According to the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are more than 31 million people currently unemployed — that’s including those involuntarily working parttime and those who want a job, but have given up on trying to find one. In the face of the worst economic upheaval since the Great Depression, millions of Americans are hurting. “The Decline: The Geography of a Recession,” as created by labor writer LaToya Egwuekwe, serves as a vivid representation of just how much. Watch the deteriorating transformation of the US economy from January 2007 — approximately one year before the start of the recession — to the most recent unemployment data available today.

“How many of us go through our days parched and empty, thirsting after happiness, when we’re really standing knee-deep in the river of abundance?” – Sarah Ban Breathnach

At a recent retreat I attended, I had one of my famous ‘Wake up, Alice’ moments from David Neagle. He was speaking about creating and tuning into the abundance that is in our lives already.

Have you ever noticed how we can get so fixed on how something should look or how it is going to come to us that we don’t recognize it when it’s right there in front of us? Well DUH! That would be me. I was standing knee deep in it and could not see it. And the reason I could not see it was because I was so caught up in my story about how I was going to acquire it.

Let me give you an example of not being able to see abundance right before my very eyes. This past January, I set an intention to produce a six figure income in 2008. According to the Law of Attraction, you intend it, you have faith, and believe that it is on its way. Well, some of us just can’t leave well enough alone. We figure we have to tell God how it ought to be down to the minutest detail. Of course this isn’t true, but that’s what I was doing. Some of us control freaks take a little longer to get the IT part. I thought that all of my abundance had to come from one place – my business. And when some of it showed up in the form of real estate investment income, I did not even acknowledge it.

Guess what reared their ugly heads and made me wake up and take notice? Two long held limiting beliefs of mine from childhood showed up on my doorstep. The first belief was that abundance only comes to you if you work really, really hard. So in my mind, I hadn’t worked for the money I received through my real estate investments so it didn’t count. The second belief was that I didn’t deserve it because I hadn’t worked for it. I know it sounds ridiculous, but listen up folks, this is real. This is how we allow our old beliefs to sabotage us every day. This is how we let our stories limit our possibilities and keep us from living a fulfilled life. It was in that moment that I realized how those limiting beliefs had caused me to miss the beautiful abundance that already exists in my life.

What about you? How many times have you been standing in the river of abundance and missed it?

The thing about abundance is that it is all around us if we just stop, look, and listen to what is right there in front of us. Here are just a few of my examples of how abundance is showing up in my life daily:

• An unexpected gift from someone/somewhere that came at the perfect time

• An unexpected compliment from someone

• A beautiful sunny day that warms your face

• The sound of water coming from a fountain that soothes you

• The sound of a bird singing in the trees

• A beautiful picture that takes your breath away

• Surrounding yourself with mementos in your home that make your heart smile when you look at them

• Spending time with close friends, laughing and sharing stories

• Watching your child spontaneously exploring life

• Doing the work you love, with the clients you love

• Quiet time with your spouse or honey just hanging out

• The abundance that comes from just being grateful for the many blessings already in our life.

This week take time to breathe and drink in some of the abundance that already exists in your life. Write it down so you won’t forget about it on those days when you start to feel like singing the poor, pitiful me blues.

What do you know about it?

I was just wondering if the two can work together. The Secret says that you have to put emotion along with visulaizing to receive whatever you want, but the Sedona Method says that you should let go of all your emotions. NO stupid answers plz.
Sedona method is a book written by Hale Dwoskin, one of the secret teachers that appeared in the video “the secret”. It is basically a method to let go of all your emotions, until you are at peace with everything and stay at peace no matter what happens in your life.

We know human mating and childrearing systems are constantly adjusting to levels of technology, population density, deployment of males and females in production and local enviromental conditions. For example where there is an abundance of land and a shortage of labor polygomy prevails so that men can become properous by adding additional wives and children ( Utah last century). At the opposite extreme polyandry represents an adjustment to scarcity of agricultural resources, 2 or 3 brothers may share one wife to cut down on heirs to the land (Tibet). Monogomy tends to fit in between the two and of course we have simple promiscuity with high divorce rates in the west today. I guess cultural may play as large a role as economics in all this, but I’m not sure. I don’t think it is human nature to be exclusively promiscuous, polyandrous or polygynous. What do you think?

Last night (or a couple of nights ago) I was watching “Cash and Treasures” on the Travel Channel, and they were talking about the abundance of emeralds in North Carolina. One mine was corporate, but the other was open to the public, for a fee of course. I was wondering if anyone knew of public emerald mines in North Carolina. It would be a nice adventure for myself or me and mygirlfriend one day in the future.

Thanks for responding!
