Stuck!

Jennifred Jones

Don’t allow yourself to remain stuck thinking…

‘I don’t know about…or how to…’   You’re holding yourself back.

Part of the purpose in life is to grow and develop what we like, who we are and begin to share and help people. It’s so fulfilling to be on a path talking with others about newly attained interests.

So, what interests you? What do you want to know more about?

  • Different sizes of bird eggs and why?
  • Sunset times across the globe.
  • Which plants do better in the sun or shade.
  • Why linen is more sustainable and easier to grow than cotton.
  • Where can I collect rocks?
  • How do I mix a batch of concrete?
  • How to start a campfire?
  • How can I make bread?

Pick an area and begin to inquire more about it. talk to people, read online or at the library. Anything to get you moving again.

One of the best things is to go outside, get some fresh air, take a walk and let your mind be free to look at what is there and what you already have.

Let’s get ourselves unstuck so we can move freely in life.

We really can!

The Money-Tool

Jennifred Jones

For some of us, (me included) we need to rethink one of the tools in our toolbox…..MONEY!

Dad was a cabinet maker with all sorts of tools in various sizes, shapes, types, and each one produced a result by the work of his hands.

He used his tools to make many, many enduring pieces which our family still has and uses today.

Back to money. It is a tool in our hands to be used to make and shape things.

This tool can be used to build structures, organizations, fund projects or fund your own family.

We need this tool. We need to learn how to hold it in our hands and use it to begin a helpful idea or venture… use it to grow and develop something worthy that another person started, but needs help with their money-tool…so we come alongside with our toolbox and help them out….think modern day barn-raising.

Money, like any other tool, is neither good or bad. It all depends on how the craftsman decides to use it.

Our world needs money, we have a lot of people with lots of needs. We need money (our way of bartering) to meet these needs.

Let’s all (me included) take whatever time we need to figure out how to use this money tool…get it out of our toolbox, sharpen it up and start using it to build up.

Let’s not despise this tool, but take full advantage of it.

Think together with me….have I been misusing this tool, have I left it alone in the toolbox afraid to touch it? Have I been letting someone else use my money-tool that doesn’t know how it works and diminished its value? The tools in my toolbox are my responsibility.

What do I need to do today to take better care of and get more use out of this much needed tool?
