My Abundance Experiment Update
It’s been about two weeks since I started seriously doing this work. As you know, I’m a federal employee during the government shutdown, still required to work, but not receiving a paycheck. So, this is helping me learn the lessons in The Abundance Experiment. Here’s a list of unexpected things that have happened:
  • New Jersey gives a tax refund each year and I wasn’t sure when it would arrive. A check for $1,500 came the day after I maxed out my credit cards and spent the last dollar in my checking account. I literally never went a day without resources - the timing was absolutely perfect.
  • The next day, I got an extra check from the tax refund program for an additional $564..
  • A couple of days later, I got a call from my mortgage company asking if I would like to refinance my home at a lower rate which would save me $124 a month, and if I do it now, I wouldn’t have to make my November or December mortgage payments - saving me almost $4,000 over the next couple months coming up to the holidays.
  • I won a contest from Grant Stone Shoes (high quality shoes are my hobby) and got some free shoe cream and a cool shoe brush.
  • I started working with my Virtual Assistant, who has some amazing ideas, great focus and energy, and is really moving things forward.
  • I got a message from a cousin that she read and loved my book, In A Little While which is fantastic because she’s exactly the demographic I’m aiming for - evangelicals who love Christianity but who’ve wanted to leave but don’t because they love the faith, but see how toxic the American church has become. Who knows where THAT could lead.
  • Kelly and I had a major breakthrough in our financial relationship - we’re communicating much more openly and honestly which is a HUGE stress relief.
  • When I sat down to pay my monthly bills, I didn’t hesitate, didn’t get anxiety, and actually felt a bubble of joy with each payment. It was NUTS! I’ve never felt like that when paying a bill before. I was actually anxious to sit down and pay my bills and it was FUN!
So…I have a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg!
How about you guys? Have you noticed any shifts?
