These Is My Words

I just finished reading this book today! I really enjoyed it and "found" more time to read than I usually do. I stayed up reading until 1:30 AM three nights and told John I would stay up all night reading it if I didn't know I would have to get up in the morning with Ethan. I plan to pick up the sequel tomorrow at the library. Let's hope it's as good as this one! Here is a short description in case you are interested: "Based on the real-life exploits of the author's great-grandmother, this fictionalized diary vividly details one woman's struggles with life and love in frontier Arizona at the end of the last century." The main character, Sarah, is a strong woman and you will LOVE reading her diary! Let me know if you read it or have already read it and what you think about it.

Women & Money

I just finished reading this book and I am recommending it to everyone. Suze gives us steps to complete each month to get our finances in order including opening a savings account that pays more interest, getting out of debt, setting up retirement accounts, getting life insurance, setting up trusts, writing wills, etc. She writes in a way that is very easy to follow and understand. I found the whole section on retirement accounts the most useful because with all of the choices out there, it can be confusing.
