Viki Robin wrote the book, Your Money or Your Life. As she gets older she says that ""besides the practicals, I'm discovering poetry, liberation, pathos, and humor"". She hopes that ""may our world come of age as well"".

Viki Robin wrote this Thanksgiving letter two years ago. It takes on a special resonance this holiday season.

""Let’s not refuse gratitude because of all that is going awry, or did in the past. We are not thankful for slavery, exploitation, domination, war, the unraveling of the fabric of life.

""To refuse the upwelling of gratitude is to isolate from the power we have to express joy in the face of devastation. The gratitude makes us strong, proves we will not submit to whatever overlords have their hands on the wheel of power.

""I’ve personally come through fury at failed leaders, feeding our lives into the maw of destruction. Now I am finding joy, gratitude, expectancy, creativity, and happiness.""
