February Follies

 SOOOOO, how many of you watched the Super Bowl on Sunday? I LOVED IT! What you ask? 

First, it brought some childhood memories to an era that I grew up with. I was not a HUGE rap fan, but it was fun to listen to some of that music from back in the day. 

Second, I got to hang out with my daughter and vote against the team she was rooting for. Not to rambunctiously, but in quiet celebrations and talking to TV. 

Third, I did a pool for my customers for a gift card for products and my team, to get them to earn a new product that just came out. So at the end of each quarte, I checked my paper. Mostly no winners, but one customer won a Gift card o use on her next purchases. 

In a conversation yesterday and today with people around me, we discussed the craziness of making a big deal over things that don't mean anything (or what they want them to be).  Why do people, the media, the world HAVE to be critical and cause issues when there is none. When did entertainment not become entertainment? 

***Political Commentary***The world is full of a lot of hate and dissention because we are allowing the elite and politicians tell us how we feel. WHY? I do not feel the things they say I feel. The people I hang with don't think the way they say they do. Look, we are free to have our opinions and thoughts. There are some that ARE that way, BUT the majority of the world is not (in my experience). We need to be aware of those around us who are telling us to be careful. We need to listen to those who have escaped communism and control. THEY KNOW!!! They say we are slowly getting to the things they fled from. Canada is now taking steps to end democracy in their country. WE HAVE TO STAND AGAINST THIS in the United States of America. When we stand up for our rights, it's not because we hate America, it's because we LOVE America and do not want it to lose it's freedoms.

SORRY, back to fun. So I was listening to @DaveRamsey this morning and he was talking to a guy who is dating someone who thinks credit card, car loans, etc. are just the way life is. THIS DOES NOT HAVE T BE. STEP AWAY FROM THE DEBT!!! That is what I am working towards. Eliminating my debt. Now, I would love to say I am gazelle intense, but I am not. I am happy to say I am not adding any debt. Mortgage, another piece of land are almost paid off. It will be a great day! You do NOT need debt. You can get a mortgage through manual underwriting, you'll just have to find a program that will do it. Most companies won't because it is work, but it id doable. The one thing he talked about though was the condescending way the girl was talking to her guy. DO NOT LET OTHERS MAKE YOU FEEL WRONG FOR YOUR THOUGHTS OR FEELINGS!!!!!

I love sharing thoughts. I love working. I love my family. I take time to grow in my professional and personal life. I hope you will too.
