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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>K Sunshine,\u00a0Arizona<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear K Sunshine,<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Interesting question! I&#8217;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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Money has not been good for me. I&#8217;ve always tried my best, but I&#8217;ve never understood the term &#8220;save for a rainy day.&#8221; 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&#8217;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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>In the past I have given too much away leaving myself in trouble. Money is one issue I have yet to overcome. I&#8217;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. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>During my childhood I was abused over money issues. I don&#8217;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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for your compliments and for encouraging me to write more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Karen<\/span><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by K Sunshine on 10 May 2010 at 9:56 am Dear Karen, In your own words what would you do with a million dollars?
