This is particularly true about money issues. When I visit forums of women living overseas, I see a lot of angry and desperate comments and topics. When I ask them, “Why not discuss it with your husbands and simply resolve the issues?” the chorus of voices rises. Those voices say, “He supports me as is,” or “He is obliged to support me, but he is a jerk (excuse my French) who does not want to understand my needs.” All this comes from misunderstanding, and the misunderstanding comes from a very low self-esteem, or from excessive demands, or from some unconscious internal beliefs. But when all this is realized, when all this is articulated and discussed, many problems can be avoided. And you are an example for me in this sense, because you did not only dream about your love come true, but chose it by saying some important things, thus having escaped big problems.

It is this point that I have marked as the time of change, on the basis of the Chinese proverb “May you live in the era of change,” which has sort of a negative connotation. I say “sort of” because we ourselves attach this negative meaning to it. In fact, the ?poque of change, including the Chinese one, is the time when everything changes. When you cannot live as you had lived before, you have already outgrown some boundaries, and the new are yet to come. I believe it is a very rewarding time. And my goal was to help people see that good side, the resourceful side of change and pass it without fear. Once I created my blog, the era of global change started with the global crisis, and the importance of my work became much more serious than I had expected. But I like it.
