Dancing with the Unknown
You’re sitting in the small car, hip to hip with a stranger, hands taut, gripping the shoulder harness. You push it out a few times to make sure it’s locked…you do it 5 more times…just in case. Suddenly you jolt forward and your climb to the top of the hill begins. Click, click, click. You […]
The Blessing of Worthiness
Our excuses come in all kinds of sneaky disguises that cause us to think they make a lot of sense. But really, they’re very similar to our limiting beliefs. Excuses take our beliefs and run with them. You could say they’re just our beliefs in sheep’s clothing. When excuses take hold, our self-imposed limitations are […]
Learning to Say Yes
One of the key ways we deepen our connection to heart, mind and soul is by learning to say “Yes!” Yes to our deepest desires, yes to the opportunities that call to us, yes to telling the truth to ourselves in every moment. Sometimes saying “Yes” can feel like saying “No.” I had no idea […]
Your Love/Hate Relationship with Money
I’m not a CPA or a financial advisor. I’m no economics wizard. But I’ve lived the steps in my latest book, Worthy: Boost Your Self Worth to Grow Your Net Worth. That doesn’t mean I’m “Miss Perfect” when it comes to my self-worth or my relationship with money. This is a lifelong process, so I’m still working […]
Live Your Life Today
Writing is how I solve and dissolve complex equations of heart and head…and poetry has the ability to connect us to one another. I offer my poem, “unbound,” with the hope that it speaks to you wherever you are in the present moment. unbound we may never know how we hold all we can or […]
The Power to Choose
Making one powerful financial decision—in my case, to consult a financial advisor—changed my life in a number of positive ways. I learned more about the world of finance, got control of my purse strings, and grew my self-worth all at the same time. What about you? Isn’t it time to take action toward the future […]
Are you willing to be Worthy?
How do we take stock of our worthiness quotient? First and foremost, we notice ourselves in the act of self-judgment. One of the easiest ways to tell if your self-worth could use a tune-up is judgment. Do you get very upset when you make a mistake? Do you say, “Argghh! I’m such an idiot!” Do […]
Take Inventory of Your Beliefs
Some of the beliefs that affect our finances have little to do with finances at all. What is a “belief.” A belief is a long-held idea about how the world works and our role within it. We all go through our lives as though our beliefs are facts. But if there’s one thing I want […]
Take Off the Blinders
Whether we make our own money or rely on someone else, many of us would rather pretend our financial matters don’t exist. Or we hope they’ll just take care of themselves somehow. My ex-husband was like that. He always said, “I bank by prayer. I go to the ATM and pray that money will come […]
Experience Freedom
When we feel that we aren’t enough, or that we aren’t good enough, we also fear that we’ll never have enough. That fear is a self-fulfilling prophecy, in which we unconsciously make sure we never, ever have all that we need. It’s a painful arithmetic going on in the shadows of our unconscious, which many […]
