This post on being penalized with a lower FICO score for paying off debt early is post #6 in my series on financial freedom and spirituality. Once upon a time, I had a FICO score of 900. Okay, okay, not really. It was actually something like 842. I had lots of credit card debt I…

Emotional and Financial Freedom: Debt-Free and Spirituality in 2013
Yes, I’m still alive! Really. Busy, busy! For those of you who were worried about my absence, thanks for asking. It wasn’t that anything was wrong–too many things were right all at the same time. For most of the last 3 months, I’ve been working 10-12 hours a day on a high-viz project, then coming…

Lightening Up
Copyrighted by Lorna Tedder. Originally published in Passion to the Third Degree. I am lightening up. It’s a process of elimination, either of what has been holding me back or what has been weighing me down.

Divorcing Your Financial Future
Two female friends are going through divorces right now. They left their husbands not for other men but for their own physical and mental health.

Santa’s Mail Box?
I’m checking out my mailbox for who’s been naughty or nice. Sometimes I get unsigned posts and anonymous emails through online forms. Those intrigue me. The hate mail is easy to pick out right away and I usually know the identity of the sender before I reach the last exclamation point (usually about five anywhere …

Looking Forward
Everything in my bones says the next few months are critical. A major life turning point. Whatever new course is set in motion will happen then. And just for fun, I ran a planetary influences chart to check the astrological weather for me…and I don’t remember when I’ve seen…

It’s a Wonderful Life
More has happened in the past year than I dreamed possible, and other things I’d dreamed have not yet come to pass, though I understand why now and they are just beginning to come into place now. I guess that makes this a pretty special time, sort of a bit of walking between the worlds,…
