On With The Search!

So the search continues today. The job search, that is. I have been diligently attacking Craig's List on an hourly basis in search of employment. I've never had this much trouble, even when I was in Work Release.

I've done a fair amount of research on making money on-line, which is one of the factors that prompted this blog. I've visited quite a few blogs generated by individuals who are making a decent living doing this. I can only hope to accomplish that someday soon. For the time being, the hunt is on.

Is there anyone out there that have any promising leads? I'd like to think I have enough skills to land me a position that pays well, but with the economy the way it is, employers are exploiting wages for those who deserve more. It's no secret that there are plenty of people out there willing to work for mere peanuts despite the fact they are worth more than their weight in gold.

I have spent so much time emailing my resume out everyday that I have come to the conclusion that I'd be better off making money through freelance writing or graphic / web design. I'm also tossing around the idea of becoming an eBay guru. There seem to be so many ways to generate an income from home, but in all my research, I'm finding that there are so many ways to do so that I don't know where to begin.

So I get frustrated and start hitting the classifieds in what seems like a futile attempt to find that ever elusive job. I'm open to suggestions, everyone.

To Every End There Is A New Beginning

And that beginning is here.
My name is Rhiana, and this is my attempt at revealing my life to the world in the hopes that some will learn from it, and some will teach me as well.
I have spent many years following the path which some deem "easy," only to find that it is a path laiden with many difficulties that many never dream of encountering. I chose to tempt fate at every turn, never listening to those who love me the most and want nothing more but happiness for me.
Background: When I was in my early twenties I decided to try a drug that got the better of me, believing that the laws of physical addiction did not apply to my body. Herion turned out to be one hell of a monkey that I will carry for the rest of my life. I found myself sentenced to prison, stripped of all my possessions and fighting for the love of my families who were rapidly losing faith in me.
Prison turned out to be the best thing for me. I found my sense of accomplishment through work, the concept of not taking my loved ones for granted but most of all self respect.
To this day, I still struggle with every day life. I am now faced with unemployment, being thirty and living my my dad, struggling in a relationship with a man a cannot live without and fighting for a sense of worthiness in all of it. Yet, I carry on in the hopes that one day I will look back and realize I am that much stronger for having overcome all the odds that I have stacked against myself.
