The art of living is enjoying the life we have and creating a life we enjoy.

The art of series…
• uses an easy-to-access format that offers instant inspiration through quotes and practical concepts for better living. The concepts, though shared in simple language, are deep life lessons—essentials we must all learn to become fully human.
• follows a progression of spiritual growth that traces a spiral pattern instead of the usual more linear approaches of most self help books. Instead of ten easy steps, the format offers an intuitive approach that makes unexpected connections and draws from diverse sources, leaving room for the soul to breathe and to explore.
• is less about steps to some future enlightenment and more about seeing the light, joy, and energy in the here and now of our lives.
• is about embodied spirituality and a sense of holy presence: being aware and in love with life, going ever deeper into the nature of our incarnated life on earth; discovering heaven hiding in earth, eternity in time.
• is encouragement to transform living into an art.

The Art of Abundance: A Simple Guide to Discovering Life’s Treasures
Key Word: Gratitude
Key Concept: Divine awareness
Cosmic Question: Is the Universe friendly?
• You are surrounded by abundance here and now.
• By counting our blessings, we discover how rich we are in the things that count.
The art of abundance is not about greed or selfishness. The art of abundance is about celebrating life right now, this minute. It is a way of looking at the potential your life holds--the little blessings to be thankful for now and the gifts that God wants to give you, if you'll just open your heart to receive. It's about being enthusiastic about life every day, not just on the rare occasions when everything seems to be going your way. The art of abundance is finding the provision in what is right in front of you, seeing the hand of God already giving you what you need, moment by moment. Then sharing the abundant blessings God has given with others. And completing the circle of giving by praising the One who gave the gifts for us to enjoy.
