Personal Finance From the Inside Out

My life changing Personal Finance From the Inside Out class begins this week! This is a 4-week intensive - fun and amazing!

CLASS BEGINS in Carmel on:
Thursday, January 21, 2010 6:30pm to 8:30pm
(Note: In February I will offering this course through conference calls, so you don't have to live in the Monterey Bay area!)
  • In this class, we take a look at our attitudes around money and ask our selves what financial freedom means to us.
  • We take a look at how simple, or not as difficult as it may seem, to achieve financial freedom.
  • We learn some simple guidelines for how to set up a budget and follow the budget.
  • We learn fun and creative ways for goal setting and list what needs to happen to obtain those goals.
  • Journaling happens!
  • We take a Money Personality Test; get to know your personality around money.
  • Learn to start thinking about how you can invest and empower yourself around money! ... and more!
Do you realize that more than 85% of the households in this country are run by women? Yet where did we learn to do this? Slowly over the last 40 years, men have turned this job over to the women! And women make excellent money mangers when taught all the skills!

If you live in the Monterey Bay area and want to sign-up, please email me NOW at: jewleyd@comcast.net. Class begins on Thursday, January 21, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We meet for four (4) Thursdays. The cost is $250.00 and you may bring a friend for FREE!

Warmly,
Julie

Meet Copia

In Roman mythology, Copia is the Goddess of Abundance. Her name means ‘abundance’. In addition it means ‘plenty’, ‘wealth’, ‘opportunity’ and ‘resources’. She carries a cornu copia overflowing with the fruits of harvest and wealth. “The Horn of Plenty”; a magical goat’s horn the gives everything anyone desires. It is important to mention that Copia is often associated with Fortuna, the Roman Goddess of Fortune, Luck and Fate.

But I did not purposefully name this blog after Copia. I was looking for a word that described a life of truth and integrity. I like the word authentic; Authentic Life. But it appears that many others on the internet like that word too. I also like the word intelligent; Intelligent Life. But John Tesh uses the phrase “Intelligent Life” on his radio shows. Then came the word copious; Copious Life.

Copious

Pronunciation:

\kō-pē-əs\

Function:

adjective

Etymology:

14th century Middle English, from Latin copiosus, from copia abundance, from co- + ops wealth

Synonyms:

Ample; abundant; plentiful; plenteous; opulent; rich; full; exuberant; overflowing; full.

Definition:

1 a: yielding something abundantly; a copious harvest, copious springs. b: plentiful in number; copious references to other writers.

2 a: full of thought, information, or matter b: profuse or exuberant in words, expression, or style; a copious talker.

3: present in large quantity: taking place on a large scale; copious weeping, copious food and drink.


Well, okay so this word will do. I know I want plenty of what ever it is I desire in my life; money, healthy, patience, joy etc., … So I’ll sign up and create a copious life!

When pronounced, copious sounds very similar to Copia’s. After researching and discovering a linguistic connection these two words have, I thought Copia was quite nifty! Since this blog is about money and I think women (mostly) will read this blog, I gave Copia a purse (because most women can relate to having a purse) instead of a goat’s horn.

So there you have it. That is who Copia is. Hopefully she resonates inside each of us.

Cheers to a life of abundance – A Copious Life!
