It was 2000 and I was a 35 single mother raising my beautiful teenage daughter; but I found myself feeling like some meat in a sea of piranhas when it came to dating in the 2000's. I am my mother's oldest child and my grandmother's oldest granddaughter so I did not have a lot of "healthy" men in my life to teach me about dating, love and relationships. While volunteering for a father's initiative here in Rochester, New York, I decided to compile a list of 70 questions a single woman wanted to ask from single men. Needless to say, I was schooled and educated about the misconception women have about men, love and dating. TO THE LADIES: Use this guide to gain understanding, knowledge, and wisdom about men and their views women, dating, and especially Ms. Right Now. TO THE FELLAS: If you believe that at least 8 out of 10 guys you know think like this, don't fight it. Just receive it with the understanding that goal in 2018 and beyond is to change the game for love, and especially for dates on rotation!

A collection of Southern Sayings, Traditions, Myths and Remedies passed down to us by families all across America

When I was a young adult experiencing the trials and tribulations of dating, my wise grandmother would always say when she didn't like the guy I was dating "If I Can't Be The Cake, Damn The Crumbs" and when it came down to her teaching me about the cycle of relationships, she would say "The First Month's Sugar, The Second Month's Pie, The Third Month Go To Hell, Damn You and Die!" In an effort of honoring the wisdom that was bestowed upon me by her, The Cake Chronicles 80/20 Healthy Relationship Challenge was developed. This guide chronicles the struggles women face in dating and establishing healthy, loving, long lasting relationships because Mrs. Debbie Cakes recognizes that women were never taught how to value themselves while at the same time, balancing the challenges of life and love. The Cake Chronicles Challenge uses the 80/20 Rule in a unique way that encourages women to define what they need to be happy or their 80% and what they are willing to compromise or their 20%, but you should never settle for less than your 80% because you will find yourself in a CRUMZY situation. Because like my wise grandmother would say, If You Can't Be The Cake, Don't Be The Crumz! A relationship is like a great cake, you have the right "ingredients". Cake Chronicles uses cake as a metaphor to help women define their different types of relationships; Cake Pops - When you're single, this is the time in your life to get in touch with who you are and what you need to be happy Cup Cake - You're ready to mingle. This is the time to evaluate your relationships with others. Cake - I'm married. This is the time when you and your husband should understand how to support one another. Crumzy Situation - Relationships where you are settling for less than what you need and deserve. But until you define your 80/20, it is difficult to see these relationships as "unhealthy". Icing - Things that look good, may taste good, but are just not good for you! Take the 80/20 Healthy Relationship Challenge to discover what you truly need to be happy and learn how to stop settling for less than you deserve.

When I was a young adult experiencing the trials and tribulations of dating, my wise grandmother Mrs. Violetter VanHoose would use jokes and sayings as her way of helping me navigate life challenges. As I got older and I started to appreciate and understand what she was trying to tell me, I decided to honor her by using her sayings to help others so the quote "If I Can't Be The Cake, I Won't Be The Crumz" is a domestic violence risk reduction healthy relationship concept that was derived from her wisdom, my life journey as a single mother waiting for Mr. Right while meeting Mr. Wrong, and my Psychology degree with a focus on Christian Counseling from Liberty University in 2016. The Cake Chronicles 80/20 Relationship Challenge encourages women to identify what they need to be happy or their 80% and what they are willing to compromise or their 20%. I use cake as a sweet metaphor to help people identify the tools and ingredients they need for a healthy, loving, long lasting relationship.
