Think Before You Sync!


Think Before You Sync!

Being on the dating scene in the 30s is totally different from being on the scene in your teens and early twenties. By now most people have come into their own, settled in their ways, established their beliefs, and have set the course for the remainder of their lives.

I must admit I have encountered so many different types of men. I've met professional, educated, and financially stable men, aspiring dreamers, and of course the late bloomer who still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up; and while most of their approaches were initially intriguing, I had to quickly realize that first impressions are not always what they seem.

While most relationships/friendships start off with the "oohs," "aghs," and lengthy late night conversations, it is easy to be overwhelmed and wrapped up in the excitement and possibility of a new relationship. I get it! The possibilities of something new and different is thrilling. I mean, who doesn't want LOVE?  For most women, love is the very essence of who she is, and the anticipation of having someone to give love to and receive love from can be blinding.  But the desire to rush into and become emotionally tied to someone, prematurely, can sometimes cause us to miss obvious cues and signs that indicate danger ahead; putting ourselves at risk for heartache, misery, and a possible stalker 👀. So today, I encourage you to "think before you sync!"

I always use a 3 month rule. It takes me less than three months of just casually speaking with a man to know that he is just not for me. Within that time frame, a person will not only tell you who they're "not," but they'll also show you who they "are!" And in the words of the late Dr. Maya Angelou "believe them the first time!"

As single men and women, especially 30 years and older, we don't have time to waste with the wrong person. Often times we feel that because a person is good to us that they're good for us. Truthfully, some people are sent into our lives for purposes other than relationships, and we mess up what could be a great business venture, friendship, etc., because we didn't think before we synced.

My life lesson is to embrace the wait. For me, this has meant walking away from not only "not so good men," but also letting "great men" go, that I knew would be good to me, so they could find the woman that would help them become greater. Has it been easy, no! But will it be worth it? Yes!

If I could give any advice, it would be to take your time, don't ignore the signs... after all the wining and dining, you don't want to end up whining and crying... take a moment, pause, and think before you sync. If it's real... If it's meant to be... It will!



My name is Tiffany LaMeia and I am dedicated to becoming a better me, encouraging you to be a better you, and helping you to understand that you are #ENOUGH!  -Have a Prosperous Day!

Can you cover me?

Can you cover me? In a world where relationship goals consist of having some one to "Netflix and Chill," I understand why men are confused about what women want and why women are afraid to tell a man what she wants. Men, your average woman of substance, seeking to be a wife, is not as concerned with how well you are in bed; she's focused on what's going on in your head.  While she might commit to sex in an effort to satisfy you, she really wants more.   She wants to know that you care and are concerned with the things that concern her.  She wants to know that in a world that is cold and cruel that you will be her safe place and her protector.   Many men have pursued me in vein thinking what I wanted was fame, finances, and fun times, when all I really need is to be covered! Yes!  That's it!  Can you cover me with your prayers and your support? Can you cover me with your heart and care for me as if I am the most valuable person in your w...

You Really Are #ENOUGH!

Y ou Really Are ENOUGH! In 2015, after experiencing a heart-breaking and life-changin g cycle of events, I found myself beaten, broken, and lost.  Then one morning, while getting ready for work, I heard God softly whisper in my ear these three words: “You Are Enough!”  At that time, I never imagined that my “I AM #ENOUGH” message once shared with my community and beyond, would spark so much buzz, interest, and self-empowerment. See for years, I lived in a box where I relied on external sources to validate and verify who I was.   I had completely relinquished my rights to be who God created me to be.  My happiness was centered on how other people treated me and my beauty was measured by the words that came from another man’s lips.  I became very hypocritical in my everyday living. I preached a message that I stopped believing, and I asked people to trust a God that I didn’t trust.  Why?  I equated GOD to man, and that was my very first mis...

Men Hurt Too!

Men Hurt Too! Ever wondered why women live longer than men?   Ever felt like you had to force your husband, father, son, or male family member to go to the hospital or doctor when you knew he was really bad sick?   Ever wondered why men wait until it is practically too late to seek medical help or psychological advice? Maybe you haven’t because the society we live in seldom takes time to focus on the emotional state of our men.   We spend countless hours coaching and mentoring our ladies on how to deal with pain, but when was the last time you saw a platform that helped men deal with theirs? I know it sounds absurd to think that a man, who is alive and breathing with blood running through his veins, will hurt if you stomp his toe or bleed if you cut him, but it happens. Why?   Because he’s human, and while he may never admit it, he not only feels physical pain, but emotional pain too.   Yep! That’s right! The cat is out the bag.   MEN HURT TOO! ...
