I don't mean you should goof off, but doing things that give you joy takes some of the pressure off and is good for the soul. After all, if your job search is successful, how long will it be before you have this much free time?

You might be successful, but the force of the pressure tends to relocate itself in other more embarrassing places... if you catch my drift.

It's okay and sometimes breaking down helps you get closer to the solution. I am tired of being this strong black woman. I refuse to fake the funk, and I like #5. Attack for real.

In the age of the Internet and social networking sites, this is the perfect opportunity to start networking with people. Join a FBLA (Future business leaders of America) forum to get idea's of how the economic trends are swaying and then hustle them. There is no reason in hell for you to be broke if you have access to the Internet. Learning to be creative is key, stop being so scared of taking risks!
