It Is Only Money

It was noon on a Sunday, and I was volunteering at our local homeless shelter with friends. We were preparing and serving lunch. My job was to serve in the chapel—the room was reserved for those who needed extra help. It had been a busy day, and just as we were about to close down, two young people walked in. I went over to ask if they would like some water to drink, and there sat two of my college students. Our eyes locked, and they quickly looked away. I brought them both glasses of water and asked if I could join them.
We spoke and laughed about life. They complained about the home-work and the readings. We shared a cup of tea, and then they left, say-ing, “See you tomorrow, Miss.”
That evening, I sat down and began to write this book and workbook. I was so inspired that two of my students were working so hard to get ahead and get an education while living on the streets. I wondered how they submitted their assignments, where they studied, and how they managed to always be so cheerful in class. I wanted to teach then so much more…
…and that is how It Is Only Money, and It Grows on Trees! began.
This book is for anyone who is sacrificing to build a better future. When we learn to break free of our patterns and choose to recognize that money is just a resource, we too can become rich and truly enjoy today.
