Two Year Bloggerversary Update – Revelation Through Writing

April 27, 2020 By Deanna 10 Comments

Hello, my friends! I am reflecting on my two year anniversary since I began blogging, also known as a bloggerversay, on April 19, 2018. On that date, my first article on my own website was published. At that time, I was blogging under the moniker, Ms. Fiology. If you are here, you know I now blog at Recovering Women Wealth.

I’m a fan of celebrating milestones and/or anniversaries. Earlier this year I celebrated 10 years of sobriety and just before that a little birthday of 47 years. It’s amazing how the birthdays keep coming every year, but I swear I’m getting Younger Next Year. 😉

While I do stay active and fit, it only takes one weekend with my niece & nephew to remember, the years are stacking up!

Anyway, as time continues to roll forward and I’ve kept up the habit of blogging, I naturally have some reflections. Future directions? I am not so sure about that but I do know one thing, I’m called to write and teach.

If you will, please journey with me on this post as I share my reflections, lessons learned, intimate thoughts, and prayers for an uncertain future.

It takes a Community to Rebrand

August 19, 2019 By Deanna Leave a Comment

In my announcement about my rebrand, I shared how the name and tagline were formed. In this article, I will share the other details that are involved in a rebrand. Moreover, I delve into how/why it takes a community to undergo such a transformation. Women in recovery are no strangers to leaning on a village. Let’s face it, no one transforms alone and better yet, why would you? It’s so much more fun together.

If anyone has a brand and now realizes it’s time to change it, hopefully, these tips will help you.

Just a Little Update…

May 9, 2019 By Deanna Leave a Comment

Hello! I know I’ve paused Thursdays posts; however, I’ve been able to do a couple of guest posts recently so I’d thought I’d share them with you…

Guest Posts

Tim from Life for the Better reached out to me about swapping interviews for each other’s sites. His interview went live last week on my site. If you haven’t read his interview yet, I highly recommend it. Tim & his wife are killing it financially and you get to see a picture of their tiny home!

Additionally, I participated in an interview for his site which went live on April 25th…

Living a Better Life Interview

My name is Deanna and I’m a 46-year-old single female on the path towards financial independence. Even as I write those words, I’m in awe that this is even possible. My life has been a wild ride thus far. At the end of 2017, I finished digging my way out of debt. All in all, I paid off $46,763 in about 3 & 1/2 years.

However, the more miraculous part of my story is that I was able to get sober in late 2009/early 2010 from drug addiction/alcoholism. I came from a good Christian home but I grew up with a lot of insecurities and was always looking for my worth in things outside of myself.

Unfortunately, I found a false solace in drugging and drinking. I was a high functioning addict/alcoholic for many years which I think is the worse kind because we can go under the radar for too long.

The fact that I’m even on this redemptive path towards financial independence overwhelms me with gratitude every day.

How are you living a better life than you were last year? 5 years ago? 10?

Oh my on this question! I’m sure by my answers, you’ll see the polar extremes of Deanna. Five years ago, I was just starting to work on my financial life. At that point, I had been sober 4 years and had really worked deep on the roots of all of my issues.

I had found peace and reconciled with my past.

Although, I was craving financial peace so I put out the call for help. Many people steered me towards Dave Ramsey and a woman from my church met with me and helped me get on a budget. That really was the first key to gaining control of my financial life.

Ten years ago, was another story. At that time, I had long since walked away from a promising teaching career and gave into a life of addiction. I had also accepted to be in a destructive relationship where I was beaten down by words.

I was at the lowest of lows in my life.

In August of 2009, I had a vision and prayed/asked for help for the first time in years. Furthermore, I got out of the destructive relationship and quit drugs. On February 1, 2010, I committed to full sobriety and quit drinking.

By the grace of God, I haven’t found it necessary to take a mood or mind-altering substance since.
