Abundance = Choices

Another Wise Woman told me this recently and I gasped and then squealed. I told her, “oh, this is going to be in my blog. This is so good!” She looked at me with wonder and glee and yet slight reservation as if to say “you didn’t know?” Of course not in a sarcastic tone but rather in a loving discerning manner.

This is so good!

 Okay, think about the word “abundance.” Do you automatically see dollar signs? Do you hear the clanks of coins? What about those slot machines going crazy muttering “oh, you almost made it. Play again, and again, and again,” sorry,I digress, but I think you're catching what I'm throwing...(smile)

What does abundance signify in your life?

Abundance for me is the clanking of precious change and lovely green currency but it also equates to time and joy and happiness; love and serenity. I want all of those things and lots of it! Then the notion struck me like lightening. (Cue gasp)

Can one possibly have all of these things at the same time?

To illustrate, someone wins the lottery, yay! But, is that it?  I mean, do you get more chances and dare I say choices?

It’s like the picturesque genie providing three wishes that will absolutely come true at your command but that’s it, no more!  But that’s NOT it.

 I learned that we can all have it all!

Okay, I know, some may think how corny Monica, really? But think about it. 

Let's say for instance, you have been dreaming about a new house. You have created several vision boards and visualized the house so much so, that you can engage every sense you have upon closing your eyes and only need one thought of your new home to surface. Then, suddenly out of the blue you get a call from your realtor who wants to show you another property in a close price range with a less than ideal neighborhood and suddenly you feel torn. Then, you think “Oh, shoot. Is Spirit testing me? Does Spirit want me to decide how badly I want my house?”

Next, you go to your friend’s baby shower and her home is decorated and adorned with such exquisite taste and immaculate architecture and then again, you feel tight in your chest and gut, clenched jaws frown upon your face and you feel... perplexed. You say to yourself yet again, “I don’t get it! If I have been asking for what I want with explicit detail down to the place settings on the dining table and a new china cabinet why, then do they keep giving me choices?

Here it comes… wait for it…

BECAUSE you asked for it! Yep! You did. Abundance= choices

Isn’t that fabulous?

 Spirit is not punitive. Spirit is not trying to make a fool out of you and put you through a series of tests so you can have battle scars to prove how badly you want something or even how worthy you are. They are simply giving you what you have requested, in the form of choices, several choices! Remember it is about FREE WILL!

~ABUNDANCE = CHOICES
