I recently read a book called "The Secret". It's about the power we all have within ourselves to attract what we want to our lives, we just have to learn how to harness and focus it. It was an epiphany for me in that most of what is in the book, on a subconcious level I already knew. What it did for me was remind me that I CAN have what I want in my life, all the money I will ever need. Money that will allow me to give to the charities and causes I believe in, give to me church, do things for my family and friends, and travel or buy whatever I want, whenever I want. I intend to do just that. I was recently laid off from my job (Vice President of Development for an affordable housing program), due to the current mortgage mess. When this happened, I realized that I didn't want to go out and get another job to work for someone else, I wanted to work for myself. I want to control my own destiny. As you well know, it's easy pickings for those who take advantage for those of us who don't know what works and what doesn't. However, I always believed that the right thing would come to me, one way or another. I am a petite and attractive 50 year old woman with no retirement plan. This fact alone is quite scary. I am still fortunate though, even with being laid off and my finances dwindling. As it happens, my mother, sister and I all live together. This happened after my father passed away. He died in his sleep 1 week before he and my mother's 40th wedding anniversary, leaving her completely devastated. I was married and living in California at the time (no children). It was a little tense at first...3 African American women living together under the same roof. But we get along great. We are the "Golden Girls" with an extreme tan....smile. My goal is to be a successful home based business owner and to help as many others as I can along the way. Ahhh...I can visualize my Bora Bora vacation right now...
