....more than I could have ever imagined, it is one of the most exciting experiences I have had pleasure in being part of recently. And you may be asking what is exciting about abundance?, well when I say abundance many of you may be thinking "money" but this is not what I am referring to, however money kind of comes into the story but not in having it or spending it but actually in how much I have saved.So here is the thing, how many of you can say that you have been out and got some fresh air and excercise in beautiful natural surroundings, where there is only the sound of birds along the pathway, where the trees have a certain "presence" and where silence encaptures you from time to time, the air is filled with freshness and depth of rich earth from the undergrowth that runs alongside you and from the river which bubbles it's way on its long journey back to the ocean, and also being blessed with abundance along the way, how many of you can say yes to that? and if you do say yes then you will have a much deeper understanding of the story I am telling you here.
What is important to mention is that when I placed my order with the Universe I was very specific in what I was looking for and then asked for that or something better, and I believe that the last part has done the most work for me.
I was guided to drive the car when I was out and about on Thursday into roads which I personally would not choose to drive down, taking a left here and a right there and had no idea where I was in resepct to where I had been but as I drove slowly through the winding road surround by houses on the one side and fields and trees on the other I turned the corner and there in front of me was the most wonderful amazing sight, the biggest Mountain Ash Trees I have ever seen, the ones which I remember from my childhood days were just average size growing in the pavements of the streets where I used to walk to school. The universe had done the "and or something better" beyond my wildest dreams, I was not dressed in the right attire with high heel shoes and long skirt but the meadow in front of me was calling out so loud and the 50ft or so Rowan trees adorned from just a few feet off the ground with bright red rowan berries hundreds and thousands of them and there must have been about 5 trees. I threw everything out of the plastic box which I organise my tools and things in from the boot of my car and stepped through the long wet grass and within 15 minutes I had a box full of berries. Now that is what I call abundance. Sorry I have no photo yet of this.
Then a similar thing happened today, when once again I went out wild-crafting and once again I was astounded at what I found as I walked across a different patch of land to last week and there not one apple tree but 5 all in a long row growing alongside the grass pathway I was totally overwhelmed. Later on my walk I was blessed with so many sloe (blackthorn) bushes I was laughing out loud having read some of the comments on different jam and jelly making blogs and websites which state how scarce the sloes are this year, Mmmm, I thought to myself how blessed am I.

To the left is a close up (sorry for the blurr) of the amount of sloes I was blessed with in one spot. To the right is just one of about 50 bushes within one space all full and bursting with sloe-goodness.
And look at the beautiful patch of nettles below - how blessed with abundance is that, and there were huge patches everywhere.
And to the right one of the many apple trees which were adorned with luscious apples there must have been at least 3 different varieties but not sure which is which to be honest as my knowledge of wild apples is not great, but what did come to mind as I filled the ruck sack with the gold which I had found was chutney, jelly, jam and crumble. Wow I had such an amazing find, and I definitely believe that the "and or something better" was a key in the whole process, as I had been near this part of the walk last week and never saw all this, but found it all today.
So all you limited thinking people out there order your abundance today, and remember to give back not only to mother earth for her generous larder but also to the plants which have blessed you with food, I shall return this to her in the form of wild bird seed. And I would like to say thank you to the Universe and the local Council for their blessings and part in all this.
And remember to use every part of that which you have been blessed with - nothing needs to be thrown away, and the very tiny amounts can be returned to mother earth to be recycled.
So I can honestly say that the Universe is teaching me the truth essence of ABUNDANCE.... and the more I have faith and stay open and curious to it the more is being blessed to me.
