… financial fitness is not a destination but a way of being!

At the beginning of this year, I committed to offering a monthly tele-class on a specific financial topic to support your evolution through financial fitness. The following paragraph is an excerpt from January MoneyMoves News:

“I continue to hold the mission of service and to offer pathways for others to access it. My insight this year is, give yourself a break!
