Only a King...

"And He will give his Queen his Heart as long as she can handle it" CTH™

There are some really great men in this world. I've met quite a few good, bad, indifferent and a few I could've passed on. But none the less, I learned something from each of them. 

When I moved to Georgia, I was in a relationship and I never really got the chance to date or interact with any here. Boy have things changed, in a good way. 

Now that I'm older( I was freshly turning 30 my 1st year here), my likes and dislikes have totally changed where men are concerned. To ME, Southern men posses a different quality than Northern men. No tea nor shade, it's just different. 

At first, I didn't quite understand. I thought that Southern men were just slow. But as I began to learn about the Southern culture and re-evaluate my Northern upbringing it began to make sense. 

As I'm going into my 6th year transforming into a Southern Belle, I'm

impressed with the gentlemen I've encountered. Hardworking men, Bearded Men, Dedicated Fathers( and IF he has children, it's best that you have them to because this is a ride only a seasoned Mother can handle( IMO). His children are his prize and although he's interested in you, he's paying close attention to how you interact with your children AND his when and IF you meet them. And women, let's be clear, your King will NOT be your child's Uncle tread lightly with whom you allow into their lives as well), Frats, lovers of God, Respectable, Kind and let's face it, some are down right Handsome and easy on my eyes. 

Women, there are Kings out here. But they are not looking for bad Bi$&@es, they're looking for someone to match what they have. They're looking for a Woman who can handle her business, assist him with his, cook, clean, clean up well and take care of the empire they are building together. (Let's face it, material things are nice but who's really spending money on red bottoms? Not I.. DSW serves me well! Lol However, my handbag game is fierce, Ask About me.. Let me focus... Lol)

For many years, I thought I needed to have someone to validate me. I fooled myself. My journey of being single IS producing a Woman of Grace, Elegance and Character. My King will match my qualities and where I lack, I'm sure he'll hold it down ( and vs versa).. 

Today my Lovies, I challenge each of us to be kind to the opposite sex. We never know what's going on inside of his/ her four walls. Be kind and caring. You never know, that just might be your Forever Mate..
