Introduction
It always amazes me how a book comes to be written. It’s been said
that we often teach what we most need to learn. My friend Carol Jordan,
who has a few more years of wisdom than I, once wrote me a note
responding to something profound that I'd said to her. In the letter, she asked
me: "Who's the teacher and who's the student?"
At one point in my life, several years ago, I felt much more like a
student of prosperity principles than a teacher of them as one financial
challenge after another rose up to greet me like an old friend.
It was challenging to stay focused on the good in my life when
everything around me appeared to be falling apart. I'd like to say that I was
calm and serene throughout it all. But I most certainly wasn't. Anxiety
welled up in me and tears came to my eyes as I pondered what I needed to
"do" to "fix" the situation. I ranted, I raged, I cried, I sputtered, and I opened
my mouth and asked for help.
Then I took a deep breath and stepped back to assess the wreckage.
What was still salvageable? And what was all this financial chaos supposed
to teach me about my relationship with money? I discovered two lessons in
those events.
The first lesson was a reminder of how grateful I am for the love and
support of the people in my life. Their generous gifts helped me resolve the
immediate financial crises. Another reminder of my abundance came in the
form of an e-mail I received from the Chicken Soup For The Soul daily
message the same day the financial crises first hit.
The daily message talked about a man named Fred Lloyd Cochran
who was standing outside the Chicago Art Institute, next to one of the grand
stone lions that guard its entrance, when a gaggle of geese flew overhead. He

paused to watch, as did a nearby bag lady. After the geese passed by, Fred
and the women made eye contact and the bag lady smiled, then turned to
walk away, talking to herself as she went. Fred was amazed to hear the bag
lady let out a sigh of contentment and say "God spoils me."
That simple phrase, "God spoils me," resonated with me deeply and
carried me through a few tough days, even through a winter storm. I saw the
treacherous ice storm as a wondrous winter painting and I could see how
God spoils me, indeed, with a 30-minute spectacular crystal view. The next
evening, working at a client's, I turned and breathlessly beheld the most
fabulous sunset.
Regardless of your thoughts and feelings about God, I hope you’ll
take the time to read through this booklet. In it, you won’t find any
scriptures or direct references to the Bible or any other religious text. What
you will find is the truth about our connection with whatever name you give
the swirling energy that created a blade of grass, a snowflake, a sunrise.
God spoils me. God spoils you. Prosperity teacher Catherine Ponder is
always reminding us that we are children of a rich and loving God. And
what better way for us to be treated by our Divine parents than to be spoiled
with abundance?
Yet we often get so caught up in the form we want our abundance to
take that we don't see that our true riches are laid out before us. And when
we do see them, we all too often push them away or discount their value to
us because they’re not taking the form we truly desire.
All the events that unfolded during my week of chaos carried untold
gifts. Among these gifts were friends who tithed of their time, talents,
treasures, thoughts and prayers.
How did I open myself up to receive these gifts? I started by
identifying exactly how much money I needed, and when I needed it by.
This set the ball in motion. Within 24 hours, one financial challenge had
been dealt with even as two more rolled in. Forty-eight hours later, the

remaining financial challenges had been resolved and I had been blessed
with the reminder that my intuition or my trust in God was on course. I
asked for what I needed, or didn’t ask for what I needed, depending on the
person I was interacting with.
I followed my intuition and my spiritual guidance where it led me,
making phone calls that I was guided to make, putting my request out into
the Universe/God, identifying what I was willing to give up in order to be
open to receive what I needed. And the Universe/God responded.
Likewise, I followed my intuition and my spiritual guidance when it
told me to hold back discussing the financial challenges with those whose
energy would not contribute to my financial healing, doing so with love and
compassion for myself and for the other person. The Universe/God
responded again, revealing new areas that needed healing and opening my
mind to the possibility that there was yet another book inside me, waiting to
be borne.
The second lesson I learned was that I still had areas where I had to
heal my relationship with money. As a result, I made seven commitments
about money that determined I was willing to honor. These seven
commitments germinated a seed of an idea that became a series of articles in
my e-zine The Art of Abundance , and then became the booklet you are
holding now: Heal Your Relationship With Money: An Adventure in
Creating the Life You Desire.
I’m in the process of expanding these articles to create a new book,
however, I am currently guided to share this information with you now, so
you may begin to put them into practice in your own life.
I share these seven commitments with you today to offer you insight
into how you can overcome your own money worries and fears and make the
commitments that will help release you from your limiting beliefs so you
can heal your relationship with money. You may also find it helpful to
download a copy of my Healing Your Relationship With Money
Workbook . The workbook, used together with the free e-booklet, will help

Through these seven commitments, we can all develop a more healthy

used for good, to better ourselves, each other, our communities and our
planet as a whole. Now, let's get started on our adventure:

relationship with money I am committed to clearing up anything in the way
of my ability to do so.
COMMITMENT THREE : I am committed to my own complete
development as a financially independent individual.

revealing myself, to not concealing myself.
COMMITMENT FIVE : I am committed to the full financial empowerment
of people around me.

am 100% responsible for, and the source of, the current state of my finances.

relationship with money.
