The Braxtons: Lessons In Co-dependence.

Image
Braxton Family Values Season Five Promo Picture. Before I start this piece. Let me say, that I love and live for all that is Toni Braxton. I have been riding with her since her 1991-92 debut. You know, the one where she had her original nose. Yeah, that one. She was the 90's answer to Anita Baker. (Google her, if you don't know who she is.) Her sensuality, her sultriness and of course that deep, low Phyllis Hyman conaltro voice.  However, this piece is not about her voice. This post is about her family. Well, not her family per-se.' Because this isn't a personal piece. This is about something that I've noticed since the start of their show Braxton Family Values back in 2011. Now, when the show first came on the scene. I was all here for it. I thought. "Oh boy, we get to see what Toni Braxton is like when she's not singing." It was also nice to get to know more about Tamar (Who I had been a fan of since her first album which came out in 2...

That one time... I tried to turn nothing into something over and over and over.

It happen again. I misread the signs; no, I saw what I wanted to see and heard what I wanted to hear. Contrary to popular opinion, just because you have the sight doesn't mean that you're dating life or the person you're dating shines bright like a diamond. Hell, in most cases you can't see shit. I am no exception to this rule. We've all done it. Met someone, felt a “deep connection” say you're going to take things slow but in your head you're already picking out china and making the seating arrangements for the wedding of all weddings that is going to take place in two years max.  In my dating/love life. I always attracted men who looked the part (or I convinced myself they were fine but that's for another post.) said the right things but once I got past all that. Turns out they weren't shit, didn't have shit and didn't want shit. In other words emotionally or physically unavailable. Sure, they wanted to fuck but that was it; and...

The Nine of Cups. Upright.  This card has to do with everything emotional. The number is associated with fiery planet of mars. So in this case this card tells us that it's okay to go with what we feel. When it comes to love and relationships you may yourself or your partner either at odds emotionally or in total harmony. The term "In your feelings certainly applies with this card. Issues regarding trust may be at forefront today. Watch out for emotional ups and downs and most of all listen to your heart.

Looking in the mirror: codependent relationships

Good Morning Cubbers Happy Sunday! Here's something that this past weekend has taught me. Codependency on any level is not, I repeat not healthy. It is not your job to "fix" your partner. The only person you can "fix" or as I like to say, repair is yourself. If you're in a relationship (this even includes friendships) where you're doing ALL the work and you're thinking "I can fix them or they'll change" I've got news for you: You're fooling yourself. Instead of focusing on your partners, look in the mirror. That's right, look in the mirror, do the work to and start to repair yourself. Figure out why you attract these codependent relationships. Where does the root of it stem from? Is it loneliness? Low self esteem? Whatever it is, remember this: You are a queen/king and you deserve to rule your kingdom. Now get to work and sit on your throne and rule with all of YOUR power! Love, Leo Brown :) www.psychicleo.com
