The following is a message I just sent out to everyone in my Facebook Group Studio di Mare. For those of you who have not yet joined my group I did not want you to miss my message so I am posting it here (and it will auto-post to my Facebook Notes too).

Hi Everyone!
I hope that everyone had a nice Thanksgiving dinner somewhere (if you are among those in the U.S. that celebrate it). If you’ve traveled to someplace this weekend, today is a very busy day on the road to return home and I wish you all safe travels.
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted up any information regarding updates to my website. I have written a few posts since my last update and a few of you have read them and commented already. If you did, you may have seen my frustration as I have been under some stress with my finances and at this time of year it has made things particularly even more worrisome. As I’ve talked to others regarding my situation I know that there are many people out there that are facing my same concerns.
In the spirit of this holiday weekend I want to take the time to recognize some of the blessings I do have in my life rather than focus on the challenge before me. Being thankful for the things we have helps keep your mind focused on the positive and that will continue to attract more positive things to you.
First and foremost I want to thank you. All of my friends and family that support my efforts by reading my really long stories ;) and those that have joined my group here on Facebook. With your support and encouragement I know that what I am doing is of value and it is worth continuing to write to make my website a success.
As I have continued to stay positive and ask for help when I need it, the opportunities continue to come my way. I’ve continued to make contacts with people that provide useful information for the things that I am learning, I’ve picked up some freelance work to help make some quick cash for the immediate needs, I’ve heard of situations that remind me that things could be a lot worse than they really are, and I’ve received an early Christmas present from a very dear friend that understands my pain and wanted to help.
She sent me a course by David Ramsey called Financial Peace. It’s several cd’s with materials for a system to help get your financial budget back on track (or in some people’s cases to the track). I have been listening for the past couple of days and really enjoy his fun speaking style which makes learning this valuable information easy. If you are in a relationship where finances are shared (like marriage) he gives some really sound advice to couples on how to deal with the family budget and how to save arguments about money which is one of the leading causes for divorce these days. If you or anyone you know is facing financial hardship right now and would like a game plan for getting your financial life together, I recommend checking David Ramsey’s course out. He speaks on public and satellite radio stations, is syndicated in several newspapers, his course is taught at many local churches and other venues, and there is an online program available too. This is a great gift for someone you love whether they are facing hardship or just starting out in life as a young adult. His site is currently showing a discount on some of the products that might only be available during the holidays.
You can find a link to his website at http://Studiodimare.com under the Business & Finance page of recommended links. Remember to explore my site as you are shopping during the holidays. Sometimes I have discount coupon codes available for a business or product that you may be shopping at or your using my links could just help me out by selecting my affiliates.
Thank you again for your support and may your holiday season be full of love, laughter, and abundance.
yours in peace,
Stephanie
