I was originally going to title this “Out of Service,” which described how I’d been feeling of late, but changed my mind once I, well, changed my mind.

It’s been a tough few months. Grave family illnesses, some economic uncertainties, too much to do, too little time. With more stress on my head than I’d felt in a long time, I started to lose perspective, and frankly, ended up being more than a little self-indulgent as a result.

Self-absorbed isn’t an attractive place for me. It totally gets in the way of what and who I love, and keeps me from coming from a place of service. The more it went on, the more tired of my whiny self I got.

So I sat. Literally. Sat, breathed, and reconnected with what matters most to me, which is to use my God-given (whatever God is about) gifts and talents to further my personal development and impact on others. And as I sat and breathed and watched my thoughts, I came face-to-face with just how attached I had become to the outcome of so many things: my family’s health, my financial position, the state of my companies.

And then I let go. I didn’t stop caring about these things, I just let go of my intense attachment to how it all turned out. And once I let go, I was back in service.

In the spirit of service to you, I will be sharing my “tales from the road” with the Let’sTalk MONEY game, focused on the tips that will accelerate your financial progress.

As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions, and will work diligently to remain yours,

In service,
Jenifer
