Daydreaming of Eternity
I sit in my chair reading her text messages. Is it butterflies? Is it hunger? I am not sure. I met her on a dating app and she seems amazing. I am actually a little nervous to meet her. What if she doesn’t like me? What if meeting me ruins what we have built so far?

The Second, First Date
I was wearing my white dress, with the little pink flowers on it and puffy sleeves as I stood in the restroom at Charlie’s Bar and Grill, observing myself for the tenth time since getting ready. My date would be arriving in 15 minutes, so I wanted to make sure I looked perfect one last time. Touching my scar below my left eye, I wondered if I put enough makeup on to cover up the flaw. ‘Would he notice?’ Taking a deep breath, I gathered my new white Coach clutch off of the counter next to me. “You got this,” I whispered.

Financial Makeover
Financial goal setting, like many other goals in life, is more successful if you have a plan. There is a difference between a goal and a desire. Financial goal setting is important because many people have wants and desires, but never really follow through with them because they don’t develop a concrete goal to follow. Also if you create financial goals, you are more likely to be financially successful.

Time Vault: Prelude
Tyler: 2142 His heart raced as he rounded the corner. It was not like Tyler Jynx to get rattled, nor do anything too daring. His mediocre life, living paycheck-to-paycheck, pushed him to the edge. It was time to do something daring, something drastic, which is why he was sneaking into the Time Vault. The Time Vault is the establishment that regulates and controls time travel. They also have time guards, who travel through time protecting the timeline from rouge travelers. The rules are simple. You cannot visit your former self or anyone who knew, you cannot tell people about major future events, and you had to return to the exact time and place that you left by the specified time allotted. Also you had to be wealthy in order to travel not because of the law but because it cost $2,000,000 for one trip. In the year 2142 the average person makes only $200,000 per year after living expenses and taxes are paid and are left with a mere $20,000 if they are lucky. Tyler did not fit into the wealthy category which is why he chose to sneak into the facility.

The 40 Day and 40 Night Challenge
Every Morning: I wake up at 3:30am. Not because I have to, but because I need to. People have a tendency to live in a rush, a rat race that just is unsettling. It is bad for their health. You see I wake up that early, because I need to. For my health. I start work at 7:30am. For four hours I am my own. I own myself and spend quality time with myself. This month I woke up one morning and decided to start my own business on the side. Much of the groundwork is done from 4:00am to 5:30am. People are amazed that I started putting together my business plan on February 26th and by March 1st I was already a registered business and on my way to getting the business running. Currently I have about 6 employees ready to start in April. I also have time to write in my daily journal, something I started in January. You see, in January I was a mess and disorganized. I was a wreck, and just not ready for the world on a daily basis. I disliked myself, so I did something about it. Daily for almost two months I wrote in my journal. I wrote, daily affirmations. I wrote how I was feeling inside and how I was feeling outside. I wrote goals and plans and dreams. Between the hours of 3:30am and 5:30am, I changed my life.
