## Milestones and Memories, Passion and Determination

February 4, 2015 By writing2reality 50 Comments

This has been a big week for me in terms of milestones. No, no, I’m not loaded with passive income or hit a monthly income mark.

January 3, 2014 By writing2reality 12 Comments

Who doesn't love the holidays? The opportunity to enjoy time spent with family, friends, and loved ones. For me the holidays are a tough and somewhat awkward time.

November 23, 2013 By writing2reality 10 Comments

Welcome to Write Your Own Reality (WYOR), my little corner on the internet, where dividend growth, peer to peer lending investments, and some other random financial musings are the soup de jour.

Seems like forever, or just 136 days ago, since I last posted, but the good news is I'm still alive, well, and investing!

## Proofreading Will Be The Death of Me!

March 22, 2013 By writing2reality 7 Comments

No seriously, proofreading sucks. I am a numbers guy at heart. Give me a spreadsheet and I will be a happy and contented man. I even have t-shirts that tout my love for Excel. But I digress; writing itself isn’t always a struggle for me, but the associated proofreading and editing of that writing? … [Read more...]
