Financial Freedom Comes With A Price








As soon as I declared my commitment to being financially free, my world began to crumble slowly... Things happened to the contrary. But what I have found is this, there are principles that are true no matter what phase you are in in your quest for financial freedom and they are:

  1. As much as it depends on you, stick to your plan. If you get off track, get back on where you got off and keep going. But don't quit!
  2. Give yourself a break. It's been hard enough being a slave to debt. Don't allow the weight of this journey crush you. Get on top of it and stay there.
  3. Create a journal and write out your frustrations as well as your victories! Pretty soon, your victories will be most important and far more frequent than your disappointments.
  4. Seek positive role models who have been through this process. They understand the highs and lows of your journey.
  5. Let it go. Yes! Let it go. You are doing all that you can to make it work! But at some point it is an act of faith that your hard work will pay off and  you have to trust that interruptions will come but you have to work your plan!
Nothing worth anything is easy. It just isn't. But if you continue to add building blocks to your experiences, you will recognize that you are above and not beneath and if you sow your seeds in good ground, ordering your life will yield a harvest you won't have room enough to contain!

I'm committed. I am going to go as far as this journey calls for me to go. Hope to hear more from you and your experiences with finances.

Blessings!

I NEED A DEEP MAN Dorothea Manley Copyright 2014 I need a deep man A man who will look into the mirror and diagnose his own shit I need a someone who will not be afraid to sit and talk with me as I deliberate over my day of chaotic prose I need a deeper man who will not be afraid of the word DEEP A man who will open his heart to the transforming power of the totality of what God has for him to embrace within this woman who is as deep as the Nile and can swim it too... I need a deep man who can run his fingers through my nappy hair and not whence at cottony softness that embellishes this crown He has to be deeper than me to contain this heart that dreams of a life poured into a cast iron skillet and fried up to perfection These thighs are not small or improperly structured to fit around his But they are perfection as God has molded me to him Yes, he has to be deep and not afraid of his own greatness or mine Deeper... It is only a state of freedom and...

Me Too... My Story

Yeah... Me too... When I see this I can't help but think that I am one of millions. As I reflect back on my own experience and I relive the pain for being raped, I get a little indignant, a little confused, sad and overwhelmed. Truly, I am not completely healed from my 2006 experience. I am, however, on the right path. How do I know? I don't want him dead any more. I want him out of my head and away from my emotions - but I don't want him dead. My experience began as a friendly meet up to go have drinks and party a little bit as I was a tad bit depressed and just needed to get out of my own head, so-to-speak. We were meeting at his house and then off to the Wild Hair in Wicker Park. I was truly looking forward to a different experience with someone whom I trusted to take care of me. You see, the guy who assaulted me was a friend, a brother. We sang at church together and we laughed all of the time. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD HURT ME THE WAY THAT HE DID...N...
