⁣For a while I used to believe that the word #abundance only was only a reference to how much money I had. I used to think the only abundance that mattered was money. Over the years, I've learned and currently believe abundance comes in so many forms... forms that in the past I took for granted.

Recently, a friend of mine poured her love and creativity into a vest she designed for me (see above picture). I was so excited when I opened my mailbox and saw that the package had arrived. I see the vest as a representation of the beautiful and loving friendship between the artist and I.
•
I was filled with so much joy and love when I opened it, saw it, and put it on. I literally felt an abundance of love in that moment. As I put on my vest, I reflected on the abundance of love that I received in that moment and how abundance is constantly happening in every moment.
•
From the abundance of air, clean water, positive opportunities, laughter, conversations, hugs, relationships with others are all ways love is shown, yet they may go undetected because they may not offer that "Wow" factor. The abundance that surrounds me and that is within me is infinite yet I used to limit what it meant because I only correlated it with money.
•
Abundance flows through the tiniest crevices in and around us. Most of the time it's easy to be aware or catch the big moments of abundance, but how many little moments are we missing out on acknowledging because they don't seem or feel "big enough."
•
I've had moments when I was waiting for one spectacular thing/event to occur in my life, yet ignoring the continuous abundance occurring in the present.
•
It is a choice to acknowledge and appreciate the abundance happening right now.
•
Look around you right now...what abundance do you choose to see in and around you?
