Rachel's Bio

Hello to all of you talented, entrepreneurial spirited brothas and sistas who are making it happen! I am sure that you are wondering about this sista who thinks she is capable of giving relationship advice. Well, first and foremost, my name is Rachel Neal and I am a sista who has experienced just about everything that you have...

• I have been in love; lost love and heaven knows, I’ve chased love.
• I have shacked-up, been married and divorced.
• I have been celibate and I’ve been promiscuous.
• I have been bootycalled upon and I have called upon booty.
• I grew up with six real life sistas and two real life brothas.
• I am a solid girlfriend to my sistafriends, my manfriends as well as my boyfriends.
• I am a baby momma and I’ve experienced baby momma drama.
• I work hard and I also "attempt" to play hard.
• I AM YOU ....... The only difference is that I have been able to combine my expertise as a degreed Counselor with “real” life common sense.

Over the years, I’ve managed to turn this dating and marriage enigma into one long case study. By providing a straight forward approach to solving problems and paying close attention to feedback, I’ve been able to develop tried and true solutions to those problems that plague relationships.

At the onset of a relationship and during a relationship, many folks only allow their heart and that thing called “passion” to lead the way, instead of infusing common sense and logic. GOD did not give us that inner voice for nothing.

It is my hope that by listening to some common sense knowledge from me and wisdom from other bloggers, that you will learn to use a more logical approach to relationships and learn to listen to that inner voice. Passion is great, but adding a little logic makes the relationship or the relationship “hunt” even better.

So, come on ladies and gentleman! Join in! Freely express yourselves and get the advice you need to sustain your relationships or to remain cool while you are on the "prowl."

Please make sure you check out my UPCOMING advice columns in “Kraze” magazine … hitting stands in late August and on www.krazemag.com. You can also check me out mid of June on www.celebritymagonline.com.

I look forward to hearing from you soon! Be blessed ... Rachel
