I've been thinking for a while, I guess since you posted about your first CGW. I was thinking about attending, actually I would love to attend but my finances just won't allow it right now, or I won't spend that much just right now. I understand what you say about even a teenager can earn a few hundred bucks for a shiny new bike. My situation is I *could* save up $500 but really my heart would tell me I should use that money to pay off our little bit of debt or put my daughter in ballet. Anyway that is not really the intention of my post, really I think you could charge much more for your workshop. My real question is one about what you think of someone in my position...I am a stay at home mom by choice in fact I make a lot of sacrifices to stay at home with them, at least for the first few years of their life.

Is it impossible for me to be really "conscious" while not earning any money? That this really is what I am concentrating most of my time on? I see when you say that anyone who cannot afford your work shop or DVD’s probably would not benefit from the workshop or DVD’s. Is that true for someone in my case?

I am fully relying on my fiancé for our financial status and let me tell you, if it were me in charge we would be much better off. He is doing the best he can but I think he was raised with a lack mindset, me with the abundance (to an extent). Let me also add that I am not completely sitting idly by, I do have a great business idea in mind and have taken a few small steps to make it a reality but I am not really willing to spend too much of my time on it as I want to spend most of my kids toddler years with them.

Thank you and anyone else for any input!
