                                                                                                                                        March 27, 2017 For years, I've loved everything the study of law has to offer. I had a desire to become an attorney earlier on in life. Except, changes presented a different outcome. Of...

Talk Soon Lavilada😉

July 23, 2016 I've had an opportunity to reflect on life. To be honest I'm always in reflective mode. There is so much I want to accomplish. For instance, mindset goals is not the same as goals with effort. The difference is both take two forms that vary in action. I read this book that actions have no season written by two brothers who are attorneys. The book immediately inspired my thoughts and I still have not acted on aspirations of known, but I plan to do so soon.  A few personal goals will avail in the near future and I am adamant about allowing myself to be as creative as possible just to see what I can do.  Back to me....and- I'm loving it....

December 27, 2015 It's 3:39 am and I cannot sleep. Thinking too much about life and the choices I've made. Some good some not so good. The price you pay for pursuing the permission of others. Allowing people, random people-even family members who I deem as random people allowed to make decisions for you that are not in your best interests. As people, we give others too much access, absolutely too much access to the decisions that must be made in our life. Too much access to suggestive thinking, when the decision is entirely yours to make. I ask myself, what will be different in the next few days? What will 2016 bring? Daily we live as if we control life's clock. In fact, the one who's yet to unveil the mystery of life is the one who has complete control. He sets the time table of life, the beginning, and the end. The thought alone should be disturbing because ultimately, people do not control the very thing they give others to access. Be careful of who you acce...

Merry Christmas Everyone!   December 25, 2015 One of my favorite Holidays of the Year, Christmas. Lights, Lights, Lights, all of the Lights. Christmas Trees. I love Christmas, a reason to give, whether its hugs to gifts. Most importantly, remember Christ our Lord Jesus, the very reason for choosing to have a better life. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. -Lavi 

December 21, 2015 So, I'm reading this new book I have by Cora Jakes-Coleman on Faithing It . An awesome read by the way. Within the first few pages, I was hooked. It's a read that I needed, no matter the internal and external chaos that has engulfed my life.  I find my self in a situation that makes me the angriest person in my world. Like most Americans in our country, I sincerely am not enjoying my current employment. It's easy for people to advise with their unwanted opinions even though the decision concerning me does not affect them in any way. Years before, I had a knack for listening to people convey their problems and sounding off their frustration in their daily life. At the time, I was able to really soak it in, be the listening ear, give advice and Godly advice at that, now, the time has come, where I no longer feel concern about humanity and the concerns thereof. I will have to ask God to help me with that because I did not always feel this way. I find m...

What I find most intriguing is the ability to read and relax my thoughts in reading. I read this article and it talks about the "Golden Rule" written by a therapist from the 'NY' here's the link if you're interested, http://www.goodtherapy.org/Brooklyn-Therapy.htm. I believe, I do what most people do, never think to treat myself like I would treat a bestie. You somehow ignore the thought and forget that you too are human. There are things in life that is overwhelming and most people have no one to talk with and talk about these things without limits. It's difficult. Reading this article allowed me to revisit my thoughts and sit with them to understand the new phase, I'm currently experiencing. I believe it is important to take care of yourself in the same way you would take care of others. Life happens, things that are beyond your control and learning to deal with each phase in your life will help and allow you to mature as an individual. I have fo...
