GOOD (Getting Out Of Debt)

Who doesn’t like a good story? Debt has a story and is a messenger that wants to support you in your abundance. Here's my story:

My Debt Story – When I came to CSL in 2008, I found myself $300,000 in debt. I had lost my house to the bank and I had a broken heart after ending a long-term relationship.  The irony is that I was the Director of Finance of a large organization and had been in the accounting and finance industry for over 25 years.  So, you can imagine the shame and guilt I felt; I had knowledge of how to get out of debt but didn’t know why I was in such dire financial straits.  By exploring my Debt Story, I found that I had a broken-hearted little girl who was in charge of my checkbook.  

By using my spiritual practice, I realized that as I grieved my losses my financial losses dissolved.

Ten years later I was able to retire early at age 58 and my financial planner informed me that I no longer had to work.  I now have more freedom to live the life that I want.

Lessons from My Debt Story:
• Debt is not about the money, it's about a state of consciousness.
• There is a direct relationship between my self-worth and my financial net worth.
• Debt represents an imbalance in the flow of abundance – giving and receiving.
• Debt reduction plans only treat a symptom.  It is more effective to work on both our belief systems and on a debt reduction plan.

1. Receive simple spiritual practices to pay off debt; 
2. Be given the tools to discover and unravel your Debt Story and release guilt, blame and shame;

I hope you join me on this journey!
