Abundance

Abundance to me is in the mind, and it is not about having, it is about giving.

I believe that a spirit of abundance is something truly wonderful. It is what makes a person unforgettable, wise, and fun. No one likes a miser, and emotional misers (aka passive-aggressive) folks to me, are simply the worst. Misers control by withholding.

At the end of one’s life, I believe the list we are going to make is the one that lists our accomplishments, and especially the actions that helped others. No one is going to make a list of what they saved or withheld.

This year as we celebrate Thanksgiving, can we truly say that we will celebrate with a spirit of abundance? It is not about the big meal and have toos. Can we approach this special day with reverence, grace, and the realization of our fortune? I believe then, we will have an abundant day.
