After-school activities present opportunities for your children to develop their goal-setting skills. Most extracurricular activities involve reaching or achieving a goal, whether it be the lead actor in the school play, winning the state championship or coming in first place in the science fair. As a result, these activities help encourage students to work toward achieving those goals, while having fun at the same time. Another benefit to after-school activities is academic excellence and we will talk about the 8 reasons to get your children involved and why it's well worth the effort. Special guest is Mark Sills, founder of Urban Youth, Inc., which is celebrating its 20th year.  Mark is the son of former Wilmington Mayor, Jim Sills and is an alumnus of the H.

Have you ever experienced jealousy? Has it ever taken over? Do you know where it comes from? Jealousy is a complex emotion that encompasses feelings ranging from fear of abandonment to rage and humiliation. Jealousy strikes both men and women and is most typically aroused when a person perceives a threat to a valued relationship from a third party. The threat may be real or perceived. It is not limited to romantic relationships but also can arise among siblings competing for parental attention or in friendships. Jealousy is distinguished from envy in that jealousy always involves a third party seen as a rival for affection. Envy occurs between two people and is best summed up as "I want what you have."  Although jealousy is a painful emotional experience, evolutionary psychologists regard it not as an emotion to be suppressed but as one to heed—it is a signal, a wake-up call, that a valued relationship is in danger and steps need to be taken to regain the affection of one's mate or friend. In this regard, jea

Homecomings are a time when school faculty, students, and alumni get together to show their school pride. College’s homecoming can be rewarding and memorable and with its light, no-pressure environment networking with alumni can prove to be advantageous to a student's future. Homecoming at HBCUs is absolutely epic and even more special. HBCUs compete to outdo each other with celebrity appearances, fashion shows, amazing concerts, step shows, and so much more. Homecoming weekend is a special time for alumni, however, it can be difficult to navigate when your (adult) child is attending your alma mater.  How do you make it fun for everyone with embarrassing your student or yourself?  Listen in as we discuss a few do's and don'ts as well as the many benefits of attending your homecoming. Special guests are members of Friends Forever DSU - Delaware State University, my alma mater, Class of '83 and we'll talk about the many activities planned for DelState's 2017 Homecoming.    

That would NEVER happen to me! Then it does. In the beginning, it is mostly amazing, if it is not amazing it is just positive. What am I talking about? Mental and physical domestic abuse. Weeks, months, sometimes years go by and the relationship seems normal. However, you did see a sign here and there but ignored it. If no sign was present he or she did not feel threatened so their representative stayed complacent UNTIL you became a threat or they felt threatened. You are now a mirrored image of their insecurity and their fear. Their representative wants to vacate, it is exhausting keeping their true self at bay especially after having sex. Some humans have an addictive personality. Some do not even love or like the other person, but they do not want to be alone or start over. Some people only want the "idea" of you and not actually you. Some are so good they can keep up pretenses until you marry them, get pregnant, have their child, get life insurance etc. Then, you realize YOU were "Sleeping With The Enemy"

Empty nest syndrome refers to feelings of depression, sadness, and, or grief experienced by parents and caregivers after children come of age and leave their childhood homes.  This may occur when children go off to college or get married. Empty nest syndrome is not a clinical diagnosis, but rather describes a transition period in which many people experience feelings of loneliness or loss.   If you are experiencing empty nest syndrome, are feeling distressed because you worry your life has lost meaning, or if you are crying excessively and are so sad that you don't want to see friends or go to work, you should consider seeking professional help. On this Podcast, my special guest, Audris Dickerson, is a Certified Life Coach and is certified in supervision and leadership will give us some tips on dealing with Empty Nest Syndrome as she too has experienced it when her own kids left the nest.

Today at 8 pm on Love Is power we are going to discuss the topic, Law of Attraction.  The Law of attraction is the ability to attract into our lives whatever we are focusing on. It is believed that regardless of age, nationality or religious belief, we are all susceptible to the laws which govern the Universe – one of which is the Law of Attraction. It is the Law of Attraction which uses the power of the mind to translate whatever is in our thoughts and materialize them into reality. In basic terms, all thoughts turn into things eventually. If you focus on negative doom and gloom you will remain under that cloud. If you focus on positive thoughts and have goals that you aim to achieve you will find a way to achieve them with massive action. I have been able to witness this in my life first hand in many areas, time and time again. It is my honor to share with you what I know and have witnessed. Together we can take it to another level.

ENCORE PRESENTATION WITH GUEST JONATHAN HARRIS In the age of Smartphones and eReaders, does reading from digital devices interfere with the intuitive navigation of text and inhibit students from concentrating fully?  Does reading from the computer or tablet make it easier for some students to become more easily distracted and to multitask?  For many educators, these habits raise concern about the implications for academic learning and retention.   On this Podcast, Jonathon and I discussed all of this and more on Social Media Sunday with the Delaware Blogger.

On this Podcast, my special guest  Nicolle Surratte and I are going to discuss the role of the caregivers of cancer patients. Caregiving can be both rewarding and challenging and most importantly, caregivers should remember to take care of themselves while providing care for the person with cancer. There are many ways to be a caregiver. For some, it may mean providing 24-hour care. For others, it may mean researching medical information or arranging for help. Each situation is different, and no one scenario applies to all people with cancer and their families. Thanks to innovations in Medicaid and the Department of Veterans Affairs, older adults and people with disabilities are designing their own in-home care programs and hiring family members (and, in rare cases, spouses). There's still a long way to go, though.  For more information, check the AARP.org website.  

Reason, Season or Lifetime... Oftentimes, relationships come in for a Reason…. to learn something new, to open a doorway, to gain insight, to direct you to another part of your path or purpose. They are there simply for a reason… and once that reason is served, they disappear, fall away, or feel out of alignment… sometimes for no apparent reason. Other times, relationships come in for a Season…. to bring you a new awareness, new love, new life and new lessons. These season relationships are usually a bit longer, and with that are often harder to let go of or release, unless of course, you recognize they are here just for a season. Once the season is over, it is time to go, to move on. No wrongdoing, again, the season is simply over.. and when one season is over, a new season always follows. Yet, others are for a Lifetime. Lifetime relationships last a lifetime. The interesting things about lifetime relationships I think is that often we assume those are family relationships, and they can be, but they aren’
