“For many of us, managing our money is a task, often unpleasant or burdensome, that we eventually have to deal with. But from the wise and gentle perspective of Laurie Bonser, financial management is not something we do, but an expression of all that we want to be. Invoking the principles of financial stewardship, she offers healing and thoughtful advice on how to infuse our approach to money with our deepest-held values and hopes for ourselves and those we love. This is a guide not to be read once and shelved, but to be kept near to our sides and hearts for regular inspiration and reflection.” ~ Eleanor Blayney, CFP®, Consumer Advocate CFP Board, President, Directions for Women

“Laurie Bonser details how to transform our thinking to comprehensively focus on all our resources and to create the abundance mindset that will make each of us truly rich! In Financial Stewardship she creates a simple approach to overcome our fears and encumbrances which stop us from truly valuing ourselves and gives us the steps to transform our dreams into an abundant reality. This book is truly a gift, thank you Laurie.” ~ Diane Weklar, Weklar Business Institute

“This book is a very encouraging book to move you forward to take charge of the different aspects of your financial situation. It has a very positive, motivating tone that encourages you face your issues whatever they maybe and takes steps to be proactive in getting your financial live back on track. This book has many resources that I will be referring to in the years to come. Financial advise and explanations, books she references (that I will be following up to read) and words of advice/wisdom that can be read again and again when I need that motivation to keep on track with my financial plans.” ~ R Smith, Michigan business owner

“In a world where financial institutions appear to have stacked the deck against much of the population, Laurie has written a book on how to achieve financial success as defined by each reader’s own perspective rather than that of those who want people to fear the basic ideas of finance. Laurie presents a holistic guide to being comfortable and in control of your finances. Think of it as a meditative, organic approach to financial management and think of Laurie as a mentor, coach and provider of the encouragement that you need to tackle a topic that has become, but shouldn’t be, difficult for most people to talk about.”~ Bryan Scott Larkin, Personal and Business Transformation Consultant

“This is a little different than the typical “how to” book for good financial health. It merges information and personal well being as a basis for financial decisions in a way that I found honest and grounding. The 44 words/message deck in the center of the book are thought- provoking and I plan to go back to them again and again. A fast and accessible read that offers surprising depth for those looking to think a little more about what they want before rushing off to take action.” Liz Jasper, CA

“An enlightening read: The author provides the reader with thought-provoking questions specific to how we see ourselves through the management of our life resources. In so doing, she offers numerous insights into the areas of our lives that we may have ignored, overlooked, or just never thought about. I see this book being of value for all ages.” Anna W, NY

“I would recommend this book for anyone who is reluctant to take control of their finances – whether it’s because of fear or because someone else in their life manages this area. This book explores the ‘why’ or what drives our attitude around money and finances. The book is laid out in an easy to read format that allows you to step through various ‘messages’ with the goal of becoming Aware, Empowered and then take Action. At the end you will view your finances – and how they’re managed – the same way you would with your physical health. Not scary, just a part of living a healthy life.” K. Hickok, NY
