Too many of us are stressed about financial matters these days. As a stress management coach, I hear plenty of worries around having a job, losing a job, should I take a job I don’t want, etc. Underlying it all is money stress. Is there enough? Can I really have the life I want in this economy?

I can’t help thinking about that classic children’s album, Free to Be You and Me, while I read all of the stories on the movement to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. We’ve taught our kids for years that “one of these things is different and special,” but we don’t actually seem to appreciate different and special. Are we, as a society, stuck in some pre-pubescent haze that only allows us to feel good about ourselves if all the other cool kids are like us? Or maybe, we’re worried that all the cool kids are gay, like Cary Grant and Rock Hudson, and we’re left out because we’re old skool heterosexual.

Whether we love an object or despise it, we leave an energetic imprint behind that can affect how others feel about it. You know that unspecified feeling of “creepy” or “homey” that you attach to things for no apparent reason? Intuitively, we actually do know.
