The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness by Dave Ra...





This is an amazing opportunity to start your journey into financial freedom! I am listening and taking action. We often don't want to make the necessary changes to obtain what we truly want. Until you are "sick and tired" of being sick and tired, you will do the insane thing over and over again expecting different results. Yes, THAT is insanity!!! So, I begin my journey into the sanity of being reasonable, responsible, and redeemed!



Here are the steps that I have taken so far:



1. Got rid of cable and the internet saving $116 per month.

2. Called Verizon to have my bill reduced. I ended up spending the same amount per month but was able to obtain a much needed upgrade, a second phone to use when me or my daughter are using my new upgraded phone for an internet hotspot. Shamar is the Verizon Supervisor from HEAVEN!

3. Began my journey to eating less and healthier.

4. Sat down for a consultation with a wonderful financial analyst who won't let me off of the hook, Frenise Mann (frenisemann@gmail.com).

5. Saving receipts to assess my spending habits

6. Making arrangements for school loans payments to be reduced drastically.

7. One year from now, I will refinance my car with my credit union.

8. Do more reading and creative activities with my daughter and create memories with my family that don't cost me an arm and a leg!

9. Tithe 100% every month

10. Consistently save



These are just some of the things that I have done to begin my serious journey into being debt free. I have set a goal of 3-5 years with my greatest reward being debt free!!!  In addition, I want to take an all-expense paid trip to Greece!



I'm excited about what is to come! I'm excited about my process, my journey!!! Stay tuned! I will chronicle my progress as I go through this transformation.



Thank you, Lord! I will need Your help! :0)



Speaking Life to my finances today and every day! I AM DEBT FREE!!!

Don't Let the Day Get Away

Every day of our lives is like a garden. It requires care, attention, and protection. If we never weed, till, or water our gardens they will become so overgrown until we won't know our planted treasures from the clutter. The weeds, being equal to life's distractions, and the flowers, being the people and activities that deserve our planned and prioritized efforts, cannot peacefully co-exist. Our lives are worth every moment we can take to plan our days, organize our thoughts, master faith over our fears, and contribute love to a world in need. Take time every day to plan and think ahead about the ways in which you can extend the life of your treasures and rid yourself of the unnecessary fodder that would steal time and opportunity if left unchecked. Even say out loud, "My time is valuable because it is the conduit through which my life flows. My life is valuable because of how I cherish my time." Be Encouraged, Speak Life!

Project Speak Life: On Being Different

Have you ever felt like you have two heads? Two left feet? One good ear? One hand that doesn't feed the other? A bird in the hand? lol... Okay, I'm sorry... My humor gets me into trouble. But, seriously, do you just feel like you stick out like a sore thumb at times? Sometimes? Most times? You must understand... that we are all here as created beings with a purpose! Purpose! Purpose! That word could be considered highly overused! But it isn't! It's packed with everything you need to understand that your physical, mental, and spiritual makeup is exactly as it should be. It isn't until we begin to question and doubt the bare essence of who it is that is staring back at us in the mirror, that we become confused. We begin to configure secret meeting rooms in our minds to house those imposing questions such as: "Who am I?" , "Why am I so different from everyone else?", Why does everyone misunderstand me?". They are all legitimate questions; h...
