I bought this domain with the purpose of sharing my thoughts, feelings, experiences, projects, ideas, even impulses in the hopes that I would inspire others. If not inspire, maybe uplift, help in some way or otherwise influence for good. To that end I return to blogging and maintaining this site…and a few others. ;) In fact, if you’d rather watch than read, look at My Life, in Pictures.
Normally, I would delete all posts, comments, links and pages and start from scratch. I’m going to try something different this time – move forward and not look back. I have a hard time keeping everything together. I’ve written before, in other places, about being scattered. I sat down this time to just write. Just. Write.
I have a lot of projects on which I’m currently working. Some of these projects are scheduled to take a long time while others will be over soon, for example: our baby is due in June and I’m keeping a blog about the pregnancy. I’m going to post about these projects and provide updates as I get things done. In contrast to my normal way of announcing things, I’m going to delay sharing anything publicly until after I’m finished. Some say that by telling others about what you’re doing it increases the likelihood that you’ll finish what you started. I don’t think this is true for me. I’m notorious for starting and later stopping things, so I’ll tell you when it’s over (for most things).
A few weeks ago, while listening to the Dave Ramsey Show I was introduced to a bank called Perkstreet Financial. Dave endorses them and as such promotes their website and business model as part of his show. Naturally, I was skeptical, but I went to the website anyway. I quickly discovered that Perkstreet Financial claims to offer a 2% cash back rewards debit card. I became interested in their offer, especially since I still can’t get a credit card.
Today’s news is littered with reports that “2 million Americans will lose their unemployment benefits if Congress doesn’t do something”. My response – Yeah, so?
