Give Thanks

I want to thank you, Lord, for life and all that's in it. Thank you for the day and for the hour, and the minute. - Dr. Maya Angelou 

Sometimes you have to show people that they are appreciated... To let them know that what they are doing, their presence, input and support are all noticed...
I love writing down my thoughts and sharing them with my followers.  Table for One could not exist without you!  So for those of you who have read only one post... Those of you who have read every single entry... And everyone in between, I truly love and appreciate you for all of your support!
To my friends... Maria, Ashley A., Sheena, and last but not least Brandi I love you!!! I talked to all of you about Table for One when it was just an idea... and all of you told me to GO FOR IT!!! I'm super grateful for your support, honesty and encouragement because without you I would've never had the guts to do this!! So thanks!
Thanks to my family, who reads my blog weekly (even when you don't want to)… I'm grateful! To my mother who believes I am the best writer in the world... You are appreciated.
For my guest writers: Nakita, Michele and Brandi your input was much needed, so thanks a bunch for taking time out of your very busy schedules to write excellent posts for Table for One...
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it. - Ralph Marston
With all my heart, Thank You

"If you're really a prince, I'll marry you..."

One of my favorite movies in the entire world is “Coming to America”.   It’s a side-splitting comedy about an African prince who goes to New York in hopes of finding a bride, so he won’t have to marry the princess his parents have chosen for him.   In the end, he finds love and they live happily ever after…O f course ! Isn’t that what happens in the movies?   Girl meets Boy…Girl falls in love…Boy falls too (eventually)… and they live happily ever after!   Movies have had me thinking this is what my life would be like as an adult!   Well they damn sure had me fooled!   It’s definitely not how my life has played out. I always thought I’d be married and done having children before I turned 30… Well, I’m pretty close to 30 and that has yet to happen.   In fact, I don’t see it anywhere in my near future.   I don’t see my childhood prediction coming into fruition anytime soon.   While dating, it’s been super difficult to encounter a man who actually wants to be in a monogamous relat

Weddings & Babies... Weddings & Babies...

All around me, there is love & life!   I am so happy for all of my friends who have found love and are adding to their families.   It’s no secret that my mother, the hopeless romantic is ready for me to have a baby.   In fact, last Tuesday (my birthday) we had “the talk” for the 100 th time.   She explained that she is not going to wait much longer for me to find the “man of my dreams” and get married!   I only have two more years to get pregnant and have a baby!   LOL!   She is very serious about this… And don’t get me wrong, I would like to have children, but in my own way… She is not tryna hear that at all!   There are certain things I expected to happen in my life and although things haven’t quite turned out like I envisioned, I have to live with what I’ve got.   How do you think I feel?   With the exception of a select few, almost all of my friends are currently in love, married, engaged, or pregnant!   And I am very happy for them, but I can’t help but think, “I wish that

A Forgiving Heart

Are you forgiving?   I mean really, truly forgiving?   I know I try to be, but only when it’s granted. It actually takes a lot of strength to be forgiving; to take your feelings out of a situation and forgive the person who has wronged, hurt, angered, or WHATEVERED (yes, I made up a word) you!   I’m pretty sure it all boils down to the bigger situation and if it’s actually worth it.   But, that’s a personal choice. Before you decide to forgive someone, do you come up with grounds for whether or not they should be forgiven or is it a choice you make, regardless of their reasoning?   I, for one, am a pretty good judge of a meaningful apology and that’s usually all it takes.   I mean, we are talking about minor, non-life changing, silly, but still significant situations that can be corrected.   I mean, who are we to judge?   The most unforgiving people usually are in the wrong or in wrong situations themselves.   I wonder why that is? I wonder where I would be in my life if God didn’
