Navigating the Dark Side of Wealth
by Thayer Cheatham Willis |
"A favorite fantasy for those who aren't wealthy is what their lives would be like if they were. Certainly, it's not hard to see that being able to pay the bills and beyond that, being able to afford all of one's material desires would seem an incredibly freeing situation.

the Spirit and Value of Money in Your
Life by George Kinder |
"When we enter this world at birth, money has no meaning. As newborns, we live in a world defined by simple physical needs for food, warmth, and touch. We exist in a blessed unknowing that creates a special freshness and wonder. All of us know this Innocent state of being, replete with honesty, directness, and wisdom that draw us to small children and their uncorrupted ways. Yet at some point this primal state breaks down, not because it is wrong or the world flawed, but because life draws us down its path. As we grow, we learn--and one of the realities we must learn about is money...
"...Aloha cools the mind and calms one's whole essence. It delivers the gift of an end to suffering, an acceptance of feelings coupled with a blessing. And it can be as simple as a smile, a gesture, a look given by someone who knows beyond words that what we are going through and accepts both it and us, with unconditional positive regard."
