My take on makiing a more perfect Union is the continual process of improvement of the country.

 I’d like to see our educational system push entrepreneurialism rather than just focusing people on “having a job.”  If you just have a job, you are not building wealth, and you may feel unfulfilled, without heart.  Your expectations get pushed into a small box; rather than having big dreams to realize.  All of this can have an impact on your health.  Let’s take a deeper look at wealth, health and heart.

I am now a recovering perfectionist, and I strive to practice each of the ten steps of wholehearted living from Brene Brown on a daily basis.

The relationship between politics and justice has not changed since 380 BCE (before the Common era).  Plato defines politics as a “dirty business mainly to manipulate the unthinking masses, and fails to nurture wisdom.”  If we look at the lead-up to the events at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, we see how true this can be.

With the Biden win, we have preserved democracy for the time being. We still have work to do...alot of work.  We must continue the fight for democracy pushing back against fascist, racist rule...rule by oligarchs, rule by the few and rule by the worst. In the United States, we are still fighting systemic racism as we see in the unfairness of the electoral college and current tax policies.

I recently watched Hamilton and it made me think about our current state of democracy...the one we fought so hard to win from England. Here in the United States of America we have a choice coming up on November 3rd to keep our democracy.  

I love my country; I want my country to be the social democracy I think it was designed to be.  I don’t want to give up on democracy.  To move our economy forward and be the leaders for the world again we need the Green New Deal.  We need to make a change for our way forward toward a tax system that is fair, to a more inclusive society and world, and a nice planet to live on.  We need to remain the land of opportunity.  Please make sure you vote!

The number of stories about fraudsters taking advantage of unsuspecting victims seems to grow by the day. Of course, it’s easy to think, “This will never happen to me!” But to keep your money and personal information safe, it’s vital to stay abreast of the latest scams.

I believe that it is important to use your creativity every day. Living wholeheartedly is a practice I support and try to follow myself. I want to help you live your version of your creative life while taking care of yourself financially along the way. Financial independence is accessible. You can make work optional. Before you can be financially independent, you need to be self-sufficient.
