“Imagination is everything,” Albert Einstein said, “It is your preview of life’s coming attractions.”

In a few short weeks, the last page of the calendar will be turned, and we’ll be into 2012.

What you believe and expect will become true for you. Is this good news?

Learn how to attract your heart’s desires in this dynamic workshop to Create Your Vision for 2012 on Thursday, December 29.

Jerry and Esther Hicks are the couple that brought the teachings of Abraham to the world. They helped me understand the astonishing power of my feelings, how the law of attraction really works, and how to create a most delicious life from joy.

Abraham’s uplifting perspective on death was a great comfort to me when my Mom passed away a year ago.

Here’s what Esther wrote in her email:

Dear, dear Friends,

Our sweet Jerry made his transition into Nonphysical last Friday. How sweet the Vortex is feeling to him today!

Jerry said to me when we came together over 30 years ago that given the difference in our ages that it was likely “that I will cut out on you early,” to which I replied, “I don’t mind.” His joy of life and continual new discovery of purpose kept his life feeling fresh and we shared such joyous eagerness for life.

Over the years, Abraham has consistently insisted that there is no death. Again and again they have reminded us that there is only life and more life and more life. It has taken me some time to understand this, and I honestly must say I have not yet fully come to terms with it, but I do believe that in what we are calling Jerry’s death he is discovering the next logical step of life that Abraham has always been talking about. And at times I am catching a glimpse of the bigness of what Jerry is feeling and while I am still pretty mad at him for not sticking around longer to surprise and delight me in all the ways he has been doing throughout our 30 years together I accept fully that the next logical step of joyous life for Jerry was to be found in his re-emergence into Nonphysical.

Since 1985 it has been Jerry and Esther and Abraham and I believe with everything that I am that that has not changed. I know that Jerry will continue to be the third powerful point of the triad of Energy that makes up the Abraham experience and I am certain that his new vantage point will be, as it has always been, of advantage to us all.

I know for sure that Jerry will help me, in time, release my own personal resistance to physical death, because I will not be able to maintain that resistance and also play easily with him. And my desire to continue not only my Abraham experience but also my Jerry experience I am certain he will be the catalyst to help me do what Abraham has been trying to help us all do all along.

Once again, Jerry is out there leading the way for me. But the difference this time is that I must find the way. I am not there yet, but it is my absolute promise to myself that I will find the way, because it is the most natural thing in the world to do and because Jerry has provided for me the reason to do it.

I am eager about what is ahead and while I cannot begin to explain or even imagine the details of how it is all going to play out, I am certain that it will be fun.

I am such a fortunate girl, to have been able to play with Jerry and Abraham and all of you for so many wonderful years and I am so eager to continue doing more of the same for many more years to come. I feel certain right now that not only has nothing gone wrong, but things are going especially right. It will be different, for sure, but it will also be very, very good.

I’m feeling such love for you all, and for Abraham and most of all for Jerry. And as I have said to him a thousand or more times through the years, “Well isn’t life just a kick in the pants?”

Love,
Esther

The staff at Abraham-Hicks have created a page where readers can share their appreciation of Jerry Hicks. Click here to visit the page

I have deep appreciation for Jerry’s willingness to ask questions unendingly, his courage in sharing the Abraham wisdom with other seekers, his humor, and the loving interactions he shared with Esther.

Abraham says:

“The best reason to make your transition into Nonphysical is not because physical is miserable. The best reason to make your transition into Nonphysical is that you have a sense of completion—and you are looking for another vantage point.”

Farewell Jerry Hicks! May you enjoy your new vantage point and continue to share with us your discoveries.

Mom: I Feel Good, Body Not So Good

Sarah had met Nancy three years earlier when their children were in the same class. The women enjoyed each other’s company as they volunteered for carnival and other school projects together. For a couple of years, when their children’s paths diverged, Sarah and Nancy lost touch, so Sarah was thrilled when she found out that her son Evan had been assigned to the same class as Nancy’s daughter Kristy. She looked forward to seeing her friend again and catching up.

But Sarah never saw Nancy. Kristy was picked up and dropped off by her grandparents and Sarah heard from another mother that Nancy had been diagnosed with breast cancer. When Sarah asked Nancy’s parents how things were going with Nancy, she was saddened to hear that the breast cancer had metastasized and, although no one knew how much time Nancy had left, Nancy was terminally ill.

Loving Impulse to Connect

Sarah decided to send Nancy a card in which she would convey all the love, sorrow and regret she felt for Nancy’s illness. For several days, Sarah tried to write a card but every time she sat down to write she found herself agonizing over the right words to use to express her feelings. She’d start writing and then stop – uncertain and reluctant, and finally put off completing the task one more day.

Several days passed. Then, on a rainy Tuesday morning, Sarah found out that the end of Nancy’s life had come much faster than anyone had expected and she was gone. Sarah was shaken and heartsick; she was wracked with regret. She wished with all her heart that she had completed the card she’d meant to write, that she’d just listened to her inner urgings and written what was in her heart.

In the nights that followed Nancy’s passing, Sarah grieved: she would awaken suddenly at 3 am wracked with guilt for not having communicated with her friend while she could, for not offering the support and love she knew her friend had needed. She wondered if there was something, anything that she could do now to support the little girl whom Nancy had left behind.

New Heart’s Desire

One morning Sarah woke up with a strong impulse: “I’ve got to get Kristy a locket,” she thought, “a locket that will hold a photo of Nancy and keep Nancy close to Kristy’s heart.” Sarah felt sure that Nancy would approve, and she felt energized and excited by her idea. She thought about how she would afford such an extravagant gesture. She could raise the funds for it within the school; perhaps Kristy’s classmates’ parents would like to contribute. Inspired about her idea, Sarah decided to approach the school counselor to feel out the other parents and see if they would get behind raising funds for Kristy’s locket.

The school counselor cautioned Sarah: Kristy’s teachers and counselors wanted to keep things as normal as possible for Kristy when she returned to school and raising funds for a locket to honor the memory of her mother might be too delicate and sensitive a situation.

One parent even cautioned Sarah that perhaps a locket with Nancy’s picture was too personal – it was a thing that a family member would purchase, not schoolmates. But Sarah was not going to let herself to be deterred by doubts and uncertainly this time. She had missed an opportunity when she hadn’t written the card to Nancy; this time, she would trust the impulse and stay open to receiving the funds she needed to buy the locket.

One by one, Nancy contacted the classroom parents and put forth her idea – “let’s get together to buy Kristy a locket that will hold a picture of Kristy’s mom close to her heart.”

Miracles Abound

The response was overwhelmingly positive. One person donated a gold chain, one person donated $80 and still donations poured in.

Sarah was thrilled by the generosity of Kristy’s classmates and their parents. She thought, “I didn’t listen to my guidance when I felt the urge to write that letter. This time I listened and followed my heart. It’s amazing what can happen when we follow that loving voice inside and get out of our own way.”

Sarah had collected more than $300. She was able to buy a beautiful locket and still had an additional $125 in cash. Sarah took the beautiful chain and locket and the cash and gave it to Kristy’s dad, Brad.

Sarah said, “We want you to know that we are all so sorry for your loss. We know that there’s nothing we can do to make the loss of your wife and Kristy’s mother less painful, but we want to offer you a gift of love. We hope that when Kristy wears this locket she will feel how loved she is and that, even though she can’t see her, her mother is never very far away.”

Brad gave Sarah a big hug, took her hand in his, and grinned. “You know,” he beamed, “Kristy’s been asking for a locket. You have no idea how much this will mean to her – how much this means to me!”

Sarah felt a rush of warmth spread out from her heart, as if she was being hugged from the inside out. A tear trickled down her face, as she thought, “but I did have the idea.” Miracles can come from listening to your heart.

Feelings Are Your Guidance From Source

Minter Gardens

Minter Gardens was an hour away by car, but the thought of 32 acres of picturesque gardens really appealed to me. The morning of our outing brought pounding rain. We decided to make the best of it.  With raincoats and hats, and my camera, of course, we set out to have an adventure, rain or shine.

It was still raining when we arrived in the gloom. The thought of raindrops on roses brought to mind that song from the Sound of Music movie, My Favorite Things:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens,
Brown paper packages tied up with string,
These are a few of my favorite things…

When the dog bites,
When the bee stings,
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel
So sad.

Raindrops on a rose

Indeed, one of my favorite games these days to lift my mood from sad to glad, or tired to energized, is to ask myself this question:

What are my 10 favorite things about … ?

Sometimes it’s a stretch to find 10 things, but this deliberate searching for what feels good was a great mood enhancer. One favorite thing after another and my energy spiraled up with each happy thought.

As we began our wet walk through Minter Gardens, I asked myself this question:
What are my 10 favorite things right now?

The answers flowed easily:

1. I enjoy spending quiet time with my husband away from kids, computers and phones.
   

   Howard hides from the rain under a big leaf

2. Walking in the rain feels so timeless. It’s exhilarating to discover one small beauty after another in this floral tapestry of color.
3. I love the creative design of the 12 themed gardens, such as the arbour garden with its lush green leaves hanging overhead and surrounding us on both sides.
4. The rose garden reminds me of more favorite things.
5. The fresh smell of the rain and the plants is invigorating.
6. I love taking pictures of the patterns of raindrops on roses and leaves.
7. I enjoy the way the rain flowed down the slender and pointed, needle-like leaves of one tree leaving big droplets on the leaf ends that glowed in the light.
8. The many fountains and mini waterfalls add soothing sounds to our walk.
9. I feel inspired and excited to share our ideas about how to beautify our own home and community gardens.
10. It sure feels enlivening to stretch my legs and move my body.

Water Wall

Just focusing on these favorite things had me invigorated. Howard and I had an uplifting walk despite the rain.

Your turn now.

What are 10 of your favorite things? Doesn’t have to be about an outing or a vacation in particular. Any time you think of your favorite things about any topic, you’ll feel good.

We humans tend to notice the bad more often than the good, so you may find that it’s a challenge coming up with 10 favorite things, but hang in there. When you practice focusing on the highlights like this, you’ll get better at it.

Here are five ways you can apply this question in your life:

1. At the end of your day, lying in bed, ask yourself, “What were my 10 favorite things about my day?”  Anything that stirs your heart, however small or unusual, can be on this 10 favorite things list. You may wake up in a better mood too.
2. Around the dinner table, play this game with your partner, children or friends: “What are your 10 favorite things about…” You may be fascinated at how their highlights differ from yours.
3. At a party, it’s a great conversation starter when you meet someone new and you need an icebreaker. You can reduce it to one question like “What do you enjoy most about…” or go on a roll and really exhilarate the mood if you can find 10 favorite things about anything.
4. About your partner, or boss, or children. Everyone has both negative and positive aspects. When you focus deliberately on what you love about someone, almost by magic, they will start showing you more of positive things you’ve been focusing on.
5. About your job or business. When you put your attention on the 10 favorite things you love about your job or business, you will attract more to love about your job or business.

Next time you want to raise your energy, remember you can shift the way you feel by asking yourself this question: What are my 10 favorite things about …?

In Joy.

Flower in the rain

“Let’s have a soak in the hot tub,” he murmured, kissing the back of my neck softly. “You are not getting anywhere staring at your monitor like that.”

Howard was right. I was just staring at my list of 52 possible names for the workshop we are doing in two weeks and getting nowhere fast.  It would be a workshop based on “A Course in Miracles” (ACIM)  – about love, about miracles, about joy. My initial enthusiasm had sputtered away as I was searching for just the right name.

Ever notice how when you are in the middle of wrestling with a problem, you can’t seem to figure it out and then a little later, when you relax or take a shower or meditate, the answer just pops into your head? That’s what I was hoping for. “Yes, let’s soak in the tub.”

“Our current workshop title “Return to Love” is too similar to Marianne Williamson’s great book title “A Return to Love.” I said.

“I like it,” Howard retorted. “but you’ve got to let go of having our name be unique because all the best lines have already been used.”

“No! I’ve asked spirit for help and the answer’s been given. I just need to let it in whatever it is.”

I relaxed into his arms in the warm water and we circled around onto other topics. Soon we were laughing about how life presents situations to us which tie us in knots and how we always manage to rise above them.

Then feeling a little livelier, we bandied about movie titles for inspiration to name our workshop.  “Return of the Beloved”  Or “The Kingdom strikes back” OR “Return to Love – A New Hope” OR …

Suddenly Howard asked, “How about “Return to Love Reloaded?”

I burst out laughing as I imagined us joining forces to free the minds of those still trapped in “the matrix,” I mean “the illusion.”  Hmmmm, many ways one could interpret that title. Reloaded also means to fill back up. I like the sound of that. Let’s fill back up with Love!

“That’s unique enough,” I said. “That’s our title.” Then I leapt out of the hot tub to capture my thoughts on the page.

And so “Return to Love Reloaded” was named. A workshop based on the spiritual teachings of A Course in Miracles coming up in two weeks: Saturday June 25 to June 26, 2011.

Let the sun shine in

In the last seven weeks, I have been clearing my space, decluttering, organizing, completing projects, sorting, simplifying and beautifying my surroundings.

The impetus for this was a coaching course I’m taking from Coachville which started on April 12. The course is called “World Power Method” and I’m loving it.  The objective  is to redesign my environments so that they pull me forward into my most joyful fulfilling life.  And of course for me, the process must be enjoyable too. After all, I’m here for the joy of the journey.

This course is not just about clearing physical clutter. Thomas Leonard (Founder of Coach University) and the originator of this program articulated nine different environments:  relationships, financial, self, body, network, physical, spiritual, nature and memetic (ideas).

When you do it right you can delegate your success to your environment.”
~ Thomas Leonard

Here are some of my achievements so far:

• I have done some major clearing and sorting of papers and files in, on top, and around my desk
• I unsubscribed from over 80 email newsletters
• I cleared out and sold my father’s home (we got 3 bids and the price we wanted as I intended)
• I’m using new software to better track my financial affairs
• I created a Google group for several individuals saving me time in keeping in touch
• I’m procrastinating less and getting more done
• I’m more conscious of being loving in my communications with family members
• I’m getting better at saying NO and not  over-committing
• I’m more deliberate about the thoughts I think about my body and aging to ensure that what I tell myself is completely loving
• I’m spending more time reading inspirational books – currently it’s Byron Katie’s “Who Would You Be Without Your Story” – an excellent read. I want my ideas environment to have a high vibe too.

In the “World Power Method” coaching course we were asked to coach at least 5 others in these processes, so I decided to  incorporate some of these ideas along with my unique joyous twist on things into a new coaching program that I’m now offering.

I shared this intention with a few clients and friends and soon I had 4 new clients. Now these folks are clearing their closets, releasing conflicts in relationships and beautifying their homes and gardens.  This has been so much fun that I’m spreading the word again.

What about YOU?

… Are you stepping over piles of paper and stuff you don’t like dealing with?

… … Got messes and breakdowns and clutter that are sucking your life energy?

… … … Maybe that relationship upset is stopping you from making that important phone call.

Spring Leaves

Your environment is affecting your results, whether you are aware of it or not.

You are responding to the mood of each environment you occupy. There are things that lift your spirits and things that drain your energy.

What if you could deliberately design this outer world so that it pulls you forward – naturally and automatically – into your most juicy joyful life?

Well you can!

Introducing my new program…

Spring Clean Your Life: Design Your World So It Inspires You To Greatness

Tulips at New Westminster Quay

In this program, you will become aware of the energy of everything within your nine environments and learn how to consciously design them so that they naturally and organically call forth your most powerful way of being.

All the details are at this link:

In the previous post, Howard dares to challenge me in “The Day She Lost All Touch With Reality.” I recommend you read that first. Then my explanation of the true reality will make more sense.

“The power set in you … is so far beyond your little conception of the infinite that you have no idea how great the strength that goes with you.” ~ A Course In Miracles

If I’m so powerful, how come my power steering wasn’t working?, I whined to myself as I dragged my butt back to the chair in front of the computer. Another email, another 10 tasks, I sighed.

Then it occurred to me.

This loss of power in steering our car was a metaphor for a struggle I was having with a project that was floundering. My low mood, my avoidance of tasks, and my reluctance to try a new direction were all indicators of my power loss. My energy was being sucked down every time I even thought about that project. Then I started to worry about other things too, like a big dental bill. With each story I told myself about how difficult and unpleasant this project was, I became more and more miserable.

Perhaps the power steering failure was a gentle wake-up call. If I continued to think and feel as I had been, nothing would change. My thoughts of struggle and lack would bring me more manifestations of struggle and lack.  After all, as Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is your preview of life’s coming attractions.” If I wanted to change my attractions, I had to stop imagining the worst that could happen. I decided to shift my focus and find my way back up into joy. This time I would use my favorite mind power tool: “What-if-Up.”

What if I could gently correct my internal steering and this would help resolve the physical manifestation in the car? Now that’s a thrilling thought. I’ve created so many other wonderful events with my mind, why not this?

What if the mechanic is brilliant and finds the problem easily?
What if there is only a little fine-tuning required, nothing major?
What if the total bill is under $100?
What if the total bill is under $50?
Even better: what if the mechanic says that there is nothing even worth charging for and there is no bill?!

Now I was feeling much better, so I wrote a story about how I wanted the project to unfold. In short, I wanted to feel inspired, in the flow with tasks, brimming with ideas, in harmony with my partners, eager to move forward and enjoying every moment.

This afternoon Howard called me from the repair shop. “Guess what?” he said. “You got your wish.”

“What?”

“The mechanic couldn’t find anything major wrong with the power steering. All they did was lubricate the linkage and tighten a belt. They didn’t charge us anything.”

“My mind power tool worked well, didn’t it?” I said.

“Yes, I was skeptical, but I’m becoming a believer.”

I had fixed the power steering by turning on my own power – the creative genius power that was unleashed when I reclaimed my joy. I didn’t change the power steering directly by telekinesis, but the right attitude attracted other people with a similar flowing attitude to help. Thought by thought, one better feeling at a time, I turned from feeling bad to feeling good, and joyfully held my focus on what I wanted.

Understanding the astonishing power of my mind and steering my feelings gently towards joy is the key to creating anything I want. In the words of Abraham-Hicks,

“It is our absolute promise to you
that when you understand
the power of feeling good now,
no matter what,
you will hold the key to the achievement
of any state of being,
any state of health,
any state of wealth, or
any state of anything you desire.”
~ Abraham-Hicks (Ask and It is Given)

My feelings let me know how tuned in I am to “the power set in me” and as Wayne Dyer likes to say “feeling good = feeling God.”

Miriam & Howard

It all began two weeks ago. I drove home from bringing the kids to school and the power steering failed in our, once faithful, Camry.

“Oh, S***!” I said. I was thinking much worse: This could be expensive. The car reverted to brute force steering. I could manage it, but it was more dangerous as it induced a hearty grunt to crank the car around a normal corner.

I expected to receive payment for a job soon and I had looked forward to catching up on my other bills. So I was not eager to pay the mechanic. I simply topped up the power steering fluid and crossed my fingers.

Later that day, Miriam drove the car for a few errands. I was eager to hear how it worked after she came home.

“It was fine” she reported.

“Whew, that’s a relief. I guess the extra fluid may have helped after all.” I kept my fingers crossed and tried to ignore the niggling worry.

Unfortunately, the car had a niggling memory too. A week later, Miriam drove to a friend’s place to carpool. I received a call. “Howard, I got to Denise’s place, but the steering is terrible. It’s like the manual steering on that old Saturn. Very heavy.”

My heart sank. “Can you still drive it?”

“I got here, but I can’t keep driving it like this. What’s wrong? Is it dangerous to drive?”

“You can probably still drive it. The car always has the manual steering, if the power fails. But you have to be well prepared to crank hard.”

“I think we better take Denise’s car from here.”

“Yeah. Just drive it home later.”

Now we were both crossing our fingers and toes – hard, just like the steering. Mine were beginning to cramp. The car had some good days and some bad days. A few days later, Miriam chirped with “I think the car is just responding to my vibration. When I’m in a good mood, the car seems to work just fine. I think we can fix it with our energy!”

I’d heard this stuff before and didn’t care to argue. “Well, you can vibrate however you want to,”  I oozed my sarcasm all over the floor. “But I got that check today. I’m calling Phil tomorrow for repairs.”

Later that evening, Miriam approached me excitedly. “What if this power steering fix is easier than we thought? I was getting anxious about that outstanding dentist bill, but what if we can get both of these bills readily paid off this week? Maybe the power steering will be so easy to fix that it costs less than $100. What if Phil can look at it tomorrow right away? What if it’s under $50? We don’t really know, so we might as well pre-pave it the way we want it. What if they can just adjust it for free?”

Have you ever felt bludgeoned with optimism? She might as well have been orating in Greek to convince a snake to fly. This snake wasn’t buying any of it. “No one’s going to fix this for free. The world doesn’t work that way!”

“We don’t really know. Why not imagine that it’s easy and costs nothing? At least we can feel a better vibration in the meantime.”

I bit my tongue. Oh Man, did I marry a vibrational maniac!? She’s really lost it this time. Never in a million years . . .

But there’s no point in reasoning with her when she’s in vibrate-up mode, so I nodded in dismissal. Let her have this vibration nonsense. Soon Miriam was chuckling with our son to some goofy music videos on Youtube. At first, this was just irritating, but when their laughter became out of control, I got curious. Soon I was laughing over her shoulder too.

Old faithful Camry

The next morning I called Ambassador Auto Repair. Gerry at the front desk offered “Hiya Howie. Just bring it down now. We can check it this morning.” They even had an extra vehicle I could borrow while they looked at ours. At least it was a pleasure that we had such a great mechanic. Phil and Gerry always had friendly smiles. Some other mechanics might just be happy to see me because it meant more dollars in their bank account, but not Ambassador. I trusted that they would do the professional basics and at a reasonable price. I enjoyed Phil’s genuine laugh and how he loved to connect with people. It was a beautiful, sunny day as I left our car in their capable hands.

Before lunch, Gerry called back, “the car’s ready. We couldn’t find anything too serious. We checked the tension on the belt and lubricated the linkage. The power steering is pumping fluid really well now.”

When I went into the shop Phil gave me a hug – yes, a mechanic who hugs.  “No charge for this one,” he offered.

“No charge!? Are you serious? Miriam said this would happen.” I was ready to plead: You’ve gotta charge me something or I’ll never hear the end of this.

“Don’t worry. There’ll be next time.” He replied with a wink.

I smiled as I settled back into our faithful Camry. I put on an Abraham-Hicks CD. I think I better listen to that part on vibrational reality again.

And thank you, Miriam, for holding onto joy regardless of my realistic reality.

“Why? You were so excited before.” I was curious about what had changed.

“I just love this community and my furniture would fit perfectly into this space, but it can’t work. I still have four years left on my mortgage and will have to pay a big penalty to end it. I’m working full time and studying in the evenings and I’ve visiting my mother in Florida in two weeks.”

With each consideration, she slumped further in the chair. Her voice got quieter and her shoulders sagged. It was like watching the air seep out of the hot air balloon as the fire died out.

“It’s a great opportunity,” she sighed, “but I can’t afford it and I just don’t have the time.”

I leaned closer to Sarah. I wanted to remind her about law of attraction. “Sarah you are telling me what you don’t want. What is it that you DO want?”

Her eyes lit up, she sat up straight, and she sparked to that familiar question.

“Well I would like to live here, and I want to sell my house at a high enough price to recover the cost of my renovations and the penalty,” she declared, “And I want to sell it quickly, so that I can still visit my Mom, but I want to move after my visit. I don’t want any extra fuss so I’ll still have time to study. I want this to be easy.”

“That’s more like it,” I encouraged. “Maybe there could even be a bidding war for your house like there was on Dina’s house.”

Sarah was shocked. “You’re kidding me?!”

“No I’m not,” I retorted. “It happened twice in a row.”

“I like that,” Sarah enthused, leaning forward and waving her hands, “I want to have a buyer who absolutely loves my place, maybe several interested buyers. Money is not an issue for them.”

Sarah was inspired to take another walk around the neighborhood, this time with the eyes of a new resident. Each step fueled another exciting possibility. She imagined herself planting kale and chard in her future garden and chatting with neighbors. She saw herself giving yoga classes in the multipurpose room. And she danced in the dining room to the tune of “Dancing in the Street.” All her doubts had completely evaporated. She was on fire.

Exuberant after her dance, Sarah sliced the air with her hand. “I’ve decided. I’m moving. I’ll call the realtors when I get home.”

And with that declaration, we hugged goodbye and she skipped out the door.

The next evening, Sarah called. “Guess what?!” she blurted. “My house is almost sold already!”

“Really? That’s fast. So tell me.”

“Two realtors who work together came this morning and I agreed to list with them. One agent hung a ‘for sale’ sign in front and the other agent started to take pictures for the listing. A woman driving by saw the sign and called to see if she could view my place right away. It hadn’t even been listed yet! The buyer came and absolutely loved it. She begged us not to list it and said she would be back tomorrow with her mother to make a deal.”

“It hadn’t even been listed yet?”

“No,” Sarah exclaimed, “but I first had to really instruct the realtors on how this sale was going to work. I told them that I wanted our intention to be to sell this house easily, effortlessly and quickly. I suggested that there might even be a bidding war. The realtors were skeptical and warned me not to expect so much. They said my asking price was higher than others in the area so it might take longer or I’d have to settle for less. I think they were just trying to be professional in letting me know how it normally went. I told them that this was not going to be a “normal” sale. I said ‘I’m an extraordinary person and this is an extraordinary house and this will be an extraordinary sale. Please stop telling me it won’t be and hold the intention that this sale will be easy, effortless and quick.’”

“Wow, you are a mighty manifestor, Sarah!”

“And even when the buyer said she was coming back with her mother, one of the agents said ‘oh no, now we have to convince the mother.’ ‘No, no, no,’ I said, ‘the mother will love it just as much as she does.’ ”

“I’m so excited for you Sarah. Call me tomorrow and let me know what happens.”

The next day the woman and her mother came back and the deal was done. Sarah got her asking price before her house even got listed.

“I said this deal will be a win-win-win for all and flow with effortless ease,” Sarah confirmed, “and that is exactly what I created. Now I am free to concentrate on school, work and my trip to Florida. I will move into my dream home in mid-March, the perfect time for me.”

“That is an awesome creation. What did the realtors think?”

“The realtors got their fastest sale ever,” Sarah stressed. “They were flabbergasted. They’ve gone from thinking I’m nuts to thinking I’m incredible! Regarding this ‘manifestation stuff,’ they said ‘whatever it is that you’ve got, we want it!’ ”
