abundance

You are so abundant eKa Circle,

Everything around you shines as a heavenly gift for just your eyes to see…here is the thing though, when you see it- acknowledge it and give thanksgiving. Then and only then will you see so much more. Abundant thinking takes practise- it is literally magical. It is in fact spiritually speaking the appreciation of life in its fullness with joy. To embrace abundance is the cultivation of respect for the creative energy of the universe.

Abundance isn’t what you have, abundance is a mindset. For nobody really owns anything. You see that truth when someone sadly passes. My late neighbours home filled with all those goods and memories took a mere two days to smash down to a flat block of land.

I try to be grateful for the abundance of the blessings that I have; for the journey that I am on and relish each day as gift.

Here is my abundant lunch today- a hustle from just a few things in the fridge and the pantry. It is the simple things that demand gratitude.

Abundance is about being rich, with or without money.

Beetroot Quinoa Salad

For me less is more re quinoa in a salad. I find it a bit heavy and bitter when too dense. It tastes great with just a light sprinkle to add fibre and protein that makes this recipe quite substantial.

3 boiled beets, sliced

1/2 avocado, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

large dollop of chilli hummus

Mustard Dressing

2 Tbsp white vinegar

1 heaped tsp mustard

slug of extra virgin olive oil

salt and pepper

Layer the vegetables in a large serving bowl and sprinkle with the quinoa. Dollop with the hummus. Whisk the dressing ingredients together and drizzle to serve.
