Honey Bees + Financial Dreams

Thank you Lexington Law Firm for sponsoring this post. A high service partner and consumer advocate that will help you fight for the credit you deserve!

Hello, friends! I hope that you are safe and well. Spring has truly sprung here in our little corner of the world. Our garden is beginning to take shape, the earth is awash in color, and the beautiful scent of spring is fresh in the air. It is such a beautiful thing to witness after the long, dark winter that we had. Spring warmth brings it with it so much promise. I am filled with hope at the moment and it’s got me thinking happy thoughts about our family’s long-term goals and dreams. I want to share a little bit more about all of that with you today.

So let’s start at the beginning, with the bees. From the time that I was a girl, I’ve been fascinated with honeybees. Every year my family would travel to the local county fair and I would spend hours in the bee exhibit watching the bees move through the observation hive. In spring, I would wait eagerly for the flowers to bloom so that I could watch the honey bees buzz from blossom to blossom collecting pollen. I have spent a lifetime loving the magic that bees make–from their perfect wax combs, to their sweet golden honey.

About ten years ago, my lifetime love for honeybees manifested into a dream that one day I would have my own honeybee hives. As it happened, my partner Jimmy had that same dream around the same time. But for both of us, life ended up taking unexpected turns that put our honeybee dreams on hold. In the decade that followed we both went through a lot, from marriage, to children, to struggle, to divorce, and finally the difficult process of beginning our lives all over again.

As anyone who has been through it knows, these kinds of life circumstances negatively impact so many areas of your life. Today I will talk about how it can affect your financial life and credit, and more importantly, what you can do to fix it and move forward. Going through a major life change, like a divorce, can lead to so much confusion in terms of your credit. Inaccurate items can pile up on a credit report quickly through the process of separation. Every year millions of Americans are denied loans for homes, cars, and other dreams due to errors on their credit reports. It can take up to four months to correct these errors, which is a lot of time when a person is working to rebuild their life.

There are many ways to move through the process of correcting errors on your credit report, but it can be complex and confusing. This is why our family has chosen Lexington Law Firm to help us navigate the process. Lexington Law understands the complex consumer protection laws that give us the legal right to dispute inaccurate items on our credit reports. They work with the credit bureaus and individual creditors to help people like us understand our rights and use the law to fix credit errors.

We have just recently begun the process of credit repair and correction, but so far it has been going well. We are so excited to move through this process and get our finances exactly where we want them to be so that we can continue to rebuild our lives and make our dreams into our reality. Over the winter, we collected all of the items that we would need to begin our long-time dream of becoming beekeepers. Then, in April, our first two colonies of honeybees arrived. It was so exciting and our hearts were filled with so much joyous gratitude as we watched our mutual long-time beekeeping dream come true. It truly felt like an answered prayer.

Our first couple of months with the bees have been so much fun. They truly are the most incredible little creatures! We have done a lot to practice suburban homesteading here at our home, but one day we would love to expand our efforts further by owning more land. This is why it is so important for us to get our finances in good order. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I know that it can feel daunting to take on the task. But if you find the right team to help you, it is a manageable process–especially if you choose a trusted service provider. We feel assured knowing that Lexington Law is the oldest and most respected name in credit repair, and has the legal experience and technology to both advocate and drive results for its clients. We can rest easy knowing that we are working with professionals that have a deep knowledge of consumer protection laws and know how to leverage them for our benefit.

One of our primary goals through this process will be to push both of our credit scores into excellent levels. We want to grow our homesteading projects and that will take more land to make this dream come true. We would love to expand our bee hives and gardens, get lots more chickens, and one day even get goats and pigs. Some of these dreams are possible here at our home in the suburbs, but others will require more space.

We don’t want anything to hold us back from pursuing these dreams, especially not something like credit that can be fixed with the right tools. We will be working with Lexington to get everything in order and I will be sharing our journey with you right here. Follow along with our credit journey over the next few months, and stay tuned for an opportunity to start your own credit journey!
