I really enjoyed reading this- so thank you Jane! I’ve always welcomed money, indeed any form of abundance, into my life. Having grown up in a family where money was in very short supply and going without a lot of things ( emotional as well a physical stuff) I think I came to realise early on how much more headspace is created for not only yourself but those around you when lack of money, stressing about how to pay the next bill, striving and striving to earn enough to get by, isn’t the driving factor in your life. When you have enough money to remove these issues and to finally breathe then you realise how liberating it can be and is certainly nothing to feel ashamed about or apologise for. Well done to you Jane for overcoming that hurdle and for being able to be open about it. I’ve found that for many people I know it’s a taboo subject.

Thank you Nadia. I seem to have a thing about talking/writing about taboo subjects. It was death in my previous article! I might have to draw the line at sex, and leave that up to Suzanne Noble who writes about it so well with Sex Advice for Seniors 🤣

Hi Jane, this is brilliant - particularly the love letter. I imagined a small blue digital money friend. The story was super interesting and motivated me to click one of your links. I have built my own portfolio tracker but decided to give the Etsy one a go as it looks infinitely better than my rubbish. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Neil! Glad you're using the Etsy one - I just love it, and because I do, I want to complete it, which is great because I feel like I am constantly being welcoming to money. Although there is still room for improvement re being as attentive to my spending. That's the next step.

I love your love letter from money, Jane, how poignant! My relationship with money has been rocky and still needs work but I’ve been shifting things recently with daily EFT and it’s working; I’m doing a session for my subscribers on Friday this week to help create more empowered good-hearted people.

Thanks Ros, I had forgotten I wrote it, but I remembered it just poured out one day,
