Last week I was honored to have a book signing for Earn Grow Give, my personal finance book for women, in my home town of Tupelo, Mississippi, at the downtown landmark retailer, Reed’s Department Store. I grew up with Catherine Reed, who works in the gift and book department, so, personally, it felt more like a homecoming than a business venture for me. I was truly touched by the support of each person who attended the signing, especially since writing and publishing a book felt like a big and scary thing in my life. Did you know that you have a book in you? Everyone does, I believe, … [Read more...]

Protect the Earth

Year end is the perfect time to reflect on your money reasons, or the reason that growing your money is important for you personally. As a result of the Earn Grow Give Movement related to my Amazon book launch last month, I was able to participate in 2 kiva.org loans to help women grow their business. This was one of my very own money reasons related to the launch of my book. In both cases, each of these women needed just a bit more to complete their loan, so the small amount I donated meant that their loan was fully funded, at last. This was very exciting for me! The women I chose to … [Read more...]

Over the past few weeks I have been interviewing experts for the Earn Grow Give Movement Telesummit. I love learning and growing, and I know you do, too. The topics have ranged from style tips, to organizing to income tax strategies. These are all elements of creating a rich life. Last week I finally tracked down attorney and CPA Mark Kohler.

This week I am working furiously on the Earn Grow Give Movement promoting my personal finance book for women, Earn Grow Give; Simple Steps to Grow Your Money While Creating a Rich Life. I was thinking it would be nice to do an Amazon book launch. Then I suddenly awoke one morning with the thought that it would be nice to include a charitable component in the month that Americans celebrate abundance with gratitude, November. The next thing I knew, I just had to do this book launch benefiting a charity. I had heard of kiva.org, but had not participated in their lending program, so I took a … [Read more...]

My Black Patent Mary Janes

September 15, 2011 By Leave a Comment

For today’s blog, I want to share one of my favorite paragraphs from my personal finance book for women, Earn Grow Give; Grow Your Money While Creating a Rich Life. I am celebrating its listing on Amazon this week, but I am planning a great big fun launch with lots of goodies in November in celebration of gratitude month. The largest crime my mom committed was requiring me to wear my black patent Mary Janes year round, instead of providing me with white shoes for the summer months. I still recall feeling as though I was the only girl in the entire universe without white shoes, completely … [Read more...]
