I was able to print a coupon for $2.00 off two containers of Maxwell House coffee My local store has a bag for $1.99. I ended up paying one dollar per bag. I love coupons and we don’t even have double coupon days.

Thanks Daria for your insight. It all comes down to clarity. Action is important, but only after you are confident of the direction you wish to take. Your point of balance and the rhythm of cycles is so important for us all to remember.

This is the first time I have been able to print coupons. For some reason, the coupon printer programs just haven't worked for me. Also, some stores like Publix, won't honor coupons from the internet. I love my coupon organizer. It is called the COUPONIZER. If you want to be organized, this is the one for you. It is expensive at $20.00, but I find the organization is worth it. I think the website is the couponizer.com. You can have coupons clipped for you and mailed to your door. The coupon clippers charge a small fee per coupon and unlike the one print printable ones, you can order lots of the coupons you use the most. Their website is Thecouponclippers.com

I used the link to check out insurance for myself and husband. Very depressing, although it was good information to have.

There is a time for everything. A time of action and a time of rest. The rhythms of the days and nights, seasons, years and decades make evident this comsic interchange. Every breath we take is a respresentation of the divine dance of life. Each inhale bringing air into our being, each exhale a release back out to from where it came. As you stand before the ocean, you can not help but feel the grandiose of creation. And just as there is a rhythm in the tides of the ocean; there is a rhythm with you own boy, your own life, and in your relationships to everything and everyone on the planet.
With this understanding one can relax into all of their life experiences. Rhythm is reflected everywhere. In business there are times of growth, plenty, decline, pauses, followed by more activity and decline. Adaptation to the ever changing cycle of things creates new growth and the cycle repeats. Clinging tight to the past ways creates stagnation and blocks the flow of life. In this changing world everything is subject to building or breaking down. We like to avoid the breakdown parts of our lives, yet only in the breaking down and releaase can space be provided for newness to come in.
So embrace time of action doing the best you have to offer, and equally embrace your time of rest. In doing so a sacred balance is achieved, life will become effortless as you allow life’s rhythms to carry you. Daria

Comment on COBRA Health Insurance – Is there an alternative? by Marie Cutlip

Good information. A lot of people don’t realize the choices that are available to them or what some of the pros and cons to coverage are. This is straight forward and offers alternatives. I love the way you put together the options to consider. COBRA is playing a larger role in the coverage of individuals than ever before with the increase of unemployment and the government subsidy of the program with both the employer and the employee. The option to join in with a group is another alternative to getting more affordable health insurance. I would like to add that if you choose health coverage with a high deductible, there could be tax savings that would further reduce the overall health coverage costs. Health Savings Accounts (HSA) are a way to save health care costs tax free. HSA are not a health coverage plan but the tax free funding of high deductible health insurance plans. So when you are looking at alternatives, you may want to consider the added option of adding tax free savings to pay those health costs and deductibles. Thanks for the Great Information!

Comment on Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This by Lynn Shepherd, CFP

I agree with you wholeheartedly that we need to be good stewards of our money. But…

Remember the story of Jesus and the Money Changers? The story is repeated in each of the Gospels and tells about justified anger, with Christ overturning tables and driving the corrupt moneychangers from the Temple. This is what we need today. Leaders with a moral compass who will drive corruption out of Washington and Wall Street. It is a time for justified anger, for action, for accountability.

Thanks for taking the time to comment!
