Well, I’m not going to question who I’m led to give to and when… I just get that nudge and do it before I think about it too hard! (does anyone feel this way??)
I’d almost forgot but a few weeks ago I felt the need to leave one of my little pocket charm bags w/ [...]

Here’s my list of ten things you can do to magically increase your wealth and abundance. They are easy, fun, and free, and take less than a minute each!
1. Go outside, look up at the sky and imagine gold coins falling from the sky and landing all over your yard, your house, your stoop, [...]

After much Elf requesting I have at long last added an “Elf FAQ” including, FINALLY, instructions for how to post to the site. Miracles do happen!
I’ve been thinking about adding something else to the site too, but I wanted to get some Elf feedback before going ahead with it…
Basically, I’ve been [...]

When I received the elf give-away money I only knew that I wanted to divide into equal portions and hand it out to random people.  I had no idea who.  Then I had a bright idea!
Every day on my way to work in the morning, there is a guy.  He sells newspapers.  Now what is [...]

Did anyone happen to catch the article in the New York Times yesterday titled Seeing How Far $100 Can Go? It was about a writer who received a six-figure advance for a book, and decided to do something decidedly fun with a chunk of it: She gave $100 to each of nine friends, with [...]

I just adore nice people. I love knowing about them, I love hearing about them, I love reading about them, and I just love, love, LOVE gifting them.
Today’s recipient is Sabrina Gilchrist. She is a dancer. She’s energetic and fun. She’s open and bubbly and filled with optimism. She’s also [...]

If I gave you $100 or $500 or $10,000 dollars, just because I thought you were lovely, how would you feel? Would you accept the gift, feeling expansive, honored, and gracious? Or would you shrink from the gift, feeling uncomfortable or even ashamed? Would you ask me to please pass it on [...]

I have taken this phrase to a whole new level! I used to feel a negative vibe when I heard these words, like there is loss involved. But now I hear it and think about abundance, sharing, and giving.
Today when I was in a coffee shop I was journaling and sipping on an iced mocha. [...]

I’m finding myself strangely apprehensive, beginning this post. I had intended to tackle it first thing this morning, but instead, I’ve been finding every excuse to put it off. First I took a long walk (even though the streets are covered in black ice, and I slid more than I strode). Then [...]

I’m back, I’m back! I hope you all had wonderful holidays? I did, but I’m glad to be home again, and feeling so ready — almost itchy, really — to get back into the swing of giving. I was seeing people I wanted to gift while I was away, but I was [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
