Our financial wellness tip of the week is brought to you by Tom  Shepard of Shepard Financial: In life we know that at certain  times, natural forces cause our bodies to grow and develop in very predictable ways. We can fight this process, accept it, or leverage it to reach our God-given potential. Understanding our DNA has helped health experts identify ways that we can live fuller, more intentional lives that work with nature to ensure a more harmonious life. Wealth experts are increasingly discovering that discipline is easier when it aligns with the natural forces motivating us to make the money decisions we do. Distortions of wealth make our lives, our economy and the world a scary and unsustainable place. Our mission is to help you stop  spending health to acquire wealth only to spend your wealth on trying to reclaim a lost health. By embracing the evolution of our lives we can map a course that shines light on 7 different relationships we have with money, the 7 stages we live through and the 7 values that motivate us. To learn more, "like" us on Facebook at Shepard Financial.
