SBM Fam, 2012 was an amazing year for SBM. By the time you read this, it’ll most likely be 2013; but we didn’t want to go out without reflecting on the past year. One thing we’d like to emphasize is how grateful we are for your support. Whether it’s been one week or one year, [...]
In reading the post I shared on Thursday about Paul Carrick Brunson’s 2012, I was reminded to reflect on my own. There was something different about this year. Something scary. I realized I had kids. Yes, plural. Two were born in 2008. The next in 2011. The third and fourth in 2012. I tried to [...]
I was on Paul Carrick Brunson‘s site yesterday and came across a potent article titled “How I Cured My Emptiness.” For those unfamiliar with Paul, he’s a certified Life and Relationship Coach, as well as a Professional Matchmaker. I first found out about him via a comment he left on SBM circa late 2009, when [...]
I came across a post titled “10 Things That Love Isn’t” a few days ago from Rey over at Seriously Maybe. Since it’s a good read, I wanted to share it with the SBM fam. Check out some of the main points below: It’s hard to define love. I was trying to think of a [...]

In honor of the redundancy of the day, the homie Michele from Black ‘n Bougie wrote a post on 12 relationship truths you need to know. She in no way claims to be a relationship expert, but life teaches you a lot about the game of love (and war). Here are a few points from [...]
“How you feel about yourself when you are in the relationship is perhaps the strongest predictor of whether you should stay in it.” One of the many great lines from this piece titled “3 Essential Signs of a Good Partner,” by Maya Ackerman over at The Change Blog. She opens the article talking about something [...]
Remember Rebecca Black’s “Friday” song? Yeah, this video is worse than that. I made it further through 2 squirrels 1 nut (code name for a video that’ll get the site blocked if I type it) than I did “Spartan High School Style,” which conveys an underwhelming sense of school spirit…even though they’re trying. Retro-Yeezy would [...]
What would you do if you won ten million dollars? Seems like such a silly question doesn’t it? At the very least, it’s a hypothetical that’ll make you yearn for better days, where all you have to do is log into your bank account to turn a sh*tty day into a pot of gold. But [...]
While taking a break at the plantation, I came across a great read in the archives of BrownSista.com. It’s a woman’s perspective on the games men play, with some insider info on why men are so quick to label women as “crazy.” I’m sure both men and women can relate to this article. Take a few [...]
