Here’s some miscellaneous posts I’ve enjoyed lately.

Keeping Secrets from Mommy – Awesome post for Jamie Ivey about why innocent secrets might be a bad idea. I had never even thought about this but she has some great points. No more secrets in our house.

Your Happiness Means Everything to Your Husband – Did you know that one of the primary indicators a husband uses to determine if he is successful as a husband and a father and a man is – his wife’s happiness. Great post from Peaceful Wife.

Comparisons will kick you in the teeth and hijack your dreams every time – You know I’ve been talk about comparisons and contentment quite a bit lately. This post from Gypsy Mama nails it.

Going on the road, but leaving you with friends

09.12.2012 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

Tomorrow I depart for a 13-day trip to the Southeast where I’ll be speaking six times. I’ll get to catch up with friends in Atlanta and Knoxville. Then I get to meet the beautiful Stacy Kennedy who was awesome enough to go down to the Dave Ramsey studio last June when I had my phone interview and take this picture.

When she heard I was coming to Nashville she even offered to have me stay with them. How’s that for online friendship? My husband thinks this is weird but we women get it, don’t we 🙂 I’m looking forward to getting the Nashville tour from a pro.

While I’m in Nashville I plan to stop by Financial Peace Plaza and hopefully meet Dave during a show break. I will try to be mature and mask my giddiness 🙂 Kidding. I mean technically I met him once, but that was before the whole book thing. Did I tell you that he mentioned my book on air again a couple weeks ago? I noticed my blog traffic doubled for two days in a row and I couldn’t figure it out until I saw a series of tweets. Super grateful to them!

I’m also attending the Quitter conference which I’m SUPER excited about.

Oh, and guess what’s kind of on the way between Nashville and Birmingham (my next stop)?

I’ll give you a hint.

That’s right. I couldn’t be that close and not make a stop at Graceland. My friend Kelly is going to fly in from Atlanta and join me, then ride along for my last two workshops before we end up back in Atlanta.

You can view my complete speaking schedule here. If you’re in Atlanta, Indianapolis, Charlotte, Nashville, or Birmingham I’d love to have you come.

While I’m gone I’ve got some awesome friends guest posting for me. I know you’ll enjoy what they have to say.

Financial Freedom

Taking Advantage of The Housing Boom

The next huge step in our financial journey really came in 2004 when the housing market in Phoenix went absolutely crazy. The house that we bought for $199,900 over a year earlier was suddenly worth about $350,000. Crazy right? So of course Mark starts talking about selling and I start rolling my eyes at him. […]

I Met Dave!

We interrupt our normally scheduled post for this breaking news… I met Dave! Yesterday I got the opportunity to volunteer at the Dave Ramsey Live Event in Phoenix. It was this same event 10 years ago that changed our lives. Before the show Dave came around and greeted every one of the 60 or so […]
