Well, as you can read in the comments section of my last post, I didn’t get out yesterday to Elf somebody, as I expected; it was just too darn cold! However, our 20 degree weather today felt almost Spring-like compared to the last several here, so I finally got to run errands and Elf somebody [...]

My Elf Cards haven’t yet arrived, but I received a fabulous nudge from GUS (that’s God/Universe/Source for those who may not know ) to Elf someone today.
This was the TUT Notes From the Universe note I got this morning:
What one little thing could you do today, Barb, within your means and your [...]

I have a totally thrilling announcement:
Within 24 hours, all Elves will have the ability to author their own posts on this blog!
Sometime tomorrow each of you should receive a username, a password, and a URL. If you click on the URL, it will take you to where you can compose your post. [...]

This week’s recipient is inspired by MamaElf, who has been Elf-giving like crazy (hooray for MamaElf!). She shared in Elf Chat that for one of her recipients, she wrote a poem. We all agreed that it was a simply fantastic idea, and that there are few things as lovely as receiving a heartfelt, [...]

I have a wonderful new development to announce: I have been SO inspired and excited by all of the wonderful Elf giving stories, that I am planning to introduce the ability for Elves to post their own giving stories, as guest Elf posters! My inspiration, as usual, is the wonderful myeverydaymagic.com. I’m hoping [...]

I just love Elf Tuesdays!
In honor of the Holiday season, I sorted all the names this week with the help of a friendly Christmas Elf (being sure to first add our newest Elf, Fisyr, of course):

I closed my eyes, fished around a bit, and picked out…

Elf “One”!  Congratulations, One!  I will PayPal your money just [...]

This will be a quick post because of the Thanksgiving holiday, but I had to write (fast!) to tell you about this week’s recipient.  I have no idea how or if this one will ever work, but wow, I REALLY hope it does!
She goes by the name “MaryC”, and her blog is so simple [...]

It’s another Elf Tuesday, and you know what that means: Another $50 of giving money to a randomly selected Elf. WOO-HOO!!!!
But first, I want to celebrate something even more wonderful: Elves officially began Elf-giving last week, and already we received our very first (and very lovely) Elf thank you. How awesome is that? [...]

Every single one of you, reading this now: There is a reason you are here. You are not here, tuned into a website called “Abundance By Magic,” just because of a coincidence, or an accident, or a fluke. You are here because the message in this post is intended for YOU
Reader, YOU are [...]

How fun is this: I’m gifting sisters today! And what an honor it is, to gift these two. Naturally, I can’t say how I came across them, but you can get a sense of one of the sisters from her website and blog, Pony Tail Acres.  Her website makes my job easy: I [...]

Today’s big news is that I’ve added a new section to the site, just for Elves!  Elf Chat is a place to talk about whatever you please.  It’s a place for inspiration, advice, support, brainstorming, ideas, sharing, and fun.  If you’ve already gifted someone, tell us how it went!  Or tell us who you’re thinking [...]

Before I announce the winner of the first weekly $50 Elf Giveaway, I’d like to say a big WELCOME!!!!! to all mothering.com readers, and also a huge “THANK YOU!” to Elisabeth for posting a thread on Mothering to spread the word.  If you are here to get some help sending a Holiday Helper package, then [...]

I was trying to decide who this week’s recipient should be, when yesterday’s “Get Rid of It” post gave me a wonderful idea…
See, I was thinking about clutter all day.  I was thinking that on top of all the rich blessings that come from releasing old things, there is another blessing just as wonderful: We [...]

Now, I realize that I am crazy-lucky when it comes to money and abundance. I really do believe that I was born under a lucky star. But I also know that there certain things I do that significantly enhance my luckiness. These “tricks” work like magic, every time. I’ve seen it [...]

First, I have to tell you, I’m still flying high from the absolutely amazing experience I had with my third recipient, who is without a doubt the single most gracious human being I have ever encountered.  (Shell: You warmed my heart to no end.  I would tell you that you made my day, but the [...]

Whew, I’ve had a hectic morning! But I think I may have managed, somehow, to add a “Leave Thanks” page to the site. I had gotten some advice yesterday that a form like this would help lend legitimacy to the site (assuming recipients use it, that is!). I’m still working out the [...]

First things first: I am SO excited to tell everyone that I received the absolute nicest, warmest, classiest, most heart-felt “thank you” ever from my first recipient, Mr. G.! (Giving Anonymously forwarded me his phoned-in message, and I was able to listen to it online.) He is truly as good a man as [...]

I am so excited.  Today I reveal (drumroll…) my second recipient!
And I am going to need an Elf (FAST!) to help get her information.
Here’s the back-story:
Way back in August, I was reading some threads on the Mothering.com discussion board. (This is a board I posted on for just a little while, many years ago. [...]

I just had a HUGE amount of fun this morning making a “Mind Movie for Money.” Have you heard of Mind Movies? The idea is, you decide what you want in your life, and then you create a slide show that helps you feel like it’s already happened. You watch it every [...]

The other day my husband and I were musing about what it will be like when we have millions upon millions of dollars. (It’s more fun to say “when” than “if” )
“We are SO going to buy that Main Street mansion,” I said, referring to the gorgeous white colonial revival in the center [...]
