Money is just another form of power. A person who gives me power of ANY kind should do so because they want me to have it, and because they want to see what I will do with it. It doesn't have to be about sex, it may not even be about love--although love can be a very deep part of it, because the true definition of "love" is "the desire to make someone else's life better", and money is one of many ways to do that. Regardless, I am not ashamed to receive any gift that is given to me by choice. Offer me your body, your service, your worldly goods, your life, your soul--I will take them gladly, and use them for whatever purpose I see fit. Money falls under the "worldly goods" category, and it is not priority I place above all others. What matters to me is not WHAT you have to offer, but WHY you offer it--and the WHY will determine whether I accept. This is the common misconception, that so many people who lead with their wallets seem to have: that I can be "bought"...with anything. Someone who wants to use my financial wants/needs to manipulate me will have no more luck than someone who wants to use my sexual or emotional wants/needs to manipulate me, or my fears for that matter. I see no real difference, in the end, between one type of manipulation and another. Either the energy (love/money/sex/service) is freely and lovingly offered, or it is not. Strings are always visible, and dangerous to dangle from any package. It brings out the cat in me, and unlike many women--I have not been declawed. [;)] --M
