Law of Attraction

Happy Friday,

How is eveyone doing this amazing and wonderful day? We are knocking on the weekends door, it’s almost here. What are your plans? This weekend promises to be a fun one for us. Tonight we launch off the weekend with dinner and drinks with our friends Art and Laura, then tomorrow, we are doing a family birthday celebration. With three of us having August birthdays, the family does a group celebration. Personally, I think John’s mom just enjoys the family gatherings, so this is a great way to get everyone together. It’s always a fun day when we celebrate. We had John’s parents over for dinner last night. It was a last minute thing, but it turned out really nice. I think they had fun. I told John last night after they left that we really need to have them over at least once a month. They do so much to help us, especially with getting Grant to and from school. I guess I can sum this paragraph up by saying, we are so blessed to have so many amazing people in our lives. We have not only each other, but we have family and friends that mean the world to us.

Today I wanted to chat about the law of attraction. What exactly is the law of attraction you may be asking? Well, according to verywellmind.com, “the law of attraction is a philosophy suggesting that positive thoughts bring positive results into a person’s life, while negative thoughts bring negative outcomes.” Guess what? This philosophy is so true. For awhile now I’ve been putting this very theory to the test. Every morning when I get up I read a series of positive affirmations. I also think about my Aunt Billie and how she always tells me that before you get out of bed, remind yourself that today is going to be a good day. Now it’s totally unrealistic to say every day is going to be candy coated with a cherry on top, but, we can have a positive attitude and hopefully, we can make the best out of most situations.

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve read the same affirmation over and over again. Each morning I’ve read, “today I will receive a phone call that will change my life.” Yesterday, I received that phone call. I had one of my attorney’s call me with some news I’ve been needing for almost three years now. I feel a sense of relief. One huge burden has been lifted. I have many more obsticals in front of me, and that’s okay. One down and a few to go.

Thelawofattraction.com says, that “whatever can be imagined and held in the mind’s eye is achievable if you take action on a plan to get where you want to be.” I’ve always believed this to a point, however, I wasn’t fully invested in this thought process. John really is the one that’s helped me see that what we put out to the Universe generally is what we get back. “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.”-Buddha.

I was recently reading an article that said your mind can cure just about any ailment you have. I haven’t found that to be totally true yet, but what I have found to be true is, when I’m having an off day, when my balance is off or something, I try and get busy doing something to take my mind off of it. I haven’t found it to cure my issue, but I have found it to keep me preoccupied with something to the point that I don’t dwell on it.

When John and I walked through Canyon Lake, it was on the very street that our condo came available that he said, “this place feels like home and we will live here one day.” Within four months, I found the condo and moved in. The condo is on the same street where he declared those words to me. John tells me all the time that I believed it so strongly that Canyon Lake would be home, I made it happen. “Our thoughts, our feelings, our dreams, our ideas are physical in the Universe. That if we dream something, if we picture something, it adds a physical thrust towards realization that we can put into the Universe.”-Will Smith.

What do you dream of? Where do you see yourself in six months, a year from now? For me, I’m putting out to the Universe that I will have my book published by January 11th, 2022. Why January 11th? That’s my daddy’s birthday and even though he isn’t physically with me, he’s still lives in my heart. I still talk to him and I can feel his presence. I believe he’s driving me to complete my book. Yesterday I was looking up a book that someone recommended on Amazon. Once I found it, a series of other books along the same topic showed up. I sat and read through each one and then, I read each title outloud and at the end, I added the title of my book to that list. I not only believe my book will be published, I gave it to the Universe.

I had a friend tell me on a few occasions that I need to write about my escape of the religion/cult that I was raised in. Jana told me that by doing that I might just help someone. She believes in my journey and sees that my writing can help others. Funny, my whole goal in writing my book, my blog and my journel is to help others. If only one person can be spared the heartache I’ve endured, it’s all worth it.

I’ve had a lifelong dream to write. John saw that ability in me and encouraged me to just do it. He set me up on a blog site, then another one. He encouraged me to write my book. He’s gone above and beyond in getting me all the tools I need to be sucessful at writing. Now, the rest is on me. I’ll make him proud someday. One day I’ll be able to show him my letter from a publisher stating they will publish my book.

Living my life now with a more positive outlook helps. It helps my depression and it gives me purpose. I can’t work, not a real job anyway, but I can write. It makes me happy and I love blogging because it makes me feel connected to all of you. I am honored and blessed to have so many people reading my blog. I am grateful for the love and support I recieve.

In the movie, Something’s Gotta Give with Diane Keaton, she plays the part of a playwritter and in her home in the movie, her desk sits up against nothing but windows that overlook the ocean. The first time I saw that movie, I wanted that. I wanted to be a writer and have that home. I always dismissed the idea, because I didn’t have confidence in myself and because I didn’t have someone who believed in me, that is, until John came along. He saw talent in me, talent I didn’t even know I had. The Universe blessed me by giving me a partner that pushes me, encourages me and believes in me. The Universe has yet to let me down. Thanks to John who has opened my eyes to positive thinking, rather than negative or doubtful thinking.
