Kate’s Runaway Artistic Success

From Ken: My good friend Casey Klahn and I gave a dual art workshop last summer. As I often do when I’m teaching painting, I’ll follow the art workshop session for those interested with a Manifesting 123 lecture. I am always amazed at how many people come up later and tell me that not only was Manifesting 123 a very big bonus to the art class, but it was just the information they had been searching for. Here’s Kate’s story and a hefty plug for all the other artists mentioned here. It’s all about the arts today. Have some fun and check out their links below.Dear Ken, I was first introduced to Manifesting 123 at the painting workshop that I took with you and Casey Klahn in the summer of 2012 at the Madden Museum in Denver.Although the “power of positive thought” was not a new one to me, there was something about the way you described how thoughts become reality that intrigued me. So as soon as it was available for my Kindle, I bought a copy.But first, the whole reason I was able to attend your workshop was through a bit of “fore-shadowing” of manifestation. I wanted to attend when the workshop was first mentioned months before, but money was tight. I kept thinking to myself how much I wanted to go and how much it would mean to me. Well, about 2 weeks before the workshop I still didn’t have the funds, but I kept thinking somehow, I’m going to go. Then two things happened at the same time. I got an email from Casey asking me to confirm my registration and I got an unexpected bonus at work for the exact amount on the same day (well, plus $20 for gas!). Pretty exciting stuff! After reading Manifesting 123 cover to cover, I decided to give it a go. I tried my best, but I could not make “the movie” work for me. I struggled to focus. In a way, I felt overwhelmed. You see, what I want is to be is a full-time artist. My thinking was that it will require a bunch of puzzle pieces to fall in to place. Then I’d start thinking about the obstacles… well, you can guess that didn’t get me far. Then I had a flash of the blinding obvious and decided to concentrate on the most important element. I imagined art collectors who connect with my work and have the disposable income to purchase my paintings. Within a week my gallery called with news of a sold painting. Imagine my joy and gratitude! Then a sale came from another source – an art lover bought 6 of my gallery-wrapped prints from Fine Art America. I was even more thrilled and very thankful! More successes arrived a few days later. I sold five paintings off my website after sending out a newsletter announcing my “virtual” studio sale. It was an amazing time. Another few days and my gallery called. “Are you sitting down?” the gallery director asked. “No,” I was walking down the stairs with a load of laundry. “Well sit down,” he said. “You won’t believe this, but a couple from London stopped in the gallery today and purchased six of your paintings for their home in Texas!” Well, I did believe it, because I had played that scene in my head for two weeks, and you can bet I am filled with gratitude! Now I am adding to my movie and am manifesting a new gallery – possibly in Denver, that will open the door to more sales. I’ll let you know what happens! Gratefully, Kate Dardine
 Here is some delightful homework: Visit Kate’s VERY successful website Ditto for Casey Klahn’s art blog Cheryl St. John from the reviews column Miss Jill McDonald “I Think I Can” image on Etsy Ken’s art website That is a LOT of success in a very short time!  Kate was smart and determined. OK, so she had trouble visualizing the movie of her success, but she stayed with it and made a simple adjustment. She found a way around her blocks. It’s child’s play – make believe. She just put together a vision of success without a lot of complicated, moving parts to trip on. Brilliant and Easy. Once the path was clear for her visualization, the manifestations followed. Your thoughts truly create what you focus on. When you revisit your happy scenario each day, your thoughts are literally building your ideal. It’s as simple as rinse and repeat. What you envision is the First Thought. The Law of Attraction is what happens next, the side-effect. Many other important actions are taking place as well. Pieces are being moved “on the board” in many directions, routes and shortcuts are forming up and matches are being made. You can’t imagine all the moves to make in advance but you don’t have to. Keep your scenarios simple and keep to your scenarios. That’s all there is, but. Oh yes, deal with the worries. That is the 2 of the 123. Get the book or listen to my interviews online here. I make a point to discuss how to deal with those pesky worries. Listen in and you will quickly have a very simple and positive way to deal with those concerns that get in your way. There are amazing stories in the book and a bonus too. It’s about gratitude.If you truly desire change, then you are fully endowed to make it happen beginning right now. I am so appreciative of Kate and so many others that have shared there wonderful stories here. They are all for your encouragement and delight. Your story is coming to this newsletter soon! It’s the New Year so… Ready, Set, Go!I think you just whooshed by me! Ken Do you have a story of your own to share? We would love to hear it.  Send it to KenWant to share books with friends?
