Have you ever made a New Year's resolution only to give up on it at the first sign of failure? In A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned, Sarabella Solomon shares the insights she gained from journaling a New Year's resolution about saving money. When her first plan to save a little each payday failed due to unexpected circumstances, Bella didn't give up. She found not just one way around the obstacle, but two ways!

Well, she throws that change into a jar and notes the savings on a spreadsheet. The amounts keep adding up, surpassing that of her original plan! Sarabella Solomon grew up in rural Georgia.

Her commitment to saving allows her creativity to shine "like new money".

Ms. Solomon is known by her Red Hat Sisters as Princess Bella; she is a member of the Red Top Mountain Girls, of Acworth, Georgia, an official chapter of the Red Hat Society. Bella currently resides in Cartersville, Georgia.

Early American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases
Author: Bartlett Jere Whiting
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674219816
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 626
Book Description
p.B. J. Whiting savors proverbial expressions and has devoted much of his lifetime to studying and collecting them; no one knows more about British and American proverbs than he. The present volume, based upon writings in British North America from the earliest settlements to approximately 1820, complements his and Archer Taylor's Dictionary of American Proverbs and Proverbial Phrases, 1820-1880. It differs from that work and from other standard collections, however, in that its sources are primarily not "literary" but instead workaday writings - letters, diaries, histories, travel books, political pamphlets, and the like. The authors represent a wide cross-section of the populace, from scholars and statesmen to farmers, shopkeepers, sailors, and hunters. Mr. Whiting has combed all the obvious sources and hundreds of out-of-the-way publications of local journals and historical societies. This body of material, "because it covers territory that has not been extracted and compiled in a scholarly way before, can justly be said to be the most valuable of all those that Whiting has brought together," according to Albert B. Friedman. "What makes the work important is Whiting's authority: a proverb or proverbial phrase is what BJW thinks is a proverb or proverbial phrase. There is no objective operative definition of any value, no divining rod; his tact, 'feel, ' experience, determine what's the real thing and what is spurious."
