Abundance Defined……
This week I have been focusing on abundance so I thought today I would look at the word Abundance.
There are many definitions and the word can be used in many ways.
The wiktionary: defines abundance as: noun
An overflowing fullness; ample sufficiency; great plenty; profusion; copious superfluity; wealth: A lack of scarcity.
And from one of my favorite references Roget’s Thesaurus the words:
SYNONYMS:” Affluence. Ampleness, bounty, copiousness, fortune, opulence, plentitude, plenty, profusion, prosperity, prosperousness, riches, wealth.”
ANTONYMS: dearth, scarcity, scarceness, paucity.
The words themselves conjure for me a variety of different images and feelings:
- images of the sea
- the waves rolling in
- white sand that stretches for miles, walking on the sand at the beach gives me a feeling of abundance
- a wad of hundred dollar notes
- a pile of gold coins
- feelings of happiness and joy
- being full of vitality
- beeing energetic
- being expansive
- a knowing that I can do anything
- knowing there are no barriers
- A total absence of scarcity.
What does abundance mean for you?
Have a deliciously abundant day

I love it, more than enough is a great meaning and how true is that when we restrict ourselves the energy stops flowing. Thanks for dropping in and sharing your wisdom,
Suzie
Hi Terri,
Interesting you use prosperity, I have a domain properity Train, which I no longer use, Abundance as you say is about the richness, the wealth of all that we have in all areas of our lives, thanks for the feedback I appreciate you
Suzie
I love your comment Guillemette, so true about feeling love in your heart making you feel abundant and I feel blessed to have met you too. You give my life abundance.:)
Hi Suzie,
Great question! I always think of abundance as “more than enough” — of whatever. The idea that there are reserves of something I want (or value) gives me such a sense of expansiveness. I measure my sense of abundance by how much joy I feel — and whether or not I am breathing deeply and aware of what's around me.
If I'm not, I notice where the “restricting” energies are coming from — and do something about them.
But then, that's just me. Not sure it works that way for everyone.

Another post right up my alley, Suzie (ooh that rhymes) – I just talked about abundance yesterday in my teleseminar – however since i'm pretty abundant myself and i really do believe in the power of the word, I just use prosperity – a word that's mistreated and abused frequently – prosperity is wealth in every area of your life – or abundance in every area of your life – neither abundance or prosperity solely mean money – we must remember that – keep spreading the word, girl! Great job.
