JOURNAL OF ABUNDANCE

📓 Welcome to the Journal of Abundance

At Abundant Stories, we don’t just hold space for your story—we grow through ours, too. This isn’t your typical blog. It’s a living journal. A collection of reflections, lessons, and moments that shape us, stretch us, and sometimes surprise us.

These entries are written with intention—to remind you that your journey matters, your voice is valid, and growth doesn’t always look like a straight line.

This is where our stories meet yours. Let’s keep growing—together.

Own Your First‑Gen Journey: Navigating College Admissions with Confidence

What if your college application told more than just your GPA and test scores? What if it told your story—your values, your growth, and where you're headed next?

This blog is a first-gen roadmap through the college admissions process, designed to help you connect the dots between your past, present, and future.
