It Shows Up When You Let it Go...

A few months ago, I saw a penny on the floor in my house.

At first I ignored it, thinking “Ah, it’s just a penny.”

But then it hit me:

“No. It’s not just a penny. It’s abundance.”

And so I picked it up, put it in my pocket, and thanked the universe for a simple sign of prosperity and abundance.

This kicked off a really interesting game…

A few days later, I found what I would assume was the same penny in my laundry…

And now I was tuned in.

“Yes! Abundance!”

I put it in my pocket and thanked the universe again.

This continued to happen again, and again, and again, and again.

It became a game between me and the universe.

I would find it, give thanks, and then forget about it.

And almost like a magic trick… poof! It would reappear.

And then one time, I was doing my laundry, and I EXPECTED to find it…

And guess what? I didn’t.

As a matter of fact, I didn’t find it for the next 3 weeks.

The second I started expecting it and looking for it, it disappeared… the second I started taking it for granted, it was nowhere to be seen.

I started wondering if I muddied up the energy of the game by expecting it, so I decided to forget about it.

And lo and behold, it came back.

This may sound silly, but to me it speaks to a much deeper energy dynamic at play.

Abundance comes on its own. You give thanks to it, acknowledge it, and let it go. And it keeps coming back.

But the more you expect it, the more you look for it, the more you demand it… the more it blocks the natural flow of that energy from coming into your life.

It’s by letting go that it comes back to you.
