All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.

Self Care Sunday’s Pt. 1
Imagine waking up, you wash your face and shower. You see the face of your partner and she has a depressing yet hopeful face. It’s a day that usually is filled with rest and self care, but today things are a little different-The usual routine is off but why? Feelings are being misconstrued along with a three year old running mad. Now before I go into the story, you should know self-care Sunday is a tradition started with my new fiancé and stepson. He really is not involved with the process, but he at least knows what is happening every Sunday. We spend the morning cleaning, washing our linen, playing outside-then towards the evening we wear mask and do cleansing of the body from head to toe. It is really an experience....but today things are out of whack and as I overthink-this time it is not my fault-how could it be I just woke up. Usually in the am, I am welcomed by even a simple morning kiss, but the tension began to build making my anxiety go crazy and distort the truth far from what it was. Before I literally get to point of breaking down mentally everything that might have pissed her off prior to that morning like farting in the bed or missing an important date. There was such a smooth vibe usually on this day and for the love of me I needed Sherlock Holmes to crack this case. I thought what could make her face turn like this and be so cold to me, but I realized that I could also talk to her, so I did. The whole time I had been feeling bad, it was because of that dreadful time of the darn month. Now most people would say well why didn’t you do that before, I will tell you why. Most guys know most women only voluntarily tell you about their periods only when it’s in their favor. It has ruined much of my relationship honestly and I wish women could eradicate them sooner than later. To every man out there taking on the task of loving a woman right, commend them for dealing with such a dreadful curse. Let’s just say this self-care Sunday hasn’t been on the usual routine, but it’s what I signed up for. Keys to staying on her good side so far is by focusing on me, but trust me every partnership has it’s up and downs. She will come around after this shameful week, but it will be like every week with a new task. I have somehow survived to the evening time with a warm meal in my belly, but tension still builds and there is just a sadness over the house, it can be felt. Tears begin to fall down my eyes as I know that this may not be the only thing hindering our relationship except for self care Sunday. I don’t know where my nights may lead me, but tonight it definitely led to a joint and some brown. I put myself in a mind state that is unhealthy so I meditate to recall everything I am grateful for as I look into this bloody shame on her face. I only pray and hope for the best, but deep down I say to myself “I love her” no matter how angry she gets with me. All I can do is put it in God’s hands. For now, I am enjoying this Sunday with my stepson and he is literally a vibe booster in himself. Stay tuned for the rest of the saga next week..... Thanks for tuning in.

Who is Jenson Micheals?
I wake up in bed and look over at the alarm clock to see it reading 6 am, I stretch my arms over my head before rolling over to find I am alone.

I never imagined this day would come. I mean, I hoped and prayed it would for many years now, but never actually thought I would see the day.

Tattoo Memories
Now do not get me wrong, I love tattoos. They are art and they are beautifully designed by some of the greatest tattoo artist around the whole entire world. I am forever grateful to have met such great artists throughout my tattoo journey. I have tattoos which I will forever love especially with the design, the time the artist emphasised into the detailing, and the biggest part of working with a tattoo artist is the efficiency of how well they are able to use a needle that moves so quickly to our skin, which sits and moves in such a way that only nature understands.

How can we love
The one thing in the world almost everyone wants to be able to experience but yet it seems to be the one thing we can’t seem to quiet understand. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re not in the same position as our ancestors when it comes to being married and starting families early on and assuming those gender specific roles. This lets men and women really chose and try to find what it is they’re truly looking for in a partner, a friendship that’ll last a lifetime. Though, now a days there’s a lot more variables that also make it very difficult to find a person you can sit and talk about all the crazy things going on in the world, having different view points and opinions and ultimately still being able to respect eachother and make it work. As of now, i don’t see politics, racial inequalities, gender roles and inequalities, or this conversation starter-monogamy or polygamy being talked about with out there being tension. Why is that? Why do people tend to wait until after they’ve gotten comfortable with someone or perhaps even in love that all those “little” things come up and they’re not so little anymore. We shouldn’t feel like those topics are a deal breaker in the beginning because in reality those are some of the most important things to talk to a partner or potential partner about because they’ll always be a topic of discussion that some will never agree on, and that’s always okay. Of course it’s easy to fall in love with the outside of a person or the parts of themselves they only show you in the beginning to either not scare you away or because that’s what side of them they think you’re falling for. Love as beautiful and amazing it is when you do find it with the right individual(s) shouldn’t be rushed or pushed. Let it be something that you’re not constantly looking for or pushing because you’ll always end up overlooking those things that truly matter in the end because you just wanted to be loved. We all have to learn to start with loving ourselves, truly and fully. Accepting all our flaws, noticing our downfalls so we can uplift our selves when we need it instead of searching for the recognition within someone else. Always make sure your cup is full before you try to pour into someone else’s. Make sure you’re truly happy with YOU.

WORD SCRAMBLE
YO! WHAT do you spell with these eight letters? Y E L U V I O O (Hint: 3 words) These eight little letters by themselves don’t say too much, but when we untangle them and put them in place, they hold the highest, most intense affection and warmth for another person! Yea! Just eight letters! Three simple words out of the million words in our English language have THAT MUCH POWER!! These priceless words: I LOVE YOU, hold the grandest word statement in everyone’s hearts, ACROSS OUR GLOBE! It is rather mind-blowing, but at the same time, we may have all felt some level of it somehow! If for some reason you haven’t, you may be one of the many that are climbing the “Mount Everest of Love” looking for it. That’s Okay too! KEEP CLIMBING!

A Yellow Dress
She trembles. The flashes of yellow under florescent lights are blinding, but she is unaware. She is within the mess of fabric in a confined space.

In Sickness and In Health
When my children hurt themselves, they come to me, point to the affected area and present themselves for their magic Mother's kiss which I willingly give. I kiss them sweetly and suddenly, they are better, returning to play and jovial mood. I kiss them better and it is as if it never happened. That is the beauty of youth, so a little a thing can turn their tears into laughter.

First Love
The first time we talked, it was sunshine. Sunshine which flowed between us and connected us. Sunshine which only grew, minute by minute, hour by hour.

Long-Distance Relationship Survival Guide
I never truly understood how difficult long distance relationships were until I was in the middle of one. It's not glamorous, it's not romantic, and it's no walk in the park. Honestly, I wouldn't wish it anyone but sometimes life just leads us down these difficult paths and we have to come up with ways to overcome these challenges.

Whoever said marriage is hard, should have described what that truly meant. Being a relationship coach has taught me many things and yet there are still some things that one can never be taught. You have to go through the experience(s) and hopefully stay afloat.

I want to leave for me, But stay for you.
I want to stay, I really do. But I constantly feel like I'm swallowing. Swallowing my words, So I'm softer on you. Swallowing my emotions, so you're at ease. And that goes for you and myself. I swallow for me too. Being soft has been something I'm very good at, even despite all the trauma I have been though. It's the one thing I feel make me a good person. But lately I feel you've brought out the part of me that wants to scream at the world. Or maybe I have. Either way I'm not being soft for the universe anymore.
