I kept a blog while traveling for 8 months on my personal site - www.valeriecosta.com. Writing regularly helped me make sense of my experiences and hone my writing skills. I was surprised to find that I had a small following.
This is what I'm calling the Abundance Blog. When I reflect on why I keep doing this work -- specifically fundraising - I've realized it's because I believe that there is enough. There is abundance. It's really a question of how resources are being used and how to reallocate them.
Having grown up fairly cynical and in the Northeast (this makes sense to me - perhaps others understand?), I have not realized and embraced the concept of abundance until lately. I have a greater recognition of my own privilege and personal abundance, but I also have seen how intention and right action lead to abundance. Open your heart and your arms and there's a whole gift economy out there. Be real, be yourself, and be open to the possibilities.
