Ever read a book that had a lasting impact on you way after you had finished the last sentences? Months, even years, down the line you’re still pulling tidbits from it and referencing it in daily conversations? Well, thankfully, I have read quite a few books like this over the years and Thursdays at Eight by Debbie Macomber is one of them.

The Divatude Collection
Being thankful for life’s little blessings helped me get through the big storms. My daily gratitude journal was my way of reflecting and realizing just how much I had when I thought I had little or nothing. There were days when it was really difficult to list just one thing I was thankful for, but over time it got easier because my attitude and way of thinking began to shift. I was beginning to live and think with an attitude of gratitude and saw the positive, the blessings of life in the smallest of actions.

Making Moves: Preparing The Way
I am declaring that we will be making moves in 2014, Divas!
As we make our SMART goals and challenge ourselves to follow-through and be accountable, we have to prepare ourselves. As with any journey, you have to make sure you pack accordingly, chart your path and ensure your vehicle is in tip-top shape.
Questions to Ask Before Making Moves
Welcome to National Financial Literacy Month
April is recognized as National Financial Literacy Month here in the US to help bring attention to how important it is to be knowledgeable about individual personal finances and to teach us how to establish and maintain (the hard part!) healthy financial habits.
Financial savviness is nothing new here at Divas With A Purpose and over the next couple of weeks we’ll have a new personal finance topic each weekday – including budgeting, debt management, savings and teaching our children how to be financially fit.
I know I’m not the only one that’s sat and planned out how I’d spend that financial windfall that’s going to come someday, right?
If money weren’t an object, I’d go back to school full-time to complete my degree and continue on with my Masters in Business Administration. I’d, also, work with my non-profit, the Lillie-Helen Stroke Awareness Foundation, full-time and take it to the next level.
Some of the items on my bucket list for the next 5 to 20 years are:
- Completing my MBA
- Becoming debt free
- Taking a family vacation to Washington, DC and Birmingham, Alabama
- Becoming more organized
- Sending my parents on a vacation
- Travelling to Paris and Africa
- Taking a cruise to Alaska
Financial Literacy Impacts Short and Long-Term Goals
Goal setting is the first step in attaining the items on your bucket list. By specifying what you want to attain, it gives you clarity and something to work towards. It gives you motivation and inspiration. It provides accountability and helps you to formulate SMART goals. It’s hard to get anywhere when you don’t have a starting or ending point.
