Creating Sanctuary ... so that you can return to what matters to you.
There is no question that the pace of modern society has quickened for most. To some people that pace is fun and challenging, and for others it results in anxiety and depression if not kept in check. Do we need to keep in step with everything that is going on in the world? Is our productivity and efficiency keeping up, or is all of this multi-tasking heavily impacting quality, performance, and - most importantly -
peace of mind.
More than once in my life, someone has commented that I do not fit the stereotypical image of a bookkeeper. This may be true, but not only am I good at this work - I enjoy it. Any time I can help someone simplify, reduce stress and enjoy more,,, is a good day for me. Creating Sanctuary with your money is the first goal. Financial stressors loom over us with a powerful impact. Reducing this stress gives you the opportunity to rise above the mundane. Taking care of your money is the "bottom line" foundation of taking care of you.
The most direct route to Sanctuary is through simplifying. The less preoccupied we are on the outside the greater the freedom on the inside. As you simplify you naturally choose to reduce. What you want becomes clearer, and the other is less relevant. Priorities. Simplifying is removing obstacles and cleansing yourself of anything that obstructs your freedom to be who you want to be. It is a process to discover what really matters to you - enjoy the journey.
My formal education includes several degrees in psychology and extensive coursework in education. I have had considerable experience in business and bookkeeping, arts and entertainment, and real estate. My connection with nature is at the heart of everything I do, have done, learned and taught. You may say to yourself "bookkeeping and psychology, hmm?" What I have discovered is that by helping people feel confident and secure with their money reduces more stress than all kind of therapy. Get to the basics - get real.
I am a double-entry bookkeeper who uses the traditional accounting practices that dates back centuries. I did use Quickbooks for several years when i returned to bookkeeping, but have since created my own simple system using Excel for registers and financial statements, as needed. Not everyone needs formal accounting, but everyone needs a simple system to handle their money - be it personal or business. Using my creativity, accounting knowledge, and organizational and communication skills I help folks regain a sense of control and peace of mind.
Knowing that your financial and legal needs are taken care of is very freeing. It is comforting to feel confident that your affairs are in order.
