An invitation

I am excited to launch this new blog, Financial Serenity Today. I work as a Financial Coach in the in the nonprofit sector. I bring the unique experience of 30-years in the field of finance with an MSW (Masters of Social Work). The goal in my work, the goal of this blog, is to help people become more at peace in their relationship to money, and thereby find greater peace, hope, well-being in their lives. This blog is not about how to build a road to riches, for wealth is not best measured in terms of net worth or income. Wealth is most truly achieved in living a life that is true to your spirit and within which you can achieve financial serenity. My hope is that this blog contributes in some small way to you on your journey.
I welcome your questions, comments, feedback on any matters financial. I will respond to the best of my ability and welcome comments and input from others to enhance our collective wisdom. As is always true in matters financial, this is an interactive tool based on less than complete information about your specific circumstances, do use this blog to supplement your understanding of your financial situation, and do consult with appropriate financial and legal experts as appropriate.

Know how to find joy in your life and pursue it

Last night, Victoria Azarenka beat Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-0 Saturday night to win the Australian Open and take over the women's No. 1 ranking, all in her first Grand Slam final. Following her victory, Azarenka paid special credit to her grandmother, "the person who inspires me the most in my life." Azarenka has been a top player in recent years, but not yet won a major title before this weekend. Her grandmother shared with Azarenka before the Australian Open,you are not enjoying your life & work. Her grandmother at age 77 still works for a living in Belarus. Azarenka won more than $2.5M for her 2 weeks work! Her grandmother helped Azarenka discover the joy and privilege in what she was able to do, and therefore she was able to accomplish more than ever before.

What more can you accomplish! What do you wish to do with you life? As always, this message is not about earning the most money you can in your life, unless that is very important to you, it is about pursuing your dreams and enjoying the journey.
