I am thirty-five years old. I am married and have one daughter. I am a Kindergarten Teacher. Recently I decided that I am sick of living paycheck to paycheck and suffering when an unexpected cost comes up - like my car needing to be fixed. I bought Ramit Sethi's book "I Will Teach You To Be Rich!" and have made MONEY my project. Of course I would love to easily win the lotto or inherit some grand amount of money from a rich relative- but it hasn't happened yet. So, I decided that if I was going to "get rich" or at least get smarter about money I was going to have to do it step by step. This is my blog journaling my journey. As a teacher I am off work for the summer (lucky, I know) so I obviously have a bit more time on my hands now so I hope to make a good bit of money this summer and according to my money-guru Ramit "once you start earning, it becomes much easier to earn more."

Good Morning Elzbieta. Nice to have you back in the blogsphere. I have been in two papal audiences myself, once (1989) in San Francisco at Candlestick Park (I think its been renamed), and then (1995) in Rome at an actual General Audience in the Paul VI Auditorium. Both times the pope was still in pretty good health. I think these are the only times in my life I have actually experience real "charisma". It was amazing to me how one can experience the emotional energy of one individual on a large crowd. It was way beyond being at a concert and seeing your favorite band or celebrity. It makes you think of the concepts of power and influence and how it can be used for both good and evil in the world. Did you experience this phenomena too?

Hello,
Rob and I were talking about how we had the chills and felt truly in the presence of something magnificent when I posted this. It is amazing the feeling we had when we walked up toward the center of St. Peter's Square only to find the Pope giving mass. We were so excited and in awe. Americans get teased abroad for great exaggeration in the use of the word AWESOME, but it was.

Yes, the live experience brought out emotion I never experienced seeing even the most touching scenes of the Pope on TV.

Rick - Al Gore was alive? He always seemed like dead wood to me.
Adele, I agree that seeing him in person leaves you with a feeling of inspiration. Like I said earlier in the comments...like you were definately in the presence of something awesome. I hope it wasn't the rosary I bought her at the Vatican! hehehe
