Affirmations and music are in mine too. I also like to put myself in places that are physically inspiring. I love rooftops and to be near water or in wide open spaces like parks. That always puts me in a better mood.

This is the best way ever:

In a candid interview with talk show diva, Wendy Williams, Common revealed that his first love, Erykah Badu dumped him over the phone.

“She handed it to me. I was in my hotel room on tour and … she called me and was like, ‘Hey, I don’t wanna be in this relationship no more. I’m liking somebody else,’” the rapper-actor revealed of his ‘Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip-Hop)’ collaborator.

Comment on Unemployment Ineligibility by Terri

thank you for this article. This has recently happened to me. I was laid off with the possibility of having summer work. Talked to my employer about an invitation I had to go to D.C. this summer to work unpaid for an advocacy program I’m involved with…I told her that I could not afford to go if I couldn’t get unemployment well she told unemployment that I was going out of town for an internship and the stopped my payments. When all I did was let her know the opportunity that I had been offered. I have not went anywhere and now my unemployment has been stopped. It was an assumption on her part and I have to pay the price… with no income. I am diligently seeking employment else where by may have to return there in the fall if not.

Comment on The Story of SASSY by Seriously, we’re back this time

Seriously, we’re back this time — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 15:49:54 +0000

[...] When I started SASSY back in 2008, I was looking to fill a void in the blogosphere. Back then I didn’t feel like any site in particular related to where I was and in typical Eva fashion, when I couldn’t find it, I made it. I got a bunch of friends together and we started SASSY and it was great. [...]

Comment on Unemployment and Depression by Eileen Simpson

Unemployed going on 10 months, I did a short term of pet care over Christmas and New Years. My field is education.

On top of this my kitty of 9 years has lymphoma cancer and I just stated going through menopause.

This is not fun…. I consider myself an artist and have putting my craft together, but with the way the economy is I can’t sell either. I’m trying to do farmers markets to see what happens.

Depressed yes you bet..

Thanks for listening.

Ive been off work for 3 weeks now and at first i thought “Piece of Cake i can do this” That mindstate only lasted one week. I was exercising as usual, my house was clean, i always cook at home and hardly ever ate out. But after one week the negative thoughts just started to creep in and little by little it was a down ward spiral and found myself in a state where i stopped working out , I clean a little, im eating fast food again, and i picked up drinking beer again. So reading this article was very inspiring. Alot of the people who commented on this article seem to have a bit of control now which is also inspiring. So thanks for all the good advice and wish me luck.

Comment on Date like a white girl? Maybe we should. by undressingHER

I don’t know how I even ended up on this post, but I have two things to say:

1. Eva is FINE.

2. I think women should definitely take dating as more of an opportunity to simply enjoy life, I know I do. Although I generally date the same women, I don’t expect marriage out of any of them (given I don’t want to even be in a committed relationship right now), I just enjoy the time we’re together.
