My URL for this blog is http://niccoleapoetry.blogspot.com/ which was OK back when I started this blog thinking I would post some poetry here... but... I have rarely posted poetry on this blog! I post poetry to my facebook, my livejournal, my tumblr, even sometimes to my twitter... but rarely here. So... I will make it a point to post a poem here at least once a week and at least one other poetry related post per week as well... let's see how that goes for me! :-P

Back to this blog...

I have been neglecting you poor Blogger! I will be more attentive I promise!


So I will make it a point to post at least once a week here. Mostly poetry, but I am on a journey that I need to have accountability for so I will be posting about that as well.


To put it out there...

I'd like to do a nationwide philanthropic poetry tour to help artists learn to better handle money and stay out of or get out of bad debt. I'm in the process of getting contacts for venues and learning to better my own finances first. Because I am learning it for myself too, I'm aiming for no later than late 2013, early 2014 to get on the road.

This involves also finding out how to make a living while waiting for the art to be enough to support me by itself. I have poetry, painting, and eventually photography to work with so hopefully between the three, I will be able to support myself soon.

I have a LOT of introspection to do over the next year or so. I know that to change my life means that *I* have to change. SO... I have to contact the organizations that can help people and see how it works so I can spread the word to others.


These are the companies/organizations I have found so far that can help teach people how to handle money, provide insurances, legal assistance, etc:
americasaves.org
debtfreeamerica.com
www.primerica.com
www.prepaidlegal.com
www.aflac.com
(who sells individual traditional health coverage??)

Perhaps between all of them, they can sponsor me to get a 1 year greyhound pass to do this. I will be a vagabond financial teaching Johnny Appleseed! :-)

34 down, 9,966 to go...

I will re-post this periodically until 12/31 or the goal is reached... whichever comes first.


I still have a goal of 10,000 views on my website by the end of the year. THANK YOU to all of you who have looked at the site (34 of you so far) and an EXTRA BIG THANK YOU to the couple of you who have passed my link on to your friends as well.

For the rest of you... please look at the 3-minute flash presentation and please pass it on to your friends. Thanks! :-)
