Newsflash! Trying to get back at someone by being mad at them for something they did to you is also hurting you. If you are mad at someone who doesn't even know that you've been holding a grudge against them then the only person who really cares is you. Holding on to that old baggage is keeping you from being the best Brown Queen you can be. Forgiving someone is not just letting them off the hook, it's relieving yourself from the all the stress that comes along with holding that grudge. Let it go for your sake and your sanity. Let that person go if things are that bad. Give them the boot with a nice big "forgiveness" on the bottom of it. If you've really let them go then rest easy because you no longer need to put so much effort into being mad.

SERVICE SATURDAY: Take A Stand Against Abuse
I have been hearing so much about abuse lately. It's been a combination of child abuse and domestic abuse against women. A child is almost rendered defenseless in most situations when they are being abused. It's a very touchy situation to question a parent about their choices of discipline. But if you know if someone is going too far, take the best approach to the situation as possible that will be most effective. Domestic abuse against women is a very common issue in our black communities and it should not be tolerated. If I could tell one victim who will actually listen, I would simply say "Leave." If you are a victim of domestic violence or abuse or know someone who is a victim, call The Hotline at 1800-799-SAFE(7233)
The National Domestic Violence Hotline creates access by providing 24-hour support through advocacy, safety planning, resources and hope to everyone affected by domestic violence. (from thehotline.org)

Music Monday: Next on the Royal Stage
Good evening, Brown Queens! I'm glad you could join me on this beautiful MUSIC MONDAY! I'm so excited to introduce these up-and-coming artists that you should know. I'm certain that their music will gain a place in your hearts and hopefully on your ipods. The following artists are next on the royal stage and on the BQC playlist!! Are you not entertained??
1.) Luke James
His gorgeous falsesetto is sure to carry his music from your ears straight to your hearts. He's a former member of r&b group, Luke and Q. You may remember their single "My turn" that came out some years ago. Queens, if his music doesn't win you over, his looks sure will.
2.) Elle Varner
Her sense of style is amazing. Her hip-hop infused first single, "Only wanna give it to you" was a complete smash and her second single "Refill" is climbing up the charts fast. I'm looking forward to more music from this artist. Her natural curls are always so perfect with so much volume. Isn't she such a gorgeous brown queen?
3.) Timothy Bloom
He completely stole my heart with his first single " 'Til the end of time". This single is a beautiful musical illustration of that strong black we all hope for. Timothy has a smooth soulful sound that you can't ignore. He's also very easy on the eye. That's always a plus.
***Playlist includes I Want You x Luke James, Refill x Elle Varner, 'Til The End Of Time x Timothy Bloom***
