Quotation of the Week
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always
ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elemental
truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the
moment one definitely commites oneself, then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have
occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour
all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which
no man could have dreamed would have come his way. - W.H. Murray

Story of the Week - Butterfly Sighting at Sea World
Hello Alan, Today I felt compelled to drive to Sea World to walk and connect
with Spirit. You phoned me and we spoke for a few minutes while I was
walking. Suddenly I stopped without thinking and stared into a flower. Then you
spoke about your experiences with butterflies following you. Immediately in that
moment a huge monarch butterfly started to fly in circles around me! - Dr

We love the Abundance League because it reminds us of our power, magic, and
humanity. Our lives are meaningful, some of us would even say revolutionary,
regardless of our access to consumer products. Because we choose to live this
way and we define ourselves in relationship to each other, not to whom we vote
for or to how much crap we can buy.
We are very excited about the dynamic created by our new format and so we
want to continue to use it. We encourage you to come prepared to speak about
your:
-passions
-needs
-and gifts
