How Do You Measure Abundance?

I'm back, after a bit of a hiatus. Self-imposed actually. I thought I "needed" to focus on other things. Hahahaha. In reality, this blog is important to me. It's an important vehicle to share my experience. But also a way for me to connect with all of you -- and whoever comes to read it. It keeps me honest (and possibly humble). And it keeps me focused on Abundance, since I've sort of become this Steward of Abundance.

So what have I been doing? Working my consulting work again since Early April. It's been good too. Work I'm really good at AND that I love to do. I also get paid really, really well. In fact, Since early April, I've managed to increase my hourly rate $8. Now that's Abundance!! And in such a quick period of time too! It used to take 3 years to go up that much per hour. Thank you Universe.

So my query out to anyone reading today is this: How do you measure Abundance?

This is actually two questions in one:
1. how do YOU personally measure it?
2. how do you think it should/could/would be measured objectively?
