Through the Eyes of Abundance

There’s abundance all around,
yet so often, we ask for more,
as if sitting in a gold mine,
wishing for silver instead.

Wanting more is never wrong,
but forgetting what already is
becomes the quiet thief of joy.

As I sit at my kitchen table,
dog curled at my feet,
a warm, healthy meal before me,
music filling my soul,
I feel the heat of my home,
the softness of clothes that move with me
as I dance across the kitchen floor.
This is abundance.

Gratitude doesn’t cancel desire,
it deepens it.
Growth and expansion are why
I chose this human experience.
But if I can’t fall to my knees
for what’s already here,
how could I ever cherish
what’s still to come?

So as I walk this ever-changing path,
dreaming of what’s next,
I stop,
and take it in,
and feel grateful for this view.

I may not yet be at the top,
but it’s beautiful right now.
And when I reach the next peak,
I’ll remember every tender moment
that carried me here.

Life is so expansive,
because there’s nothing we truly lack
when we choose to see
how abundant it already is.
Even waking up
to another day
is proof.

About Me

I’m Heather Dyan Morgan, a writer, speaker, and podcast host who left behind everything I knew to start over from scratch.
Literally the definition of wandering the wild mess.

Born and raised in Utah (yes, I grew up Mormon), I walked away from the only life I had ever known—including a good man who simply wasn’t meant for me, and moved to Tennessee with no friends, no family, and no place to call home. I had spent over a decade climbing the corporate ladder, and one day I simply told my boss: “I’m moving. Keep me or don’t.”

A little wild? Maybe. But I’ve always felt like a caged bird waiting to be free.
And once I finally jumped, there was no turning back.

Those early months, bouncing between Airbnbs, navigating heartbreak, identity shifts, and deep solitude, were more than a leap. They were a rebirth.
And somehow, they became the beginning of everything.

Now I share my journey through my podcast (Wandering the Wild Mess), I’m working on an aligned project of digital healing guides, and continue to pour into the written word—because storytelling has always been my way of making sense of the chaos and helping others feel less alone in theirs.

I’ve been writing since I could hold a pencil and asking deep questions since I could form a sentence. I’m endlessly curious about the human experience—how we think, feel, and move through this world. I believe we don’t fail; we just evolve.

I’m here to remind you that it’s okay not to have it all figured out. You’re allowed to grow, grieve, start over, and still be wildly worthy of love and joy.

I enjoy deep conversations, acoustic music, mountain views, and campfire moments that make you feel something. And I believe that if you’re reading this, you’re here for a reason.

Thanks for being part of my wild mess. Let’s wander it together.

And in case no one told you today—you matter
