Manifestation blog
I have over ten years’ of writing for my blog.
For convenience and ease, I am only sharing the past year of my blog. Enjoy!
Bravery – Moving Through Uncomfortableness
“The possibilities are numerous once we decide to act and not react.” – George Bernard Shaw
We all face uncomfortable situations at some point in our lives. This is when things feel impossible. Sometimes, they scare us, and we have to do it anyway.
Think about confronting a problem or having to tell someone something they won’t like, making a phone call to someone new, or learning something new, such as driving a car for the first time. Your heart races. Your body starts to sweat. It’s difficult to swallow. Possibly, you even want to run away and not face whatever it is…
The Law of Increase – Change your Focus to Change your Results
The world seems to be spinning out of control. However, you don’t have to be. You can have peace. (And incidentally, when you are feeling peaceful, your circumstances will improve.) Just because your neighbor is sick, poor, or making really bad decisions, doesn’t mean you have to also.
There are two Universal laws in play here. The law of increase and it’s sibling, the law of decrease. One improves your prosperity and the other lets prosperity slip through your fingers. When I’m talking about prosperity, I mean in all things – health, relationships, finances, fun, and so on...
Create Your Future... Reevaluate Your Life in Six Steps
Don’t let your future happen to you. Create it. One way to do this is to reevaluate what is and choose what you would like it to be. Then take mini steps toward creating that choice in your reality.
According to John Edwards, a psychic medium, 2023 is the year of reevaluating. I was watching a podcast interview that he did recently and that got me thinking. He talks about this year as being a year of accountability when everyone and everything will be questioned and people will be more introspective and philosophical. In short, reevaluating…
Twisted Thinking Revealed Through Questions
What are the questions you aren’t willing to ask yourself?
What do you know to be true that if you opened yourself just a bit you might find another truth?
What do you believe that if you took another look at it you might realize you’d gotten it backwards?
It took one question and my life changed. Twisted thinking started to unwind.
A friend asked me a simple question...
Winter Solstice – From Dark to Light
Tonight is the winter solstice. What this means is that it is the longest night of the year, as well as the beginning of winter. It symbolizes a rebirth and a return to light.
Yes, it’s very dark outside. However, the light is coming. It won’t get darker.
Think of it as the dark meeting the light. The dark being the long night, and the light beginning to shine a bit more with the coming longer days.
So, what does this mean for you?
It’s an opportunity to reimagine yourself.
2023 Wrapped
It’s almost 2023. Are you ready? What will you have done by the end of next year?
I can hear you now. “Wait! We aren’t even done with 2022 and already you want me to think of next December?”
Yes! Now is the time to start dreaming about what will make 2023 a successful year. Don’t worry, you can change your mind. You can make different choices. For now, just start dreaming (and write them down)…
Reaching for that Better Feeling
Sometimes we don’t know why something happenings or doesn’t. We may never know.
When something doesn’t go your way, allow yourself to have the initial reaction. Then move on. The quicker you can get to a space where you can acknowledge that it didn’t show up the way you wanted, the quicker you can allow something really good to come from that.
In short, find something good about what happens.
Anxiety Buster
It’s time to bust apart any anxiety you may be feeling during this holiday season (and in truth, all other times). This can seem difficult when those around you are in worry mode. Anxiety is contagious, but you have a choice.
Here is a simple method to help you let go of the anxiety and increase more of the feelings that give you hope, gratitude, and ease.
A Gratitude Thanksgiving
Did you know that being thankful and grateful can release the hold of depression?
This works because you are shifting your focus to something that does work for you AND you change how you actually feel within your body. Think of it as a treasure hunt for something even better.
This leads to you feeling better and better. Thus, the depression lifts.
Believe to Manifest
If you could ________, what would you do?
I was reading a book about John of God, a healer in Brazil, and he asked a man in a wheelchair, “If you could walk, what would you do?” This got me thinking, if I could live without my limitations, what would I do?
And I was shocked to realize that even though I want to do things, I couldn’t answer this question very easily…
Are You Listening? The Way Manifestation Works
What are you actually asking for?
What nudges are presented to you?
Are you listening?
What actions are you taking?
The way manifestation works is that you ask for what you truly desire. The Universe gives you a message of some action to take leading you to your desire. Then you act on the message…
Sugar Season
Do you have a goal of how you really want to feel this holiday season?
It’s sugar season…the time of the year when sugar is all around us and people eat more than they normally would. Sugar season is Halloween to New Year’s. Think about trick-or-treating, baking, holiday parties, the beginning of winter (hot chocolate), extra treats at work, family get-togethers, and more.
You may ask, “What’s the big deal?” Many people can handle eating sugar in small amounts. But the small amounts aren’t what they used to be. Historically, humans didn’t eat sugar until about 2,000 years ago when they discovered sugar cane. Since then humans have been eating more and more sugar…
Following Your Intuition
What do you do when you have a fork in the road in your life?
Do you ever follow other’s directions and then wish you hadn’t?
Where are the parts of your life where you assume that others know more, when, in fact, what you know is perfectly acceptable and usable…
Follow the Energy. Trust Yourself. Believe in Yourself.
Sometimes, we don’t know why things happen until after.
Sometimes, we wouldn’t pick the path, and still the path picks us.
Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense (according to others) and we still feel drawn to do it.
Sometimes, we scratch our heads and wonder how it turned out better than we ever imagined.
That is what following the energy is like…
What Do You Believe?
I have a pillow that I see every day. It quietly sits on the bench in the hallway. “She believed she could, so she did.” It’s a silent reminder that what I believe becomes reality.
That got me thinking. There are two ways to approach this. Only focus on what you do believe will happen or dig deep to see where you’re tripping yourself up with beliefs that no longer work for you. The trick is to balance the two approaches. For if you only look for what doesn’t work, then you will get more of what doesn’t work.
Forgiveness is a Choice
Don't forgive others. Don't forgive yourself. Hold onto all those horrible feelings as you relive them over and over in your head. Talk about what is going wrong. Blame others for everything. And continue to feel worse and worse.
Or forgive yourself and everyone and everything around you and start feeling great.
It's your choice.
You are the only one experiencing your life. What do you choose to feel? Do you want to hold onto the anger, hurt, and bitterness? Or do you want to hold onto the yummy feelings of love, kindness, and joy? What experiences do you choose to have?
Being Grateful Even When...Naples was Hit by a Category 4 Hurricane
"Don't worry. It won't be bad," said my husband as he walked into the condo in Naples, Florida. I figured he knew what he was talking about since he's a Floridian. (And as a pilot, he understands weather patterns.) Famous last words.
I’m grateful my husband had fun in true Floridian fashion while staying safe. He took a nap, then played the piano, and drank wine while partying with the guys in the building.
The day after, Bruce was grateful to be alive…
Manifestation Day is Born
The deep dive started out as it normally did. Three of us get together once a month for anywhere from a day to a week. (Yes, you read that right.) We state our intentions and then start diving into the emotions to clear the way for our desires to come to us. We have been doing this for years.
This past deep dive, the common theme of our intentions was to align with our intentions with ease…
Checklist Your Way to Ease
You know that feeling you get when you check something off your list? Check. Done. YES!
What if you could expand your list and feel even better?
A checklist can do so much more than let you know what you “have to” do. Yes, it includes the three things that you “need” to get done. It can also include some of the things that you know you will do even if they aren’t on the list. The clue is to use a checklist for your benefit.
Get Unstuck With Tea
Do you feel stuck? What would it take to move forward in your life? If you feel stuck, chances are you have let your imagination stall. Either you aren’t imagining anything or you are imagining what can go wrong or isn’t working for you. Your imagination helps you create your future. But how do you feed your imagination?
