A Comment on Setbacks

I just wanted to make a comment about setbacks in our debt journeys....Don't let them dishearten you from continuing on your journeys. Life happens, stuff happens, mistakes are made, numbers don't always add up correctly, sometimes risks don't pan out. It's part of the journey. Please do not give up!

Sometimes setbacks can provide us opportunities to learn, a chance to take stock in how far we have come or of ourselves. They can provide a perspective. Sometimes they give us a chance to make changes. We can learn from them. We can regroup and try again. We can overcome them. It's part of the debt reduction challenge. And you know what? We ALL experience this one time or another.

You are worth all the efforts it will take to erase this debt! If you are having a bad money episode, breathe. Breathe again. Keep breathing. You will find a solution, you will find a way to deal with it even if it isn't the easiest way or how you want to do it. Some pain is part of the journey.

Please do not give up!

Right on Littlesbigs!


We're experiencing a set back right now actually.

All my best,

Hi, Danni!

I'm sorry to hear your senegal isn't feeling well! I've been watching mine carefully the last 2 days as there is some weird strong smelling chemical in the hallway where I live, and it's not seeping into my apartment, thank god, but you know how sensitive birds' respitory systems are! (I have been trying to have the management here do something about it, but for some reason they aren't alarmed...not good.) My little guy is so precious to me, too! I'm a real senegal fan! I hope he is his old sweet self soon!

Amen to that!!!


A lot of times those set-backs work as wake up calls and you know life would get boring if nothing came along to shake it up from time to time!
