Dare to Have an Extraordinary Life – Dig out that “Chip”!

Received a note and this pic from E, a longtime reader the other day. She has been a reader of my site for about 7-8 years. She is a wise young woman with the best of reading tastes. LOL  It always helps any of us so much to be able to access and communicate with likeminded others when we’re on any path in life. This is why I’ve written so many articles urging African American women to join or form a network of likeminded others. A network like that is a form of wealth!  So, she keeps me posted about what’s going on in her life.

Evia, hope your April is going well.  I have enjoyed my time so far out here and my dip into boarding school life.  My husband has been working in LA since January so I am hoping to find a position closer to there at a well-regarded day school.  Small town life is restorative,  and the town is lovely and quirky, but I would love to be closer to the big city and bright lights, restaurants open late and CULTURE!  I have attached a selfie we took as the ice plants bloomed out here last month.

I’m a curator of life-enhancing cultural practices. It goes without saying that marriage has proven to be “the most” or one of the tiptop, life-enhancing cultural and societal, most evolutionarily-progressive practices of all time, and this is why it has always been supported and put on a pedestal  by all societies, governments, and cultures–aside from, of late, the black American collective.

Since I’m black-American by ethnicity, I point out once again that the marriage rate among  people from my ethnic background is abysmally low. And all I hear is excuse after excuse from blacks for why black Americans aren’t marrying more. For ex., I most often hear the financial excuse, which is that if black Americans had more money or were closer to being on a financial par with whites, they would get married at much higher rates. SMH

This lie, sponsored, constantly spread and overwhelmingly so by black Americans, is usually aimed at black American women to keep them unmarried, unsupported, and quiet, but as sympathetic sex partners for black American men, [Read more…]
