Christmas Episode
moneymotivationandmotherhood's podcast
Memories This Christmas will not be the same as any Christmas before. This year is different. It’s full of people. Or, it’s just you. It’s overflowing with craziness and crowds of noisy folks gathered. Or, it’s the peace of a quiet time with just your favorite person. But it’s somehow different than Christmases past. It may be missing someone dearly loved who waits for us in Heaven. Or, we are separated by distance, or even separated by hurt. Today, this Christmas, we bring these memories into our present. We’re going to put aside the pain to rejoice in the celebration of the day....

#2- A Little Whine
moneymotivationandmotherhood's podcast
Every day is a blessing that you get to live. A Great and amazing adventure, filled with thrills and chills. You are really so blessed to be where you are, with so many folks who love your face. You have ALL THE THINGS. You have transportation and don’t have to walk miles in ‘shoes’ made of plastic bottles. You have shelter, a place you can make cozy, and not a cardboard shack that floods and washes away your few belongings. Speaking of belongings, some of us have SO many things that we have a storage unit to hold our extra stuff. That’s prosperity. But….but… But these daily...

Episode 1 - Mistakes Made & Lessons Learned. The Story of Us
moneymotivationandmotherhood's podcast
This episode is going to be a bit personal, to help you know the mistakes I’ve (we’ve) made and the lessons we’ve learned. Some of our story has a lot to do with messed up LIVES and NOT just messed up finances. We met and I decided he was the boy for me within a few weeks. Mort? Not so much. His heart was still with a woman whom he had dated and loved, who had rejected him. Months into the relationship, he let me know he still felt torn, caring for her and beginning to care for me. But I had known many guys and hadn’t met anyone as thoughtful and kind as this rascal. I was smitten....

You have ALL THE THINGS. You have transportation and don’t have to walk miles in ‘shoes’ made of plastic bottles. You have shelter, a place you can make cozy, and not a cardboard shack that floods and washes away your few belongings.
Speaking of belongings, some of us have SO many things that we have a storage unit to hold our extra stuff. That’s prosperity.
But….but…
But these daily blessings don’t ever seem like enough. And we demonstrate that with our little whines. We would never make a giant production about how shortchanged we feel in life 15 year-old us had EXPECTATIONS. 35 year-old us had dreams, man, and look at things now! It isn’t going as planned and that brings out our little whine.
I’m not discounting the realignment of our dreams and expectations with our real-life LIFE. I’m not suggesting that adjusting our thinking isn’t a thing.
But adjusting our thinking should not involve whining over what we ‘should’ have had.
So, life is a blessing. But it’s also filled with bad things, with HARD things. Disappointment and pain meanders through it like a stream through your town’s center.
And like a stream, it sometimes overflows its banks, washing away bits of life, and forever changing direction.
So yeah, life is a blessing, but.
What are we going to DO about this dilemma, this dichotomy of the breath of life and the disappointment? In adjusting to a new reality, the transition can be sloppy. With kids it often results in a loud and long-lasting whine that curdles our blood.
As adults, are we that different? We had expectations, had our hearts set on some event or thing. We saved for years for a goal, only to have things out of our control turn life upside down.
We mourn, of course we mourn. But do we really all the rest? The self-pity? The drama? The whining?
Because most of the time, the events that trigger our whining are little, unimportant things. The daily annoyances and disappointments and we are feeling sorry for ourselves, forgetting all the blessings that we have every day, all around us.
Living a life of whining means nothing Is ever enough – for long. It’s a sour life, a miserly life- I mean how can you be generous when you are certain life is ripping you off?
Is THAT part of the dream you had of your future? A dour face, a whining pout, arms crossed over yourself as you feel robbed? Imagine what this looks like to your Heavenly dad. How would YOU feel if you had a child like this…?
This grouchy attitude doesn’t bring joy to your life, OR to the lives of those around you. Whining brings down every mood.
If you are leader, in your home, in your workplace, in your community, you are sharing this germ with others. You aren’t SOLVING anything. You are bringing a sadness to those you touch.
You don’t want to have a disappointing situation spiral down into crazy darkness. You can change this with a nap, with some music, with a walk, with a chat with a trusted friend – who may kick your can in love.
Because life is a blessing. Your job, your street, your closet of clothes, your ‘fridge full of food, the sky full of stars. All of this, so beautiful, so good. And all yours.
Let your heart be glad, little bird. Let your voice be light. Let your joy be contagious. Let the whining cease.
