Free Time with Jenny Blake 170: 🌈 “Imagine a World of Abundance” ✨
Feeling slow, stuck, uncertain, or in the midst of a morale dip? If so, today’s minisode is for you—or for a business bestie who might need a little pick-me-up. I share a surprising shift from an encounter with Serendipity Signage; a portal to gratitude on a random New York City train station wall under a set of shattered windows.
When you feel down, remind yourself (as I do) what Julian of Norwich, a 14th-century mystic, said: “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.”
🌟3 Key Takeaways:
- Look for the gifts that wash ashore when the financial tides recede, knowing they only show up if you resist the urge to panic and rush to fill the empty space.
- We all have dips in time, energy, money, and connection to our work that we need to ride out; give yourself space and permission to go into business maintenance mode during these times.
- As Tosha Silver says, abundance is not a “grocery list for God”—a list of material items like one you’d give to Santa Claus as a kid. When you remember, shift from feeling stuck to gratitude (for what is) and faith (in what will follow).
📝Permission: To sit in the unknown, not to solve everything right away, and to surrender to the higher purpose and picture unfolding before you.
✅Do (or Delegate) This Next: Play a game of Serendipity Signage in your neighborhood or during daily travels: Frame a question or conundrum for the universe, and see what you notice.
