    Holding On

    dreamstime_s_53141518I have an elderly neighbor who holds onto everything.  She gives me things that are more than thirty years old sometimes. I appreciate the gifts but I wonder why is she holding on to the stuff or better yet what does she plan to do with it once she passes. It may sound like a morbid thought but it always brings me back to the decisions I make for me and my family.  I want to leave my family with more than just debt!  I realize it is the memories that last.  We are all passing through this time and space, if we chose to let go of things, we could begin to hold on to love.

  • The Question

    The Question

    question-markOn Instagram the other day, someone asked me if I love money. My answer was “No, I don’t love money, I love the freedom that money brings.”
     
    I am learning to live with the money I have on hand right now which I have found does provide enough freedom for me to live the life I choose right now. I have the freedom to do morning walks because I don’t need to rush to a job. I have the freedom to workout because I have electricity play the workout DVDs.
     
    I could go on but the point is, I could always use more money but I also notice and appreciate the freedom I already enjoy because of having it.
     
    So… Do you love money?
