Abundance Day 19

September 14
How wonderful the last few days have been. First, I spent three days at the Oregon coast with no wind, not a cloud in the sky and very warm temperature, high 70′s each day. I spent some great time with friends, talking, celebrating (9/9/09, b-days, retirement and September), eating good nourishing food and finding a bit of who I am now.

I came back from the beach to an evening of “work” leading a ceremony. What a wonderful group of women were there. We all made and are making change happen in our lives. Ceremony marks this and allows for more.

I am grateful for the abundance of each of these: my great group of friends, old and new, fabulous weather, time for fun, time for contemplation. Thank you grandmothers for the abundance I receive each day. Connie/gmnite

Abundance Day 14

9/9/09
Well today is an auspicious day–all those 9′s. Nines are about endings and getting ready for new beginnings. I know many people did some ceremony this morning, but I’m doing mine tonight at 9 pm at the beach. Another thing to feel abundance about is beach trips. Have a wonderful 9/9/09.

Abundance Day 13

September 8

I used to think that abundance came with being spiritual a person and if you are spiritual you automatically have abundance. But I see people who, from my vantage point, don’t seem spiritual and even seem “anti-spiritual” who have lots of monetary resources. What makes one person have an abundance of money and another not enough?

I don’t know what the difference is. I can only know for me. If I do what I’m led to do, I’m led toward abundance every time. Also, there is a difference between the wanting and craving something kind of being led and the real being led. I can’t explain it in words except to say I always know it in my heart. That second kind of being led usually doesn’t have anything to do with money, it’s just steps I need to take, directions to point myself, things to say or not say. It also has a calmness about it–it doesn’t need to be angry to come out.

What do you think?        Connie/gmnite

Abundance Day 10

September 5, 2009

Well, today I’m learning how abundance and forgiveness fit together. Forgiveness is really difficult for me. You have to let go of something and not hold on to it. Letting go, I know, is the healthiest thing, but when someone doesn’t feel they are responsible or responsible enough it’s hard to let go. But as soon as I do the letting go piece and say the words “I forgive you” I feel weight off my shoulders. And that to me is abundance. And I thank great spirit for the opportunity to learn this, again!

Abundance Day 7

September 2, 2009
What is making me feel abundant today?

Well, last night my computer hard drive went belly up, but I have Applecare for 5 more months so the repair will be free–just time away from my computer. The drive should be replaced this week–which is a shorter time than I had thought it would take. And one of my daughters had a computer to loan me while mine is being repaired!

I do feel some non-abundant feelings. Unhappy that this happened. Wishing I had done a better job of backing up, but all in all this is relatively pain free. And that feels abundant.

I have been taken care of and I’m extremely grateful for that.

And while I was out part of my house got cleaned and dusted. Thank you Justine and thank you great spirit! Connie/gmnite

What is abundance for me today?

* A trip to the beach and a wonderful friend to spend time with and stay with.

* Watching the Soloist on DVD–great movie!

* Coming back to find another friend cleaning up my driveway with her leaf blower as a surprise and a gift.

* No voice mail messages to answer.

* Plenty of food in the house.

* Working on my next email newsletter.

* Feelings of peace and that I have enough.

Abundance

Hi Everyone

Over the past few years I’ve felt I had a book in me that needed to come out. But that book has seemed to be just out of reach and the more I’d write, the farther it would get from me. I’m still at that place and feeling stuck, so what to do? Write just to write.

My topic has always been something around the topic of money/abundance/ prosperity and spirituality and how they fit together. I have interviewed some spiritual leaders about the subject and have written about my own process and it’s still not coming together.

Ok, so what now? I decided my writing would be in the form of a blog. And for now I’m writing about abundance.

What is abundance? Is it lots of money? lots of things? having all that I want? feelings of peace and calm? feeling loved? knowing how to draw in what I need when I want/need it?

According to The Oxford Pocket Dictionary abundance means “very great quantity; more than enough; wealth.” But what does abundance mean to me?

Today abundance is a feeling of peace and gratitude and a great cup of tea. I want to spend some time seeing what abundance looks like for me every few days. I know it changes, often, but it also remains the same! Until next time

wishing you abundance.  Connie/gmnite
