Yesterday my daughter and I attended a wedding in our old neighborhood. We moved away from that home and our dear neighbors next door some 24 years ago. The sweet daughter of that family was the beautiful bride yesterday. Even though many years and "much life" has passed in those 24 years, we felt like we were with family all day and we were so honored to be part of their special day. We even got to tour the backyard of the house that we lived in for 12 years. The house where my daughter lived for the first 4 years of her life. Lots of good memories made in our home and the home next door. And the time and distance between us was like it never happened. We felt loved and part of their circle.
So...why is my personal finance blog reminiscing about the good old days? Shouldn't I be talking about investments, rate of returns etc....? Because yesterday helped me reflect on what is truly important in life. For me, it's spending time with my family and dear friends, gazing at the amazing milky way in Borrego Springs with my husband, walking my dog at the beach, brushing my kitty (she is deliriously happy when I brush her), getting lost in a book for hours, going to Padres baseball games, planning our upcoming missions trip to Haiti, shopping for a bridal dress with my niece and family, cooking and planning healthy dinners. I could go on and on.
For my clients, I strive to help them figure out "how much is enough". So that they can spend their time on the things that are really important in their lives. Oh...and working with my clients... is one of the truly important and fulfilling things in my life.
