How I started Blogging

Would you like to know how I started blogging? OK I think this story should be told by all the bloggers out there in the blogosphere. It establishes how each of us got started in the crazy journey to reading an insane amount of posts and then eventually writing another thousand posts. The time frame was 2007 and I had some debt I wanted to get rid of, I read the Dave Ramsey book called,The Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness and this gave me a better direction for my money goals.

What makes your World go Round?

OK I have come to the realization that we all go through life for a specific purpose. Problem is that many still do not have an idea of what that may be. If you can just stop checking your Facebook status or Instagram pictures every 10 minutes, then you too can ask yourself what makes my world go round? It can be something within you that you still have not realized or maybe the vision you once had is a bit fuzzy.
