The Money Jar.
The year was 2011, and I and my young son were living in income-based housing in a somewhat rough part of town. I was barely supporting us through odd job and online gigs. I was fortunate enough to qualify to not have to pay rent on our apartment but I still had the rest of the bills to pay, including a ridiculous propane bill in the winter. Before anyone scoffs at this, let me tell you this is not fun, it's not easy, it downright blows. Living in income-based housing is two steps away from being homeless, and there is a stigma that comes with that, which is very hard to overcome.

World Of Art
The world is a beautiful universe. It’s meant for us to explore and be of good cheer. It has so many opportunities for you and I. We can be who we want to be. We have the ability to choose the path of our life. It’s up to each and everyone of us. I chose to be at peace and do what I love. Most importantly we need not to be stressed out for the things we can’t control. I’m ready to explore the world and leave the stress behind. We have to work together no matter how we feel. We should always be of good cheer through out the year.

How To End 2020 And Start 2021 Being Grateful
If you had the power to click one button on a remote control and jump right into 2021, would you do it? At this point most of us would not hesitate to do so; saying the year 2020 has been tough is an understatement. Before you leap, there is one catch though. Once you hit the button, you cannot change your mind or look back. Some would still tap the button right now, while others are a little more cautious. As you are thinking, consider what the aftermath of this global pandemic has done. It has put us front and center with unexpectedly knowing what it now feels like to be unprepared in the worst way worldwide and uncertain about what lies ahead in the future.

Shifting From Employee to Boss Bitch
So you’ve decided to start a business - woohoo! You’ve quit your job - told your boss where ta’ file any last-minute assignments and have made the proud walk from cubicle to car, grinning from ear to ear, humming Eye of The Tiger to yourself & focusing intensely on NOT tripping over your own feet, as you balance a flimsy box containing your favorite coffee mug, desk plant & weeks worth of stinky Tupperware - because we all know that’s what that dark bottom desk drawer was for.

What is Money?
'Money makes the world go around' as many times as we heard that phrase, theres some truth to the statement. We all need money to pay our monthly bills and rent. We need it to provide food and water for our families. We need it for valuable resources and to start our own business.
