Wow. I now officially have a blogpage. My purpose is to have some accountability to you to help me achieve some goals.
I am impressed and motivated by cousin Lizzy and her husband Ryan's blog about not spending any unplanned money and the journey it has taken them. http://johnosons365daychallenge.blogspot.com/
I also enjoy reading my sister Dyann's blog and live vicariously through the triumphs and trials of her life with her too cool for words family. http://listingloquacious.blogspot.com/
I watched a show for the first time last night and it had a powerful affect on me. It is on MSNBC and is called 'til Debt do U$ part. It is about couples who need financial help and they get relationship work along the way. It's a great show and is inspiring to me that I can indeed, change my spending habits.
I also love Mary Hunt. She is the creator of Everyday Cheapskate now called www.debtproofliving.com. She shows that you can change your spending habits and save at the same time. Her 'degree' came from the school of hard knocks! She motivates me so much. I just need to apply what I've learned! She has a monthly column in Woman's Day as well.
Another purpose is to share with you my journey of getting healthier. Those that know me know that has ALWAYS been a goal; yet my waistline continues to grow. I have a walking buddy and we've met up once already last week! It was a great time and the time and miles go by faster when you have someone to chat with!
When creating a name I couldn't come up with anything as unique as 'listingloquacious' and was pondering 'reinvention of me' but needed a name that will outlive any 'reinventions'. I came up with 'this redheads life' but it was already taken. I thought of 'my not so boring life' but it is boring sometimes LOL...so I ended up with a combination of the two. (If I could remember it right now I'd list it...doh!)
So we'll go on this journey together. Please feel free to support, motivate, share your story and laugh and cry along with me~!
Cheers~!
You go girl. I,m behind you all the way. Get healthy! And inspire me.
