Then three years ago my husband left his full time job for charitable self employment.
For one year he worked, traveled and depleted every penny of our savings.
We needed a new plan.
Some said, "See, you're paying the price for a poor decision!"
Maybe.
But in addition to being broke we met some amazing friends, traveled the world, re-fell in love and never felt more connected. So to that regard, we made the best decision of our lives.
Now, we're building our life back up. And it's a tough road.
Except that we are ridiculously satisfied and happy.
Which makes it all worth it.
Which is why I love this photo of a church I took on a recent road trip.
You see, I believe Elizabeth Gilbert is correct when in Eat, Pray, Love she says, "Ruin is a gift."
Finance Friday is a documentation of my struggle with our recent financial situation. It's heart wrenching and vulnerable and soulful. But it's the truth. I'd be honored if you read a few entries.
