Dear Karen,

In your own words what would you do with a million dollars? I am in awe of you and wonder because you always care about people. I am a reader and know you are hurting because of your kindness. I also know you have what it takes to succeed. The vision I see for you is far greater than your least expectations. I am on YOUR side. YOU have written a great story BUT have not finished your journey. WRITE YOUR version of YOUR story. YOUR fortune awaits YOU.

Dear K Sunshine,

Interesting question! I’ve fantasized about winning the Lotto like most people have, but maybe not for the same reasons. I would rather earn my way toward having a million dollars. I would then feel I worked hard for my money. I believe with my caring nature, I would continue to help others, whether I have a million dollars or just a few.

Money has not been good for me. I’ve always tried my best, but I’ve never understood the term “save for a rainy day.” I am generous to a fault, which for me has spelled danger. My giving nature has been both one of my best features and worst nightmares. But I’ve come to understand more about myself as time has passed. My thoughts have improved regarding money. I once felt undeserving and would give all my money away before thinking of my necessities and needs.

In the past I have given too much away leaving myself in trouble. Money is one issue I have yet to overcome. I’d love the chance to relax a bit. If I earned a million dollars, I would now try to take care of my needs first, and then invest in helping others, in their best interest. I have known great pain and joy when it comes to receiving. I am forever grateful for all the times I was in need during my illness and a generous friend helped me out. I am a giver at heart and need to be cautious.

During my childhood I was abused over money issues. I don’t feel comfortable having money. I have never been on a true vacation. A cruise would be nice. But honestly, I rarely fantasize about having money. I fantasize about making it through each day, one day at a time.

Thank you for your compliments and for encouraging me to write more.

Karen
