An otherwise gloomy day — barren trees, chainlink, and industrial concrete — is made beautiful by three birds perched atop the drab warehouse.

In her late 30s, however, with three kids in tow, she returned to school to pursue her true passion — art. “I had long ignored the call to draw and paint, and could do that no longer,” Sharon says. At 40, she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Louisville and has never looked back. She has spent the past 19 years dedicated [...]

The material does not have much initial value (as it is made from brass and covered in a thin layer of silver), but Roxy transforms it into art using a saw to cut it into jewelry and a torch [...]

What are three smaller, realistic things I can do this year to change my money situation? “First, start a budget. Yes, that sounds very tedious and boring, but budgets are empowering.
