Mama E is a personal coach, for 18-35 year old individuals, who can help you take a real look at your relationships and other life issues. Are you getting the results you want from the choices which you're making? Do you need someone that you can talk to? (That is, with the goal being to find a solution!) Many times, we want to merely talk about the problem, but make no steps toward solving the problem.
The other mistake that is often made is this: seeking guidance from contemporaries or peers. If one only gets the perspectives of persons with the same level of experience or value systems as himself, it it likely that the conclusion will be slanted or one-sided.Mama E brings a different dimension to life's challenges, because she has lived it. Her expertise is a combination of formal training (BA degree in Sociology), practical background (trainer, teacher, writer & lecturer), and good, old-fashioned mother-wit.
Married for over 30 years, the mother of three adult children, and proud grandmother of three, Mama E brings an uncanny ability to convey an intuitive and common sense approach to life and relationships.We will explore together some of the "tough stuff" that life throws at you. So stay tuned for relevant and interesting dialogue with MAMA E.

Thank you very much for your message. You have done a wonderful job. Talk to you soon...Jacqueline
I'm so very proud of you! You are a wealth of knowledge and I couldn't be happier that others get to experience what I've had for 32 yrs...the loving support, wisdom having, truth speaking, soft spoken, yet loudly heard, caring heart of an amazing mother.
It would be selfish to keep you to myself, so I pray that this blog reaches millions so that questions can be answered and pains erased.
With all my love,
Your Daughter
Mama E...you are the bomb! To know you is to love you! Keep up the good work! You have so much to give and share and you do it in such a manner that only "you" can. Where was Mom when I needed her?...tina
I saw your T.v. show for the first time today and I was amazed on what knowledge you have. I have a few issues that i would like to addres and if you can help me please feel free to do so.I am a 32 year divorced mother of 4.
1. The mother that I have is by all the most decieving, lying troblemaker on this planet. To male a long story short (what has actually stopped me from loving her and respecting her is that She ask if should claim 2 of my kids on her tax return and she would pay me for them and when she recievd her money she told me to die, go to hell, I am not giving S@@t. This is a woman who is sppose to be aved and teaches a sunday school class. Her mouth is like a open sore full of infection.
2. I am a 32 year mother of 4 I was going to a church and one of the elders in the church approached me and we started talking over the phone, nothing serious, but we did kiss and was semi intimate, we did not go all the way but was vewry close. Anyway my kids liked him and I really thought that he was different and we would be good together. every time I called him after we made out he would say I'll call you back or not answer. He forgot my b-day and no show for xmas. i feel used and disappointed that I got so open with him and he was some one that I respected and my kids had respect for him.Even before I stop going to this church he wold not even reconized that I existed only on phone calls. So I just feel I was a fool. I was married, he was the first date I had in 5 years and i just feel so Dump to have let him into my life.
3.I am starting my business and would like to know how did you get your start. What steps did you take? If you can help me I would love to hear from you.
I just feel so lonely and I have noone that I can call on in the earthly ream to talk to . My life I know God has a calling on but some of the choices that I am making are not adding up, and I have to much atstake to just let the devil win. I hope to here from you soon. Thaks for a lisening ear.
Hi Ms D,
Thank you for watching the tv show and for posting your thoughts. I took a few days to think about your concerns because I never want to just respond out of emotions. Your life is too important to me to give you advice based on emotions.
First of all, I consider the bible to be the final authority on everything that concerns us. So in regards to your relationship with your mother, you must honor her. This doesn't mean that you must agree with her, or her actions. However, the bible says that whatever you sow, you will reap. Since you have children, be careful not to do things to your mother, that you will have to face from your children.
I realize that you feel hurt and perhaps disappointed in her, but try to let go of the hurt of the past; believe me, you'll feel better. We can't change another person, but we can work on ourselves. After all, you are the only one that you will have to give an account for. OK?
As for your encounter with the Elder from the church: I am so sorry that you feel "dumped". I think that when we don't get what we expect from relationships, it is human to feel like we have been "wronged". Perhaps what made this so painful, is that you did not receive an explanation as to why the man stopped calling. There was no real closure, so you were left wondering"what happened?". If it is too late for you to get answers, I'm afraid that I'd have to say let it be a stepping stone to your future. We are constantly learning-even from our mistakes.
Love is still a good thing! Ask God to send you someone who will love and respect you. In the meantime, you love and respect YOURSELF. When you do, it's like a magnet that draws people to you.
You mentioned that you "Used" to go to this church. Does this mean that you have left God, or did you just find another place to worship? Remember that God didn't betray you, so don't punish him for what a human being did.(Humans can always fail us). God is still our best friend, especially when we have been let down.
You're right that there is a calling on your life. All of us are here to do specific things. We must seek God to find out our purpose, and then put all of our energy into accoplishing it. One of the ways to avoid the lonely times, is to put more energy into seeking and doing God's will for your life.
We can talk privately about how I started in business, and I'll gladly share resources that might be of help to you. Email me at inhimministries@comcast.net
Hold your head up,
Mama E
Hi everybody, it's Mama E. Hope you're having a great day.
If you're in the Jacksonville, Florida area, and have access to Comcast Cable TV, I host a local show which is aired every Sunday morning at 10:00 AM. I invite you to tune in.
As we approach Valentine's Day, let's talk today about Love. Often our idea of what love is comes from what Celebrities say or do. Sometimes, we get opinion of the definition of love from our friends and associates, (who probably don't know anymore than you). But I suggest that we look at the original lover, in order to find out what love is. The originator of love is God;the bible actually says that He IS love.
When we see people jumping in and out of relationships, or having intimate associations with multiple people, it is apparent that what we demonstrate is not love. It might be fear of being alone. Maybe, it's mere sexual pleasure, or maybe we boost our egos by having other people infatuated with us. Whatever the reason, it's not love.
Love is sacrificial! I know! This is not what you want to hear, but that's what God did for us, and if we're to expect the real, long-lasting benefits of love, it starts with giving up your wants/needs to meet the wants/needs of another.
Love is also commitment. It means that I'm not taking the easy way out. I'm not going to change my mind because a better offer comes along. Note this: there will always be someone smarter, prettier, richer, in better shape, etc. If you are swayed by these exterior, superficial attributes, you will live your life totally unfulfilled because you will always be looking for someone or something else. That's instability!
Love is a decision. It is not "falling in love". What is that? To fall- sounds like you tripped over something. :-)
When you make a decision to do something, it didn't just happen. For instance, if you made a decision to go to work today, you are not surprised that you're seated at your desk.You set the clock, you got out of bed, got dressed, got in the car, etc. You did all that was neccesary to get there. That's what happens when a decision has been made.
Do you get my point? Decide to love him/her. Then do everything neccesary to live up to the decision. Flowers are nice, Going out to dinner is great, and diamonds are a girl's best friend LOL
But may I suggest that you do more than give her/him a card or a gift? Get information! What do I mean? Learn what it takes to have a good relationship: invest in books, tapes, seminars, or classes. Many times we fail because we don't have the skills to succeed.
God says that "My people perish for lack of knowledge". Resources are all around you. Promise me that you'll take advantage of them, and I promise you that it will make all the difference.
Talk to you next time,
Mama E

Hi Mama E. I'm not in the Jaksonville area but learned about your website from your book. Thank you for being so open to share the "good news". I am a married mother of multiple children. For the most part, I am pleased with my life. God has blessed me. However, there are times when I struggle with this one issue, my husband's attempt to control me. Currently, I am a full time wife and mom. It has been a tremendous blessing to me and to my family for me to quit working and be at home. In order to do that, I gave up a successful career making well over $70K/yr. In addition, I withdrew my life savings from my 401K to pay off debt. Well now that I am totally dependent on my husband's income he complains about every dime that I spend. I am not an extravagant person. I do not get my nails done, I do not buy clothes for myself (I still wear clothes that I wore in high school and I am 35 yrs old). All of my spending centers around the children's needs or beautifying our home. In addition he expects me to have relaxed hair yet he doesn't give me enough money to go to the hair salon regularly to keep it up. Yet he complains about me wearing a bun most of the time. He expects the house to be spotless yet we have a 5yr old (that I home school) and a 1 yr old who's with me all day. I've asked him if I can get a part-time job for a little extra spending money and he flat out said "no"! In the meantime he buys whatever he wants like recently a new laptop computer and recreational equipment costing well over $3000. I began reading your book a few days ago, which is wonderful by the way! The part that stuck out to me was about how your mom was basically a "superwoman". I want to be that too, but at the same time I want to be able to feel good about who I am by going to get my hair done occasionally or even some mascara, whatever. I don't feel as though I am asking for much but maybe I am. Please advise.....
