This one is about me

What you may not know about me is that I cut off all my hair. Yup. All Natural! It is odd. I must say. I do not like how I look. I think I look like a boy. (Although I receive a lot of compliments about my new look.) However, I have switched to all natural hair products for all of us. My hair is healthier, thicker and stronger. Right now, I use products to make it curly. It looks like Samuel L. Jackson from pulp fiction. Definitely NOT the business. But, because I have to wait for my hair to grow out, it is teaching me patience in other areas.

I officially started the dissertation process this week. I have to write my prospectus. (It is a fancy paper to justify my topic to a group of people.) Once the prospectus is approved, I will start writing various chapters of the dissertation. That is pretty exciting.

I have purposed to be debt-free in six months. I am on a very tight budget. I carefully calculate my expenses. Debt is from the very pit of hell. I think it is awful like a noose around the neck and you are just waiting for someone to pull the chair from under you. I am done with it. Tired of it. NO MORE DEBT.

I have been reading a lot of magazines and books on finance and investing. Pretty excited about that as I prepare to buy my first stock. I am truly getting in a better financial position.

I also want to get married and have a family. There are certain criteria that I expect my future spouse to meet and I am sure he feels the same. Fiscal irresponsibility will not cut it. Living by a budget is healthy and smart. God does not care about you having nice things. He cares when your family and peace are destroyed in pursuit of the things. I am excited about this year. I look forward to sharing wonderful testimonies of God's blessings.
