If I Had More Time
I often think to myself, "If I had more time...", did you know that there is 86,400 seconds in a day? It seems like a lot, but let me tell you that it is not. I often ask myself, "Where did the time go? What did I do with that time? Did I take advantage with all the time that was given?'" Often times, the answer to those questions are most likely no. Why is that? I remember as a child I would often say, "I wish I was grown!" Sadly, you are an adult a lot longer than you are a child. As I write this article, it is the 30th day of 2021; ALREADY? Where did the time go?

2020 Is Over; Now What?
Watch the above video, then read my story. I hope that it blesses you and it has me. It's the 5th day of a new decade; what will we do now? 2020 was a very trying year; who knew that it would change the way we live as a human race than ever before. Instead of dwelling on what happened, I'd like to talk about what could be the most EXCITING time of your LIFE! Often times, I wish that I had more time to do things better; more time with family, more time doing what I love most; travel. As a single parent of two, I had to sometimes work two jobs just to make ends meet; and even that wasn't enough. And because of the absence of their fathers', I felt that I had to play both rolls, and build good memories with my children; but there was never enough TIME or MONEY to do that. And when I did have a little something extra, it wasn't like I was able to take them to Disney World or something lavish for them because of the Lack of Time that I didn't have becasue of a job that I had to go back too in order to continue to provide for my family of 3.

How to Receive A Raise On Your Paycheck!
BEFORE TRAVORIUM: I've worked a J.O.B(Just Over Broke) since I was 14 years old. My first job was painting a church for a summer work job. I was always taught to get good grades, go to college, get a good job, and I would be successful. I've done fast food, to watching children at a daycare in order to make extra money. After high school, I joined the Air Force, and thought that I'd be travelling around the world, making all this money...little did I know, I was actually setting myself up for failure. I ended up getting married, having children, and working two jobs just to be able to take care of the two children that I had; and even that wasn't enough! It seemed like the more money we made, the less money we had after all the bills were taken care of...and that put a financial strain on my marriage, on top of other things, so it ended quicker than it began.
