"Abundance is not something to achieve...it's something to tune into." - unknown

This quote came my way several weeks ago.  Every day I have a conscious intention to let go and let God.  The really cool thing is in letting go of "trying" to achieve - opportunities and gifts are showing up all over the place in ways I could have never imagined!  Here's a few...

Magic Beanies...
Joettta comes in the post office of our store on Mondays and we became fast friends.  She is always sending off homemade treats to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.  She oozes with goodness.  She makes beanies for the young kids at her church and last week she came in with a special delivery - beanies for me and my boys!

Intimacy...
For some time I have been saying to myself I want to experience greater levels of intimacy with my husband.  I thought about intimacy as if it was for certain times and places and was to be scheduled in and planned. Now, I am finding intimacy can't be confined to my structured thinking...and when I "allow" and let go of how it looks, it just is...it's like finding little surprises all over the place!
Moments of grace...
They seem to appear just when I need them, but the need isn't recognized until they are there.  When I let go there is no place to be except right where I am.  So, naturally, all the goodness that exists right here and now is in vivid color.  And..instead of thinking about what's next, I'm thinking about how I can squeeze the most of right now.
