A Minute with Mo

So occasionally, my co-workers and I have this 'hot topic' tradition where we discuss controversial, interesting, and just juicy and 'hot' stuff at work during lunch, lol. Today's topic happened to be 'Friends With Benefits' (FWB).  Just for a good laugh, I looked it up on Urban Dictionary  and this is what the experts had to say about what FWB means... Two friends who have a sexual relationship without being emotionally involved. Typically two good friends who have casual sex without a monogamous relationship or any kind of commitment A physically involved relationship, where both partners enjoy some comforts of sitting on the fence between serious relationship and simple friendship.   A healthy, fun sexual relationship between two people......Until one falls for the other, The friendship blows to pieces. And those two people find themselves worse off than they were before. Two very good friends that share in sexual acts with each other with no emot...

Just some quotes I came across in my inbox. Some inspirational, some thought provoking...either way, I thought many of these were worth sharing with you. :) Enjoy.... TRUTH:  Our scars should teach us how not to treat others. TRUTH:  LOVE is just a word…..until someone comes along and gives it meaning. REMINDER:  Second chances are gifts, not a hand-outs. Learn from your mistakes, try harder, and strive for something much better than you had before. REMEMBER:  Never let someone else's actions dictate your happiness.  Rise above… REMINDER:  Don’t exchange what you want the MOST, for what you want at the moment.  The devil will always make a plain rock, look like a diamond. TRUTH: Love when you're ready.....not when you're alone.   TRUTH:  Sometimes, In the process of trying to make everyone else happy...you can easily make yourself miserable.  Find yourself.  Balance… TRUTH:  Sometimes we don't need to ...

I feel like it's been ages since my last blog post. I've been writing just haven't published anything for you all to read, lol.  I am feeling good today compared to to the beginning of the week. Its been a difficult one emotionally.  I've done a lot of reflecting and thinking about where i am and where I wanna go.  I've also had time to consider where I was this time last year, and I'm so pleased with the progress that I've made with God's hand guiding me along the way.   It was less than two months ago in a previous post that I said things were changing soon  in regards to my transportation and employment and they really have! Two days after that post I purchased my new car. Her name is Roxie... check her out to the left... (shoutout to my linesister/almost blood sister, Trudy for naming her!) I absolutely love it. I've wanted a Nissan Rogue since 2008 when they first started making them and well now here she is. :)  Shortly after I got a new car ...

I received this in my email a few years ago when I was right around the 25 year old mark. And although time has passed, I can really relate with a few pieces of this article. I dont thinks its only around the age of 25, but maybe 25-32 when we're still 'figuring things out.'  Let me know what you think, if you agree or disagree.... ~Mo~ They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are a lot of things about yourself that you didn`t know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get hot and scared because you barely know where you are now. You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to you aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you do not realize is that they are rea...

Ahhhh... another sleepless night... random thoughts in my head. It's almost 1am and I'm up like I don't have to be at work in 7 hours....lol *sigh* where is the off switch for your thoughts when you need it? I know that all things happen for a reason but sometimes I wish we had the opportunity in life to envision how we want our lives to go and strategically place the people and things right where we want them to be.  Wouldn't that be nice? Only for a little while though. I imagine that would take out important life experiences and make life a lot less exciting but man it would be so much easier and less painful.  But life doesn't work that way. Realistically nothing will ever be perfect or happen just the way you want it.  We have to take the good with the bad, accept in life the things that we cant change and don't allow them to change us in a negative way. The way we respond to life experiences effects the journey we have along the way. Either you can com...

A lot of the TRUTHS (daily quotes I receive) have been geared toward relationships lately and I debated about posting them cause I didnt know how i felt about them just yet, lol.. But here you go... enjoy... and let me know what you think. TRUTH: Being with someone who will never hurt you is simply impossible. Get the next best thing…..Be with someone who's worth the pain. TRUTH: ”Single” and ”In a relationship” are simply just terms. Your heart determines your true status. TRUTH: Trust is like an eraser……….it gets smaller and smaller after every mistake.  TRUTH: Don't settle for the person you 'hope' will change...instead, find one you hope never will. TRUTH: True love heals the scars that untrue love left… TRUTH: Sometimes, it's not that you're walking away from someone………you're just walking back towards yourself. TRUTH: Learn how to be whole while you are single, so you don't end up being broken while you are together.  ~Mo~

I was talking to a friend and was posed the following question so I want to pass it along to my blog readers... I need you to respond to this one! What is your definition of:  getting to know someone/talking to someone dating dating exclusively relationship What is your take on them and what makes them different? How long does it take to go from one stage to the next? My response was: Actually all of that is kinda tricky. Its really easy to blur the lines/boundaries that separates each one of them. Getting to know someone or talking to someone to me falls in the same category as dating (not exclusive) unless both parties are aware that yall are just getting to know each other for the sake of being friends. BUT I would consider that just talking to someone, getting to know them...by phone, text, hanging out occasionally but still talking to other people would be considered getting to know someone and causally dating. Dating exclusively is a step up/level up where both parti...
