GREETINGS in the
Spring Season!
I love the Spring as it brings in the
beautiful weather of California and also a blossom of new
ideas and exciting outdoor
festival events. While browsing my personal
home library and my favorite bookstore, Border's Books, I
started reading 3 good books.
Girl,
Get Your Money Straight!, by Glinda Bridgforth
Body
& Soul: The Black Women's guide to Physical
Health and Emotional Well-Being, by Linda
Villarosa
The
South Beach Diet, by Arthur Agatston, M.D.
These books have given me a new direction
for organizing my thoughts about life in the way of dealing
with the challenges of managing a budget and also sticking
to a healthy diet plan with exercising on a consistent
basis. I highly recommend these two books and would
like to place emphasis on how we can achieve positive
results with our financial goals and diet
plans. Why am I talking about diet plans and
financial budgets? Because they both cause us a great deal
of stress which leads to obesity and bankruptcy! Well
to use the word "bankruptcy" is a little
exaggerated but it happens. However, negative
spending patterns do lead to falling into deeper debt that
you can not afford to pay.
African Americans especially women tend
to overspend and overeat which leads to depression.
So how do we begin to solve the issues of spending
paychecks before payday and avoiding the old familiar diet
intake of high-fat, high-salt, high-cholestorol, and sugar
habits. You must take the steps to empower
yourself. When you get a chance, check out these
books. The South Beach Diet has wonderful and tasty
meal plans where you buy regular food items from the
grocery store. My favorite recipes are those mixed
with salmon, steamed broccoli and shrimp. Did you
know that if a food item has more than 500 milligrams of
sodium per serving, you should not buy or eat it!
This was definitely news to me that I did not know about
until I started reading Body and Soul: The Black Women's
Guide to Physical Health and Emotional Well-Being.
Take the time to relax and read for
yourself about how you can take control of your life by
simply following the natural steps of healing old wounds
and changing your thinking pattern. Get ready to
change your diet plan and financial goals. If you are
tired of feeling powerless over your diet plan and/or
financial goals, seek the wisdom of reading and knowing the
solutions for yourself. What I am learning now
from the book, Girl, Get Your Money Straight, is
that a holistic financial program helps you to understand
your attitudes and identify your behavior patterns.
For every upcoming event that I would
like to attend, I'm now looking forward to improving my
health/exercise plan for a glowing image and also preparing
to save first and spend later.
