Money! Money!

Money! Money!

We all need it, want more of it, and can manage it better. 

What is it? Clearly, it's money. 

Is it really the root of evil today, as some claim?


Absolutely not!

This common misconception of money as evil is cleared up by going to the source. 
(1 Timothy 6:10) 
“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." 
However, we are equally admonished for not providing for our loved ones.
(1 Timothy 5:8) 

 “But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 

The Bible clearly calls for us all to be good financial stewards.
(Proverbs 13:16) “A wise man thinks ahead; a fool doesn’t, and even brags about it!”
(Proverbs 21:5) “The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.”
(Proverbs 30:24-25) “Four things on earth are small, yet they are extremely wise: Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;”
(Luke 14:28) “Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won’t you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it?    

Ready to test yourself? 

  • What's your current relationship with money?  
  • Do you have financial goals? 
  • Are you prepared for the future?
  • Do you have an emergency fund?
  • Are you making the best financial decisions for yourself and your loved ones?
Are you stressed out just thinking about it? 

You are not alone! 

The good news is that you can attain peace of mind by talking with a trusted financial advisor who is equipped to assess your unique financial situation, and who will develop a personalized financial plan that meets your current and evolving future needs. 

You work hard, and you deserve to have financial peace of mind. 

Invest in yourself, your future, and your peace of mind. 

Whatever your past relationship with money, you have the opportunity now to set new goals for 2024 and claim financial peace in the new year.

The Gift You Must Give Yourself!

The Gift You Must Give Yourself!  'Tis the Season to give, love, count our blessings, wish, and dream of Peace.  It is also a time for assessing the year, perhaps you had to account for your work contributions in an annual performance review.  Maybe you have been reflecting on everything you accomplished, or meant to - oops!  I want you to give yourself the gift of letting go.  It's the perfect time to reflect on what is working for you in life and in relationships.  Who is adding joy and love, and who is draining you? What is adding value to your life and what needs to go. Time for the gift you must give yourself: Let it go! (Sorry parents, I know this  song will be stuck in your head!) Not sure where to start? Feeling overwhelmed or exhausted? I got you! Step One: Write down a list of everything you cannot control (this includes people and their perceptions/opinions).  Let go of other people's expectations, of unrealistic expectations, and of t...

Soulful Style: Expressing Identity

Soulful Style: Expressing Identity Self-Reflection Questions:    What's your style?  How do you express yourself?  What makes your soul sing?  How do you show up? How do you want to show up? Let's not confuse style with something else. Fashion is not style. " Miranda: You have no sense of fashion. Andy: I think that depends on… Miranda: No, no, that wasn't a question." 'The Devil Wears Prada'. - Clothing itself is not style.  Garments provide a covering for our bodies, so perhaps you don’t think what you wear is important beyond comfort and protective use ( check out knight armory ). Style is the  how and the why , it represents the attention and expertise behind how and why something is done, which gives it both purpose and meaning . Think of style as a statement, an illustration, a representation, or a symbol of something else. Think of a military uniform, a physician's white coat , a queen with her crowns, jewels, velvet robes, and a scept...
