Vacation, Questioning Financial Abundance, Leaked Records of Tony Robbins, and More...
August 2022 Newsletter
I am wrapping up a week long vacation today. My wife and I didn’t go anywhere, so it was more of a “stay-cation.” What I really needed was a break from work and economic activity (don’t we all!). Family from Pittsburgh, PA came to us and we hunkered down in my southern New England town while enjoying the beach, camp fire, smores, fine foods, and craft beer.
In spirit of Labor Day and my last vacation day, onward to this month’s newsletter.

Part 1 of the series starts here.
The history of Labor Day and fighting for worker’s rights. This article also highlights the growth of inequality, a stock market crash, and mentions that the Senate was a club of rich men, which is something I have read before.
Real wealth
What is it? I explain real wealth here (micro.blog) and here (Instagram).
We are born into trauma and live it daily. Our society says we are fundamentally flawed. And then we are gaslighted into believing that it’s “my” fault. Because of this, we have such a deep need to be seen, recognized, and understood.
One of the greatest gifts that you could give someone is the gift of acceptance. This means not judging the person you are with, and not wanting them to change. You allow them to be who they are with no strings attached.
The gift of acceptance is an act of love. It’s a pathway for healing the story of separation that has been passed down to us for generations.
