I started pondering this question after opening an email with an article titled,  “The Abundance of the Harvest Season”. 

Almost immediately, I had a twinge of guilt strike as I thought about all of the fruits and vegetables that my husband and I allowed to go to waste in our garden this summer for lack of being able to keep up with the harvesting.

I hate to admit it, but every year we make the mistake of overplanting the garden. We think that planting all of these wonderful vegetables will be all that we need to spend more time cooking whole foods in the kitchen.  But unfortunately, this has yet to be the case.  I love planting, watering, and watching the new life grow, but when it comes to harvesting the abundance of the garden, I start to dwindle, and at some point each year, I almost want to stop going down to the garden all together. 

Something in me hits a point of, “I just can’t take in any more," and unconsciously, I must believe that if I don’t see that the garden is there, then maybe it really isn’t -- Or even better, maybe someone or some starving animal who needs it more than me will eat it!  Gosh, even in writing this I have to laugh at myself because I obviously know that the extra tomatoes are not just magically going to disappear and be enjoyed by someone who will value them, except maybe the local rabbits and dear. 

So, I started to ponder these thoughts. I encourage you to look at your life and ponder them as well: 

1. If I can repeatedly see this pattern with my garden, then where else in my life may I be ignoring the abundance around me? 

2. Is there a way that I can open to receive even more abundance?

3. Which limiting belief do I need to transform in order to enjoy the abundance of the full harvest in all areas of my life?
