Our relationship with money has a history as long as our lives but also as expansive as the family systems and culture of which we are a part. Creating spiritual practices for how we deal money invites us to look back, to see with new eyes how and when our values and fears were initiated. Like George Bailey in “Its a Wonderful Life,” we sometimes need some help in the midst of the discouragement that can come with being in the “whale” of our fear about money. We look back with a practice of compassion for ourselves and others and a faith that reminds us of our true worth.
