| Abundance is far more than money…it’s about unexpected gifts from the Universe |
The Tuesday night class I’m taking at the Center is called Beyond Limits. This
week we are learning about abundance. Not just abundance of money but abundance
of anything from health to friendships and so on.
Last week Dr. Heather
challenged us to take part in an experiment called The Unexpected Income
Club. For the duration of our class, about four weeks, we are to look for
unexpected income or gifts. This means your income from your job is expected so it doesn’t count. Money that does count for the experiment is gifted money for birthdays or other special occasions.

Now you might be
wondering, what’s left?! Going out for a planned lunch with a friend and your
friend pays for your lunch, is one example. Totally unexpected! Or you may find a $10 bill
crumpled up in the pocket of an old pair of jeans you don’t wear much anymore.
By now you get the picture.

As I sat in class on Tuesday I listened to many of
the students recount their week of unexpected gifts and income. One person found
$300 filed away among some papers in the file cabinet! Another woman got her
year end bonus and it was twice the amount she usually gets equaling $6000! I
didn’t want to, but I had to share that i had received a 1099 tax notification
on some money that was gifted to me last year. Dr. Heather’s reaction was, “Oh
good!” Huh? Not the answer I was looking for. Clearly I wasn’t understanding
this abundance thing very well. At this point I felt I should hand over my
membership card for The Unexpected Income Club. So instead, I decided to reset
my consciousness.

The next morning as I was walking with my girlfriend on the
beach trail, I noticed her beautiful jacket. She told me she had just purchased
it. Even though it was well made of wool and a nice camel color, she really
didn’t like it. She said she would like to give it to me. So I excitedly took it off her
hands. Once home, I put it on and looked in the mirror. It finally dawned on me
and I screamed,” This is my unexpected gift! This S…T really does work!!”

Try the Unexpected Income Club for yourself and come back and comment. I’d love to read about it.
