I have been reading Suze Orman. It amazes me how little I thought of finances for so long. Of my own financial well-being. Of my finances in general day to day, month to month realm even. The only time I ever really thought about it was when I was extremely poor. I thought about it all the time then, because I never had enough to get me through the month.

The thing that strikes me most about this book is that she is writing it for all women. She specifically says that we need to take action to control our destiny. We need to see how incredible we are. We need to understand that we are worth so much more. We think a working family is more important than money. It’s true. All of it is true. I’m scared because of my family. But at this point, I almost can’t afford not to do it.

Valuing yourself. Give *to* yourself as much as you give *of* yourself.

I don’t know what this means yet, but I am trying to figure it out. Something needs to change, and it’s not just my budget or cutting out the cable. Something big, in order to control my destiny. I can feel a big change is about to come. Imagine the possibilities and go for it.
