Let It Go, Abundance Will Flow

Look at me rhyming (I’m talking about the title of this post). It worked out that way without much thinking on my end, but I think it’s going to become my new mantra.

A few weeks ago, I was stung by the winter blues. I felt an overall uncertainty about what to do next. The worrying started, but I decided that I wasn’t going to get sucked into it. So I did what I know works: I started to focus on something that excited me. I poured all of my energy into planning things out for Holy Sip Jamaica. No detail was too small. The entire process reinvigorated me and it made me happy.

At the time, I wasn’t sure if this dinner would get to 20 guests. Also, Appleton seemed interesting in sponsoring it but decided against it because it was too close to one of their large events. I didn’t let any of this get me down and I just kept plugging away at creating the best experience that I could imagine.

Then something amazing happened this week. Out of nowhere, people started buying tickets for dinner. In the past four days, five tickets sold with another eight very likely. I wasn’t sure we’d get to 20 and now we might go past 30. It’s not a crazy occurrence in the world of events, but it is when you remember that this dinner is in another country, three hours away from the closest airport. It’s not a scenario that lends itself to last-minute sales.

I know that this happened because I let go of my attachment to the outcome. I worked on the pieces that I could control and let the universe handle the big stuff. I stayed excited and committed to creating something amazing, even if only five people showed up. I enjoyed the process. Now, abundance is flowing.
