Hi! my name is Lynda, things that are important to me is spending time with family and friends and taking care of myself so that my family doesn’t have to. I want every moment spent with family to be spent making happy memories. There is nothing more expensive and time consuming than being unhealthy.
Gardening is another one of my passions. Weather permitting, I take time each morning and evening to survey my flower beds. I love discovering new blooms and enjoy the satisfaction of pulling up pesky weeds that appear overnight. These walks also give me a few minutes to slow down and appreciate all the blessing in my life. Even if things are not going your way right now, I believe there is a reason. You may not know it right now, but eventually you will understand.
I’ve spent many years in the financial industry and have been fortunate to work with generous colleagues who shared their knowledge and insights on saving and budgeting. In this blog, I hope to give you some information, resources and my perspective on things that I have found to be helpful. After a lifetime of working in the financial industry, I have seen how important it is to be financially secure.
You may be wondering about the name of my blog: Savings and Butterflies.
When I was a little girl, my mother told me that she thought butterflies were really prayers fluttering up to heaven to whisper in God’s ear. To her, their beauty and fragility seemed almost otherworldly. Butterflies, with their gentle grace, have always symbolized transformation and hope, transcending cultures with their significance. They embody the soul’s journey through life, representing change, growth, and spiritual ascent. To me butterflies carry a whisper of human hopes and dreams, tenderly delivered to a higher plane. This perspective, I hoped, would help you see the wonder in everyday moments, enhancing your appreciation for the beauty all around us.
When you put the two perspectives together; if you save your pennies and say your prayers you will be able to succeed at anything you put your mind to.
