I need to get some sleep

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 26, 2008

Ok, the only reason why I am writing is because I have not done it in a couple of days, and also because, I do need to add sleep to the equation.

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 15, 2008

Peace, happiness…all feelings are a choice

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 8, 2008

As I prepare myself to take this blogging thing seriously, I remind myself that all feelings are a choice. On other occasions, I have talked about the accountability of a person. You choose what happens to you. It is the law of attraction. You also choose how you react to [...]

Why do I keep saying that I am going to take it serously

Posted by: aviddiva on: September 7, 2008

and then I don’t. I have been thinking about this for a while, and this entry might be longer than usual, but I just want to try to figure this out.
I’ve been coasting for the last few months. After being fired on April 30th, I decided that I was going to look for [...]
