It’s one day before Christmas.  People are rushing to get their last minute shopping done.  The malls are packed with cars.  As I look at this huge number of people that are going out and spending money, I can’t help but to think of the abundance that’s all around us.

Just think of how much money is being spend out there.  And I can’t believe that some people complain that the economy is bad, or that business is slow.

I live in Michigan, where the economy is the worst in United States.  Real estate is down 30% to 40%.  The automotive companies have been laying off tens of thousands of people.  Foreclosure rate is at it’s highest.  At least, that’s what we hear.  But the parking lots of malls are packed with cars.  I went to a restaurant last Saturday night, and Read the rest of this entry »

As I was driving my 5 year old to her grandparents house earlier today, she asked me how much snow is up there.  Great question!  As I explained to her that there’s an endless supply of snow.

As I thought more about that, I asked myself, do we as adults ever wonder if we’ll ever run out of snow?  Or maybe out of rain, or sunshine, or the air that we breathe?

That’s quiet ridiculous, yet it’s the same when it comes to money and business.  The Universe is abundant in every way.  Just like there’s an unlimited supply of snow and rain and sunshine and air that we breathe, there’s also an unlimited supply of abundance.
