October Magic and Mayhem!!!
October Magic And Mayhem October has always been an interesting month for me. It can often be a rollercoaster of emotional space and life happenings. Once again 2017 swooped in and reminded me of how magical my world can be. The Highlights * Art trip * My birthday (omg my birthday!!!) * I sang in pub
So you know how I like words!!!

Compersion So, you know how I like words. I came across a new one recently. It perfectly describes a feeling I have experienced all of my life yet never had a word for. Language is incredibly important in the matters of love, s*x, and communication. (Hell, in life in general!) Our understanding of love

Fear You may or may not know this about me if you don't actually know me, but I have spent a great deal of my life managing fear. Fear is a peculiar thing. It is our own creation, but we often respond to it like it is actual danger. Fear 1. a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger,

Something Lighter I think I want to write about something s*xy this time. It's all been so damn emotional. I need something lighter, freer. Interrupted streams of consciousness, lists, and scattered thoughts over the week…. * Desire * Expression * Lust * Connection * Sensation

From A Place Of Gratitude From a Place of Gratitude That is how I like to experience the world. Okay. First step: define gratitude. grat·i·tude ˈɡradəˌt(y)o͞od/ noun the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. "she expressed her gratitude to the committee

20 Questions Questions are a peculiar space for me. While I love questions as a way to get to know someone or a way for them to get to know me, I absolutely abhor being questioned. Itelicits an almost immediate defensive space. Ask me about the things I like, how I feel, or what I think about something and

“Nobody wants that!”. . .and Other Absolutes “Nobody wants that!”. . .and Other Absolutes I am not a fan of absolutes. I especially dislike them when they refer to me. There are few things in this world that I feel really strongly about. My art, my time, my truth (well, that was mildly narcissistic)—okay, THE truth. I’ve found that i
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2017/7/30/im-back-1
I'm Back Do you ever find yourself letting life happen to you? Do you ever feel like you're not in the driver’s seat? Sometimes that feeling can be a beautiful one when you make room for life to just happen. Take a seat as a passenger and allow the wave to push you along. When the water is relative
Working on a story and I'm struggling with an idea. Can you have, see and appreciate the happiness in your life but just not be a happy person?
Just wanted to let y'all know I'm still here!!!
I Have Not Forgotten About You It has been three months since my last post here in the world of Love, S*x and Communication. There has been a lot of life happening and I have been taking notes along the way! We have a lot of catching up to do, so I hope those of you who have been following (and my new LSC friends) will forgive my…
Can there be a testimony without a test?
Happy New Year!!! I decided to do a special post to start off the year right.
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/12/25/whiskey-and-resolutions-1
Whiskey And Resolutions The new year is approaching and I am sure many of you have already started planning your resolutions. What will it be for 2016? Drink more ...(some of y'all need to loosen up) Whiskey and Ginger Beer just try it!!! Drink less ...(hey man slow your row! Last year was a little wild!) Have more s*x ...…
She's Just not that into you!!!
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/12/29/shes-just-not-that-into-youthe-short-and-sweet-chronicles
She’s Just Not That Into You(The Short and Sweet Chronicles) Yeah, I co-opted part of the title for this one 'cause it's just right for what has been on my mind. Let me know if y'all can relate. A few days ago, I was having a great talk with one of my closest friends. She turned to me and said, "David, there are only a few women in this world who can handle a…
It has been a bit since my last post. Life gets in the way but I am back on track. One day at a time! Enjoy
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/12/21/silent-agreements
Silent Agreements In every relationship, we make agreements. We tell one another what we like and what we don't. It is an important part of the process of building a foundation with a new partner. It starts in the beginning and slowly, whether we intend to or not, we continuously make agreements. Before we go on, tak…
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/10/24/swipe-right
Swipe Right You guessed it. This one is about Tinder. In case you are not familiar, Tinder is a mobile application for dating. The way it works is pretty simple. You download the application, upload up to six pictures and say a little something about yourself and/or what you're looking for. You can decide wheth…
I think you just might enjoy this one, I know I did!!!
So You Want To Have A Th*****me Where, oh where do I start with this one?!? I guess with how you even get to this point in the first place. Maybe it was a quietly kept desire you've had for some time and are just now at the point where you want to make it a reality. Or maybe it was suggested by a partner and you have recently de…
In my special birthday post, I list 20 things I know for sure about myself at 40! Sound off, LSC'ers...let me hear at least ONE thing you know for sure about who you are!
It is officially the hour of my birth. 40 is the new 40
40 Is The New Forty 40 is the new Forty. Or so I have decided to say. Mostly because it seems silly for me to think of it as anything else. I mean, I have never quite looked or acted my age—well, what people expect of someone my age, anyway. So I suppose it only makes sense that I have experienced and suffered throug…
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/9/16/conversations-of-discovery Conversations of Discovery
Conversations of Discovery We all have them and some of us truly live for these conversations. These are the conversations that reveal so much about the person on the other side and sometimes, we even get the bonus of learning a few things about ourselves. Most people throw these conversations in a generic box labeled “gettin…
I am in a heated debate about this, LSC'ers and I need your help!!!
In the "getting to know you" stage of a relationship, do you find that most people are really their true selves or do they tend to be whoever and however they think that woman or man wants them to be? Give me your feedback here! Who knows? I might quote you in my next post! 😉
Looking forward to the conversation!
Just a little peek into why I do what I do.
What is it about love and relationships that keeps us going in?
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/9/18/100-fail-rate-and-yet-we-still-try
100% Fail Rate And Yet We Still Try What is it about love and relationships that keeps us going in? That keeps us trying? In a conversation recently, a friend dropped a number on me that I had never previously considered: Every currently single person (who can say that have at least one ex) has a 100% fail rate. At first, hearing this…
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/8/5/when-they-bring-out-that-other-side-of-you
When They Call Out To That Other Side Of You Can I just tell you something? Most of these posts are inspired by a simple moment or a brief conversation. This usually leads to a title or notes that I return to later to write about in more detail. I try to write as close to that moment of inspiration as possible but sometimes, for my own sanity,…
What is it that attracts you?
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/8/25/creosapios*xual
Creosapios*xual Have you ever tried to figure out what it is that attracts you to a certain person or people? I get asked quite often, "What's your type?" For the longest time I didn't really know what my type was or if I even had one. My first instinct has always been to answer that question with a list of physica…
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/8/24/the-grammer-fairy-has-landed
The Grammer Fairy Has Landed A long time ago I realized that I write like I speak. While I have a pretty decent mastery of the english language. I am a very conversational person. When it comes to writing though, some of those comfortable things just dont translate well into the written word. Here enters a wonderful addition to…
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/6/5/compromise-for-what
Compromise for what?!? I jotted down the title of this post to keep me from forgetting. I was all inspired by the Eartha Kitt interview where she speaks directly on the topic of compromise. Check it out: Compromise for what?!? Most days, I wholeheartedly agree and, just like Eartha, I want to burst into a guttural lau…
Talking a bit about love s*x and communication at the Creativity of Black Health event this weekend.
Expectation:The Quickest Road To Disappointment We all have expectations and to be honest, they all need to be managed. It took me some time to realize this. I still struggle with it. There are mornings (like today) where I wake up filled with a desire to share something. Sometimes, that ‘something’ can be as simple as a thought that filled my he…
http://www.loves*xandcommunication.com/blog/2015/7/24/letting-go-and-being-let-go
Letting Go And Being Let Go This is one of the hard ones for me. I have never really been very good at letting go, nor am I so great at coping with being let go. I hold on. Even when I know something isn’t sustainable. Even when my heart and mind knows better. This can be detrimental. Not just for me, but to all of the other p…
