It’s time to pour yourself a warm mug of comfort and clarity. This next sip of Money Mocha is steeped in sacred storytelling, creative bookkeeping, and a practice that might just change how you feel when you sit down with your numbers.
What if bookkeeping didn’t have to be boring?

What if the categories in your financial tracking could speak your language — the language of meaning, memory, and values?

Years ago, I had a dream that stitched together the threads of the sacred and the practical — a dream that arrived just weeks after my first money mentor, Tamara, passed.

In it, she gifted me a red velvet-bound ledger that cataloged her life not just in numbers, but in meaning. Each entry in her Book of Life was paired with a value — not just a dollar amount, but a reflection of her essence, her creativity, her care.

That dream became a doorway.

It invited me to ask: What if we could make bookkeeping an honoring practice? What if the way we track our income and spending could reflect what we cherish most?

Today’s Money Mocha introduces you to Values-Based Bookkeeping — a soulful and deceptively simple technique that invites you to rename your financial categories. Yes, rename them. “Rent” can become “Sanctuary.” “Debt” can transform into “My Big Italian Adventure.” Line items shift into love notes. Spreadsheets become mirrors.
