Simple Abundance: 365 Days to a Balanced and Joyful Life -  Sarah Ban Breathnach

Whatever we are waiting for – peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance – it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart - Sarah Ban Breathnach

Thanks to her, I discovered how our daily life can be an expression of our authentic self… We can find awe as we follow the rhythm of the seasons and the year, travel to a nearby suburb, create a sacred space in our home for meditation...

Simple Abundance is a touchstone for reclaiming true selves, finding balance, and rediscovering true happiness in life's busiest moments.  A powerful resources for feeling good after a difficult day!
It's a book to read and reread at will, picking up a chapter at random as you open the pages.  Going back, leafing through it…
Sarah Ban Breathnach states that there are 6 Principles of Simple Abundance: gratitude, order, harmony, authenticity, beauty, and joy.

Usually, when the distractions of daily life deplete our energy, the first thing we eliminate is the thing we eliminate is the thing we need the most: quiet, reflective time.  Time to dream, time to contemplate what's working and what's not, so that we can make changes for the better.

You simply will not be the same person two months from now after consciously giving thanks each day for the abundance that exists in your life.   And you will have set in motion an ancient spiritual law: the more you have and are grateful for, the more will be given you.

Turn away from the world this year and begin to listen.  Listen to the whispers of your heart.  Look within. Your silent companion has lit lanterns of love to illuminate the path to Wholeness.  At long last, the journey you were destined to take has begun.

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers.  But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.
