Personal story…
I was living in NYC, a dream come true in itself… I had what I call a ‘great on paper’ life. I had a well-paid job, I had a rent-stabilized apartment, I had fun + wonderful friends. I traveled quite a bit, quick trips back to the UK, skiing in the Alps, or the Rockies, girls-trips to the Islands… all great ‘on paper’, right? What did I have to complain about?
I had some time on my hands while traveling for business + started to do some personal development-type work. I was learning about my ability to create from new choices, about spirituality, about the Law of Attraction, about manifestation and thoughts become things… and I ended up doing a Vision Board… for some reason, I kept pulling out pictures of dining tables… I had a dining table, so I didn’t ‘get it’… but after pulling out about 6 table images, I had my attention…
In my imagination, I sat at one of those fancy dining tables, and said, ok Self – what is it you want me to know? In that daydream… I heard the hustle + bustle of family in the home, banging of pots in the kitchen, delicious aromas + squeals of kid laughter…
I realized I was reminding myself of my desires… I had always wanted to have a family one day… I knew, if I sat around in this life, without making changes, I could be there forever, I’d be ok… but eventually I would wake up and regret not listening to my own yearnings… regret not paying attention to my desires.
I decided that maybe it was time for me to think about buying a place… I followed my guidance + went to contract on a house + it didn’t work out… I was disappointed but tried again. The next time, my training kicked in + I said, ok Universe, if this is the path for me, to reach my desires + this house didn’t work out, there must be a better one for me…right?
I was positive + excited + continued… this happened until I was led to the 7th house!! Even I was amazed that I could be positive + still trust this was the path, but I did the work… wouldn’t you know that the house became mine + my next-door neighbors introduced me to my love, we are now married almost 12 years + have a daughter.
IMO, The Rolling Stones said it best,
“you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need.”
I tell you this story, to share that miracles are possible, that following your own guidance leads you to your best life… are you listening to your own desires? Are you paying attention enough to know what they are + what your next steps might be?
Your desires are yours because you chose them before you even came here, they are an opportunity for you to live the life you came here to live, to experience + grow + blossom into the fullest version of yourself.
This is why I love to run Vision Board Workshops because I create an environment where your desires are revealed + remembered + acted upon, to create a life you love. It’s not instant, it’s not actually about the destination at all… it’s about the beautiful unfolding of the journey to becoming you, the fullest expression of the most joyful you, with your heart’s desires fulfilled.
It’s an ongoing journey, it is a life-long mission to become more of you, in every way. More confident, more joyful, more peaceful, more trusting, more loving, more accepting, more satisfied, more fulfilled… in every way that matters to you.
Are you willing to take the journey?
