It's March! It's Women's History Month/Women's HER-story month, Autoimmune Awareness Month, and Irish American Heritage Month. March includes notable days like International Women's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and International Day of Happiness plus some fun days like Pi Day and, of course, Beware the Ides of March Day. This year, Ramadan begins in March and Easter falls in March, too. For many of us, it also includes the beginning of daylight-saving time on March 10 and the 1st day of Spring (on the 19th this year!)
March is often thought of as the month for luck so I'm kicking off this month with a quote about luck from Oprah Winfrey: "I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn't been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn't have been lucky." I think that's a great quote - particularly for this time of year. Many of us spent the 1st few months of the year working on goals - that's preparation. Take some time to check in on where you are at with those goals so that when the opportunity comes, you will be "lucky"!
Wishing you the best that March has to offer!
To Your Success!

March is Women’s History Month, sometimes known as Women’s HER-story month. National Write Your Story Day also falls within the month of March on the 14th. With all this talk about stories, perhaps we can all be inspired to write our own stories and, maybe, even share them. Everyone has a story.
Stories have been a part of human existence from the beginning. Story telling and story writing are how information was documented and shared from one generation to the next.
Writing your story – any story about yourself – documents and celebrates who you are. You can hand write it or type it using anything you like. It can record important moments or memories. It can be about overcoming a challenge you faced or an accomplishment you feel proud about. You can write about what you have done and what you would like to do.
Writing your story can be therapeutic. It helps you recount and work through your journey and process what needs to be processed.
Sharing our story can help others but just because you write it doesn’t mean you have to share it. If you decide you would like to share it, you can do that however you like. You can store it away to pass down to another generation, offer it to a friend, read it out loud, create a blog, or consider turning your story into a book.
For women in particular, and, in tying into the observation of Women’s History this month, it’s important to note that women’s contributions to history are often missing or overlooked. Laverne Cox, an Emmy-nominated actress, Emmy-winning producer, prominent equal rights advocate, and the host of “Live from E!”, poignantly notes that it’s time to center women in herstory by shining a spotlight on their past contributions and committing to telling their narratives in the future.
Writing our story helps us to document and celebrate who we are. It helps us grow. Sharing our story helps and empowers others. Everyone has a story. This Women’s HERstory Month and National Write Your Story Day, let’s be inspired to write our stories. And, if we feel comfortable sharing, let’s be inspired to share our stories.
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.” — Brené Brown

Money Matters with Monica | |
Why are IRAs better for taxes?
With traditional IRAs, you are allowed to make pretax contributions, which reduce your taxable income for the year. But you will pay taxes when you withdraw the funds in retirement. You end up paying taxes either way, so what’s the difference? Well, most people are in a lower tax bracket after they retire than they were during their working years. Among other benefits, that means your retirement income will be taxed at a lower rate. In addition, the money that would have been used to pay taxes has a chance to grow in your account over the years, so there’s considerably more money in the account when you reach retirement age and start withdrawals. Roth IRAs also grow tax free, and they offer more flexible accounts since you put in after-tax funds.
