So I started re-thinking the whole blog thing. I mean who really cares about my career through graduate school? Then I decided I want to do this for ME! So here I go...again.
I am just about be half-way done with grad school. YAY! I think. I have been reading the most amazing books, going to lectures (yes because I want to, not because I have to), and meeting some of the most facinating people.
I think this semester has again opened my eyes to the possibilies out there. Everytime I get close to being burned out, I start reading a book that renews my interest in something, reminds me why I am running myself ragged all of the time. That book happened to be The Soul of Money, by Lynn Twist. This book has changed the way I think about money.
Now I am not so doe-eyed that I think everything will be different. But small steps. Small changes. Give a little here. Get a little there. The basic premise of the book was money is connected to everything all the time. The rich suffer from money troubles just as the poor do. It is all in how you think about that little green piece of paper wadded up in your purse.
We give money this power over us that we would never let a human being have. So why give it to an inanimate object?
