so, i manifested something that made me laugh. it was a reminder that the law of attraction always works -- even to bring about things we don't want. a short while ago, i noticed what looked to be a little horizontal wrinkle forming high on the bridge of my nose....right between my eyes. i inspected and assessed it every morning and silently asked myself a litany of questions: had it progressed? could anyone else see it? how did i get it? what should i do about it? and on and on… Continue

so my boss just came in and told me that they are cutting my hours -- in half. starting on july 15th. i'm not sure what i feel yet. stillness. relief? i feel like it's an opportunity. an opportunity for me to put my money where my mouth is, to accept responsibility for this, to stay relaxed, and ride it out. to flow downstream and see where it takes me. i have a gut feeling that a much needed change is on the horizon. my life had reached a fever pitch in the last few months....… Continue

feeling overloaded with stimuli and input this past weekend, i decided to go on a silent retreat. but without going anywhere :-) it started on monday morning when rather then turning on music or a morning t.v. show as i got ready for my day, i meditated, showered, dressed and ate breakfast in silence. it felt good. really good. i wondered if i could be silent the entire day. no speaking, no t.v. no cell phones, no music.... i did quite well. i made it through the day using fewer than 35 words… Continue

i've decided to develop my intuition. the first order of business is to expect it. then to listen for it. and finally, to honor it. sometimes it's as clear as a bell. actually.....it's always pretty clear. often, i just need to take a deep breath, turn down the other "noise", sit quietly...and listen. i'm sort of new to this, so i may be in overkill mode, but i LOVE asking myself "which path to take?" with regards to pretty much everything: which task to complete first at work, what to w… Continue

so, today is day two of season two. i can't believe how quickly 100 days flew by. season one was filled with wonderful manifestations (too many to list) and LOTS of learning. it's been a busy 100 days. wonderful and fabulous yes! .....yet busy. my biggest desire for season two is more free time. time to smell the roses, to read and post in my favorite groups, to blog and read blogs, to connect with fellow co-creators and to generally....just....BE. to exercise, to socialize, to d… Continue

i'm getting the hang of this. i "give up" quite frequently now. i don't work so hard trying to figure everything out...nor do i suck it up and power though things (as was my habit). i admit that i don't have all the answers....or the solutions.....and that help would be GREAT and very much appreciated. i take breaks. i sit down and eat lunch. i meditate. i wait. i wonder. i muse. i look for positive aspects. i reach for better feeling thoughts. i ask. i expect. i listen for promptings and intuit… Continue

for the first time since the economy took a nosedive, i felt fear about losing job. i was taking a walk with a co-worker and all her energy and words were focused on our company and how sales are down....way down and how the "powers that be" were looking closely at job descriptions and performance....she went on and on about how change is on the horizon etc. etc. i came back from what should have been a nice, relaxing, energizing walk out in the sunshine feeling awful. really awful. scar… Continue

such an interesting time. abraham/esther hicks' words: "be easy about all this" keep coming to mind. and the idea that there is no finished product, no end, no perfectly complete outcome. well at least not "perfect" to the degree that we never want anything else. it is our nature to continue to desire and strive and....to expand. i had some wonderful, FABULOUS mini-manifestations. before i had a chance to share them with the mini-manifestations group, i got sick. it was a blessing. seriously.… Continue

a situation happened the day before i started season one that made me so angry that my feelings bled over into the following day. imagine starting day one of season one hopping MAD. nice vibrational alignment...not! i think my excitement about starting my first season carried me through the day. i forced myself to think about other things. i was also really busy running errands. i struggled, i stumbled, but i kept my mouth shut (here anyway). essentially, i bottled it up. lord knows i di… Continue

so, it's day one of my first season. for the last week or so i've been thinking about what i'd like to do, allow and manifest....and now i'm ready to boldly DECLARE it! the verb for this season is "allow". i'm a great "doer"...driven, strong and energetic. this season, i've decided to focus on practices that will gently shift me away from making it happen into a more "allowing" place....into alignment with source. practices that require discipline, but which will help me get out of my o… Continue
