If some is good, more must be better, right?

In our culture we are so accustomed to messages that tell us that bigger, taller, and faster is better. We need more of this, that and the other. A quarter pound hamburger is good. Surely the half pound must be better. We super size everything from our food to our houses, in an attempt to satisfy our emotional needs and wants.

Partnership

Who are the important partners in your life and, in particular, your financial life? Your spouse? Your parents? Your boss or place of employment? Your clients?

The funny thing about money is that we often get so tied up in our heads with the partnering, planning, preparing and implementation of our “financial strategies” that we rarely begin at the beginning.

For the Love of Money

I always find it fascinating that most spiritual people are so quick to dismiss money and finance as part of the seeker’s life and journey. It seems to me that this reticence to deal with the issue of money is more a reflection of our discomfort with money, than the nature of money itself. I know that we have all been taught that the Bible that money is the root of all evil.

In fact, most religious and spiritual traditions say that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Finally I'm Blogging

After years of thinking about publishing a blog, I am finally here. A friend of mine inspired me to take this leap after consulting with me about her own idea for a blog. I said to her: "there is no risk." Strangely enough, after all the time I spent considering the idea, it boiled down to these simple words. So, I decided to take my own advice.

I have had the opportunity to share with a number of people recently, that I am more convinced than ever that our relationship to money is a window into our soul.
