Hello Friends

Hello friends!

Today begins a journey for me, and hopefully for you too.   I’ve spent most of my life thinking, reading, and talking about personal, spiritual, and financial growth.  Today begins a path towards sharing that knowledge rather than just consuming it.

As I sit here, cozy in my bed, I recognize the hubris and hypocrisy that you might be seeing right now.  I’m not rich.   I’m not even financially free (yet).  I get consumed by anger, jealousy, ego, and pride like everyone else.  Please forgive me, and forgive yourself for these things as well 🙂

The goal of this blog is to help us become more self aware together.   To understand how our emotions and baggage influence our decisions of what, when, and how much to buy.  To identify opportunity and self sabotage.  To prioritize the things that we value most in life, and then allow our finances to fall in line with our priorities rather than being dragged from one marketing slogan or social pressure to another thinking that they will make us happy.

Instead of spending our time to make money, and then spending that money (and then some) to be happy for a little while, we want to focus on fostering a sense of gratitude, appreciation of the “little things”, and a true love of self and the people around us.  By creating our “best self” and acting from a peaceful, balanced perspective we can view our current situation clearly.  Once we know where we are  we can see and seize opportunities to reduce expenses, increase income, become debt free and ultimately financially free.

I hope my world view will be interesting to you, and perhaps will even be helpful.  I look forward to at least providing you with some wholesome entertainment 🙂

Stay awake friends.
