Chapter 1
The abundance of the present
Our theme for our first chapter is abundance. It feels right to think of abundance at this time of year. A veritable glut of produce as well as high holiday consumption of a sort, mingling with holiday thinking time. There is nothing like hot weather to make you do nothing but think deeply. Thinking abundant is a wonderful way to live. It sits apart from having abundant, but feels more like eating the best tomato/ice cream/hot grapes from the vine of your life.
Tiny steps towards better
For the last story discussing abundance, we circle back to choices – tiny step changes towards better. Choosing to live better, buy better, buy less and encourage our minds to think progressively. There is joy in the agony of change.
Remaining Steady
There is comfort in the consistency of cycles and familiarity. In knowing that we willingly choose some parts of life to remain steady. The same brand of tea, the same colour and cut of shirt – and sometimes the same paint colour.
