Marshay’s Reading Blog #4:
Growing up TGIF on ABC was a thing for my family watching Hanging with Mr Cooper, Full House, Boy Meets World and of course Family Matters. I couldn’t wait to see Steve Urkel turn into Stefan Urquelle lol. Now that I’m older my 4-year-old and I still binge-watch Family Matters now and then. Family Matters is essential in a black family household among many other 80s and 90s black sitcoms. Hey, these days I’ll take Steve Urkel's love that he had for Laura. But I know it was just a show.
When my brother told me that Jaleel White wrote a memoir I had to read it but I honestly debated based on the reviews I saw: he is arrogant in the book, they see why Family Matters ended, etc. But like I said Family Matters was big in my childhood and I didn't want that messed up, cause a book can do that as I've seen from reading Porsha Williams' book. I just see a gold digger in her now and even more so with this divorce settlement. But I'm not going with what they say cause a lot of people really hate on Urkel in real life and I'm be the judge for myself on Jaleel White's memoir… So let me begin 🤍📖 I’ll be back!
-“Laura, I know I’m not worthy of you but I just can’t help loving you. It’s like wanting to touch a star— you know you’ll never reach it, but you’ve just gotta keep trying.”
-Steve Urkel (Family Matters)
I’m give this book a 6.5 out of 10 I am a little in different on reading this book. I can see why reviews read he is arrogant or self absorbed. But I can also see really hurt and wounds he has from his life as Steve Urkel. And this is me saying this and I’m not even finish with the book, I haven’t made it to the photos he inserted in the book. I know I couldn’t be a child actor and probably not even an adult actor. The business is not only messy and dirty but without even known it or asking for it your personal life as well. So many people took advantage of him, as we call it these was jealous and envious of him and it wasn’t even kids it was grown adults. I’m not even finish reading the book; not even to the photos to the half way mark of the book, and already how many people have hurt him as a child and he not even know it’s hurt at the time. He been used for basketball games and then can’t even play in a high school basketball game cause he was on tv (crazy work & they should be ashamed if they have morals). He was just doing his job as his parents planned so he can one day pay for college while just wanting to be a teenager off screen. Which yes is most childhood actors but his parents kept him grounded and reminded him it was a job he was Jaleel at the end of it all respect, grades and working hard was still morals for him. They ain’t play nothing lesson lol, But let me keep reading and see if my views change. And, Hey a fun fact (cause I didn’t know) Family Matters was a spin off of Perfect Strangers based on Harriette Winslow (Jo Marie Payton aka Suga Mama).
To Chapter 7 and I think I’m regretting reading this book. But we shall see let me keep reading!!
Okay it’s 10:49pm on September 10th, 2025 and baby I could have read another book for the month of August! I pushed through til the end and yes I still give this book at 6/6.5 out of 10. He states in the last chapter of his book he could be stuck on shoulda, coulda, woulda but sir you are and thats just what this book is. A lot of putting people out there for what he felt they did wrong to him from the start of Family Matters til now I’m say. I will not take from him that he was stuck in the role of Urkel or some of the things he shared in the book was wrong cause they were. Taking advantage of a child’s fame for your own personal or family gain is very bold. The title fits the story line and the anger he let out in the book, he is very bitter and hurt from his experience of begin Urkel. Ummm does this give a different out look on him, not really I hope he truly heal cause that can be another reason its stopping him from been nothing more than Urkel. Cause yes a lot of people see him as Urkel but he need to accept the good Urkel was not a bad guy, and these days a guy that some of us wish we knew, had around us or even wish they could of been.
I wish more positive experiences, reflects and memories were shared. This was just a tell all of what you did to me Memoir. I would have probably enjoyed more of learning his life and how Urkel became and grew into a household name even though we already know that if you are a true Family Matters fan. Would I suggest this book to a friend, I’m sorry NO. Would I read this book again, NO. Is this one of my top books for 2025, NO. Wasn’t a bad but book but definitely wasn’t what I expected it to be and how it was described to be. I just hope that he one he truly let go and embrace that its how life works its good, bad, ugly and sometimes worse but dont let it make him or take that much control over him.
So read at your own risk, cause I could of read something else… JUST BEEN HONEST BABES.

Marshay’s Reading Is BACK 🩷📚
- “Our doubts are traitors and cause us to miss the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt.”
- William Shakespeare
Social Media is one hell of a drug, but self doubt is even a bigger one. Sadly it’s something that I do a lot feeling like with everything that I know I'm great is not enough or good enough; from my monthly reading blog to the way I do home decor and to so much more that I love and would like to put out there. But 2025 one of my many goals was to step out on faith, be bold and brave that no matter how much doubt is in my head I am to COMPLETE EACH & EVERYTHING I set my mind, heart, time and funds too!! So I have said it many of times I’m Back and now I'm saying I’M BACK, but back to stay! 🩷 Marshay’s Reading is BACK!! 🩶📚
I reviewed my past postings (yes just my two little reviews) and learned how I think I can make my reviews better, but also blog about them. Counting doing a rating scale 1-10 of each book (from 10 of course highly recommend). Opening up a books suggestions of any genre, also adding the books my daughter and I read together and so much more. Hopefully I can get my book blog some where and one day it goes some where (even if it reaches 10 people I’m grateful and it went some where) but right now let me just focus on completing my monthly reading blogs. 🩷 The monthly of August so far I’ve been reading the biography of Jaleel White (but we know him as Urkel) and even brought back an elementary or junior (for me) classic Harry Potter the first book. So please rejoin me through this journey and let’s complete these 2025 Goals; Only 4 Months and 3 Weeks til 2026 🩶
Also don't forget to join me and if you have read one of my monthly readings let me know your thoughts and let’s discuss! 🩷

Marshay’s Reading Blog #2:
“Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.”
-Proverbs 16:24 🤍
This months reading blog, I have had a lot of doubting on posting this reading blog. For so many reasons: which I would address in a blog coming soon. I really doubt myself a lot when it come to my month readings and doing a blog or review. But for now here is Julys monthing reading blog book #1. Hope you enjoy and if you read the book please leave your thoughts, take aways and etc from your reading! -xoxo-
This month’s blog is different we did 2 readings this month by the author and speaker Stephan Labossiere himself. We going to start with the first book “How To Get A Man To Cherish You (If You’re His Wife/ A No-Nonsense Guide for Every Wife or Bride to Be)”. I know what your thinking she not a wife or a wife-to-be. No, I’m not and honestly I am not looking or wanting to be a wifeat this point in life or really later in life. But I recently decided to open myself up again to try to appreciate and possibly love the correct man correctly. I think this can help me with that journey even with out been a wife and due to me believing in what you want to become you surround yourself with it whether it's people, sounds, or even a good reading. you'll learn something and can prepare yourself for that chapter when it comes. And who knows regardless of what you want at this time might not be for me and exactly what you don't want might be the next steps God has for you and you don't even know it. But let's get some advice on how to get the correct man to cherish us!
And of course, I’m doing my note-taking (which will be below the end of this blog). I just finished reading the introduction and the first couple chapters and I must say reading, this should be common sense but looking into my reality it's not common sense at all!! As women, we think we know all about love and relationships based on past experiences and talks with our girls, but honey NO! We know boys NOT men, and their true thoughts, feelings, etc on love, marriage, or relationships. I see now that past spouse or whatever they would like to be called didn't cherish me cause he wasn't ready to cherish anyone or anything but also I didn't require it by doing the roles and steps I and we should of been doing. I also see with this reading and past readings by Stephan Labossiere I see why he stresses communication regardless of how much we don't want to or don’t like to communicate. It’s important!
Like we already established no I’m not a wife, a wife to be or trying to become a wife but this book is opening me up to discussions I need to have now with the baby steps I’m taking. I believe if I apply this advise now I can avoid the journey I don’t want to go down again. I have stated before I read to learn and gain advise and I’ve used the key of communication and I will say the phrase of “don’t ask what you don’t want to truly hear the answer too” is true. But I will say it’s good to ask as well cause it avoids phases, blocks in bonds or relationships. But it also give the answers to questions of do I want to really do this?!
But back to the blog! Overall out of 10 in my book and reviews I will give this book a not so strong 7. I say not so strong because I learned something (which my take aways are below again) and then I as a thinker and reader the topics could of been discussed a little deeper. I believe it's a good starter for those that need it but if you are looking for true help or understanding on having one cherish you, you will need more than this book. I also say not so strong because like I said in the beginning I'm not focused on marriage im still at baby steps so it may have been just a read for me and learn something but I don't have this problem to actually learn and put into action so just may not be a full lesson for me at this time. Would I suggest this book? Yes and No honestly just depends on the reader, and the reason. Just to read you can hold out on this one just read the notes below: and if anything remember communication and consistency is Key!
Let's head to book #2 by Stephan Labossiere and see what this one can do for me cause we all need a good healing!! Thank you for checking us out for this reading review: Also Dont forget to suggest our reading for the month of October? 🤍📚
TAKE AWAYS/ NOTES:
Chapter 1: Understanding His Needs:
*** 7 Basic Needs Men are Looking For:
1. Respect him.
2. Support him.
3. Nurture him.
4. Value him.
5. Be transparent with him.
6. Please him sexually.
7. Stay physically attractive.
These 7 basic needs are the foundation you want in place to truly speak to your husband’s heart & to draw him closer to you.
- Respect: remember if you DONT respect him
(Just a Few Examples)
• You wont be able to love him the way he needs to be loved.
• You will speak to him in ways that push him away from you.
• He will become less desirable to you.
• You will struggle to be sexually intimate with him.
** MUST be talked about why you lack respect and work TOGETHER to correct it
- Support: Support to your husband is a necessity
- Nurture: When you’re not nurturing your partner, you’re removing one of the fundamentals of why a man is drawn to a woman.
Chapter 2: Speak to Your Husband with Love & Care:
-It’s not only what you say, it’s how you say it!
** Speak to your husband with love & words of affirmation, positive and feminine energy.
- Compliment Him:
Appreciation breeds production: when he feels valued and loved, he automatically wants to do more for you!
(works both ways: just and FYI)
** REMEMBER: He CAN choose: His CHOICE! — right or wrong choices; nothing is required of him…
-Show him love in return & acknowledge his efforts
-Don’t Talk, Just Listen:
Be present when he talks to you and show him you value his presence.
Bonus Chapter: What is Feminine Energy?:
Feminine Energy = Power
The essence of who you are as a woman!
** If uncomfortable showing your feminine side, it’s probably because of walls been up!!
ASK YOURSELF:
1. Why aren’t you using your feminine energy more?
2. Why aren’t you tapping into it daily
3. Are you carrying things into your marriage/ relationship from previous marriages?
Walls restrict your ability to love & receive love in relationships.
- Stop Transferring Negative Energy:
Be mindful of your negative energy!
Find a Stress Reliever!
** Your husband you’re supposed to talk sweet & most of all the last person you should be coming at with negative energy.
- Helpful Techniques for Communication:
1. Pray Before You Engage
2. Decrease Negative Influences
3. Feminine Energy, It’s Not a Weakness
Chapter 3: Three Ways to Nurture Him:
1. Feeding His Natural Appetite
- It’s important to mindful of what you pour into your husband’s stomach, as well as what you’re pouring into his heart
** ASK: “Am I keeping him well-fed?”
2. Feeding His Heart
-Are you pouring clarity into your husband (man)?
-Are you honestly clear with your husband (man) about your needs?
-Are you transparent with him?
**Men (Your Husband): AREN’T as intuitive, detail oriented, as observant: He WANT your words, direct communication, what you need and looking for!
BE HONEST & STRAIGHT FORWARD!!!
Nurturing the relationship creates peace & comfort!!
3. Be Present: he NEEDS you to listen to him
-Being Present = being aware of him, valuing his presence and paying attention to him.
-Listening = taking the time to process his words when speaking to you.
** Communication STARTS with Listening!!
Chapter 4: Prayer & Spirituality:
“Faith without Works is Dead”
** You HAVE to work while youre praying...
- Go to God for Instructions: Gods guidance is key to changing situations
Seek help from with wisdom but they DONT have the final say so: MUST go to God!!
** Your knowledge is limited God know More!!
- Be OBEDIENT to Gods Directions: Ask:
1. What do I need to do next?
2. How do I approach this situation now and going forward?
His answers will line up with His will & After seeking a God guidance, you have to actually implement the answers.
- Make Sure Youre Hearing God:
How to Draw Nearer to God:
1. Fasting
2. Pray in Peace: In a peaceful Moment/ peaceful Area/ Focus in on the prayer and listening
3. Don't pray where there is distraction
- In a noisy place
- When emotions are running high
4. Trust your intuition:
*** WOMENS intuition is always there!
- Be Patient: Proverbs 18:22
- Let God Lead You Relationship (Marriage):
Everything will work in gods timing and for your good!
** God MUST be first in your relationship & marriage
Chapter 5: Submission:
“The action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.”
** Submissive is NOT to hurt or harm you!!
-God calls true men to love their wives as Jesus loved the church.
Man/ Husband = leader = final say so
** Roles are important: Women > Nurturing your family. (Showing love, caring & taking care of small details) & also helpmate to your man/ husband. Men > Leading & holding the family down (Responsible making the right decisions for his family & moving things in the right direction.
- Galatians 6:7
- It's NEVER to Late to Change: BE HONEST!
Chapter 6: Be Supportive:
“Behind every great man is a great woman.”
** ASK YOURSELF:
“Am I being that great woman to my man/ husband?”
Are you being the woman that holds your man down and support him the way he needs?
- Be his cheerleader: Support, Push and Encourage
*** LACK OF SUPPORT CONTRIBUTES TO MEN CHEATING!!!
The door is open to go feel that void to be filled
- Give and Take: If you can’t give him the support he needs, how will you ever receive support from him in return?
Bonus Chapter: Physical Appearance & Physical Attraction
- Appearance: the found what takes a relationship from platonic to romantic is physical attraction.
The Fire is Gone = Attraction Gone
ASK YOURSELF:
* Have I really been putting time and effort toward my appearance?
* Is there something wrong with how I look now?
* Is he/ she taking issue with that?
** Sympathy is a powerful emotion that can help us accept a lot of things a lot easier.
** ADDRESSING THE CORE ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, ALLOWS THINGS TO FALL BACK IN LINE QUICKLY!!
Chapter 7: Sexual Satisfaction:
*** It's All About MUTUAL Satisfaction: All sex is not created equal
ASK YOURSELF:
Am I really tapping into his sexual desires or am I being dismissing about sex?
* Sex Evolves: Sex is NOT supposed to stay the same for the course relationship/ marriage
* The Power of Experimenting: Experimentation
DO NOT do things that you know he'll be uncomfortable with!
Don't just try it once and make it something just for birthday and etc or a treat.
Make sure there is balance: happen often but not to where it gets old.
* Embracing Constructive Criticism
* Sex is NOT a Weapon
* It's Your Turn to Initiate
** Communication is a Part of Great Sex
Happy Sex: initiate sex when in a good mood.
** CONSISTENCY IS KEY!! **

1. How to Get A Man to Cherish You…: Stephan Labossie
Marshay’s Reading Blog #1:
-The Pursuit of Porsha: By: Porsha Williams 🤍📚
“I am still standing, and making my own rules.”
-Porsha Williams
So I'm a little indifferent reading this month's book “The Pursuit of Porsha”, By Porsha Williams herself. The reason I say that is because I was a fan of Porsha on Real Housewives of Atlanta until the last few decisions she has made publicly. But what put a really big damper on me being a fan was the show that she just did her family, Porsha’s Family Matters... Babyyyy!! They should have not aired that at all, in my opinion. I am just hoping this is not another tell-all book about people that have done her wrong or hurt her, I hope it is just really her telling us about her life before and while she was a housewife. But we shall see cause these days we never know what to expect from Porsha Williams herself.
So far into the reading, it’s not your average biography book, which reading I wish it was due to her going into details about moments in her life and keeping them short (giving us the detailed short version of things). For example with watching the show, I always wondered about her and her father's bond or her father in general, which she speaks briefly about at the beginning of the book. Which I could relate to in some ways, but more because ng more detailing about actually her and her father would have been good. Which I said I could relate to and sometimes it is not always easy to speak on even when a person is gone or years later!! Old wounds can re-open. But let's keep reading!
Umm, my feeling of being indifferent is becoming a weird indifferent feeling: I just can't anymore with the things Porsha decides to share with her fan. Let me first and foremost start by saying everyone has their journeys and in life some of those experiences we speak about and some we keep to ourselves till the day we say goodbye to the one we love. But yes I just read the famous R. Kelly section that has been in the spotlight of this book. In my opinion, I can not and never will knock her story or “truth” but just as a reader, fan, or person in general I have my opinion which I’m very very indifferent about with her story, but as well indifferent with the whole R. Kelly situation than most people these days. I can never knock it didn’t happen cause I wasn’t there but it does seem a little attention stretching along with some other things she has done within in her show and publicly. I can tell she loves attention and always sense that from her being on the show, so I know it could be sensitive to speak about or let anyone know.. but honestly with her platform why now? Especially with this man already facing major issues, just why now? But that is all I’m saying and keep reading, so next chapters we go, please!
We finally have come to an end :) Overall, I give this reading a 7 out of 10. Before Porsha fans jump down my throat, yes I have my reasons and opinions even though it was a good read for me. I expected more of a biography book which I wish she would do after reading these chapters. It honestly was a tell-all book and learned about the men she slept with and wanted or expected to marry or have a baby with, which are the same things we see within her storyline on Real Housewives of Atlanta. I understand what she was trying to get to with the content and title but I don’t feel the title was a good fit. I not knock nor will ever knock her or anyone on the lessons they learn in life from people, EVER!
I would say that with the release of the book, the timing of the show, and with the way the new relationship played it out…. This book was just a tell-all! I would see where people get off calling her a gold digger now reading this book and seeing what she does publicly. I just wish overall this was a biography and more detailed in her struggles and downs to get the point of the lesson “how I grew into my power and purpose” than a tell-all about her with John, Joe, and Bill (no those are not the means name). Cause she has lightweight told us she got around, always want someone with money and getting the rich life from him by been their wife or baby mama. I also say saying her purpose is more than being a mother or wife cause that is what I got from her story and is telling what her purpose all is. And with saying gaining her power back, but she now dealing with the same old joe man just a different job title with her finance from the men she spoke own in the book. But hey with that being said I'm saying we all make mistakes, we all have to learn from them but most of all learn who we truly have to who we are and the purpose and plan God has for us! I hope she truly finds that in life one day. So if you looking for a good ready grab “The Pursuit of Porsha How I Grew into My Power and Purpose!”

Welcome to Marshay’s Reading 🤍📚

-Unknown
“If you want to learn or know anything just read” is what my grandfather told me as a little girl and today this day I pass that lesson down to my daughter at a young age. So reading is a hobby in my household from the daily reading with my 1-year-old to a monthly reading(s) for myself. So I Teundra Marshay decided to turn those monthly reading(s) into a little more fun hobby... Marshay’s Reading!
With Marshay’s Reading, you can join me in the monthly reading(s), in which I will post the reading(s) within weeks of the upcoming month. I read for fun and enjoyment, to learn more or new things, for spiritual inspiration and growth and self-growth help. I honestly can say if the cover and back of the book caught my eye I'm giving it a chance! So at the end of the month, I will post my most honest and truthful opinion and thoughts of the reading(s). I will even share the inspiration that caught my eye while reading and share it with you all. You will also be able to share your thoughts, opinions, and takeaways if you joined me and read the monthly book(s) or read the book before, once the blog is posted for open discussion. Like our mini blog book club. :)
With this new adventure, I hope you enjoy and even join me in maybe reading or sharing your thoughts with Marshay’s Reading! Thank You for your support and even just checking out my blog. Remember I'm new to this and I'm a little sensitive about my adventures! -xoxo-
