i love my daily worth.

a few months back, jena posted some encouraging words she had received in her daily worth email and i was so inspired, i went right over to the website to sign up to get my own money-related love notes! since then, i really do look forward to them every day. i thought i would share a couple with you, the ones that have been most encouraging and challenging to me. but don't take my word for it, sign up to receive your own! here is a good one to start with:

Waiting Out the Darkness

You've decided that you want something – a new job or career, a particular client, a new house, a move across the country – and you go after it. Here's the catch: It could take days, months, even years. You just have to be determined enough to wait out the darkness in between the “wanting” and the “getting.”


i breathed a huge sigh of relief when i read this. there was some more information at the bottom of the email, with a link to an article, and the words "getting rich slowly". which was exactly the reminder i needed. i will not save all the money i need overnight, it takes time. it takes time to build up a savings account for emergencies or overhead for a tiny business start-up. it takes time to save up for the things i want. and that is okay. it's really all about my attitude, my perseverance, and my patience.

  1. Right on, lady. Sometimes it can be hard to remember this, and a daily reminder in your inbox has gotta help.

  3. totally! and i think the slowness and waiting makes a person develop a deepness and a natural openness to others. less crazy and jumpy. i feel way more down-to-earth and happy than i did a year ago, just due to the fact that my life is staying the same.

  5. It's a work in progress to take the fluff out of our thinking, keeping to the single-mindedness and doing the "next" thing. Traveling the same road with you!
