Day: 13 Spoke: Career Habit: Persistent Consistency In the book Choose to Win, Tom Ziglar talks a lot about PC. But it’s not in the context we’re used to hearing it (politically correct or personal computer), he’s referring to persistent consistency. It’s the secret to success in any spoke on the Wheel of Life. Making […]

Day: 12 Spoke: Personal  Habit: Understanding Self-Love I’m so grateful that self love is getting more and more attention. The first time I ever heard the concept of putting yourself as a priority above everyone else in your life was by Michael Hyatt in 2011 in his “Creating Your Life Plan” workbook. He discussed the […]

Day: 11 Spoke: Financial Habit: Debt is not an option I opened my first credit card when I was 18 years old. I was told I needed it to “build my credit.” I went to Best Buy and financed the purchase of a digital camera with all the accessories. I was so proud of myself […]

Day: 10 Spoke: Spiritual Habit: Follow the Peace I’ve written and deleted this post three times. I can’t seem to find the words to explain this experience well, and I think it’s because it doesn’t take many words. This quote says it all. When I decided to find my peace and arrange my life in […]

Day: 9 Spoke: Physical Habit: Water You’re probably saying “I know…I know…I know…” I need to drink more water. But if we’re going to talk about habits, this is one that cannot be left out. There’s lots of info out there about how much water to consume. The guideline I use is your body weight […]

Day: 7 Spoke: Family Habit: Respecting Boundaries I could write a whole series of posts on family and boundaries. If you haven’t read the book Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud, it’s a MUST. He discusses relational boundaries, but today I want to discuss time block boundaries. When I had my first child I chose to […]

Day: 6 Spoke: Career Habit: Knowing Your Strengths The average American spends more of their time at work than anywhere else, and yet the statistics tell us that (depending which report you read) somewhere around only 15% of Americans love their job. This breaks my heart. I know that pain. I’ve lived that pain. What […]

Day: 5 Spoke: Personal Habit: Intentional 5 The quote “you are a reflection of the five people you spend the most time with” is so true. Last year, I got out a sheet of paper and wrote down five people in my life that I wanted to reflect, then I chose to invest in them […]

In 2008 I was 21 years old and was introduced to budgeting for the first time. I had never been taught the concept of spending your money before you make it, or properly planning for categories. When we got engaged in 2006, there was no debt in my name. Less than two years later we […]
