Abundance shows us how

Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It’s a feeling inside that can hardly be contained. — Terry Pratchett

Seemingly ordinary, everyday moments well up a special kind of joy in your heart. Two such moments happened to me yesterday. A flash of unexpected happiness while driving my car lead me to some realizations about life. On my 100-day journey exploring abundance, yesterday, I felt an overflow of joy in my heart.

It had been some time since I had driven the car for any length of time. I decided to turn on the radio on a whim.

As I set off on my journey to drop off recycling at various sites, I allowed myself to relax into the joy of the music. There were songs I had never heard before.

I found myself turning up the volume, letting the music fill my spirit with joy.

This simple moment was one I had not experienced in such a long time.

Little did I know that bringing back the normalcy of a short drive in the car would bring a reverberation of light back into my life.

There I was, smiling my brightest smile, totally inside the moment. It felt like a prayer and a meditation all in one.

I believe this is what it is like to live in the now.

We can wrap ourselves up in the joy of living if we choose to do so.

In all honesty, I feel that life is getting better every day. It is our choice to witness it or not. We came here to focus on the light. Let us lift each other so that we can all experience it.

If we allow ourselves to be who we are, messengers of love, we can see the light through the darkness.

As I drove back home from the recycling center, I had another defining moment. I felt as if I was in a dream, carrying out a mission. It was a moment of deep knowing.

It felt as if whispers of another realm were calling to me. We are all in this together.

My job is to share these moments of joy so that they can shine in your heart too.

Everything is coming together faster. Light is shining through the cracks. There will be daily journeys and hills to climb, but our time has come to let love reign.

If you have a day of doubt, come back to read this. I am here for you.

My prayer and intention for you today is for you to feel joy. Keep looking for it. It may be playing on the radio right now. Happiness is waiting for you to tune in and feel it.
