The Spiritual Perfection of the Financial Crisis

Of course, I have tremendous compassion for all the people who are struggling financially. It is a terrible feeling and situation to lose your job, home, retirement fund, etc.

After the emotional, historic presidential election when people chose change and looked beyond the color of skin, I had a sudden awareness of what it took to get there. I know from my clients and myself, it often takes crisis to wake up and change. Many people had to be touched in their pockets and have their security threatened for them to wake up and realize that change was very necessary for the their well-being as well as the nations.

Another example is that it took the very high gas prices for people to take public transportation, ride their bikes, carpool more, and purchase energy efficient autos. It also reawakened interest in alternative fuel sources.

I honestly believe that our financial situation as well as our quality of life is improving and will continue to. Let's take the time to be grateful for what we do have and give the most valuable gift of unconditional love and caring to others and ourselves. With trust and faith, we can move forward in ease and grace.
