Time.
First, thank you for taking the time out of your day to visit. You are already taking an important step – taking time for yourself.
I created this personal finance and lifestyle blog after a few experiences in my life that gave me pause to take time and think. I thought about where I had been, where I wanted to go and the moments in my life where I learned something…. those moments where I learned either more about myself, my family and friends, my work, or just life.
I know that through my journey I have always been fortunate to have people in my life who were supportive in many different ways. That realization led me to a new focus. To take time to focus on how I might be able to help others.
Taking time to think about things in my life led me to the realization that I had learned so much from my Dad about personal finance. Only in retrospect did I realize that the skill of understanding personal finances was important, especially in those pivotal points in my life. I also learned through the years that there are a lot of people who only have a passing knowledge of personal finances. The reasons can be many.
I continued to be interested in learning more about personal finance and this led to my interest in studying accounting and becoming an accountant. In retrospect, I began to realize that I had applied a lot of my skills as an accountant in my everyday life. Accounting is very detail-oriented and I love details. Details are so important in keeping things running well.
Speaking of keeping things running well, I go back to the concept of the importance of taking time. After a health issue, I felt a need to concentrate more on simplifying, prioritizing the important things and taking time to be more mindful. My goals here are to help you to learn the importance of these items in your life also.
I also spent time thinking about the process of taking this first step – and how afraid I had been to take this step. That is what it takes, though, to reach most goals – a series of small steps taken on a common journey. Please take this journey with me and we will continue to learn together.
Keep your eyes open! This section will be update soon.
