do that for show every week they post a different girl. Stick to the old school way of going home and having dinner with his parents. A man who wants to spend his life with you, will bring you into his life which includes being around his family and at family events. If he never invites you to his home, to meet his parents, or to any family events then that may be a sign to watch out for.


Making sure he is the right one also means praying and asking God if this guy is the one to marry because often times, you may meet a guy with all these great qualities listed but he may not be for you, he could be for someone else. I hope that these great tips helped take care of that little doubt you had in your mind and eased your stomach a bit so you can relax. If he adds up to these tips then why are you making that man wait when he clearly wants to give you his last name!

Exclusive Red Carpet Event 2014 in Atlanta, GA


There was no greater place to be this weekend than at the Exclusive Red Carpet Event 2014 in Atlanta, GA this past Saturday. The event took off at the Doubletree Hotel and featured clothing designers such as Vanessa Henderson, founder of House of Van Miller
 & another amazing clothing designer, Kyrenn Prince Westry, founder of Chy'Ann Clothing and Chy'Ann Magazine 

I was simply blown away by the amazing designs that were featured during this event and the designers assured me that this was only a taste of what they had to offer.This was my first fashion event and I must say that it was truly an awesome experience. This event was an excellent opportunity for those looking to gain exposure through networking in the fashion and entertainment industry. I also had an opportunity to meet Amanda Cooper of Talking Out Loud, which is an online talk-show radio, she had an awesome personality!


The event was amazing and the models truly came out & ripped the runway with fabulous clothing and phenomenal make-up, having me want to be a model for one night only so I to could gracefully glide down the run-way as they did so naturally. I had the chance to go behind the scenes of the event and meet a few of the models such as Shana Green


& Keri Steward

Can we say it again? Amazing Show!








The host of the event Daniel "Haitian Sensation Boxer" Edouard
kept the crowd full of laughter as we enjoyed the showcase and performances. The night went to the next level though as we were blown away by the amazing vocals of Aseelah who has performed as a back ground singer for artists such as Fantasia, Beyonce & 
P-Diddy! I was in awe as she performed "Morning", and was the first to go grab a copy of her mix-tape after the performance, by the way which was kept on repeat the entire night after the show.


You can be sure to keep up with these designers & their amazing work by liking them on Facebook!

"Sometimes" Poetry4U By: Tanisha D. Davis

Sometimes its just me laying back with my head on the pillow
wondering what the next day holds for me
Sometimes its just me laying with no care in the world
trying to make some clear understanding out of what is going on around me.
 See everybody has reasons for why they do what they do
and everybody has reasons for why they pursue what they pursue

I wonder will someone think of me just as much as I think of them
see the last love I thought would never leave, eventually moved on and claimed love from others as if my happy was never his happy everlasting,
everybody change, its life

Sometimes its just me staring up at the sky trying to figure out who will have the same motivation for life as I do,  you know who will be willing to put in an effort to prove that what they see is really what they need and not consider it to just be another want, sought after by the lust of the eyes,
Sometimes I think my feelings are wrapped up behind a disguise because the world wants to see you always happy & enjoying life, then again maybe they want to see you experience a bit of strife so they can sit back and talk about your life.

I'm just a southern type, trying to make it out of this trapped city life where nothing but trouble, and broken hearts dwell....I call it a place like hell...nothing positive ever came out this city for me in the past....

Sometimes I wonder where should I go
got to get away from this place or maybe I'm trying to get away from me
that part that I despise...that part I see staring back through dark brown eyes in the mirror
That part that has been hurt so many times before
that part still knocking at a door inside my mind begging to be set free,
that part screaming....she is me...

Sometimes I wonder does anyone really care at all
they never seem to show up when you fall
they only there when you rise
all smiling faces with glistening eyes

They all hoping to get a piece of your prize
so full of lies, lies, lies

Free your mind...Free your mind
can't sit around wondering forever
but then again
somebody has to wonder how to do better.

Escape to Paradise by Tanisha D. Davis




Escape to Paradise

By: Tanisha D. Davis

The sun felt so good beaming down warmly upon my skin as I stared out over the water. I had been waiting to get away from the city for a while now after the break up I had experienced and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. I looked down at my phone to see if I had any missed calls, I figured at least someone would have cared enough to call me or see whether I had made it safely to my destination, but still no missed calls and no text messages. I tossed the phone over onto the bed & grabbed my bottle of wine & poured me a glass, so what if it was too early to be drinking; I needed to get into a feel good zone to keep from being depressed on what was supposed to be a vacation.  I sat in the chair staring at the couples and the people running excitedly across the sand, they looked so happy and that was a feeling I was fighting every day to have. I was happy with me, but did it hurt to have someone else to be happy with to….it makes life a bit easier I’d say when you are mingling with another.  I laid my head back & closed my eyes as the wine began to ease down my throat and I begin to imagine me, happily running through the sands and playing along the beach with the man of my dreams. His strong hands grasping my hips as he tossed me in the air and spent me around while laughing and showing his beautiful white teeth; however I was awakened from my fantasy by a text message. I sat the glass down thinking, man, a woman can’t even be happy in her dreams. I had no idea who would be texting me but hopefully it was nothing to add to my already depressed moment.

I walked over and grabbed my phone and quickly swiped down to see the message. I laughed, this could not be happening.

“I’m a few minutes from your hotel, decided to come celebrate with you anyways”.

It was Chad, and despite how badly I wanted to tell him to turn around and take his butt back to where he came from, I was desperate for any man’s quality time at this moment. See Chad was really just a good friend of mine and even though I knew he had some feelings for me, those feelings always ended up in the role of some game because once I fed into it, he would switch up on me as if I had suddenly lost my mind.  I had learned to keep my feelings at a distant with Chad but I still had sent him a text along with a few others in hope that someone would come make my get away nice.

I decided to call him instead of texting just so I could hear his voice and gain some idea of what kind of plan he was coming up with.  The phone rang once and went straight to voicemail. I tossed the phone back on to the bed because now I was slightly excited about him coming but then again I felt he was only coming to ensure a possible opportunity of sleeping with me. Another text message came through and I was pretty sure it was him again with some reason for why he did not answer the phone.

“Hey...I apologize…been working a lot lately at the office but you know I don’t mind going on vacation with you, so I will make it in some time this evening when I get off work”.

Oh crap! Now Lewis had decided to show up to! This is what I get for underestimating people. I mean, I wanted to enjoy myself but now I got two men trying to come vacate with me. I grabbed my glass and tossed back the last few sips and poured another glass and began to toss it back. My mind was racing trying to figure this out because there was no way both guys could be in my room at the same time. I had to come up with a plan. I had to figure something out quick because telling Lewis to get his own room would be a red flag for me and telling Chad to get his own room would be a red flag for him also. Another text came through and I was afraid to even look at my phone, I simply wanted to pretend it had lost signal and that I did not just read that text from Lewis.

“What room are you in?”, the text from Lewis read. I thought fast and hard, and then it hit me like a brick. I would use my card to rent another room! This was going to be some bad girl activity but some way I was planning to make it work. I picked up the phone to dial front desk and asked to reserve and pay for another room. I grabbed a few clothes and stuffed them into one small luggage and raced to the elevator almost tripping up in my flip flops & bumping into an elderly couple. The lady at the front desk stared at me as she took my information as if she could read my thoughts which made me shift and stare around the lobby. “Is everything okay with your room”, she asked.  “Yes everything is nice, just having a few changes to my plans”, I said forcing a smile. My heart was racing and I was still trying to figure out how I would be in two places at one time, and what about tonight, who will I sleep with? What about dinner, who will I eat with? So many questions were flooding my mind while I took the card for the other room and headed to the 3rd level of the hotel. Maybe I should just call both guys and tell them that I would rather spend this vacation alone. That would have been the easy way out of this except for the fact that both guys know that I do not like being on vacation alone.

I looked at my phone, Lewis had sent me a question mark and was waiting for an answer. I had to do something. I had to say something.

 I looked down at my phone. I texted.

“Room 307”.

"In The Sky" - By Tanisha D. Davis


 
To see your loved one go

Will always be a hard thing to accept

Just know that all the joyful moments you had

Are forever memories kept,

As you look up into the deep blue sky

You may even ask, Lord why?

Just know that he saw what was best to do

And he will strengthen you,

Sometimes you may feel sad

At times a picture may make you smile

But always rejoice & be exceedingly glad

That God brought home his weary child

We do not know the pain you feel inside

but we send comfort to help you through this storm

praying that God will come wrap you when you feel weak

Safely in his arms,

This is only a temporary Good Bye

For soon ye shall all be able to walk beside him again

In the blue sky.
