We typically think of richness in terms of money.  We see our value by the amount in our bank account, our salary, or stock portfolio.  Don’t get me wrong.  I do not think there is anything wrong with money, I am grateful for it as it allows me at the very least access to more choices and opportunities. Yet there are so many plush areas of our lives that have nothing to do with money.  There is a richness to being alive.  It is plush to feel comfortable in my own skin and know who I am.  It is a plush element of my life to have people I can trust and be accepted by and feel a sense of belonging.  The number of breaths I get are plush.  It is a plush experience to live in Southern California where I can see and feel a sun so many days out of the year.  Apparently, the value of a new transmission is plusher than I realize so I get to be grateful for the plush value of a good mechanic I trust and increased value of my car when it is fixed.  Often money separates people into different groups and causes them to have different perspectives.  The plush values of my heart bring me closer to myself and others.  If I remember to focus on the plush nature of all areas of my life I am not subject to the fluctuation of numbers in my bank account or what my salary is.  My heart reminds me to see all the plush present in all areas of my life.  It is easy to overlook the plush gauge of my heart but the moment I take a breath, I am reminded of the connection within my body allowing me the opportunity to reflect on the plush nature of my life.
