I want to share a story. To me it’s a powerful story because it’s a story of mastery. Mastery and magic. I am going to tell it fast, using short words and sentences because I have no time for more. The babies are asleep and my three year old is eating an apple - of such moments is a mother’s day made.

My twins were born only a few weeks ago, and it is how they arrived which prompted me to write. I want to touch you with a tale about how it is possible to determine your experience. It takes energy and commitment, and you must work at all levels, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

I was a young woman in my early 20s when I first attended a personal development seminar about financial success, and I was perplexed by the conversations I heard about ‘worth’. Income was being linked to self-esteem, but how, I wondered, does one put a dollar value on a person’s worth? Surely a person’s worth is beyond money.
