This year, during Thanksgiving prep, we realized we might not have enough meat for everyone. Past me would’ve spiraled…lists, calls, frantic errands. But instead, I heard a line that MKE keeps echoing in me:

“Keep the main thing the main thing.”

The main thing wasn’t turkey. It wasn’t perfection.

It was love.
It was family.
It was gathering around a table—fellowship over food. An evening of pure gratitude.

So we carried on. We laughed about it. We embraced the moment. And wouldn’t you know… there was more than enough. We even packed doggy bags!

Sometimes abundance shows up the moment we stop worrying about scarcity.

  • It’s interesting how our mind gravitates towards worst case scenarios. And being able to see it happening and stop it from spiraling out of control is fantastic.

  • You nailed that Candy overcoming the old blueprint – 100% agree great job catching up Lois!

  • Wow can I identify with this story – I would have lost my you know what and ruined the day for myself in the past – thank the Universe for the MKE tools! Mahalo Lois for sharing this great breakthrough

  • That’s so us women 😅 always worried there won’t be enough for everyone instead of simply enjoying the abundance. Thank you for the reminder! I’ll keep that in mind the next time we run out of bread. There’s always something hiding in the cupboards 😄

  • What a powerful lesson beautifully told. It’s incredible how the real “crisis” often isn’t the situation itself, but our old, anxious reaction to it. By shifting your focus from scarcity (not enough meat) to the true abundance (love, family, fellowship), you created space for more than enough to reveal itself. This is a master key for so much more than Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing this clarity.

  • Congratulations Lois!!! What an incredible overcoming of the old blueprint. God does cover the faith, doesn’t he? Exceptional job on catching up by the way!!! Man you really showed that you need to be in harmony <3 Incredible
