Hatching Lifetimes of Resentments

Women have been hatching lifetimes of bottled up resentments and money quandaries. At money gatherings, I hear their cries with compassion and sadness. “I hate dealing with money. I just don’t fit with it.” One even thought it sinful to want to be rich. Sinful? A single mother was so depressed about a particular money loss that she couldn’t get out of bed for a week.

Okay, so historically, men did the business, woman did the dishes. Yet if we look closely, I make no exaggeration, we women have been money specialists all along. Haven’t we handled thousands of family dollars over the years Haven’t we written checks, received salaries, cashed the checks or deposited them. Haven’t we handed lunch money to our children, cash to our spouses and aging parents. Often, aren’t we’re the ones who pay the taxes, collect unemployment, and most always, the ones to figure out how to squeeze more money from tiny piggy banks. We are far more educated about money than we express.
So dear ladies, not only do we do dishes, we do finances. Not only do we fit in this society but perhaps, we run it. Take heart.
