Way to Save

Image
If you've been thinking about taking control of your financial future the time is NOW! We put way too much thought into saving when honestly its quiet simple. "Track Your Spending" that is the MAJOR key to saving money. How many people swipe their debit or credit cards daily and barely check their bank statements? I'm guilty. If you work hard for your money and want to keep it in your pocket then you have to learn to track your spending and  budget. I know, I know when people hear the word "budget" they start thinking they are limiting themselves to their own money but in actuality all you're doing is holding yourself accountable for what you spend. Begin by checking your pay stubs so you have an accurate account of the income you bring home monthly. Then, keep a track of every dime you spend whether its as high as a mortgage or as little as a pack of gum. Finally, categorize the items in which you paid...

2018 The Year of The Woman

Entrepreneur, actress, fashion designer, mother and wife, LaLa Anthony was recently on the Steve Harvey show. As you all know in April she and Carmelo Anthony split after rumors of infidelity, and I must say I admire the way she is handling it. Around the same time the New York Knicks traded Carmelo Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder, so he has not been staying in the home. LaLa and son Kiyan remained at their home in New York City as opposed to relocating. She stated, that she's trying to be a role model for women and I am sure many of us can appreciate that. We have seen countless women succumb to their husbands with no reprimand after being caught cheating. So the interview began with Steve asking how things are going between she and Carmelo and basically LaLa said that their ability to co-parent is going extremely well. However, it is a big adjustment for their family she and estranged husband Carmelo are trying to keep it as normal as possible for their son. "Kiyan is...

New Year, New Me

The "New Year, New Me" fad is very comical to many people. Rightfully so, because we often fall short of our new year resolutions and some never actually get started. I'm living drama free, losing 20 pounds, and I'm all about my kids this year lol, sounds familiar right? But honestly, for a lot of people the new year is the time when they start planning how they want the rest of the year to play out by setting new "goals." After all, the main objective of a New Year Resolutions is to set a goal or goals in which you plan to accomplish within that year. But, why wait until a new year is approaching to set a goal? I don't care if its the middle of July and an idea comes to mind, you better grab you a pen and paper, jot that thing down, and start thinking of a plan of execution. James 2:14 states;  What  does it  profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? A plan without action is simply a wish, so you have to do more t...

Because She Did!

Cheers to new beginnings!  My 1st entry is dedicated to everyone that has ever been proud, encouraged, or inspired by me and just overall supportive.  You all are the very reason I decided to create a blog in the first place.  Whether it was becoming Homecoming Queen, becoming a college cheerleader, joining the military, obtaining these degrees, hosting events, joining the greatest sorority in the world, and even becoming a mom you all made me feel on top of the world.  It is not easy setting and accomplishing goals no matter how easy one may make it appear.  There are many obstacles both seen and unseen that one must endure and overcome to get to the finish line.  So I wanted to create an environment where we can continue to educate, support, and uplift one another because I understand that not everyone has the same support system.  However, what we ALL commonly have is the same 24 hours in each day to make something great happen! So with that bei...
