Money, Money, Moneeeeee…music, music…

so i have really always acted snub about $, and told myself, I don’t need money…pretty much do what i want with it or with out it, and actually had a F*cK You attitude about it…I am pretty creative and just seemed to get around it…and money showed up when I totally needed it, but I knew also, that deep down it worried me on some level that I didn’t have an emergency funds, or the ability to really do some big ideas like buy a house sooooo, In the past year I have really been more open and willing to learn the mastery of money…

I saw this last year, when I looked at what money means to me…
which at the time was really an immature meaning of money…the FU story of I don’t need money, I gave this up, and having money now means being:
—generous with family, and friends,
—free to create,
—being able to provide for the hilo monster and her vet bills
—its just energy out, my creative work power and energy in, money
—providing something of value to the world and being paid for it
—abundance is very present in my life with family and friends and i want to contribute as well
—a game to master, like adventure racing

I have been looking at how to be powerful around money, and this past week or so saw, that its similiar to exercise in terms of being related to what really is going on, you gotta know how much you have and how much you spend,(like caloried used, and calories consumed) as much as my right brain doesn’t want to look, i have been really tracking and being open to seeing my patterns of spending, of not spending, holding onto,
and how i have created money…

One thing i found amazing when i shared my story with a group, was i said “there is no way to cut back more” i felt like i had done all that i could, well in the next day or two, i saw how if i parked 50 feet either east or south of the place i liked to park at work, i would save 100.00 dollars a year, by walking more. I didn’t even see outside my blinders for a year and half of parking here, Hello, adventure girl you can do that walk 50 feet!

And there is always the infamous way to save money, Less Lattes, and i have cut back, but i still want to purchase those girly jeans at the boutique, and so, i am looking at how to create a steady stream of cash, that is working for me even when i might be out mtn biking, skiing, or running…

Love and Light—xojk
