Just the start!

The website has had a face lift and a bunch of "stuff. (unwanted information removed) that is not relevant to my purpose or direction.

What is my new purpose?

As you can tell in the heading, I have $80K in student loan debt (which if you read prior entries) you will see that I have mentioned them before...nonetheless...I am not using my education.

I am not using my skills.

I am not working in my field.

I feel that I am "wasting" away in the world of office space  (safe happy office space)! Yet, I have valuable information to provide to parents, students, teachers, etc...and I want to pass this information on....I went to school for sooo long, and paid so much for my education. I have decided that I need to spread my wealth of knowledge and information---for FREE. (Some information will have a small fee attached, for my time and energy to compose, and create--however majority of the information is/will be FREE).

I have decided that I am going to provided my skills, my knowledge, my abilities, that I spent $80K learning...giving to you---to you while you venture down your path.

If you path is going to be college, teaching your own children, teaching a classroom full of students, curious about what your next career should be...this is just the start.

Why because I am finding my...a purpose--even if I have full time career that is stable! I just believe that it's not my calling...and my calling is to....

This is just the start

Please check out the tabs at the top. Each tab will have a specific area of content that I will focus on!

Please be patient ---still under-construction as i redirect my attention to "my purpose"!

TURN OF EVENTS

The past several months I have had a turn of events in my life, my way of thinking, and of course what I feel is my purpose in life.  Therefore, I am going to be restructuring this website!

In the very near future this website will be AD FREE.

In the very near future this website will provide a wealth of information and direction for a variety of people using my skills, knowledge, and education ---for your own personal gain and growth.

In the very near future, this website will have a true purpose other than to explain what I ate for lunch or did yesterday afternoon.

You will see lots of changes, including heading changes  link changes, and content changes. Please stay with me for the ones who have continued to read, while I have (off-and-on) written a story, a thought, or an expression. For those of you who are new, please understand--that I have struggled to find my place, my purpose in life-in writing, and in the blogging world. 

Right now, I don't need a place in the blog world, what I need is to enjoy my place in this world using my skills and my abilities, as well as my education! While helping you, educating you in specific areas--to be explained....later!

I may discuss some of the same topics discussed in the past, debt, credit, spending etc..however that will not be the focus. Because that is not my purpose or my purpose in LIFE!

Between the Words is changing format and purpose!!!!! I.E. UNDER CONSTRUCTION!

Stay Tuned....

Long Time

It has been a long time since I was here last--like over a month..yeek!

I am experiencing an internal debate.

Should I or shouldn't I close the blog. I journal nightly about how I am feeling, my personal progress and find it time consuming to make another entry.

I will attempt--to make an effort daily to write here, again. However I can't promise anything.

And after awhile, I will decide what the next step is.

Increasing Traffic?

Feeling a-l-o-n-e!

Feeling all alone in the blog/writing world.

Blog writing, is tough stuff. When I started, I started with the intension of "education". Then I diverted slightly from education to discussion about my debt and everyday life. I still try to educate, via discussion, through self-reflection, and questions.

However...my writing feels more like a journal that nobody reads.

I spend time pinging my blog.

I spending time researching ways to increase my traffic. I tried (for a minute and might return to the idea of affiliate programs. Affiliate Programs require a ton of research and time--which I don't have). I am not frustrated, not yet.

Increasing traffic has been a long and difficult process, and continues to be difficult. For the readers that I do have-Thank You for returning. For those who are considering, whether to stick around...it's really not that bad of a place--I talk about a variety of things-from Social Security, to Student Loans, to Taxes, Credit Card Debt, Debt Reduction, Life, and many more interesting things.

Feeling alone. Feeling like I am writing, to myself and purchased the most expense journal around, rather than the Mead graph journal, that I use...worst part is --I  might not be able to kept the content when I cancel my membership.

Even if my traffic does not increase into the hundred thousand rankings, and people don't recommend my blog to others, I will continue to write. I like writing. I like the glaring white screen looking at me, with the blinking curser...just waiting for words to be typed. It scares me...and that feels weird.

Good, weird.

Until then, 

I am typing...my words. Waiting for my traffic to increase...until then thanks for those who are reading.

Paying bills, again

Tonight...I spent some more time paying bills--again.

A little extra money came in the house and I decided not to spend the money on clothes for work, or make-up, or a new area rug! Rather I spent the money on my DEBT.

It's all about Debt Reduction.

So $450.00 in Debt Reduction. Awesome. I am going to try and squeeze out another $250.00 early March...I want to get through month.

Another a slightly different topic:

I have a friend that recently married after "knowing" the gentleman for about two years. And in conversation she mentioned that she recently discovered his surmounting CREDIT CARD DEBT! Not just the amount, but the number of credit(s), each cards interest rate(s), and amount owed. A little back- story here, she has lived with him, she bought a house, she married him, all not being aware of the amount of debt he had?

Side bar: I remember a recent ex, who lived with me--and he did not contribute, which I should of demanded more from him. However, I was aware of the credit card debt. I was aware of the past/present foreclosure(s), and past bankruptcy. I was aware of the credit card use, and bills. What I was not aware of ...is my ex's inability to pay bills, period! At least I was aware, more than I can say about my friend.

I question how somebody can be involved with a person for almost two years, and not know their Debt to Income Ratio? Get Hitched, Buy a House,  Want Children with them and not know if their spouse can handle money! Or if they are drowning in debt and super-high interest rates!

I also want to know why VERY SMART GIRLS get stupid after they marry? Why is it that after the ring is put on the finger --the girl, trust every single word, thought, concept that her husband breaths. Why? When these women lived alone and made decision by themselves, before their marrages...now they can't make a decision to save their own life--unless they consult their husband? 

I don't understand that metaphorisis at all!?
