Take Your Good Song and Make it Better
It is great fun hearing your marvelous stories and talking about Manifesting 123 to people everywhere. They tell me it is the simplest manifesting book they have ever read. Anyone can do this (they do) and have been happily successful (lots of that.) It is just too easy and for some, that creates a problem. We are raised to think that much has to be put in place to make good things happen. We must be Worthy. We must be very adept at creating and work very hard. We are not good about asking, meditating or praying for things, so we won’t have a good result. These are all common blocks and they do as described – they get in the way of manifesting your desires. Manifesting is far to simple to let this happen. So here’s some help.Every day, do the Manifesting 123 process. It doesn’t take a lot of time and guess what? It works if you believe it or not. Your thoughts begin to create immediately. So #1, go to your future and imagine that you are already are enjoying the life you choose. It has already happened in your future. Forget any complications or some series of events that have to play out first. You are in your own personal Movie in the future, looking around and enjoying the ride. Your thoughts are creating what you see, hear, smell, etc. So in your Movie, use a lot of your senses to make your thoughts even stronger. It’s all in the book in great detail or listen to my radio interviews here.Here’s a great tip from Anna Marie. She was having difficulty staying on track with all the scenes in her Movie. I have over a dozen myself and I have the same experience. My mind wanders, I forget some of the scenes, I fall asleep – you name it and we all do it. Don’t worry because your thoughts will gradually build all that is in your movie. Some days you will experience your future better than others, it’s OK and perfectly natural. This is a day after day process and not dependent on how you did last Thursday.Anna Marie wanted to get the maximum from her movie efficiently so she came up with this nice piece of orginization. She records all of the scenes in her Movie to her smart phone or small recorder. Great! So now she plays back the audio script of her movie and never misses a scene. It’s not necessary to manifesting, you can just as easily work from your memory or a list but it’s a great prompt. Also, a recording allows you to keep your eyes closed as you continue through your future scenes.Let’s go for more. Your thoughts and intentions build your target idea day by day. As you add more layers of intention, the closer you get to making your idea manifest. You want to cover all the bases every day for the best result. OK so far. So make a recording with all of the scenes in your movie. You have a couple of choices: an audio with the full detail of each scene or a recorded list of the scenes in your Movie..Since you want the strongest intention by whatever means, use your voice, talk to your recording. Why? Your voice is another layer of intention and very powerful. If you choose to record your movie in full detail, then jump in and cheerlead what is happening.Yell back at the recording: “I LOVE my career” “I’ve never been so happy. Yesss!” “This is the best trip ever and I didn’t have to worry about the money. I so beautiful here!”Remember that after each scene you’re So Grateful.You get the idea. What you’re doing is loading up each scene with your grateful emotions. When you are in the scene cheering and screaming along, the entire process is amplified in a very good way. At the end of each scene, mention again how grateful you are. You are! Another way to use this audio is to simply make a list of each scene. It’s like audio bullet points. You hear the scene description but you add the details. Just listen to the name of the scene come up and then pause the audio. Now you can go through each scene in your mind and never miss a single one. Don’t forget, you also have the option to verbalize all you want. When your recording prompts the vacation scene. Hit pause, begin visualizing yourself on that vacation and shout out something like “I just love my future here.” “Wow, I’m in Paris!!!” Do it again when you hear the name of the next Really Good Future you are going to create.This is very important. Avoid the trap of letting the recording do the work. Just listening to your recording is not enough. Only you can experience and emotionally load each scene. Take the time to be in your future – touch it, feel the air and drink the expresso at the sidewalk cafe. Don’t let this audio method become rote and boring. We have all listlessly endured some repetitive service or business meeting. Don’t let your recording become that. It is a great tool and a way prompt all of your lovely futures. It works for Anna Marie, so, what are you waiting for? Your future is waiting for you to create it. Most of us do the Manifesting 123 without an audio prompt, so you don’t have to go out of your way. Just sayin.’ On the Horizon:Coming up soon are some very good Manifesting 123 stories: a critical lost and found object, romances and a most unusual business strategy.I’m excited to announce that very soon, the Manifesting 123 audio book will be released. I’ve done the recordings and the audio book is now in the final edits. I’ll let you know when it’s ready to go!For the many of you that are new here, thank you. Please take a look at the Manifesting 123 story archive. The stories you generously sent in are amazing. Help yourself to a big dose of encouragement.Make a delightful wave – pass this onto your friends, support each
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?

The List: Your Amazing 2013 and More for 2014!
What a year! I’ve been looking over the stories sent in by readers of Manifesting 123 and I am profoundly moved. No one wrote in to say how difficult it was to do the recommendations in the book. In fact, the majority said is was very simple, the easiest they had ever encountered. Now you KNOW that your thoughts begin to form up as soon as you think of them. You don’t have to be talented or do it exactly as the book recommends. You just start and stay with it. We are not in the hoping and waiting business anymore. Manifest your desires, point yourself where you want to go and just begin. The more you continue your good intentions, the sooner they will flow into your life. Make a resolution to use the Manifesting 123 techniques not for just this year, but every day forward. After what so many of us have experienced, we are absolutely using this knowledge to our best advantage. Here are just a few of the stories from this year as examples. A number of individuals and business people were very happy with not only increased business, but in some cases, windfalls. Yes, money was involved but also the equivalent of money: difficult loans were obtained, better rent and mortgage amounts were obtained. Those reduced rates are like cash discounts. Financial problems can be solved in improbable ways, so don’t limit the outcome by specifying dollar amounts. OK, so back to the windfalls cause we love ’em. Remember the woman that received $10,000? The very next week, another reader saw that story and requested the same to refinance her home. Within 4 hours she manifested the same amount! Truly amazing. In another story, a new computer materialized just in time for someone self-employed. A reader finally was awarded a generous settlement – she had all but given up on seeing it come to fruition. I really liked the quick manifesting response from two different travelers at the airport. They were flying back from a Kansas City conference where I presented. They had big problems with their return flights. One could not find her driver’s license and the other had misplaced her passport. Each did the Manifesting 123 they had just learned and amazingly, their documents were found and brought to them before their separate departures. That is very timely work! Another reader had decided to move to Colorado but lacked the funds to make it happen. She manifested the funds in a way she never expected. While driving through Las Vegas on a business stop-over, she won $5000. in minutes. She rarely gambles, so it was quite the surprise, but just what she needed to finance her move right away and start a new career. A very successful one from scratch, by the way. Someone improved their existing career by simply getting better work hours and a very hard to get raise on top. How about getting out of a military service contract early and on perfect terms? It happened! In another case, a person was laid off her job, but it came with all the compensation breaks she needed. Now she is free of the job she didn’t enjoy and already getting work in an area she is delighted with. There have been three dream homes manifested, three perfect cars, new romantic parters, and one lovely wedding! Oh yes, and there were two divorces that were seemingly Heaven sent. (Nothing being advocated here.) So what’s harder to find – a new home or a good man? Don’t answer that question! That’s a good laugh, but there is no difference. Miracles large and small are just the same, thank goodness. Something that many of us have found very beneficial has been manifesting greater efficiency in all our endeavors, including personal time. It is easy to get overwhelmed but don’t forget, if there is something in your face, you can manifest an elegant solution. Think of manifesting as your Swiss Army knife. You have a tool to use on anything. Simply imagine that this problem doesn’t exist in your future and that your are very grateful. Need help with the farm in Canada? Manifest the ideal solutions for big crops and greenhouse equipment at give-away prices. Employers have quickly solved paperwork, efficiency and staffing problems, increased revenues and hopefully got themselves more personal time as well. ( I’m hammering away on that one this year.) There are many more events unfolding with you all and more yet undreamed of. I looking forward to more of your great stories to share. Go for the perfect solutions, careers, and partners. Don’t be too specific unless that is what you want. Otherwise, perfect is good. Manifesting takes many forms. Asking works. Of course it does, so ask without hesitation. Sure, do the 123 in the book. It’s the go-to manifesting manual with the new material – the Real Secret. But now you know how powerful your intentions and thoughts truly are. Without any special skills, you can do this as well as anyone else, so pass the word. Take note of the incredible miracles in people’s lives. Sometimes you will hear individuals simply asked in some form. I really enjoy including those stories in this newsletter as well. It isn’t always the result of what was read in a helpful book somewhere, prayers and simple intentions really work too! All of these stories from the last few months are to encourage you to try, to ask for yourself. Just for you. Yes, ask away and do for others, but take care for yourself as well. As you obtain abundance, share. Where do you want to go? What do you desire? Point yourself to happiness this year. Join the surprised and delighted readers that shared their good stories. I was just for you. Oh and the bonus: remember to think of seven grateful things every day. Happiness results. Happy New Year and make it the one you choose! Ken Do you have a story
The Groom’s Amazing Manifestations and One More Lovely Story
First a disclaimer. Sometimes things are just too good to be true. We have plenty of ups and downs in our lives and see plenty of bad news in the media everyday. There is plenty of good news to go around each day, but for whatever reason it doesn’t reach us as often. So to finish out 2013, here are some great stories. I know Emily and Ted. They have manifested some amazing things this year, some of which they have shared with us here. Emily writes: This week my husband Ted came home from a shopping expedition with this story. Ted recognizes that manifesting can happen in a variety of ways. Our passport saga this summer was quite an eye opener for him, and ever since we have been aware of what our thoughts can manifest. There are three parts to this story and each one is amazing in it’s own way. All of these things happened within a three-week period. Ted has been sharing this story with everyone. When I heard it I felt so happy for this guy it was almost like it was happening to me. I know the family, but Ted knows them best. All in the family are shining folk with nothing but love on their faces. You never hear a discouraging word from them. One of the family members is a young man about to be married. This is his story. He wanted very much to give his bride the wedding of her dreams. She was someone that had always wanted a big wedding with all the trimmings and she has a large family with many friends. He decided to enter a contest to get for her exactly what she wished for. He did not have to wait long. He was overjoyed when he got the phone call telling him he was the winner of the contest! It would provide them with the dream wedding they had hoped for. This young man was a big dreamer as Ken advises all of us to become. He really wanted the best for himself and his new bride. Not merely a dream wedding but the best he could provide for her AFTER the dream wedding too! So what did he do? He wasn’t content to simply rest on his laurels, so he entered another contest to win even more money. The very next week, he learned he was the chosen winner of ten thousand dollars! Well, he thought, I’m on a roll, I think I will go out and purchase a lottery ticket. Here’s the big pause… He didn’t win the lottery. BUT, he got enough correct numbers to win one hundred thousand dollars! This young man, to the best of my knowledge has not read the book, or any book about manifesting. What he had going for him, as it was told to me, is that he has a huge heart. He is very kind and generous to all his friends, dear ones and nothing but the best will be good enough for the one closest to his heart. As Ken related it from Judy Goodman in his book, when you are sending a gift from the heart, it always arrives. One More Lovely Story Emily continues: There is another miracle for Xmas in our own family. Our daughter has been wanting a child for several years. Her older brother has 3 and most of her friends have two or more. Recently, she went to a clinic where they told her after several tests that at thirty-seven with her below average results, it would take her six or seven attempts and she would likely not be successful. I decided to try a healer who said he could assist, Jerry Wills. I read a book about him where a Peruvian shaman prophesied him to be as an angel who has come to heal all our hurts. On his web site I saw many testimonials, including one where he helped a person who was about to be taken off life support, written off by the medical profession. Jerry brought him back to health and the man suffered no lasting effects from his almost terminal injuries. I contacted Jerry and asked him a quick question, “Can you readjust infertility?” He answered just as quickly, “Yes.” Once he finished his efforts with my daughter, he said, “You will be able to conceive on the first try,” and indeed, she did. Somehow we found a way to a solution after years of trial and asking in a number of ways. Her success and the baby to be are our Christmas miracle. Best wishes, Emily and Ted That is a lot to consider. Thank you Emily and Ted for graciously sharing both of those encouraging stories. We are empowered to create. Everything around you was thought first. Your thoughts can create anything and they do. It is up to you use them to your advantage. This is not a trying or going-to exercise. Just begin, move forward and put your birth-right, your thoughts to work for you. Now is faster than later! As I explain in the book and in my radio interviews, all of your prayers, wishes, lists, and vision boards are layers upon layers of thought. Each of your intentions, in whatever form, start to create the very thing in the unseen field around you. This is a revelation. Know that all your intentions are essentially making a mold and filling it. Once this process is complete, your creation will move into your place in the physical world. This is not hoping and waiting, but a process of creating your desire every day until it is done. It sounds to good to be true as well, but it is a natural law and everyone can do it. You can learn about it in my book or listen to the interviews – people say they have never heard it more simply or powerfully explained. Pray, wish or ask from your heart, but take
What Was Manifested and a Joke by an Ex-President
What a year it has been! I’ve taken the time to look back at what has been manifested out of thin air, and I am very grateful.So much has happened but I’ll use the the Manifesting 123 book as an example. For two years I talked about writing this book. Every day I had been talking about Manifesting to someone, sometimes many times a day. People would then say, “You need to write a book about this.” “Of course I will. I’m working on it now,” I would say. But actually I was goona, shouda, kinda working on it in my head but nothing was put to paper. At the time, I was doing the techniques in the book but there wasn’t enough time in the day to sit down and write a book. Heck, I had never written a book before, so I had ample reasons not to even start. Then I had an idea. Part of the Manifesting technique is to imagine you are in your future and that all is well, so to speak. Hmmmm… so I imagined that in my future, my time is perfectly synchronized between what I’m here to do, my careers, relationships and I added own personal time. It didn’t take long. Within a few weeks I realized that I was getting to bed earlier an playing solitaire on my iPad. I LOVE that solitaire and it had been a year since I had that kind of play time. Then it hit me. I had a been enjoying a LOT more personal time recently. Heck, I could use this extra time to write the Manifesting book. The book wrote itself. I dictated it into the computer and immediatelly a close friend recommended everything I needed from an editor to printer. Suddenly the book was complete and physically in my hands within 4-5 weeks! Manifesting is now an everyday event for me and many others who have read the book. We commonly create good things for ourselves, live happier and with much less worry than ever before. Take a look at the stories that have resulted on the Manifesting 123 stories page, pass them on and make your own. You may want to take a little time to hear the one-hour radio interview I did today with Kathy Bacon today. It explains how simply the Manifesting 123 techniques are. No special skills are required so anyone can be good at this – and they are! A Holiday Story Years ago, I watched Jimmy Carter tell this joke on the Jay Leno show. Thank you President Carter!So a man dies and goes to Heaven. St. Peter is standing in front of the Pearly Gates with a question for the man. “What have you done for your fellow man?””This is hard” the man replies. “Give me a sec. OK, I remember. A couple of years ago, I went to my closet and put on my favorite shirt, but it didn’t fit, so I gave it to Goodwill.” “Really,” St. Peter said, Did you get a receipt?” “I did.” the man said proudly. “So what did they say the shirt was worth?” “50 cents.” St. Peter raised his eyebrows then paused and asked, “So is there anything else?” “This is really difficult.” the man replied. “I need time. Hang on, um… yes! I remember, it was last Christmas eve and I was walking down the street at night. There was a man begging for money. I went right past him and thought, it’s Christmas, so I came all the way back, it must have been a block and I gave him money. “So what did you give him?” St. Peter asked. “50 cents!” said the man. St. Peter turned to the angel next to him and said, “Give him his dollar back and tell him to go to Hell!” OK, most of us could use a bit more compassion for others in need, but I also want to gently remind you to be more generous to yourself as well. I meet so many people that are always asking for others and not for themselves. You wouldn’t be stingy with others, so don’t be a Scrooge with yourself. Besides, the more you have, the more you will be inclined to share. That is the nature of your kind heart. Perhaps that would make a nice resolution for your very special New Year.Most Sincerely, KenDo you have a story of your own to share? Send it to Ken
A Santa Secret for You and a Miraculous Story
click to view the Santa video on YouTube Funny, I had been wanting to get my picture taken with Santa this year and it had been over 50 years since the last one. I was thinking about just how to do it. I could go to the Mall, but I wouldn’t. The Santa photo just kept coming up. It was a thought and a wish of sorts, but not something I was really working on. Within a week I found out that a Santa would be where I get my hair cut. I was all in! So last Saturday I want to see the owner Paul and got my photo taken with Santa. What fun!As it so often happens, I got much more than I bargained for. Santa was Dr. Mike Rudnick, a delightful man. Since we had time to chat, he told me a Santa secret, VERY cool and I asked him what he wanted. He was much surprised, since that is usually his role. He said that no one had ever asked Santa that question before. We had a great time and yes, I did get my picture taken and Santa got a Manifesting 123 book so polish up his wishes with. It was all great fun and I’d recommend meeting up with Santa much sooner than every 50 years or so.Santa told me a wonderful story. It’s about a very young girl in Juarez, Mexico that was very sick. Many prayers were offered for this little girl and there was a marvelous result. Dr. Rudnick and his wife are a part of a church group that goes to Juarez in the summers, volunteering services to those in need there. As he mentions in the video, “It is different there.” This young girl was threatened my an illness that would not be fatal in the US and she could easily get treatment in a US hospital. Unfortunately, access to the proper drug or a Juarez hospital were possible and this little girl had precious little time to live when Dr. Rudnick saw her.Santa tells the story in his 6.5 minute video here. Remember, Santa has a cool secret to share!Thank you, Santa for allowing me to film and pass on your story. Thank you as well Paul, owner of the Spellbound Salon for fixing me up with Santa. Sweet! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! It just occurred to me that not only have I had a wonderful year, but somehow manifested Santa himself. Hmmm… look at what we can do!Thank you all for your support of this little big Manifesting book, your stories, and for passing the word on to your friends. Good things have happened, lives have been changed and joy is in the air. I wish that all your beautiful dreams, prayers, wishes and intentions come true with sugar plums on top!Most sincerely, KenDo you have a story of your own to share? Send it to Ken
Work Crisis! Manifesting the Perfect Person
by Andrea Chilcote The following post appeared originally on The Spirited Woman where Andrea is a weekly blogger. I often write about “ease,” and the preponderance of everyday miracles. And I have written many times of the power that managing our thoughts and feelings has on the outcomes we achieve. I strive to walk my talk, and on some days I’m more successful at doing so than on others. Putting forth the effort and energy to maintain the resonance of what we desire, vs. dwelling on what appears to be a negative circumstance takes focus – and faith. Here’s a short story for illustration. I own and operate a very small business. A few weeks ago, an employee of 15 years resigned to pursue an offer that utilizes her many years of experience, and at the same time allows her to do new things in an area that is important in her life. I was and am truly happy for her, and yet my first thought was a very emphatic “Yikes!” Her work here is mission critical, and we are (as is true most of the time) in the middle of a critical project. And the role requires a unique skill set. On the morning she gave notice three weeks ago, I was immediately aware that I had a choice. I could allow myself to feel stress, and thus create a stressful condition. Or I could view the situation as one more opportunity to see and seek the opening door vs. dwell on the one that was closing. I chose the former. Armed with a positive vision, I went into motion. I sent a brief description of the role to several trusted friends, and began making a plan for transition activities. Even though I was busy without this added task, time seemed to expand to allow for it all. As I write this post, I sit across the room from my new employee who is spending her first day with me. She was the first to inquire about the job, and the only person I interviewed. Seemingly out of nowhere, the apparent perfect person materialized. Since the day she magically appeared, I have had moments in which I’ve second guessed the synchronicity. But I’ve managed to banish those thoughts as my very real due diligence (interviews, references and skill assessments) has proven, once again, that it doesn’t have to be hard to be right. If there is a burden you bear at this moment, you know intellectually that your thoughts and feelings about it are conspiring to determine the outcome. Shifting the energy that you carry requires discipline. It also requires faith. Faith is the burden-carrier, releasing the mind from over-analysis and fueling the effort required to take right action. Let it go, and watch what happens next. We are all creating with our thoughts all the time. Point yourself to the outcomes you want! Monica Demattei is the new employee described in the story and her boss, Andrea wanted to share it with you. Thank you both! About that Faith. It is not absolutely necessary, but it doesn’t hurt. Andrea made her plan with a positive vision. Positive is good also but the vision is prime. Make your vision a good one and even better, visualize it in your future. That’s the #1 of Manifesting 123. Have you ever noticed that sometimes your manifestations happen so quickly there wasn’t time to even consider faith or positive thinking? This newsletter is full of amazing outcomes and some happen very fast. View the story archives. Your thoughts can create the the future you desire, so go for it! Don’t trip up on your worthiness, or your faith and positive thinking score. Do the 123 in the book or listen to one of my recent radio interviews where I give you the details. Make your list and check it twice! KenOh… those are not Monica’s pants. 🙂 Do you have a story of your own to share? Send it to Ken
Manifest the Shortcut at Work
I had a wonderful manifestation that I thought I’d share with you all. This has been a tremendously stressful time at work. With the Holidays we have plenty of work to do, if not more and all of us on staff take more time off, increasing the load. Fortunately I asked and got approval to get someone to work 10 hours a week to help out. What a response! I got 53 applicants in just four days. I haven’t been able to look at the resumes at all because I’ve been so busy. This afternoon I had a moment to review them, and asked my supervisor if she wanted to look at them also. She flat out said she didn’t want any part of it. I sat and picked up that big ole stack and said to another helper that I didn’t really want to look at them either. I just wanted someone to show up ready to work, shortcutting this application process. Less than 3 minutes later, a young man walked in and asked about the position that we had. I looked at his resume and he had the very skills we could use in our department! He also speaks Spanish and can help me learn more, so that sweetened the deal for me. I had to go get my supervisor since she had to be part of this hasty decision, and LOL, we hired him on the spot. So without going through all of those resumes, we had the perfect someone show up when we needed him. He was tickled to know that he had a job starting the first of the year, so everyone was very happy. I love just seeing someone in my mind’s eye and then they show up – they do! Ken, you and I do that anyway, but this has increased. It is so much more instantaneous and remarkable since learning with you the past couple of years and attending your workshop last June. I wanted to share this just in time success with you all. Leephether If it affects you, then you have the power to change it. Manifesting is not always about what you desire at home.

Praying for the Cure: Message Received at the DMV
Recently I was invited to appear on a local radio show here in Denver. It was fun to be live in the studio with radio hosts Greg and Lisa. Most of my radio interviews are in other parts of the country and take place by phone. The owner of the radio and recording studio facility is Hoss. I told Hoss I was interested in doing an audiobook version of Manifesting 123 and he recommended the perfect person to me. So lately I’ve been recording at Hoss’ studio and spending more time with him there.A number of talk shows originate from his station. His philosophy is to have upbeat programs without offensive language. He is basically trying to put some good out into the world. I’m glad we got to spend more time together. Hoss has a lot of interesting stories from his years in the broadcast industry. Then there was that one personal story that really got my attention. I’m delighted that Hoss has allowed me to pass this onto you. Some years back, he was diagnosed with an incurable type of cancer. He was a very sick man and it didn’t help his struggle mentally to know that one of his best friends had been diagnosed with the same type of cancer about a year before. The difference was that his friend’s cancer was operable, but Hoss’ was not. Hoss, his friends, family and total strangers, were putting up a lot of prayers. He was doing some very serious asking and petitioning. He did not want to die. Leading up to the diagnosis, Hoss underwent exploratory surgery. While the doctor had his suspicions of what he was going to find, he needed to see exactly what causing the excruciating pain. After opening Hoss up and exposing the cantaloupe-sized tumor to the surgical team, the prognosis was pretty grim. Turned out that this was the exact same 8-person surgical team that operated on Hoss’ friend who had been diagnosed a year earlier. The cancer was pretty much identical, except for the location. Hoss wasn’t expected to live through the night. The next morning the doctor was doing his rounds and was surprised to see that Hoss was still alive, but in pretty bad shape. The doctor told Hoss to hang on and that he would return later in the day. When he returned, he brought an Oncologist with him who had amazingly enough, treated Hoss’s friend. It was at this time that Hoss was told that he had cancer. While the Oncologist was up beat, his prognosis was that Hoss would not live more than 6 months. To his credit, the doctor did not share that prognosis with Hoss and discharged him from the hospital a week later, scheduling him for 6 months of experimental and intensive chemotherapy. Months later, Hoss was still extremely weak and far from a picture of health. The medical bills had really mounted up, so Hoss decided that he would have a garage sale in an attempt to bring in some extra cash. On the day of the sale his daughter came to him and asked for a favor. She said she would run the garage sale if he would go to the DMV and renew her license plates. That sounded like torture to Hoss. Because of his very fragile health and low-energy, it would take a real effort for him to get to and from the DMV. However, to please his daughter he made the trip. When he got into the waiting room, all the chairs were full except for two, side by side in the front row. A large number of people were standing all around the perimeter of the room. Hoss needed to sit down and he told me he would’ve done whatever it took to get one of those two chairs. He got lucky and collapsed into one of the chairs. Now he just had to tough it out for the long, long wait until his number was called. Almost immediately a woman sat down next to him and began to chat. She was a real talker and Hoss didn’t have the energy or desire to carry on a conversation. She was friendly enough and hard to ignore, but he didn’t give her much in the way of responses. Then she mentioned that she was a nurse. Hoss has a real soft spot in his heart for nurses and he began to engage a bit more. Hoss talked about his cancer and the nurse said that she knew his surgeon’s mother. The mother had recently died and this nurse helped her through hospice. What a small world it was. Hoss was glad that he made the effort to talk with this woman. Then his number was called, but before he could stand up, this lady patted him on the leg, called him by name, and told him that everything would be OK. Hoss thanked her and got up to walk over to the clerk’s window. After a few steps he suddenly stopped, realizing that he had intentionally not given this lady his name, yet she knew it! He turned around to ask her how she knew his name, but she was gone and two other people were sitting in the chairs that Hoss and the nurse had occupied just seconds ago. Hoss was stunned. This women had no way of knowing what his name was. The room was still full of people but there was only one door out and he thought that he could easily find her. There’s no way she could have exited the room that quickly. He was hanging by the clerks window in disbelief. She simply wasn’t in the room now but she knew his name. The clerk asked Hoss, “Are you alright?” He stammered out that he was OK, then he asked the woman, “Did you see the woman that I was talking to? I can’t find her in the room.” The clerk said, “That’s why
