 Happy Spring! 

Every Spring when I see the tulip shoots from previous years coming out of the ground and into the light, I wish I planted more of them. 

I'm on day 30 something of my no-TV experience, and I am very grateful that I chose to do it. I think it's not as hard as I thought it would be, because I don't regret missing out on the lives of fictional characters.

Here's a quote from Shakti Gawain from one of my favorite books with daily wisdom.

"I am learning to manage my money wisely and well." from the section in September (it's a small book with dates). This topic is a big one in my life, and I have said (to myself) how cool it would be to have a financial therapist who specializes in helping you understand your relationship with money and what your history in with learning about it and earning it and using it.

Here's the whole page: 

Accept your responsibility for money

When it comes to money, don't function as a child wanting somebody else to be the responsible parent. If you don't hold the energy of responsibility for your own money, it doesn't matter how much you have or are able to bring into your life. Someone will take advantage of you and you'll lose it, or you'll create some kind of disaster. You have to take responsibility for your money and learn enough so that you can make intelligent decisions. Activate your inner "financial manager," and be open to learning whatever you need to know from others who understand how to manage money wisely.

I think it would be helpful to write my memories and experiences with money to better understand why I feel a certain way about it, and how those emotions affect my proverbial pocketbook.

For now, I am grateful to be able to listen to the Artemis II space crew talk about the mooooooooonnn!! From SPACE!!!! How cool is that??
