Michelle McKinney Hammond
{mosimage}A True DIVA
Recently, I had the great pleasure of meeting and interviewing Michelle McKinney Hammond in my home town, Chicago. Some of you may know her as the relationship expert for the single soul. But while there is no denying Michelle has a great insight and advice for the single woman, Michelle has wisdom that reaches the married and the unmarried, the young and old.

Being a woman of God for many years now, I find myself in a place in my marriage where I never thought I would be…it took me by surprise.
The Heart of the Home – Part II
By Pat Clardy
Flip-side…a woman after God’s own heart or The Heart of the Home…is like a divine nuclear power source of God’s love, mercy and grace…and like the human heart, she too provides her husband and her household with the life, oxygen, and nutrients that they need to function at their peak…all day, all night, and all the time.
