What do they say?

Take the time to read the signs. Do you know what to do in the times we are in or are you worried, scared and captivated by fear and are blocking out the ability to hear what is really being said.

We have gotten so far away from the trueness of life and the essence of who we are that this is a time to reconnect with the source that helps you get in touch with the things that are most important in life. For me, love, family, friendship, helping others in that particular order, are the most important things. Society has so progressed forward that we beat up, step on and disrespect our fellow man to make it or keep what "we have earned" in life; be it a job, relationship, money, or things.

Recently I was let go from my job and although most people would panic and think the worst, I have been using the time to get closer to my source, GOD. This process has been so great for me because it has been a time for simplification of my life and my outlook on things. Growing up never thinking we were poor, and not knowing how to budget, being on my own has been a stretch for me because I am no longer afforded the opportunity to splurge over budget knowing that a paycheck will be coming in. Even though I have unemployment, the crunch is on financially leaving me waiting for my next benefits paid.

I am learning the basics of budgeting in a society that had gotten so far with improving upon improvements and taking both our economy and our environment further in to demise. We got so advanced that a rag and comet wasn't good enough, we needed to have the ready disposable wipes pre-filled with product to clean our houses; harming the environment and depleting our bank accounts. It has been an eye opener for me on simplifying my life and truly understanding what it means to count my pennies, budget and save.

So, as I am simplifying, I am also taking it back old school style, where I no longer have the need to splurge on things that aren't absolutely necessary; within reason an occasional treat. I can better identify needs and wants. And most importantly, I don't have to rely on outside sources to tell me what to do next, I know because of my ability to listen to what's really being said.
