Money?

Checking out at Sprouts the other day I made mention of the fact that money doesn't seem to last very long.  The checker said not to worry.   His grandpa, who had lived during the Depression, said that you shouldn't worry about money because as long as you were on the right side of the dirt, you could always make more.  I like that!  It's true, too.

I have not done well with the finances as of late and I will change that.  In an effort to make better choices, I read an article in the January 2015 edition of Success magazine by Suze Orman who writes a regular column there.  This month what she wrote really resonated with me.  "If you're worried about your financial future, the first step toward a new sense of your own power is to know exactly what you're afraid of."  Afraid of?  Well, I had to ponder that awhile!  She challenged us to write that fear down and then create a new truth. "Make it exactly opposite of your greatest fear."  Hmmmmm.....once I realized that my fear was totally irrational, it was easy to create a new truth.

What about you?  Are your financial fears holding you back from the abundance the Lord  has for you?

Theodore Roosevelt

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even tho checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat. ~Theodore Roosevelt

Mom and Christmas


Mom.......a Christmas in the past........love that smile!  She's in heaven now.  Has been since December 22, 2012.  I wonder if they celebrate Christmas in heaven?

I have a hard time leading up to December 22.  It's hard to get in the Christmas spirit as I remember what it was like two years ago watching Mom transition to heaven.  Seems like after the 22nd is over, I am not as sad.  At least that's how it was this year.  Time heals so who knows what next year will be like.

Merry Christmas Mom.....and Dad!  I love you!
