After interviewing Barbie Dallman last week one of my big take aways was Spiritual Bill Paying
Barbie encouraged me to sit with my bills and give thanks as I wrote each check. She actually writes GLADLY on the bottom of each check before she signs it.
So, last night hubby and I sat down and placed all the bills in front of us.
I talked about how grateful I was to have the money in the bank to pay the bills. Then we paid each one, giving thanks as we went.
“I’m so happy that I have heat and can turn it up when I’m cold.”
“I love taking hot showers. I’m grateful for the hot water.”
“K” (my daughter) “loves her pre-school, thank you for giving her such a great teacher who loves her.”
As we wrote out each check I also added, Thank you, or Wonderful Service, or I’m Grateful above the signature line. I admit, the earth didn’t shake and bountifuls of money didn’t appear before me. But the whole bill paying episode was pleasureable instead of stressful, and that is a good thing. Being grateful for what we already have is one of the keys to having a financially abundant life!
Continuing with gratitude, I’m also grateful to Robert, at Reason4Smile. He answered a couple of questions about my theme and how to fix something. Thanks Robert!

Hi Michelle -
For years I always said a silent prayer of thanks when I paid my bills. I am now, after hearing your interview wit Barbie, will also add thanks onto every bill.
Sometimes, I got the money together with mirrors! But it always came in.
I attribute this to my mother who always used to say, “The money will come from somewhere.”
It did fo her. I has for me. Thanks!
