Peg Knows

SUVShe’s always right. She’s my mom and she was telling me on Mother’s Day how she gets herself to the gym almost every day.

Now this woman is 85, and wears a back brace due to her crippling scoliosis. She has had back surgery and a number of operations for gall bladder, hip surgery, and other reasons that I don’t even remember. She aches when she walks and has a hard time getting around.

So when I asked her how she can possibly get motivated to get out of the house to get over to the community gym, she said,

“Oh, that’s easy. I call Mabel.”

“But I thought Mabel was in worse shape than you
are?” I asked.

“Oh yes, she hurts all the time. But we both need to get
to that pool over there and move around because we
know that we will feel so much better if we go.”

“Would you get there without her?” I asked.

“Oh, I don’t think so,” she replied. “I need her to help me get me out of the house. That’s how we do it.”

Sometimes Moms know best. If she can get to the gym when she is decades older, then why can’t I?

SUV What? You don’t want the Hybrid? Well, then what ARE you going to sacrifice in your life for Earth Day?

OK, if you’re still attached to that gas guzzler, then how about driving less, taking transit more, keeping it tuned up, joining a car pool?

But, wait a minute. What does Massive Abundance have to do with Earth Day? Why Massive Abundance is totally about Earth Day. It is about living your life consciously, with gratitude, appreciation, and joy in all areas of your life. It is about living your life to the fullest — by using your gifts, your talents, and your skills to become the person that you were created to be.

It is not about celebrating one day in a year. It is about being environmentally conscious every single day of your life! It is about noticing everything around you and having a deeper reverence for our planet. It is about deciding how you can help to save our earth.
Most people think that Massive Abundance is about making money and learning how to get rich. But it is so much more than that. MA is about celebrating the beauty of life in every thought, word, and deed. It is about experiencing love not hate. It is about giving rather than taking. It is about sharing, not hoarding. It is about raising your consciousness in every area of your life – including your environmental life!

And remember to go organic. Plant a garden, buy locally grown food, or plant a tree. Don’t waste anything – your food, your purchases. Recycle when you can. Don’t throw things out. Sell, trade, or give things away.
Continually raise your consciousness in all areas of your life. Let every breath, every thought, and every feeling, take you to a higher level in your life. Choose abundance – massive abundance – and not only will you save the planet, you will claim your life!
