Having an encounter with our emotions is something powerful we can do to open our hearts. Believe it or not, allowing your emotions to flow freely lets in more abundance.

We feel we must do something right away to feel better if we experience heartbreak, sadness, anger, or other emotional pain.

The opposite is true. It is paramount to sit with our emotions as if we were holding space for our precious hearts. …

“When our heart is open
Everything we do becomes love.”

Somehow so many of us were taught that more was not a good thing. Abundance was something for someone else. It is not for us.

“The death of a dream can in fact serve as the vehicle that endows it with new form, with reinvigorated substance, a fresh flow of ideas, and splendidly revitalized color. In short, the power of a certain kind of dream is such that death need not indicate finality at all but rather signify a metaphysical and metaphorical leap forward.”

Last night, as I was watering the garden, I smiled with glee when I saw the thriving raspberry plants. The plants are lush and green. My routine is to take the hose to…

“When we make the shift to seeing ourselves as transitionary events — as verbs rather than as nouns — we can step back and allow the flow to continue. Our efforts shift from controlling the circumstances of our lives to learning how to meet each brief moment fully and wholeheartedly.”

In the early evenings, I go out to water the plants in the front and back yards. It is such a joy to care for our growing garden full of fruit and flowers.

On my 100-day journey exploring routines, habits, and creativity, this watering routine is my favorite. It connects me with the Earth every single day. I get to create a new world all around me.

A couple of nights ago, I…

“True abundance is feeling worthy enough to believe beyond what you can see. Expect miracles, and they will manifest.”- Sarah Prout.

Earlier this year, I took a deep dive for 100-days by studying abundance. I learned that every day in different ways, it shows up for all of us.

Ever since the cherry blossoms began blooming on our lovely tree outside our dining room last year, I have been writing.
