A Grammy Song Worth Repeating

    By now, you’ve either seen or heard about the 52nd edition of the Grammy Awards. Don’t worry though, this piece isn’t designed to relive any of those moments as I’m sure you’ve had your fill. Instead, I wanted to focus on the song that won the award for “Best Female Pop Vocal.” The song was Beyonce’s “Halo,” and I have to admit that I’ve gained a newfound appreciation for it.

    My Life Goal: I’m currently working on my master’s degree in public health administration, so I’m optimistic about things professionally. But to me, that pales in comparison to my life goals of being a great wife, mother and example for young women.

    Why I’m Fly: I’m fly because God loves me, and there isn’t anyone in this world that can convince me otherwise. I’m fly because I have a great family, and a strong support system in place. I’m fly because I’m happy, healthy and loved. I’m fly because I’ve faced a lot of adversity in my life, but I’m still here and I’m still smiling.

I Choose You … I Promise I Do
I Choose You … I Promise I Do

I’ve decided to change up the approach to my Fly Poetry section today. Instead of featuring a traditional poem, I wanted to post the lyrics to a song that me to reads like beautiful poetry (Not to mention the fact that it now has a very special meaning to me.)

Searching For The Words

Searching For The Words

I’m pretty sure that I want to respond to this video … but I really don’t know what to say. Maybe I’ll have the words constructed by the time you finish watching it. For now though, I’ll remain speechless.

Embrace This Moment

It’s time to take an afternoon break from our day just to check in with each other. It is my sincere prayer that you’re all in a good mental space, and that you’re perfectly balanced, peaceful, and making the most out of your day.

5 Reasons Not To Admit You Cheated

5 Reasons Not To Admit You Cheated

It’s time to revisit last week’s scenario: You just woke up and found yourself in bed with someone other than your significant other. Having realized the gravity of your mistake, you now find yourself at a defining moral crossroad. Should you come clean and admit your indiscretion? Or should you keep it to yourself in hopes that the truth is never revealed.

Will I Ever Love?

Will I Ever Love?

Dear Fly Guy, As I write this letter, I’m one step away from completely giving up on love. I’m not sure what I hope to get out of writing this, but here I am just writing away. My problem is that I really don’t understand why I always end up meeting men who never want to be serious.

I Hate Thinking About You

I Hate Thinking About You

During my time as The Fly Guy, I’ve been fortunate enough to learn many invaluable lessons. The most important of which is this: People don’t always want love advice. Sometimes, they just want to be left to their feelings. This typically happens during a painful breakup. And while kind words and deeds occasionally help, there’s only so many times that a person wants to hear, “everything will be ok.”

Do Men Like Bitches?

Do Men Like Bitches?

Hey Fly Guy, I have more of a comment than a question. I just don’t understand why some women think that men want to settle down with someone who acts like a bitch? Who started that rumor, because it’s completely wrong.

Maximizing The Moments Of Life

Maximizing The Moments Of Life

I had a dream last night that a close family member passed away. The imagery was so vivid that my heart literally ached for hours after I woke up. It was almost as if my body actually believed the death had occurred. As I pulled myself out of the bed, I began to reflect on how precious life truly is, and how every moment that passes is one that will never be regained.

The Top 5 Reasons To Admit You Cheated

Here’s the scenario: You woke up this morning lying next to someone other than your significant other. Now your first thoughts were probably somewhere along the lines of: “F@*K!!!! … What am I doing here??? And how did my underwear get stuck in the ceiling fan???” (Hey, it happens.)
