How Fascinating!

How fascinating! That's my response to the wackiness of the financial markets these days. There doesn't appear to be much Peace there. And the goofiness, the uncertainty of it can easily spread like a virus, eating away at your heart and soul if you let it.

There are probably many secrets to sailing Peacefully through these rough seas. There are two first things to do here: the first is to create financial integrity for yourself. That means simply to begin living within your means and save for a rainy day. The other first is to be even more intentional about bringing Peace into your life by focusing on who you can be in the face of all of this turmoil. One way to see who you are, or who you can be, is to see who you are not. For that I have a book recommendation; There is Nothing Wrong With You by Cheri Huber, who says all of life is a choice. We can choose to feel constantly tossed and turned by forces beyond our control OR "we can live our lives seeing how everything works (which means seeing the perfection in everything and anything that happens). When we step back and look at it that way, it is obvious that an attitude of fascination is the only intelligent (I would add Peaceful) one to bring to anything."

So, go be fascinated today and be at Peace!

Love,
