RELEASE TO RECEIVE

Relax. Surrender. Let it go. De-clutter. It is one of life’s truths that letting go creates abundance. When you look at your things through the eyes of your heart; when you can clearly see what is just “having”, what is simply taking up space, and what you honestly use and truly love, you can make decisions from a place of abundance. You can make room for what you really want – and what you really want is most often NOT more stuff! Read more about receiving abundance, then post your thoughts.
