About the Site Designer: Shelly Durrell
It's only fair that you know a little bit about me and my background. Like you, I have had my share of ups and downs in my life, but through it all, I've ended up living a Great Life. I am one of those people who said "Someday I will write a book," and I did (Healing the Fisher King: Spiritual Lessons with Parzival, Gump, the Grail, and Star Wars). The book won five awards. I became a Kung Fu teacher (Sifu) in the Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis System and also a teacher of Tai Chi and other Internal Martial Arts, teaching for over 24 years. I've organized shows, demonstrations, and seminars, allowing me to travel the world for these promotions. I've done rim-to-rim hikes of the Grand Canyon. A few years ago I moved to Vegas, allowing me to trek to Zion, Bryce, and the Grand Canyon a few times of the year. I continue to learn, grow, and seek out new adventures, which is my definition of a Great Life. I hope my website will help you enjoy your life and find your personal adventures.

In dreams begins responsibility.

— William Butler Yeats —
You first have to have the financial dream, then you'll be able to apply the responsibility to achieve that dream. After completing the exercise, you can insert it into the Finances section of your DYGL Binder if you are not writing about it in a separate journal.

Balancing My Finances Exercise

  1. My Ultimate Fantasy.
    Do you want enough wealth to build an estate for your children's children's children? Is it millions for charity? The sky's the limit here.
  2. My Closer to Reality Dream.
    Is it a retirement account that will allow you to live your current lifestyle? Perhaps it is a college fund for your three children. Maybe you want enough money to take interesting vacations several times a year. Think a step up from where you are now.
  3. What Part of My Dream Do I Have Now and How Did I Achieve It?
    If you have a roof over your head and can feed your family, you already know something of success. Take a look at the positive ways you have managed your money.
  4. Why Haven't I Achieved More of My Dream to Date?
    Is your savings account lacking or non-existent? Are you clueless about the different securities that you could have profited from? Make that list for your future design.
  5. Design Brainstorming.
    This could be a collection of articles on financially successful people. Or a portfolio list of investments you may want to aim for. This part of your scrapbook may be the springboard for your other areas of life.
