Book Review: The Law Of Attraction Meets Financial Stewardship by Laurie Bonser

     Recently while I perused the twitter verse I came across a picture of a woman named Laurie Bonser. Laurie drew me in instantly with her bright smile and snowy hair, much like the kind that covers the canyons here in West Virginia in January. Something about her spoke wisdom and beauty and so I clicked the link with her name on it.

     As stated in the image above, Laurie is a Certified Financial Planner and Shamanic Practitioner. If applicable financial advice combined with a holistic spiritual approach is what you are after then Laurie's work is right for you.

    The Law Of Attraction Meets Financial Stewardship is the second installment on this topic for Laurie, her first being the above mentioned, Financial Stewardship: a guide for personal financial health and wellness. I will be going backwards somewhat. I have read the newest book and loved it so much that I will be acquiring the original within the next few weeks for further study.

   The book (The Law Of Attraction Meets Financial Stewardship) just happened to be what I was looking for that day in April when I found it on twitter. I had been struggling with the idea that "manifesting" and "stewardship" didn't seem to go hand in hand. Laurie's book redefines that. She shows you how to bridge the gap between the two. That you can be prosperous and abundant and seek out your financial increase with ease and confidence. What will put a halt to that confidence is a bad strategic financial plan. Not knowing what you really want (most of us were taught to focus more on what we don't want to happen), bouncing back and forth between thrifty money habits and terrible overspending, this is how most of us spend our time in finances. In truth most of us were never taught what it means to save your money for SUNNY DAYS. 

   Taking a different path with this book, Laurie points out how unhealthy it is to be afraid when it comes to finances. (Saving for RAINY DAYS, is saving out of fear.) So of course we would have terrible attachments to money, why would anyone WANT to save for a RAINY DAY? So I am saving my money for something bad to happen?! (Keep in mind the rainy day/sunny day metaphor is mine alone, Laurie puts it in more thorough terms.) Instead Laurie encourages us to see saving as a means to acquire all the things, experiences, and financial growth we can dream of. Saving should be about working toward an amazing fulfilling goal, not hoarding incase it all goes wrong! This kind of thinking causes subconscious resistance and self-sabotage.

   On a "writing" level, if I were to critique the book, I'd say it gets a little wordy in some spots and that the ball doesn't really start rolling till 40-50 pages into the book. This is not to say that the first 40-50 are useless, because that's not true. I found nuggets of wisdom hiding inside of Laurie's enthusiasm. I would however love to see a refined version of this book, made simpler for us dyslexic, slow reading, basic bitches out there ;) (That was a joke, don't send me hate mail. And yes I am dyslexic.)

   But if we are talking overall message, this book outshines a lot of it's contemporaries. It tackles questions and thought processes that most "Law Of Attraction" teachers steer clear of. Laurie stays true to what the law of attraction truly means without overshadowing the need to be financially present and aware.

    I give Laurie's insightful book a 5 out of 5 stars! It's worth the read. She offers a wealthy helping of powerful information and tips that are sure to assist you in the next stages of your financial journey. I think the biggest thing for me when talking about this book is how relative it is to ALL people. I am a huge hippie, often times my financial situation feels icky to me, because deep down there is a part of me that just wants to dance naked around a fire and howl at the moon sometimes. LOL But Laurie shows us that finances are not "UN-spiritual", because everything under the sun is full of spiritual consequences and triumphs. When our finances cause us stress, our "spiritual walks" whatever that may be for you, suffer.

   Go out and get Laurie's book, The Law Of Attraction Meets Financial Stewardship. If you are ready to make a real change in your finances and ready to start manifesting your goals and dreams with a healthy spending/saving approach, you won't be disappointed with Laurie's work.

Huge thank you to Laurie for sending me a FREE copy of her book so I could learn and be touched by it's healing messages and give her an honest review. :) Namaste 

Till we meet again #riverreaders,
