Hello again and Happy New Year!

Well, here we are, one month into the new year. According to most polls, this is about the time that most people abandon their New Year’s resolutions. My goals for this year are simple yet challenging and I’m determined to make them a reality. The first is to finally publish my book on personal finance Three Bucket Money Management. As a matter of fact, the weeks since the last update have been all about finishing up this manuscript. It’s been very productive as far as that goes. I’m hoping to be completely done with the manuscript, including re-writes and edits by the end of February. Then it’s a matter of finding an agent interested in representing the book and selling it to publishers. Wish me luck.

The second writing goal is to finish my first novel. To be honest it has taken a backseat to Three Bucket Money Management these last few weeks. But as soon as the manuscript is done, the novel moves into first place on my list. Along with this goal comes improving my writing. So I have a few writing classes coming up.

Unfortunately, all this work on the manuscript means that there aren’t very many new items on my blog. So what’s new this month? There are three poems that have been up since the last update. Cry for joy, a piece inspired on a trip I took to Santa Barbara right before Christmas. I came upon some street musicians and a little boy dancing his heart out. It made me think of how complicated life gets as we grow older. The two newest poems are The Fortress and The Final Words. I hope you enjoy them.

By the way, don’t be shy, if you visit the blog, click on comments and leave your thoughts.

I deeply appreciate your support,
