"Abundance" - A SoulCollage® Card by Wendy Fedan

I created a “SoulCollage® Card” which I am calling my “Abundance Card" at a workshop led by Ohio Facilitator, Martha Blachly-Cross. This card basically illustrated my desire to be blessed with material wealth. I placed it in our TV/play room where I can see it most often, trying out that ole “Law of Attraction” theory. About a week later,  I picked up my kids at daycare and happened upon a cute little scene: My daughter’s best friend, AJ, had a modest crumpled handful of carefully folded dollar bills, and he was giving them out to his friends. He gave one to my daughter, Rose, and realized he had accidentally given her two folded together. Then he turned to me. Looking up at me with innocent eyes, he said, “Mrs. Fedan, here’s one for you!”

There was no way that four-year-old boy could possibly know how he touched my heart. I thought I would cry (as I’m doing now as I type this story). AJ knew nothing of my financial concerns or my Abundance card. The truth is that one dollar IS a big deal to me,  but a dollar is also a big deal to a four-year-old (like a $20 bill would be for a grown up). I knelt down on the floor in front of him, and he placed the folded bill in my hand.

With moist eyes, I said, “Oh, AJ… I don’t think I can take this from you.” I placed it back in his hand and touched his little fingers. “But how about you take this home and put it in your own piggy bank?” I gave him a great big bear hug.

Later when I scanned the dollar AJ gave to my daughter, Rose. to use in my blog, another interesting thing happened — I’m not sure how. The color ended up extremely dark, and the white of the bill appears GOLDEN in color (remindful of the golden coins flowing down from those heavenly hands!). I tried scanning it a second time, pressing down on the scanner cover, and it didn’t make a difference. “It’s a sign,” I muttered to myself.
