Money and worthiness

       I took these photos in my backyard...I am blessed to have this as my view

Being financially responsible is part of taking care of ourselves. It builds a sense of security that
we all deserve to have.

Being financially successful is making good healthy choices about money, avoiding reckless decisions that sabotage our means to pay bills, buy food, etc. There's no security in having to live paycheck to paycheck.

The state of our economy has forced many of us to question our spending, as well as our values around it. Perhaps somewhere in the process of wanting more...we stopped appreciating what we have. And what about our children who have watched us? Will they develop an unquenchable thirst
for more?

I feel extremely passionate that every woman should have a nest egg set aside for her future, whether she's in a relationship or not. We need to protect ourselves, instead of being vulnerable to what life brings. Twelve years ago, my husband who had never been sick, died unexpectedly. Thankfully, we had prepared financially for all possibilities.

Explore your relationship with money. You may discover that fear has it's nasty tentacles wrapped your core belief about worthiness. Are you sabotaging your security? Or do you have a fear of spending money...you feel guilty when you treat yourself... you hold on to it too tightly...always worrying about having enough? Either way, become willing to change...if you don't have money in bank, make a goal to save $1,000 this year. And for those of you who do have money and are afraid to spend it, go out have some fun with it....enjoy your prosperity.
