Thinking Kinky : The Nappy Haired Diva

Having the name Abby has been a blessing and a curse. People tend to come for me for advice and while I take no issue with providing my insight, I become annoyed. If you come to me with the same issue that you had last week, please know that the compassion I had last week will be long gone and it's replacement will be impatience. If you don't want to change your life, stop complaining about it. Change isn't easy. I struggle for every change I make in my life, but it's worth it because I would rather progress forward than remain stagnant. The reward is worth the risk. But if you are complacent in your nonsense, please refrain from calling me to lament over your woes. I don't read the same books over and over, I don't watch the same films over and over and I don't want to hear the same problems over and over.

Every moment will be spent marketing your business, negotiating deals with clients, and if you achieve growth you can count on navigating the hiring process as well. It gets really fun when you have to master the art of payroll.  So often we see blo...

I had a tumultuous 9 year relationship. We were on again and off again but we were on more times than we were off. Each time we parted ways, it was always for the same reasons. Finally I legally severed my ties with that person and I was able to move on with my life. Eventually I met another man and he was a good man with a lot of heartache. Looking back, I can admit that I had some heartache of my own. He and I also created a cycle of breaking up and making up as well. However, his offenses were far less major than those of my ex husband. Hardened however by the issues of the past, I didn't give the new guy much of a chance before I ran for my life and ended things. When breaking up, you should always have a definitive reason for your departure from the relationship. If you know why you are leaving you can state the issues factually and acknowledge that without change, you couldn't continue within the relationship. If you make up, the decision should be logical.
