Feature Article # 1: Life's Focus
If I asked you "What are the 3 most important things to focus on in life", what would you say?
As you may imagine, this could be a long and complicated list since folks would have different answers. These answers will change depending where you are at in your life, your age and your experiences,
I have three topics that everyone can benefit from focusing on;
#1 - Have faith (Great topic to explore!)
#2 - Have fun (Sense of Humor)
#3 - Have a Plan for life (a flexible plan!)
In following issues we will dig deeper into each of these three, as well as offering tips in workshops

Feature Article # 2: Saving & Investing 101
One of my favorite conversations to have on the topic of 1noney is helping folks to fully understand the meaning of allocation, saving and investing. First, you may know someone or you may be someone who only has money in a checking account or cash. There is nothing wrong with that but many times, those san1e folks, if asked about putting some money into a stock market fund, will shy away and say they are not risky or they do not want to gambe their money away ....
The thought of anything to do with stocks immediately causes then1 to think of high risk. When they hear that this is not the case, it's enjoyable to watch a new world of possibilitiies open up for them!
Checking accounts and/or cash in a box does not allow your money to grow. We all want and need liquid available cash. Once you have a sensible budget, set the goals for your money Set aside the money you need as cash, then begin to plan an investing journey that meets your goals, is acceptable to your risk tolerance, and, most of all, utilizes all of the options available including the flexibility that allows you to change your mind and ·still experience growth without feeling nervous or uncertain.
Key Words: Allocation, Risk Tolerance, Safety, Growth and Goals. We will touch upon these in future Feature Articles as well as Workshops. Email me questions or additional topics you'd like to discuss on this topic!!
