Money & Abundance Part II
In my last post, I discussed coming to terms with our drive to want more and being grateful for what we have now while we want more. Today I’m going to talk about money itself–what it is and what it represents.
If your family was anything like my family, money was a sore subject.

Abundance is a surety that everything we need and want are at our fingertips available whenever we need it. Abundance is gratitude magnified by a sense of well-being. Abundance is recognition of the comfort all around us. Read the rest of this entry »
