Grateful? Pay it Forward

Louise writes: A few years ago, I met a young woman that had just gone through a terrible divorce. Her husband had become a meth addict, stole her money and she had to start all over financially. There where a number of women gathered together for dinner that heard her story and of course, we agreed that it was terrible. The young woman explained that she was trying to find a new job and she made the statement, “They may not like me there.” I spoke up and told her that she could have more control over this outcome if she started saying seven grateful things every day. The grateful things could be small or important, but the idea is to do this every day with the intention of feeling the gratitude that surrounds you. For instance, I’m grateful for my perfect health. I’m grateful for my wonderful, loving partner. I’m grateful that my bills and expenses are always paid. I’m grateful for that fantastic trip to the Grand Canyon that I took with the family 3 years ago. Grateful things can be from the present or the past. What happens is that these grateful thoughts can open the way for more of the same and help to clear away the negative ideas we carry. The book actually describes what your thoughts can do and how it works. I have read Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3 and I have given away a number of copies to all sorts of people.The book taught me about gratitude and how powerful it is. I know that when I am short on time, I will always start the day with the seven grateful things. It’s a very simple process and I thought it would be the perfect thing for her to start with. I put a question to her, “What would you change to make your life happier now?” I went on to say that next, she should take that idea and visualize it. Imagine it in a way where she can clearly see that is has happened. In the case of the job she was concerned about, she would imagine that she is in the office and firmly established in her new career. She went to work on her visualizations right away and I heard from her the very next day. She explained that the job application already on file there had been approved and she got the job! After working at that job for year, she decided to further her career by getting an advanced, two-year degree in her specialty. She called me and once again, we talked about how she created her past successes. Once again, she was worried about her prospects, but this time, I sent her the Manifesting 1,2,3 book and told her to use the simple visualizations along with the seven grateful things discussed there. I added to be sure and use both methods faithfully every day. There was another goal in her life, and that was to find her life partner. After that awful relationship in her past, she was reluctant to try again. I heard from her mom the other day and she gave me some good news. Her daughter was well established in the new job her degree provided and that she had also met someone! The mom thanked me and explained that with my help, she had really changed her daughter’s life. I will take credit for helping out and getting the book to her, but she did the work and Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 made it easy.

Favorite Stories from the 1st 6 Months of 2019

One of the best things about editing this newsletter is to receive your stories and meet the people behind them. Each one is personally important, inspirational, and I get to pass them on to you. Here are some of my favorites from the year so far. Get Manifesting 1,2,3 and you don’t need #3 and create the stories you desire! Ken   Romance “It wasn’t going to be easy. There were some tiffs and a lot of breakups. Overcoming doubt was difficult for me in this situation.” Bring Me the Deal of the Century! “Our 30th wedding anniversary was coming up, a Very Special Event and my husband and I decided on a trip to the Bahamas and to stay at a first-class resort. Once our two grown kids heard about it, they wanted to go as well but it would be way too expensive for pay for the four of us.” Prison, Prayer and Then the Miracles Found Me “My name is J. and going on 40 years ago, I went to prison for a very serious crime that resulted in a life sentence. I spent over half my life in there. I didn’t pray, I didn’t do anything in there for a long time. Then came a time in my life when I prayed to God for myself and my sister who was homeless. I wanted to help her and to get help myself. I had been in prison for well over 20 years and there were times when I lost hope but for the most part, I was continuing my prayers for a release and thinking of better days ahead.” I Dared to Dream Big. Could it Happen? “We started out with pretty humble beginnings. My wife and I didn’t have any family money or anything like that. We knew that everything we achieved had to come from our own resources. We always wanted to have a comfortable home with a significant piece of property for cattle and horses. I didn’t understand how that could ever happen, but it was our dream just the same. I Went Down, Down, Down and Then I Asked For Help This is a newsletter about Manifesting, but it is really about asking in any form. When we repetitively think of things, our thoughts begin to actually begin to build what we think, those ‘good’ or ‘bad’ thoughts. When we ask or pray, there are often results as well. It’s my feeling that there are always results, but we may be unable or unaware enough to see them. In this story from T., he was clearly shown that his prayers were heard. Bringing it All Together Before the Baby Arrives! “Have you ever been completely overwhelmed, trying to bring a lot of important, loose ends under control? Here’s an inspiring story that illustrates how manifesting can simply and powerfully create amazing results!” Manifesting the Perfect New Home and Move at the Perfect Time “A few months ago, I told Ken about how I manifested a new job but not the right job. Despite my frustration, we laughed a lot and he explained to me that when Manifesting I need to be SPECIFIC.” Where Do You Want to Go? Manifest It! Here is a classic story around a singular thought that was repeated and reinforced constantly. Does it sound easy or too good to be true? You would be correct, but that’s how manifesting works. Watch Your Words, Romance May Be Waiting! “One of the guys asked me, ”Do you think you will ever get married again?” “I don’t think so,” I said. If I do, I’m going to Minnesota and find my wife there.” Read on…   Go to the Interviews Page to see and hear Ken talking about Manifesting 123 and you don’t need #3. There is new information here and you won’t hear it anywhere else.

You’ve Got a Friend. Manifest Together!

Tina writes: This last Christmas Day I called my very good friend Cheryl in Southern California. She couldn’t talk at that moment and asked if we could talk in 15 minutes (it had been a month or so since we last talked.) When she called me back, I had already sat myself down to be undistracted for our conversation. She let me know that in October she had learned the breast cancer she had been treated for 1 ½ years ago had metastasized to her liver. It was stage 4 and inoperable. She said she had purposefully not told friends, family or her work about the cancer. I was devastated. The next day I called her and said I was coming to California to see her ASAP. She said to come in two weeks, that would be the best time, so I booked my flight right then. She also said that she and her husband were watching the series Heartland. For the next two weeks I hardly left my house and I binge-watched Heartland. I was in a funk. At the same time, I enlisted my other good friend in Arizona (also named Cheryl) to put California Cheryl on her prayer list. We envisioned a positive outcome and saw her bathed in health. During this time, I wouldn’t allow myself to think of the California Cheryl’s diagnosis. I flew to California to see here and my visit was exceptional. I was so grateful to have been able to go. Since the visit, California Cheryl had continued to get positive results from the chemo and her change in diet (no sugar.) Since April I had been practicing the song “You’ve Got a Friend” by Carole King for my voice class recital. When I practiced singing it, I sang to California Cheryl. On May 4th, California Cheryl called to tell me that her most recent cat scan showed NO CANCER!!! Just writing that gives me the chills. Tina Thank you, Tina for this remarkable story!! Our intentions matter and our repetitive thoughts create form. To that thought simply add a positive emotion like gratitude or lovingly sing out loud if you like. The added emotion will amplify your thought and more efficiently create the outcome you require. Keep in mind that when two people are manifesting the same goal, it is even more powerful. Ken   Get Manifesting 1,2, 3 and you don’t need #3 and quickly learn how your thoughts create in real-time. This is amazing information. Make it work for you!

I Bottomed Out but I Rejected Negativity. Would Patience and Gratitude Work?

Liza writes: At our lowest points we need a different word for low. Every single thing that I had valued in my heart, physical and emotional, had been completely zeroed out from my heart. It had been wiped clean. I had lost my husband and I was about to be evicted from my home, widowed with no place to go. I was not well and couldn’t work at the time, so I had no income and no prospects. I knew about manifesting with vision boards and lists, but I didn’t have the energy to do anything except sit on the porch and continue to know it would be OK. Whatever had brought me to this point would get me to the next place and that it would be special. I absolutely knew in the depths of me that something would happen but I had no idea of the what or how, but I knew I would be OK. I would allow help and not succumb to negativity. The next day, that’s right, the next day, a friend that I had not heard from in several years called me. I was shocked to hear from her. She said, “I’m so happy to find you. Are you still doing artwork?” I was glazed and confused but I managed to say, “Oh yeah, of course I am.” She told me she had massive water damage in her home recently. She told me that the whole lower part of her house and many of the commissioned artworks I had completed years before were damaged. She asked if I would come up tomorrow and take a look at everything. Arriving the next day, I caught her up on my difficulties and she asked, “So where are you going to go?” I said, “I have no idea,” and she told me I could stay with her. This a mega, multimillion-dollar home with I don’t even know how many square feet. Every inch is immaculately designed and beautiful, a paradise. At the time, my soul was stripped down but I had just been offered a glorious place to live that was full of the art that I loved and we created together 15 years before. There were murals on the walls, ceilings and works on canvas from a peak creative time. It would be like a homecoming, so I said yes to her kind offer! I would have a safe place to stay. I had been rescued by an angel. The owner outlined a lot of work for me to do, repairing my wall murals and making new ones. It was going to take months and she wanted me to stay in her home the entire time while I worked on all of those projects. She provided home, shelter and food for me. She would ask me if I would do small errands for her like going to the grocery so I didn’t have the chance to completely collapse in on myself. In October of that year, I got a call informing me that my daughter was in hospice and that I was needed in North Carolina. My daughter had been sick off and on for over a decade but in the last year she had been critically sick. This was going to be hard for us after all the times she had rallied before and carried on. Three very dear friends saw to it that I had an airplane ticket and within three days I was there in hospice with her. She passed a few weeks later, leaving me unmoored once again. I flew back to the same environment that thankfully offered me unconditional space to grieve, to work on the art projects, or whatever I needed to do at the time. There were always small things to keep me busy and to keep my mind going. Because of her understanding and grace, I wasn’t on a deadline, I was completely cared for and allowed to heal. Sometime later, I made the acquaintance of someone that helped to bring me out of my depths. It was like what happens to a drowning person that is given CPR and on their revival, they take that first breath, choosing to live. I began to do artworks for a gallery and larger mural commissions started coming in. I realized that earlier, I couldn’t visualize a future or ask or pray for solutions. Before, I didn’t have the ability to conceptualize anything, but not anymore. I began to imagine that I could find my next place to live and be able to support myself. All of that came to pass as well, but that’s another story! Throughout all of this, I kept going back to what it is that created me. The power that innately holds the cells in my body together, Source. It’s my feeling that I am one with source or God but it is God that does the work. My role is to do my best, reject negativity and be continually open and grateful. When I was in need, synchronicity kicked in at an extraordinary pace. My needs were food, shelter, compassion and a way to support myself. It was always provided, sometimes in the most amazing ways. I was always excepting it to be so and no matter what, I was always grateful.  Grateful, grateful, grateful!

Manifesting for Others: Got it Fixed in Five Days (reprise story)

Last Sunday, my mom and I were on the way to the theater and the “check engine” light came on in her car. She became very agitated and stressed because she loves the freedom of the open road and suddenly no longer felt safe driving her car. I suggested that we start manifesting a solution. However, she was really too stressed to hear me and simply couldn’t focus on manifesting or anything else other than getting home and parking her car in the garage. So I quietly started to run a “movie” about her car being fixed for an “affordable and reasonable price” by someone reliable so that she would once again feel safe in her car. On Monday morning I called her and asked what the game plan was for the car. She said she was working on some options. Once again, I quietly ran the “movie”. On Tuesday afternoon, I asked her what options she had thought of. She had made a list of garages that she was going to call for estimates. I suggested that she should also call the dealership just for a price comparison. As I hung up the phone, I again ran the “movie”. On Wednesday when I talked to her, she had called 3 garages and the dealership. Surprisingly, the dealership had the best prices and she had booked an appointment for the next morning. As I fell asleep, I ran the “movie” – twice this time just to supercharge it! Bright and early Thursday morning she had her appointment at the dealership. About 2pm, I received a text message from mom saying that the mechanic had run a complete diagnostic and couldn’t find anything wrong. He reset the onboard computer and the “check engine” light went off. The mechanic also gave her a short list of items that should be checked in the next few months, but nothing that would stop her from driving safely in her car. As she went to check out with the cashier, they washed and vacuumed her car. When she asked the cashier how much she owed, the cashier told her that the diagnostic fee had been waived and she didn’t owe anything … not one cent!!! How is that for an “affordable and reasonable price”?!  LOL!!  Thank you, thank you for teaching me how to run the “movie”!!  😀 With enormous gratitude and appreciation, Sandi Can you have influence beyond yourself? Yes you can. In manifesting anything is possible if you can think it…and here comes the qualifier. You can certainly help yourself but when it comes to directly helping others, your intentions are often less effective. Those that are close to us are within their own walk in life, with the everyday ups and downs for their individual lives. You can’t simply step in and run their 100 yard dash or take their calculus exam. These challenges for for them to learn. The good news is that you can have influence in the field around yourself and others as well. I can’t know with certainty, but perhaps the engine repair wasn’t mom’s ‘test,’ it was an everyday problem waiting for a solution. The happy result could have been just one of those nice events that come along or perhaps Sandi had some influence in mom’s field. It’s an encouraging story and as someone said to me after a manifesting success of my own, “Now do you see what you can do?” Sandi, don’t stop now!

Prison, Prayer and Then the Miracles Found Me

Gary is a good friend, someone I have known for years and it was Gary who introduced me to J. and told me a bit about him.The two of them recently came out to do some work around my home . When I heard J’s story, I asked him if he would share it with you. Once J. began to speak, it became very difficult for him to relive parts of his experience. He is sharing now to give us hope and to offer an example of what prayer can do. Ask. We are all worthy regardless of how we may think of ourselves.  Ask for all manner of things with prayer and create by manifesting. First, you begin by asking. Thank you, J. and Gary for bringing this story to us all.  Ken My name is J. and going on 40 years ago, I went to prison for a very serious crime that resulted in a life sentence. I spent over half my life in there. I didn’t pray, I didn’t do anything in there for a long time. Then came a time in my life when I prayed to God for myself and my sister who was homeless. I wanted to help her and to get help myself. I had been in prison for well over 20 years and there were times when I lost hope but for the most part, I was continuing my prayers for a release and thinking of better days ahead. One day my sister hitchhiked to the prison to see me. She was homeless at the time and it took a lot of effort to make that trip. When she was on the road hitchhiking back, a couple driving by pulled over to pick her up. They took the time to talk to her and then they decided not only to drive her back, but to pitch in and really help her. They stayed close to her and  got her back on her feet. They helped her find a place to live and how to use her social security and other programs to get by financially and have a better life. The three of them became good friends and they continued to help her get the things she needed. While still in prison, I helped her as well, whenever I could. Sometime later, my sister told them my story and how I was hoping for parole. The husband was a lawyer in a big city firm and he went to work on my case without charge. The system is a nightmare and it took a long time for to move my case forward. The husband was there for my parole hearings and after years of effort, God and that kind couple got me out of prison for good. Once I was released, it was through that same couple that I next met Gary – he is a good man that did occasional work for the couple. Gary is always busy doing home repairs and needed another person he could trust to help him with his business. Gary trusted me and gave me the chance I needed  and just in time. I’m doing all right now. I have a car and driver’s license, a good place to live, and I have a more positive outlook on life. I thank God every day. I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for God, my answered prayers and the efforts and trust of kind strangers. I am amazed at how it all turned around, impossible as it seemed and I am grateful. J.

I Dared to Dream Big. Could it Happen?

I like what E. said at the bottom of his story,  “There’s this saying, if you are happy or not, you are right.” Thank you for sharing your wish come true. Ken E. writes: We started out with pretty humble beginnings.My wife and I didn’t have any family money or anything like that. We knew that everything we achieved had to come from our own resources. We always wanted to have a comfortable home with a significant piece of property for cattle and horses. I didn’t understand how that could ever happen, but it was our dream just the same. We did get a modest home out in the country with some acreage, nothing over the top, but comfortable for my wife, me and our six kids and that took care of all our needs. We had a little ranch with some cows and horses and we could take care of their needs too. After happily living there for a time, we learned that the property owner next door sold a 160 acre piece to residential housing developers. Once those houses were built, we started fielding complaints that our cows and calves made too much noise. The city had apparently moved to us and it was time to move on ourselves. I am self-employed in the stucco business with two employees, not a foundation for a financial empire.I knew about manifesting and it got me to thinking that perhaps this would be worth a try. My stucco business is mostly urban work, so I didn’t want to be too far away from my business. Of course, the closer in you are to the city, the more expensive it is – a tricky balance. My wife and I talked about what we wished for a new place and put together a pretty clear idea of what could work best for us. At some point I physically wrote all down. I didn’t specify an exact amount of acreage, but it was substantial. We wanted the freedom to do what we wanted on a small ranch without the restrictions of neighbors living on top of us. This was our long-term, lifetime plan. It was 2008 and the market was at the bottom but we put our place up for sale.To our surprise, we had three showings in two days without any information about what people are interested. Shortly after, we were out cleaning stalls on a Sunday afternoon and this couple pulled in a rental car. They told us who they were and said, “You know, we’re not supposed to be here without a realtor but we’ve looked at your house three times in the last two days and we love it. They made an offer to buy it, no inspections, no objections and at full price! The only catch was, they were moving from South Carolina and wanted to take occupancy in 27 days! We would have to move out all the stuff for eight people and the cows, horses with all of that associated equipment as well. The offer was amazing and we took it. Now to find where we would go next. My wife and I got in the truck and started driving around out East, a direction we rarely travelled. Just eight miles out, we came across this old farmhouse that not been lived in for a long time with broken up windows and overgrown trees actually growing into the open windows of the house. Laying on the ground was a real estate sign. We got the number from it and called the agent. He didn’t want to represent the property anymore and gave us the direct number of the owner. After a chat, the owner told us it passed to family members after their mom and dad passed away. He gave me a price that was way too rich for us and I told him so.The owner asked me for a counter and I told him I would get back to him. The owner also explained to me that the property would go into foreclosure in 45 days and that back taxes were owed on it. I called a realtor friend of mine and he recommended that I offer 33 cents on the dollar, close it privately without a realtor and pay the back taxes. It would be an amount we could afford. I called back with my offer and after consulting with the other family members / owners, they agreed to the deal. The house needed more work than I thought, nine months worth, but we got it done somehow. We can’t imagine living anywhere else. When you walk into our place, it is Home. From a financial perspective, there’s no way in the world we should be living in that good home on a that special piece of property.Did I tell you it is 1600 acres? That’s a sizeable amount of land. The kids regularly have conversations with my wife and I about when we are all older, who’s moving in and who’s taking over and how to split this up so they can each build a house on the property. Looking back at the whole picture, it goes back to getting this idea in my head, talking about it with my wife and putting it into a written note. Over the years I thought about this house and farm but kept it as a big picture idea, without too much detail. Also, I didn’t try to figure out how it could happen financially, that is, I didn’t rule it out, get in the way, and I think it kept the dream alive. There’s this saying, if you are happy or not, you are right.If you are a negative person all the time then you know what? You’re right. If you think you’re going to succeed or fail you’re right, it just depends on what you’re thinking.  if you know what you desire and are willing to work for it, dream and plan for it, you will wake

Bringing it All Together Before the Baby Arrives!

Have you ever been completely overwhelmed, trying to bring a lot of important, loose ends under control? Here’s an inspiring story that illustrates how manifesting can simply and powerfully create amazing results! Ken S. writes: My mom and I are aware of how our thoughts can manifest outcomes and together we recently supported each other while creating some very big outcomes. I was simply visualizing what I desired, kept the details broad and simple without too much detail. It was natural to have doubts, but I kept them to a minimum and continued to focus and work toward my goals. Mom was a big part with her ideas and support. We’ve both realized how manifesting has made an enormous difference in our lives, and for me, it’s changed my family’s entire life, and my mom’s in the last year. Here’s what happened. I found out I was pregnant in November of 2017 and my husband K. and I were stuck (so we thought) in Massachusetts, 2000 miles away from home and from my Mom, who desperately wanted to guide me through my pregnancy and my baby’s first few months. K. and I had moved to the East coast a few years before and we were struggling to see our way back to Colorado even before I got pregnant, but that put us on a pretty short timeline! Keith frantically applied for jobs, hoping something would come up, while I did my best to remain relaxed and focused instead on what I wanted my baby’s future to look like. I was manifesting our future every day. Massachusetts is great, but there’s no place like home to raise a baby! I began to imagine our house in Colorado: living close enough to drive to my Mom’s house for Sunday dinners and hectic Thanksgiving mornings, cozy and big enough for a growing family, somewhere we could see ourselves for decades to come. I imagined K’s fancy new job where he could really shine! I spent hours thinking about all the places I wanted to bring my child to: The Sand Dunes, Mesa Verde, Castlewood Canyon — all places that would be so much harder to visit from Massachusetts! Everything was so uncertain; I was blessed with a relatively easy pregnancy, but as time went on and things got more and more difficult for me to do. We started getting pretty nervous about how we’d get back before this baby came out! Finally, K. heard back from his (future) employer about a job he never even applied for! He was given an offer without even an in-person interview, and just in time! It was the end of March, halfway through my pregnancy, and we still had to get a new car for the cross-country trip, get our house ready to put on the market, sell our house and find a new place to live when we arrived in Colorado, as well as have a baby, whose sex we didn’t even know! It was almost too much, but something within me trusted that everything would be okay, that everything would work out. Not exactly how I expected, of course! But those little details didn’t bother me at all, I had way bigger fish to fry! A little over a year ago, on May 1st, about two months before my son was born, we arrived on my mom’s doorstep, awaiting our new adventure. We did it!! A couple of weeks after that, we found our new house. It was 15 minutes away from my mom, 4 bedrooms for our budding new family and we got the keys on July 1st, the day after my son was born, in the very same hospital I volunteered at in high school! It really seemed like everything came together perfectly, and as stressful as it was, it seems now like there was no other way it could have happened. It wasn’t an easy ride, and there were definitely days I cried and worried, thinking there was no way it would work out, but trusting in the process is what got Keith, Max and I here safely and happily, and it has never let us down! Thank you so much, again, for all your help and we look forward to seeing where our manifesting will bring us in the future! Sincerely, S.

Manifesting the Perfect New Home and Move at the Perfect Time

Life can be complicated, so it is always nice to hear how people use manifesting and gratitude to cut through the complexities and create perfect solutions. Thank you, V. for your story. Ken V. writes: A few months ago, I told Ken about how I manifested a new job but not the right job. Despite my frustration, we laughed a lot and he explained to me that when Manifesting I need to be SPECIFIC. Later when my husband and I decided to purchase a new home, I knew I had to get it right this time! My husband also believes in the principle of Gratitude and Manifesting and we decided that finding our new home would require double power. We knew that this time we had to be SPECIFIC about what we wanted and that finding a home in our price range would be very challenging. Not only that, but the real estate market is always HOT here and usually requires that multiple bids are accepted before a house is sold. In addition, we had to really decide what our priorities were and narrow down what we were looking for.We both wanted to be closer to the ocean, 30 minutes or less from my husband’s office and be close to hiking and biking. There were several areas like this but we needed to even be more specific. So, we narrowed down our search to two neighborhoods and then focused on the price range and house amenities. We had already had some bad experiences with local realtors who wanted to trap us into a buyer’s agreement or kept sending us homes that were way beyond our price limit.On homes that were in our price range they always told us about it the day the bids were due and they would quickly sell out from under us. It became frustrating. So, we realized that not only did we need to find the perfect home in our ideal neighborhood, but we also needed to manifest working the perfect realtor. It all came together and we found a wonderful agent who not only grew up in our targeted area, but he also knew about each and every house we were interested in. He really helped us navigate the area thoroughly and quickly. He didn’t even ask us to sign a buyer’s agreement. It also became clear that we needed to focus on the timing between our present lease being up, a window to to find our new home and abundant time move in before summer. Our combined manifesting worked because we brought our mental resources together so that the universe knew exactly what we wanted and where.Guess what? We even got the house for less than the listed price! The inspections were perfect too. We didn’t even have to worry about multiple bids because the mad rush of buyers occurred two weeks prior and while there was plenty of inventory left, the bidding activity suddenly halted. It was as if the Universe opened a time bridge for us. In addition, we get to move in late spring which gives us time to get settled before the summer. One of the important things Ken taught me was to say, “My time is perfectly synchronized.” While I had been using this in other manifestations, is was critical that we had our own perfect timing. Now I have something else to be grateful for! V.
