HERE I GO AGAIN...

I started writing this blog in 2007. Within the first few posts I admitted that I have a short attention span and start and stop things all the time. I had a good run at posting and then one day, stopped. So here I am now re-interested and re-wanting to share info I learn from experts and other folks on how to get and live rich.

At this point I am the only one reading this blog I am sure. I 'll tell my mother and my sisters and my best friend that I have started up again. Those women know me pretty well but in case someone else accidentally winds up on this post, here is how I define RICH:

RICH IS HAVING ENOUGH FREEDOM TO DO WITH MY LIFE WHAT BRINGS ME THE MOST JOY.

Top Ten Things that bring me JOY:

1. Being able to live with myself and my decisions
2. My Family
3. My Friends
4. My Health
5. Service to others
6. Interesting and Challenging Work
7. Learning new things
8. Having new experiences
9. Getting enough sleep
10. Shopping

In the theme of this post, I offer you this: HERE I GO AGAIN! I...can't...stop...laughing! It's brilliant and Tawny Kitaen was hot. Someone should bring big hair back as an economic stimulus maneuver.

BEING RICH DEFINED...

While I am working out the HOW to get there, I am a little clearer on what it WILL look like when I get there, this place called "rich." In all my reading of motivational, entrepreneurial, and personal development books I have become pretty good at the first step they all suggest as a starting point...HAVE A VISION. Without getting too kumbaya about it, MY IDEA OF BEING RICH IS HAVING ENOUGH FREEDOM TO DO WITH MY LIFE WHAT BRINGS ME THE MOST JOY.

Top Ten Things that bring me JOY:

1. Being able to live with myself and my decisions
2. My Family

4. My Health

8. Having new experiences
9. Getting enough sleep
10. Shopping

I am not going to lie, I do like to shop. I like shoes, clothes, books and Crate & Barrel. Very much. I am mostly a DO girl, but partly a HAVE girl and I'm ok with that.

What is your definition of rich?
