He was actually hungry. Sometimes he forces me to get up and there is still food in his dish but this morning it was empty and now he&#8217;s gobbling and crunching his kibbles as though he hasn&#8217;t eaten for a week.<\/p>\n<p>I was dreaming of a grandmother and her two granddaughters. One of them was sick and I was asking if she&#8217;d been to the doctor to make sure it wasn&#8217;t swine flu.<\/p>\n<p>She gave me a book with a page in it that had been written just for me. It said:<\/p>\n<p>ABUNDANCE<\/p>\n<p>I told her I&#8217;d been working on that one for a while. And I have, in waking life.<\/p>\n<p>What I have found is that when I create inner abundance, that is, truly believing that I am everything I need to be by getting rid of the belief systems that tell me that I&#8217;m not,  the abundance in my outer world expands.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital that I dig out the belief system that tells me I&#8217;m unworthy, or that I don&#8217;t deserve to feel free or prosperous or loved. I must do this in order to believe that I am enough, that I do enough, and that I have enough.<\/p>\n<p>Digging out this old way of thinking is challenging and we can&#8217;t do it alone. But when we rise to the challenge and seek the help we need to change, we can then experience true abundance, which is a feeling of having and being enough.<\/p>\n<p>Affirmations are great but if I&#8217;m still operating from a belief system that tells me I&#8217;m a piece of crap then the affirmation is not going to go very far. I have to change the belief system by removing the old way of thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Inspiring Message of the Day: When I seek help and change my inner world, my outer world transforms. I deserve to feel abundant. I am everything I need to be, today, now and always.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cat has been trying to wake me up for the last two hours but I wouldn&#8217;t budge.
