So, I missed a lot of history lessons as a kid.
Maybe it was all the moving from school system to school system.
Maybe it was my preference for reading Little House on the Prairie over doing homework.
Here’s what I do know… a whole lot of my early awareness of the world had to do with music.
I was born in 1958.
I had older cousins who played guitars and sang. Much better than I did.
And they were folk rock fans.
As were my summer camp buddies.
So, when Women’s History month appears on my calendar, I start humming. (And, yes, I’ll spare you the audio!)
In fact, I woke up about 4:30 yesterday morning with The Age of Aquarius echoing in my mind.
Which was, in typical Muse fashion, followed by a bit of math on the days when women could not hold bank accounts in their own names or get a credit card without a man’s signature.
In the USA, that was mid-1960’s on the bank accounts and early 1970’s on the credit cards. Canada was about the same time frame. The United Kingdom was even later. Which I’m pretty sure means that Elizabeth II was crowned Queen about 20 years before it was legal for her to hold a checking account.
I’ll admit… progress has occurred.
And the limitations of the past still remain in the mists of our culture.
Here’s how I know…
We, you and I, were raised by adults who were raised by adults who thought men being able to sell property their wives had brought into a marriage was just the way things were. And so on and so forth, back to the days when women were property.
It’s no wonder this stuff is hard!
And it’s not that they didn’t mean well. Most of them. It’s just what they knew.
That’s less true these days. Now we know more.
And it’s time to get unstuck.
It starts with getting conscious about being stuck.
The next step is recognizing that our inclinations toward blame and shame are human but not truly helpful.
Then, it’s on to new tools because, no matter how bright and strong and committed we are, the huge majority of us could use some help.
And, yes, that means Medicine Basket your way… unsticking stuck money stuff!
We start April 5th.
Except that we’re going to go ahead and start right now, with a massively important question…
What do you want those who come after you to learn from the ways you deal with money???
And if – just maybe – you’ve got a bit more work to do before you’re where you want to be…
Get the answers you need and ENROLL NOW!
It might just be the best investment you’ll ever make!
ps… what could you do that really matters if your money stuff got unstuck?
pps… and whose life could be better if you did???
