About Me
I like the fact that all of my professions are in fields that inspire, motivate, educate and improve the lives of others. I'm a registered nurse, college professor, and a writer. I love reading, writing, music, and doing whatever makes me feel good at any given time. I tend to be spontaneous at times, but before I make any major decisions I first ask God for direction, then ponder on the postives and negatives of the potential choices, and discuss options with my boyfriend, children, and close family members.

What If You Want Marriage, But He's Not Ready?

I'm sure that many women - young, middle-aged, or older, have faced this question in recent years. With all the controversy about venereal diseases, particulary the "BIG ONE" called HIV/AIDS, more and more women are leaning toward the idea of tying the knot. But what if you've met Prince Charming and you think he's all you would ever want in a man--nice, smart, considerate, "is working," (and hallelujah for this one), but doesn't want marriage at the moment? Would this make you feel insecure ? D… Continue

Is It Cheaper To Keep Him?

Why do wives stay married to husbands who cheat? I often ponder over the question now, although years ago I was once what I now call a victim of circumstance. I loved his dirty draws, but now can't understand to save my life why a woman would remain in a relationship with an unloyal spouse. At times I ask "what are their reasons?" I thought it was "love." I was stripped of all dignity, had low self-esteem, was unhappy, lonely, isolated, but in love. . . or so I thought. Could the reasons be they… Continue

Hello how you doing? My name is Khalilah Jordan and I just self published my first book "Loyal To The Game" Check it out its hot. It's an urban street book about Shytayjah Johnson AKA Tayjah who is from the streets of New York. She is known for being beautiful and having a glamorous life until suddenly her life takes a twist. She falls in love with a big-time drug dealer named Jason from Harlem, who is known for being a killer. But when he is put in a coma and his right-hand man, Rob, is put in a grave, everyone becomes a target—including Tayjah. When Tayjah’s little sister, Neka, gets killed and her mother becomes a crackhead, Tayjah and her brother, Shytek, takes the streets in their own hands, leaving the streets of New York with shootouts and dead bodies. They will do any and every thing to find the person who murdered their sister. Their hunt is put on hold when both of them get arrested for murder because someone close to them is snitching on them. Betrayal, jealousy, greed, envy, love, and drama are knocking on the door. Who will keep the oath they made to the streets by staying loyal? Who will fall? Makes you want to read some more? If so you can check my book out at www.Xlibris.com, www.BN.com, www.Borders.com and www.Amazon.com. Also check my website out at www.khalilahjordan.org Make sure you tell a friend. Trust, Believe And Have Faith
