A Place Called Prosperity

How would you like to live in Prosperity? No, I mean literally, live in Prosperity. You can do just that in a little town in Pennsylvania. The population is 2,090. Average temperatures range from 85 degrees in July to 22 degrees in January.

Not a fan of cold weather? Right here in Texas, you can find a town named Prosper. It’s a small town, as well, consisting of approximately 6,000 souls. LeAnn Rimes is a resident, as well as former Dallas Cowboys football players Bill Bates and Deion Sanders.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be reminded of prosperity every time you write your return address on an envelope or fill it in on a form?

Prosperity, SC, is another option, with a population of 1,116. There is also Prosperity, AR; Prosperity, FL; Prosperity, IN; Prosperity, MO; Prosperity, TN and Prosperity, WV. Prosperity is everywhere. Wouldn’t you just love to go there?

There’s Goodrich, TX, and Goodrich, MI. And you know it feels good to be rich. You can do a lot of good with riches, and many people have, as evidenced by their names emblazoned on everything from hospitals and public parks to libraries and school buildings.

Money, MS, sounds like an appealing place to live. And I was intrigued to discover an unincorporated area called Wealthy in Leon County, TX.

There are cities and unincorporated areas called Cash in AR, MS, VA, MI, KY, MO, GA, TX and SC. And Fortune, AR sounds absolutely captivating.

For a double dose of prosperity in your address, Bountiful, UT comes complete with a Bountiful Blvd., and Greenback, TN includes a Greenback Road.

There are plenty of street names with a prosperous vibration about them, as well. There are Prosperity Streets in Jackson, MS; El Campo, TX; Carterville, IL; Chauvin, LA; and Carnegie, OK.

And streets named Prosper abound in Palatka, FL; Dallas, TX; Houston, TX; Malden, MA; Sacramento, CA; New Brunswick, NJ; Makoti, ND; De Pere, WI; Providence, RI and Polk, TX.

Money Street in Gladewater, TX has an alluring ring to it, as does Fortune Road in Salt Lake City, UT. And one of my personal favorites is Dinero, TX.

Getting an address that sounds prosperous is one way to remind yourself that prosperity is all around you. Or if you don’t want to change your address, why not consider a change of name? For a couple hundred bucks, less than the cost of a major move, you could march right down to the courthouse and leave with a new autonym. Wouldn’t it be exhilarating to be called Ms. Money or Mr. Fortune? Don’t forget to change your driver’s license, social security card…on second thought, maybe it’s easier to move.

Of course, there are simpler ways to remind yourself that prosperity is growing in your life and all around you. Developing a habit of gratefulness helps us to see how much there is to be grateful for. And the more we focus on the wealth and abundance that is all around, the more wealth and abundance we will see. Rejoicing in other people’s good fortune lets the energy of good fortune know that it is welcome in our lives, as well.

Maybe I’ll move to Prosper Street AND change my name. How does Cathy Fortune sound? Uh huh. Oh, yeah! That’s what I’m talking about.

What about you? What’s your plan for reminding yourself to prosper now? I mean right now।
