You Can Be Richer

April 2, 2026

Money is Tight all Over.
Yet, don’t let this ruin your life!

Is it possible to BE RICH?
Really, really RICH?

Who sets the bar? Who makes this judgement?

Rich, my perception: Anyone that has ‘more than you’ could be perceived as ‘rich’.

It’s is each individual that makes the judgement.

Think about it.

Money is used for an exchange of wares. Our ‘currency’ in the past centuries, has been ‘fair trade’; perceived by the ones involved.

Yet, ‘fair trade’ has caused so many fights, disagreements and wars when manipulating ‘fair trade’.
Money is the cause of many issues in this modern world.

Observations and realities in the past few years: Many people are down and out, disappointed with life and they are operating at a lower vibrational level.
We’ve talked a bit about this in Feng Shui over the last few years; negative vibes attract MORE negative vibes.
For example:

• A quick glace across the street reveals a new car in the neighbor’s driveway. Automatically the thoughts creep in:
  – How can they afford a new car?
  – What are they doing to make money in life?
• Why can’t I ever be that lucky?

Unconsciously, we set the bar according to what we ‘perceive’ is normal and acceptable.

Our thoughts and judgments can and will bring us down!
I almost fell into this thought pattern many years ago.
I was a single mom, struggling, and I was so conscious to watch every penny.
On the weekends, I’d ‘shake up my magic purse’ and look for loose change that dropped to the bottom.
Somedays I’d find $2. Other times, less.
Either way, my son and I would walk to the plaza for a treat. ‘Treat’ meant anything we could afford. Even thou I felt somewhat discouraged many times, I tried to be positive.

Sometimes we’d share a donut and a drink. Sometimes, we could only buy one donut; and that was the way it was.

For me, it was all about budgeting, making choices and thinking positive. I knew this phase of life was temporary and I had to believe that the universe had a plan.
I didn’t make excuses and didn’t moan and groan about it. I did compare notes and wondered about what is fair in life.
We weren’t ‘rich’ and yet, we weren’t complaining or bitter.
Yet, it is what it is.
My son and I would have the day together, so let’s explore what the day brings. There was much to do.

One weekend, I had $20. to spend on a ‘treat’.
What could we do with the money?
It felt like We WERE RICH!

The dilemma was what to do with this windfall!

We pondered; a great exercise for a young boy of 8 years old.

What if we decided to go to a movie theatre and buy popcorn? Or, should we rent a movie and have popcorn at home?
We could go to McDonald’s for lunch.
We could drive to a park for a walk and have ice cream.
What should we do?

After talking about all the ‘what if’s’, we decided to go for a drive, visit Toys R Us for a look-see (and not buy anything).
Then, we ended up at a Historic Park and had ice-cream!
And then, we still had enough money left to rent a movie that night, and eat popcorn!

That day, we lived like we were rich!
It felt that we were in control of the day and could DO anything we wanted!

With $20.

Yes, money can be tight, but we don’t need to stay down. It’s all in the mindset; positive, uncomplaining energy can multiply!

It’s your choice to choose. Money Energy can be easily cultivated in your own home!

Money, success, abundance, joy, love are ALL ON THE SAME HIGH VIBRATION!

Let’s get this money energy circulating throughout your home!
Here are a few suggestions to raise chi-energy:

• Healthy plants thrive with clean air, fresh water and sunshine! Check the needs of each plant.
• Cut flowers on the table bring joy. They don’t have to be expensive. A couple of daffodils in a glass will bring a smile.
• Make the bed. Show that you respect you, your partner and home – all is good!
• Clean the dishes and put them away. Shiny counters can attract new opportunities coming your way.
• Take care of your clothes. Make an effort to show your best; be sure they fit and have regular cleanings.
• Smile in the mirror; great for self-esteem.
• Sweep the sidewalk out front and right up to the doorway. A welcome mat gives the universe a chance to arrive-with-gifts right to your front door.

What goes around, truly, comes back around.
If you don’t have disposable money, you do have eyes and two hands to help out. You can pull yourself up.
It starts in your neighborhood. When you show kindness to others, when you stop to see people as they are, imperfect.

• Walk a dog for someone who is sick.
• Deliver some baked muffins, just because.
• Offering to pay kids to help with small chores will give them confidence to move through life.

Money is the nucleus of all deeds and exchanges, yet it doesn’t need to BE withheld, cutthroat, nasty and evil.
The feeling of warmth, goodness and kindness is a catalyst for fulfillment in life.
Fulfillment aids in feeling GOOD, WORTHY, BLESSED and very RICH indeed! You are richer than you think.

Feeling rich will move you to believing and living life to the fullest.

LOOK for positives every day and BE the leader in your home!

Warmth, Kathryn
