Wrapping Up the Summer Bucket List

For many of you, summer vacation has already come to an end; your kids have been in school for a week or more already, and you are back into the swing of the school year. Where I'm at, we start just before Labor Day (why we don't start after Labor Day, I don't know). Just three days before my birthday, I'll ship my kids back out to school.

10 (Personally Tested!) Ways to Earn an Income from Home

About one year and four months ago, I left my traditional part-time job to pour myself into the writing of my very first book, Courageous: Living the Fearless Life God Intended, which released on April 29, 2016. Since the completion of the book (actually since before I started it, now that I think about it), I have been seeking various ways to earn an income that doesn't not involve traditional full-time work outside the home. The ultimate dream is to start investing in stocks, but we will need some help from Stocktrades before we try that! We tried that before,…
