This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 14, 2007:
In a weird way, my greatest challenge right now is handling my recent good fortune responsibly. I have been so broke for so long, and now that I've received some money, it would be sooooo easy to just start spending and having fun. I deserve it, right? But, I have to stay aware and realize that I also deserve not to be broke, and if I spend without responsibility, I'll be right back in the same rut. I have to continue to spend wisely, not recklessly. Budgeting is not "fun", but it will save me from the agony of not having enough to pay bills, like I've experienced this summer. Not saying that I shouldn't have a little fun, of course I should, but I can't go overboard. That's never been my strong suit, but I believe that I can get better at it if I plan ahead.

hello there, abundance. i just had a reading with a shaman and she said to me: change your relationship with money.
huh? i fear money, which is why it is hard for me to hold. she suggested to not be afraid of it, and to accept it with appreciation and thanks(all the time - of course!). you most definitely should celebrate your gift. and when you’re celebrating, make a toast to you and how happy you’ll be in the upcoming months when you pay your bills on time - because it makes you feel good about yourself when you do so.
all the best.
