Shell's Sentiments

Here’s a question for ya: do you want the same job in 2021 that you had in 2020? 

Was job stress (or even job loss) at the top of your list of worries this past year?  

The holidays are a stressful time for many people. Not only is there more to do, but there’s also a family dynamic that often brings more stress. Siblings, Parents, Cousins...and let’s not forget that uncle who, every year, you wish would just stay at home.

But instead of wrapping one more package this holiday season, why not “wrap up” those pressing family matters that are a source of ongoing stress.  

 This is not fun for anyone, but….

Holiday spending often leads to bigger bills in January. But have you thought about rolling into 2021 with finances that are solid, a budget, you can follow and laser-beam focus on getting out of debt? 

In a recent post, I talked about wrapping up 2020 so you can create the life you want next year.  But for too many people, “wrapping up” their finances in December means ignoring their credit limit, spending too much, and saying “I’ll get to it” when it comes to eliminating debt. 

Stop being a slave to money and debt. That’s not cool. 

There is something about homemade sausage balls that lets you know the Holidays are near. 

Well, if we are being honest, this recipe is so good I make sausage balls year round.  Especially during the school year. Sausage balls are my go-to quick breakfast on those lazy mornings. 

I think it is safe to say that 2020 was a year that many people were focused on their health.

Were you?  

While many people were busy social distancing and stockpiling, many people overlooked other health conditions, zoned out or skipped their workouts altogether,  rationalized work-at-home snacking, and saw their stress levels skyrocket.
