Pssst … you’re in for a sneak peek treat! This article is adapted from my book, The Art of Money: A Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness. Enjoy! Christopher sifted through the pile of magazines on the coffee table, looking for something to distract him from the pounding pain in his leg. Knee surgery and respiratory challenges had kept him nearly bedridden for close to two months at this point, and he had read everything in the house (including the cereal boxes).…
Dear Community, Exhausted and reverent, we lugged those three, precious paper bags through the parking lot to our little car. Forest and I had only been dating a short while, and were living in Sebastopol, California.

Right now my team is already maxed out with current next steps and our cash flow is at it’s capacity.
