Thank you toZelle and Mindy Kalingfor a funny upbeat chat about how to not just survive the holidays but THRIVE! How does she do it?
Zelle found that the top three stressors are: MONEY, FAMILY OBLIGATIONS and TIME.
Mindy says: The perfect gift to give is CASH using ZELLE
How do you make time for YOU?
Mindy says: “Self care will make me a better parent!” Her top priority is to get 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep so she can be the best mom for her kids.
Zelle wants you to be financially savy! To be successful, you need to be MONEY SMART! Two thirds (2/3) of American adults need more financial skills around budgeting, planning for your future and paying off their debts. Figuring out credit card bills, health care costs and mortgage payments is stressful for many people. Becoming a parent inspires many people to do a financial audit, figure out a plan and make a will.
Mindy’s TIPS for your financial future:
STOP shopping online out of boredom. Only buy things you really want or need.
It is important to not only save money but also to invest wisely.
Many women are uncomfortable to talk about money which is why Zelle wants to sponsor more conversations like this to normalize it!
Does Mindy make New Year’s Resolutions? YES! and Vision Boards! Read more about her process in Vogue Well Intentioned!
She talked with James Corden on The Late Late Show about her vision boards:
This year her resolution is to be more healthy! She wants to lose weight and be healthier to live a long life with her children!
In the film, Leo Woodall plays Niki White, a gifted young piano tuner in New York whose heightened auditory abilities allow him to detect even the faintest mechanical sounds.
Neil Sedaka was born March 13, 1939 in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Mac and Eleanor Sedaka. His father was Sephardic and his mother Ashkenazi; Sedaka was a transliteration of the Hebrew “tzedakah.”
Can you imagine what it’s like to read about a Persian prime minister seeking to destroy the Jews – as the Jewish army is finally fighting back with the American army against the Persian Jew-haters?
We write as current and former UC faculty, many of us in STEM fields and professional schools, in response to the release of When Faculty Take Sides: How Academic Infrastructure Drives Antisemitism at the University of California.
It turned out that this first round of sirens was a wake-up call, a warning that Israel and America were attacking – so we could expect a different day of rest than all of us had planned.
Though there was uncertainty about what would ensue in the days following, those interviewed by The Journal acknowledged the strikes against the Islamic Republic in Iran constituted a pivotal turning point in the history of the Middle East.
America’s new muscularity has placed the world on notice: This is no longer the United States of Obama and Biden. Red lines will be enforced. Provocations will not be ignored. Allies will be defended.
