One Kind Voice

Searching for the sweetest rose by MaggieHongKong

I was asked once what does abundance mean to me?How would I benefit and make use of it?

There are a lot of answers that fill now my heart when thinking of abundance and this is a question that pops up frequently in my mind. I was linking its meaning like many of us do with concrete goals and targets, which I also happen to sort of not achieve I would say. I own few things only and I tend to declutter frequently even the ones I own today. I do remember even refusing to be a role model to some young friends looking up to me, reducing the meaning of abundance to a very limited structure (a house, a car). Thank god that limited thinking is well in the past and decades of changes and lessons in impermanence led me to solidify the meaning of abundance from a very fluid yet deep perspective.

The answer I gave my friend many more than a decade ago was simple: “I would like to have the means to travel to any corner of the world to support my family and friends whenever they need me. I would love to have the possibility to take days off and help people in real time, for those living the same city as I do.”

This dream is still valid today and since I do believe in the power of being present even there is no call per se , even if there was no crying asking for me to be somewhere, it does fill up my heart the most to jump on a plane and travel to be with my people. It does not boast my heart and make me feel as “somebody”. It does bring a calming feeling and some special oxytocin release to know that a member of my family or my friends are not alone in some critical moment. It is a beauty in itself to be together with your loved ones and sharing moments of joy too yet I get to feel the deepest connection when I can somehow bring in some calmness, a smile, support, cleaning, washing the dishes, walking in the park, taking the bus and going to a cemetery to bring flowers. A list of innocent examples just recently backed up in my memory lane.

The meaning of abundance still relates today even more so to having the means above any status, job limitations, annual leave days, lack of approvals, bad timing. These being many a times the stumbling blocks.

I remember someone on a podcast calling a smartphone a “luxury”. And I consider this to be true. It is equally a luxury to be present and near my people especially when they need most. This is the abundance dream I have. This is where I wish to grow the most. And to my surprise, and unfortunately due what the pandemic taught us, we can also access different routes to reach out, to be present, to create, to alchemise our abundance beyond travel. I dream to build a sanctuary of abundance, determined by my own terms and conditions ,that moves us, that moves hearts with tenderness, with joy, deep listening and understanding. The new layer of meaning that I am adding now to what abundance signifies, is also related to my ability to speak my truth in harmony and with kindness. There is a tremendous resource of abundance to be able to speak out the words that are important to you, while doing it with full respect and tenderness. This resource is so precious. We feel its value flying away the moment we are triggered, we are taken by an impulse to rezist and do the opposite of what is really authentic to us. A strong emotion is also temporary, yet it can also leave a wound that might take years to heal. That might take a generation to heal. That might never heal in our lifetime.

And the most we can do in that particular moment when we lost what we have dearest to our hearts in terms of expression, in terms of kindness, is to take a some good old rest, find nature and release some of the tension perhaps, sit with all there was and bring all that help that you dream to offer to others, bring that help, that soothing presence right here just with you. I do have moments when I seek myself in a mirror or a window somewhere and I whisper gently “be kind to yourself, gentle does it ”. I might then go out a find a rose to speak to myself. To feel its velvety touch.

“Smell the rose… it is divine” , by MaggieHongKong

My dream of abundance keeps overflowing and the best way to reach out to anyone who seeks a kinder world, who seeks to speak and be held in kindness is also through building and working on new projects. Creativity is one of my best friends and this dreams now involves also doing, delivering something, walking alongside my dreams one by one and finding motivations in my own milestones.

Some of you might have received a newsletter on 10th of May inviting you to celebrate this day with me.This is an extract.

Come celebrate 10th of May 2025

It is my pleasure to share with you that I am back to Hong Kong and now, with a new soul project. This has been silently under preparations over the past couple of months and I simply could not wait any longer.

The project it is a work of collaborations, a work stemming from years of studying and preparation and most definitely a path found after decades of contemplation and observing this world as it is.

Most of you might know that I love silence, I love to take my time and I love to meditate (yes, I still love cooking too and considering this an act of meditation as well). Adding to that a passion for reading and discovering new worlds I took up studying reiki, energy work and followed going deeper and embracing the power of awareness and mindfulness.

Meditation became not only a daily practice, but it has become a life style that I would very much like to share and part with you too.

I am thrilled to share without further ado my new venture in the realm of mindfulness meditation and reiki where I hope to create a wonderful universe at your service.

I invite you to the launch of my new platform:
