Jan 1 - Sarah B.B. is introducing us to the concept of Simple Abundance. For this day she says that instead of resolutions, we should write down our most private aspirations. I didn't do this because - since June or so I have done this in some form two or three times. But this is eating at me; it keeps coming back to me, so I will take it as a prompt that I really need to do this again.
Jan 2 - Loving the question. What? This is hard for me to wrap my head around. That Sarah B.B. gives us clues to this slipped by me, until I read it again. She asks, "... if you knew that a year from today you be living the most creative, joyous, and fulfilling life you could imagine... what would it be?" Sarah B.B. admonishes us to be patient toward all that is unsolved in our heart, to love the questions themselves. hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I am thinking this is meaning to find the questions by asking - "what haven't I asked? What is it I am really looking for?" Wow - those are actually questions. It is a beginning.
Jan 3 - I love that Sarah B.B. says we already have the inner strength and wisdom and creativity inside of us to make our dreams come true. Already I am seeing why Jan 1 is important - I need to be aware in my consciousness of what my dreams really are, first; that is why she suggests the first exercise. Then to ask myself, what do I need to do; what do I need to change, what are the steps to make those dreams and aspirations come to manifestation? I underlined the first sentence in the second paragraph. ("At the Heart of Simple Abundance..."). In fact, I underlined it in a pink gel pen, a lavender, and then a pale green.
I love her sentences. Her writing reminds me of Roni's in that she uses such rich words woven together to give me a deep emotional feeling: "...six threads of abundant living ... woven together, produce a tapestry of contentment..." - I love that! I am interested to hear about your journeys, each one of you.
I love you!

I too love the way she weaves a sentence, gilding it with beauty. I want to crawl inside her world, and live there, at least for a while. I also live how she describes all we have to do in a day as the "Daily round". Somehow it makes the task of loading the dishwasher, or folding laundry seem more pleasant.
