There have only been a few rare periods in my life when I’ve had an absolutely steady reliable paycheck for more than a month or two at a time. Instead, I’ve always had a variable income – often because I was using a day job to supplement my artistic endeavors, so my hours would fluctuate, …

Joining a community
I’ve been doing this journaling thing for almost a year now (can you believe it?!? Today is the start of the twelfth month!) Despite regularly telling myself that I should start engaging with other bloggers, I haven’t done it. The only blog I’ve been reading regularly is Momma Sunshine‘s.
Frankly, I feel awkward about the …

The pity party
Here’s the thing – I’m in no good space to be writing tonight. I woke up feeling cranky this morning and it hasn’t gotten any better as the day has gone on. I know very well that a big part of the discomfort I’m feeling has to do with making a clear commitment to working …

Being debt-free
As I’ve documented extensively during The Miracle Challenge, I’m working now on taking control of my financial life. Since I was a child, I always felt like money controlled me rather than the other way around. Now I’m ready to change that dynamic.
Over the past couple of weeks, MBE and I have talked a …
