Fall is a time of bounty and harvest. Our gardens gift us profusely with apples, pears, pumpkins,
tomatoes and zucchini. Summer is waning in September. How grateful I am for cooler temperatures, the golden autumn light, as leaves start changing to yellow, gold and orange. It’s a time to really savor and appreciate all of the bountiful blessings.

Every day of the year is really a time of bounty. Just look around and you can’t miss the absolute abundance that exists in nature. Watching a PBS special on mammals recently, I became once again filled with awe at the Universe’s ability to create such magnificent diversity in the animal world. I keep learning about mammals I didn’t even know existed, adapting to their environments. For instance, there is an underground mammal named the Star Nosed Mole, whose nose looks like a colorful orange flower. Nearly blind, they
use their noses to feel and touch. So much splendor and diversity in Mother Nature, and in our lives. Wow.
 
I don’t know about you, but I am not always able to receive all the gifts of abundance that come to me. And I’m not always ready to accept all that the Universe (or Spirit) wants to present to me. A long time ago, I read something that impacted me a lot. Ernest Holnes talked about whether we are ready to accept a thimble full of our good from the ocean of plenty, or if can we accept a bucket, or a waterfall of Good instead? This made a big impression on me. I’ll take the larger vessel to receive my abundance, please.

Still, sometimes I get stuck in lack thinking. At times, I believe there is not enough, this happens most often when looking at a low amount in my checkbook. How can we let the abundance of the universe permeate our being and let go of lack thoughts? I suggest simple positive affirmations “My life is bursting with joy, love and prosperity.” Meditation helps too. Here is one by Jess Heslop on Clearing Negative Blockages & Limiting Beliefs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9j1nVRPe4Q Listening to beautiful music with powerful abundance lyrics helps me too: https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6cpbUHlpkg

Let’s all open more and more to the amazing unlimited bounty of life and harvest all the good!

How grand it is to live in a universe with such infinite bounty
I am grateful to live my life opening my arms wider and wider, to receive all the good that is constantly offered to me.

I am thankful for the teeming life on this planet and beyond.

​I feel humble when I ponder the diversity and grandeur that has been created.And I gratefully give of the plentiful gifts and love I offer.
