A Healthy Financial Mindset (Or… How I Keep Myself From Buying Rotisserie Chickens Every Day of the Week)
How does your mindset affect your financial success? View all responses For me, a healthy financial mindset is the one in which financial freedom surpasses instant gratification. So whatever gets me to that point, and is also sustainable, meaning I can do it over and over, without too much effort. That means not wasting money…

Re-Livable
So let me start by saying that even if I could, I don’t think that I would. I’ve watched enough sci-fi and fantasy to know that it is never a good idea to mess with time. (Okay, they had to in Harry Potter, but seriously they were saving lives.) If I could go back and…

Same Salary/Same Job/Same Life
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do/with your one wild and precious life?” (Mary Oliver, The Summer Day) I’ve been on a Mary Oliver kick, especially since watching this documentary from PBS that popped up on YouTube. And I’m thinking about the prompt, if the salary was the same, what job would you…

5000+
I love tracking my steps. Imagine my disappointment when, earlier this year, I couldn’t seem to use my fitbit anymore with my android.

Winding Down and the Weekend (or, Time to Go to the Flea Market)

What is Fibermaxxing? (Or, Shouldn’t We Be Fiberminning First?)
I have to admit that I don’t pay a lot of attention to fiber. I eat a fair amount of fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds, and beans now and then. The concept of fibermaxxing, in my mind, makes me think that I’ll need a container of Beano to go with it. So how much…
