Food For Thought: I Am Abundant

Sometimes it feels as though there is never enough money to get by on. That is a common concern for so many in the past 5-6 years (or more), myself included. Living within the means of the austerity plan can be quite tricky and downright depressing if you let it get to you and find yourself wallowing in worry and self-pity. When I find myself dipping into the well of worry over money, I know that I must re-mind myself that “I am abundant.”

Years ago I learned a simple mantra that has proven itself to be invaluable in the past couple of decades as I have struggled with entrepreneurship and single parenting. Everyone can use some re-minding from time to time. Affirmations work to re-mind us when we repeat them to ourselves over and over again. If you’re worried about financial concerns (or love), try this affirmation for a few days and see if things shift for you:

I am abundant ~ I have love…

I am abundant ~ I have money…

Food For Thought: Truth

“Truth comes into being only when the things of the mind and of the hand are put aside, and that putting aside of the things of the mind and of the hand is not a matter of time. Truth comes to him who is free of time, who is not using time as a means of self-extension.” ~ J. Krisnamurti

Food For Thought: Staying Focused

Like the hawk, it is important to stay focused and keep a keen eye on all around you. Staying focused requires a deep concentration and attention to the now. One must be in the moment, in the now, in order to stay focused. Release the past, don’t worry about the future. Just be here, in the moment, cognicent and open. ~ Pamela Leavey

Poem: In The Stillness

Solo Swan on the River ~ c. Pamela J. Leavey 2013
Solo Swan on the River ~ c. Pamela J. Leavey 2013

In the stillness
I hear the beating
of the mother’s heart,
in the stillness
I know the pain
of her longing.
I watch, I wait
for her children
to appear,
I know her longing
for it is my own.
I cry out to the Mother
where, oh where could I go,
for I have wandered lonely
in the light of the sun.
She tells me in whisper
Daughter I do not know,
your path is written in the stars
though on the river you do flow.
Sit peacefully in the still
the answers you will know.
