5 Traits That Men Routinely Fall In Love With
Whether you’re looking for a long-term partner, or already have one, it pays to have the right habits in a relationship. The thing about guys is that they don’t always know how to articulate what they want in their woman.

Café y Humanidad
I had never met a man so full of passion for coffee, and more than anything, full of humanity. It only happens once, in a lifetime, to come across a person with a compelling disposition. A person who despite having the right to safeguard themselves and their triumphs after overcoming brutal turbulent roads across systematic and corporate America, still, that individual chooses to fight for the lives and well-being of others.

Single stories
"We see the world, not as it is but as we are" Stephen Covey. The world is built in the principle of the known and unknown, meaning that daily affairs either come as knowing or not. Knowledge is the fundamental center of reality itself. Our identities are shaped by our beliefs and values. We cannot deny diversity in mankind but that should not be an opportunity to be deliberately uninformed. Structural ignorance denies people from acquiring knowledge due to control system. A society that is without knowledge is also a society without power because they do not know what to do in order to survive.

Perseverance
With the landing of Perseverance on Mars today, and the next part of her journey just beginning, I am reminded that I have my own journey to continue. In my struggles with life change, I had been thinking about not continuing. But as she rolls out, I had best do the same and do a system's check and get on with it; there is not time to waste!

The Land of Imagination
Fighting a dragon, toppling a dystopian government, falling in love with the one and learning that standing out is far better than blending in. That was my Monday. Tuesday, I went on a road trip, visited a vampire at a circus and recovered a missing lightning bolt. Oh the excitement! The adventures!

WHO ARE WE?
‘There’s no mystery to Black History‘ (that’s my little poetic saying). My parents came from Jamaica to the UK in the early sixties. Since then I have traced my ancestry back to the point when slavery was just abolished. (I have located over 400 family members spread across the globe).

Mr. Rogers Has a Community and a Neighborhood
We all watched him at least once when we were kids. Mr. Rogers is like the father we didn’t have or the uncle we wished we had. He was kind and he was funny. But more than that, he was honest, and kids knew he was honest about the things adults often lie to children about to ease pain or make it more palatable. He talked about things like death and divorce and other hard subjects.
