What do apple orchards, berry farms, and flower fields have in common with candy stores, toy stores, and IKEA? Why do kids always choose the treat with sprinkles? Why does confetti make people smile, as it cascades through the air? Why does time spent in a park with a high density of plant and bird life lead to greater wellbeing?

The answer to all of these questions lies in the idea of abundance.

Today, I explore this topic to better understand the joyful delight of abundance. However, we also need to talk about the danger of more, as there is a line between delight and danger that we should be aware of.

Society, marketing agencies, and influencers all play into this emotional delight of abundance, but I’m going to give you a few ways of satisfying this desire for more without actually needing more.

To celebrate 20 episodes, I’m also packing 20 pieces of confetti mail for my lovely listeners! All you have to do to enter the draw for some fun confetti mail (yes, snail mail physically delivered to you) is join the Joy Hunt! Share the glimmers of joy you’ve noticed in your environment and in your every day world on Instagram and tag @carryconfetti and use the hashtag #ccpjoyhunt :)

If you don’t have Instagram, email me what joyful things you find through photo or video, and that enters you in the draw too!

The Joy Hunt will last for a few more weeks, and then the names will be drawn ;)
