This year I decided that I would do all I could to become financially literate. I became a huge fan of Money Girls Quick and Dirty Tips podcasts on iTunes. When Money Girl released her summer reading list last June, I researched each book she recommended and chose those books that seemed best for my husband, Jun and me.

Jun did not want this book initially as he said the title sounded cheesy. But after reading the reviews, i insisted. We were both glad that this book made the cut! it is one of the easiest to understand and one of the most enjoyable books i have ever read.

The parables in the Gospels have always been appealing as they relate deep spiritual truths in story form.This book is exactly like that, teaching basic financial principles for wealth building in a way that even children can understand.

The topics cover savings, investing, hard work, and a wonderful plan for getting out of debt. The stories, written in the 1920's are set in ancient Babylon and yet, they are applicable today. This is a book parents can read with their children.

One of my favorite excerpts:

5 Laws of Gold: ancient wisdom we can still bank on

1. Gold comes gladly and in increasing quantity to any man who will put not less than one tenth of his earnings in savings (pay yourself) to create an estate for his future and that of his family.
2.. Gold labors diligently and contentedly for the wise owner who finds it profitable employment, multiplying even as the flocks of the field.
3. Gold clings to the protection of the cautious owner who invests it under the advice of men wise in its handling.
4. Gold slips away from the man who invests in businesses or purposes with which he is not familiar or which are not approved by those skilled in its keep.
5. Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who follows the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.

Do you feel slightly sick most of the time? Do you lack energy? Do you get headaches and or stomach aches frequently? Have trouble losing or gaining weight? Have trouble getting a good night's sleep? Do you feel like something is wrong but you just can't put your finger on it? We felt this as well.

I really debated about writing this but our experience was too good not to share. While researching about how to boost immunity, increase energy and feel better, I came across a website that talked about parasite cleansing. I've always known that most of the population has some sort of parasite. I just never realized how parasites can rob us of health. I didn't realize that they cause some diseases, appear to mimic tumors, make swiss cheese of our organs, rob us of nutrients and dump their toxic waste into our bodies making us sick.

I came across a website called Humaworm.com and read it thoroughly. I even emailed a ton of questions and received a prompt response. Humaworm is a wholesome, family run operation that has been dedicated for years to helping people cleanse from harmful parasites and regain health. Humaworm is passionate about educating people about parasites. They use the freshest herbs that are hand ground per order so you are sure that what you are getting is the best, most potent product. They ship all over the world and the customer service is excellent. They tirelessly answer questions and even have a forum at curezone.com called, ask Humaworm, where you can post questions and get answers not only from Humaworm but other people who are parasite cleansing. Best of all, Humaworm is very reasonable especially compared to what else is available.

We began the 30 day cleanse and felt immediate results. We had better, deeper sleep, allergies we had lived with disappeared, energy levels increased and my children had no more stomach or headaches. Although we all decided that we would not be as adventurous as other parasite cleansers on the curezone forum who check to see what's been removed from their body, one of my children did have an experience. That child coughed out tons of larvae from their lungs! We learned that some parasites incubate in human lungs and this is a reason for respiratory distress.

We are coming to an end of the 30 days on Humaworm and are so glad we found this product. We plan to use it the recommended two times a year. Please do check out their website. It's interesting and just might have some of the answers you are looking for.

I know that this book came out a long time ago but I only just had a chance to read it. Tuedsays With Morrie is about a dedicated professor, Morrie Shwartz, who is dying from ALS and his meetings with his former student, Mitch Albom. Morrie, who is slowly dying from ALS, a disease without cure, has decided to share his experience of preparing for death to help others learn to truly live. It is a beautiful book that encourages each of us to love others, to open our hearts of compassion, to mentor others, to use our unique gifts and talents to be a blessing to this world. Tuesdays With Morrie is inspiring and it serves as a reminder that God desires each of us to appreciate all that He has done and given us. If anyone is "down in the dumps" or wallowing in self pity or just needs a shot of encouragement, pick up a copy of this book.
