"The Relationship Strategist" Give Singles Ways to AVOID Backsliding


Bestselling Author & Radio Personality
"The Relationship Strategist" Kenny Pugh

Kenny Pugh,“The Relationship Strategist” is the author of bestselling title, “Can You Do IT Standing Up? A Different Position on Relationships” (November 2011).


We've been working with the "Celibate, Committed & Courageous" eligible bachelor with his book, that has sold thousands of copy to date.  We recently sat down and spoke with Kenny about his message of promoting sexually purity during courtship.

With Kenny's insights in his latest book, he has advice for single men and women and pleading with them to not allow the approaching "V-Day" take them backsliding into unhealthy relationships.

Here are some insights:


·         Meet your partner at a volunteer event – Kenny states that having shared goals gives a relationship more of a foundation to build upon and instead of adding ‘notches’ to your belt, you can actually add ‘bricks’ that will make the possibilities for a long-term relationship more of a reality.

·         Wait to have sex – He is a single man that has practiced celibacy over the past several years in dating relationships. Kenny credits keeping sex absence from the relationship has given him a clearer picture of whether his love interest is a good match or a ‘good look’ and since sex is kept out of the equation, it has led to building great friendships thereby avoiding misleading someone once it’s determined there is nothing in common outside of the initial physical attraction.

·         Date Yourself – Kenny encourages singles to date themselves first and foremost to become the “Mr. or Ms. Right” they are seeking in someone else. Mr. Pugh points out in his book that there is often a lopsided ratio that says there are more women to a single man, therefore giving men the upper-hand, however, in his book, Pugh states, “the QUANTITY of women has NO correlation to the QUALITY of available women.” He concludes that men often find there are more unqualified women than they are quality women and if individuals focus on improving themselves first then they’ll be more likely to attract a quality mate that will lead to long-term benefits such as marriage.



As a matter-of-fact, you can put this into practice right now! Make sure to attend "Evening of Entertainment" in Atlanta with Kenny and friends at The Cup on February 14th! Tickets only $15 and includes a live remote of The Chat Kafe Show, Comedy, Music and Relationship Talk and includes light bites and cocktails compliments of Godiva Liqueur.


Kenny wishes to serve as a vessel of understanding in an era of disconnected, aimless, and broken relationships, and to soothe adversities of all forms, whether practical, relational, or spiritual. Through years of experience as a facilitator, workshop presenter, and keynote speaker at various conferences, ministry services, and for profit corporate events, Kenny has refined his sense of relationship success through the art of communication, willingness to be vulnerable and promoting sexual purity between dating couples.

It's called "Synergy"

Synergy - in general, may be defined as two or more agents working together to produce a result not obtainable by any of the agents independently.  Read it again and allow it to sink in...


I'm realizing when things happen effortlessly without coercion, long, drawn out conversations and unnecessary negotiations it is DIVINELY orchestrated or synergistic.  That's what life has been like at T.MORRISON Agency since our re-launch in January and boy, does it feel like cloud 9!
It also pays to properly utilize resources and relationships!  As a publicist that eats, sleeps and breathes PR, I learn more and more each day about relationships, resources and the powerful tool of connecting - that's one of the major components of success!


Because of the above, a woman I had the privilege of working with also happens to blog for Essence.com.  I know what her interests are and it just so happen that parenting expert and T.MORRISON Agency client, Dr. Bisa was a perfect fit, so we're looking forward to having Dr. Bisa's Q&A featured soon!


Also, we're gearing up for some exciting events and began our media relations campaign on a couple of them and started getting calls back from media outlets - I'm working on securing a TV feature for the client. I'm telling you, THIS is what I live for and on the flip-side, I had to reach out to a media outlet interested in a client's PR crisis and I'm telling you, wisdom is of the essence here!  Learning quite a lot on this side of the PR-coin!


So then it was off to some 'synergistic' connections with my newly hired business consultant with a specialty in IP (Intellectual Property) law and man, did she SCHOOL ME! *thanking God & Angels now!* on how to strategically move forward protecting all my assets to continue my win/win. This woman has IT!  We were meeting at a cute lounge called the Cupcake Lounge in Grant Park (pics below), the atmosphere is sexy and the Red Velvet cupcakes - OMG, I must have DIED and went to angel cake heaven, seriously!  Taj is sweet and treated us very well!


Today, was another day of effortless synergy from a powerful meeting with Producer, Ashia & Host, October Rose at Friday Girl TV to exchange and brainstorm over great ideas with all of our clients to digging into the voicemails with callbacks. Giving praises and honor to WHOM it all belongs to!  I am truly living life like it's golden and it feels wonderful to grow with tastemakers with a purpose and an understanding of how to bring great energy and passion to the table that naturally creates SYNERGY!

Valentine's Day Ideas/Suggestions from the T.Morrison Agency Client List

Well, we've had a great week of activity and I'm happy to have such a great client-base in place that keeps life EXCITING!

As the givers they are, my clients would be re-missed if I didn't take the time to share with you some of their ideas and suggestions to celebrate the LUV day!

Matchmaker Extraordinaire, Ming Gregory of Color Blind International can hardly contain her excitement as she counsels and consults couples on a regular basis. This "International Love Guru" is working on her break-out book all about dating from an Intentional perspective and has this to offer: "Ladies, if you are coupled up, then dare to go a little on the wild side and spice things up for Valentines Day!  Sure, flowers and candies are cute and you want them, but think in terms of "adventure" and give him a V-Day he'll never forget!"  And for the single ladies, "It's nothing wrong with pampering yourself!  There's plenty you can do, from taking yourself on a weekend getaway, dolo-solo or with the girlies, to creating a bath spa complete with rose petals, scented candles, bubble bath, music .....and.....well, if you have other things to throw in to make it all about you, then you go girl!" Stay tuned for Ms. Gregory's international debut coming SOON!

Filmmaker, Duane Dixon who's debut film, Rendezvous, will premiere in Atlanta with a private press screening on March 16th and a public premiere scheduled at the Midtown Arts Center on April 21st, encourages all - couples, singles, straight and gay to indulge in all the possibilities a Rendezvous could inquire. Dixon states, "Not all Rendezvous' are bad endings nor are they all infidelities."  He continues, "This Valentine's Day, make it a very special occasion, as a matter of fact, check out the Rendezvous trailer and let that 'tease' give you some ideas.  And, let us know what you came up with - you can do it anonymous on our Facebook page, we promise to keep your secrets."  Well, OK Mr. Dixon!

Model, Philanthropist and Fashion & Beauty Expert, Renee Knorr is off to the Grammy's with SAKIRI Vodka as they prepare to be the OFFICIAL VODKA SPONSOR for the 2nd Annual "Essentials" Gifitng Suite in LA for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards with an A-list Celebrity list that makes me a little jealous I'm not in the BUILDING! Renee shares, "I'm not sure who died and made others Kings/Queens in the field of judging others, but don't be so quick to call someone a name, or hate, or describe them to be who you thought they were.  We are all beautiful, all evolving and loved by an everlasting, Almighty God, so know you are beautiful and work on the inside as well as the outside, then Valentine's Day will always be special whether you are coupled or not."

And for the kiddies - TANKOH's "Mommy & Me" software safeguarding kids against online predators and child predators definitely is a way to love on your children over and over again. Parenting Expert, Dr. Bisa always have tips for how to make Valentine's Day relevant for the family and Karyn Pollard of POSH Boutique in Marietta, Georgia never passes up a moment to spread a little love - she's the mother of foster children and during our exciting brainstorming meeting today she gushed, "Gosh, if I were super rich (and she will be), I would take 20 kids to have lunch with Cinderella, get on a plane and take them all to Disney World, now that is living!" And last and certainly NOT LEAST, Mr. "Hello Beautiful" himself reminds us, it's not about what others can do for you, it's about what YOU can do for somebody else!  Don't you love that?!  I DO!

Happy Valentine's Day from the T.MORRISON Agency!  We love    S    P    R    E    A    D   I    N    G  the love!

This Week on The Dr. Andrea Show....13 Deadly Mistakes SMART Women Make in Relationships!




Tune in to "Empowered Living! With Dr. Andrea" with Special Guests including a


Woman who left her Abuser and a former Abuser





(Atlanta, D.C., & LA) - When pictures of Rhianna came out on the Internet showing her beautiful face tattered and bruised because the fist of boyfriend Chris Brown struck her in a violent attack, it left most of us in disbelief and shock - that yes, even the young and fabulous in Hollywood struggle with the same issues we deal with or talk about on a daily basis in our most intimate relationships. Yes, romantic relationships can be wonderful with the right person but as Dr. Andrea states, "A relationship with the wrong person can wreak havoc on a person's life leading to years of heartache, emotional/social damage, and even physical damage."
· It is estimated that 2 million to 4 million US women are assaulted by a domestic partner every year. Twelve million women (25% of the female population) will be abused in their lifetime.

· One study estimated that more than 3% (approximately 1.8 million) of women were severely assaulted by male partners or cohabitants over the course of a year, while other studies indicate the percentage of women experiencing dating violence, including sexual assault, physical violence, or verbal and emotional abuse, ranges as high as 65%
On Monday, July 13th at 1pm ET, Dr. Andrea will be discussing the 13 deadly relationship mistakes most smart women make in their quest to find a lifelong partner. She will be joined live by Kimberly, a woman who was abused in her first marriage of three years although the warning signs were blaring when she and her ex were only dating and "SP", a former abuser, will talk about why he found himself committing violence against women in his relationships. This timely and relevant show is not to be missed!

More Sex for Today's Seniors? New Book Reveals the Secrets to Sexual Bliss in the 'Golden Years'





Speaker/Author Phil Parker Releases His Third Title, Grandpa Does Grandma: The ABCs of Senior SexGrandpa Does Grandma: The ABCs of Senior Sex is just in time for Valentine's Day lovers (old and young) to continue expressing their love for the remaining days this year! Parker uses 26 tastefully done illustrations that complement each letter for your visual enjoyment.




With wit, humor and even a softer side (from a female's point of view), The ABCs of Senior Sex offers a sexual romp through the alphabet written not only for seniors but also for anyone who believes that older people aren't "doing it" anymore! Parker says, "This book is about acknowledging and confirming that we're never too old to enjoy our bodies and the pleasure we derive from exploring and fulfilling one another." He continues, "People's attitudes have changed about sex. The seniors of today are not the seniors of yesterday, trust me!"



Today's seniors report that they are having sex far more often and have more positive feelings associated with sex than their counterparts just 30 years ago. According to the study, from 1971 to 2000 the proportion of 70-year-olds reporting sexual intercourse increased, although interestingly, more married men say they are having sex than married women. Among married men, 68 percent were having sex, compared to 52 percent in 1971. Among married women, 56 percent were having sex, compared to 38 percent in the 1970s. Inspired in part by a visit to a local bookstore where he usually begins his day with friends, Parker was approached by a female employee in her early 20s with whom he normally exchanged morning pleasantries and was asked his age. When he replied he was going on 70, the young woman asked, "Now that you are almost 70 and don't have sex anymore, what do you do for excitement?"Parker continues, "She was serious! I quickly satisfied her curiosity and went about my business. It did, however, get me thinking. Does the majority of our younger generation believe that seniors don't have or enjoy sex?"
