* * *

I welcome you to this book, which is designed to awaken the powerful, life-changing potential that is already within you. It introduces a practical and transformative technique for creating the life you desire. The process is simple and fun to do, while profound in its results. My development and use of this practice aligned me with my highest potential. Thereby, I created the life I always wanted. I shared this method with family, friends, and clients who encouraged me to publish and share it with an even broader audience. With the help of my beloved daughter, who has been my inspiration, I present this guidebook to you. My blessings are imprinted on every page: mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Now it is up to you to dive in, put its wisdom to use, and utilize your innate powers to create a more joyful life.

Our journey begins with an understanding of what I refer to as the universal law of manifestation. When we manifest, we bring that which we imagine into physical reality. It may surprise you to discover that you are manifesting the people, the things, and the situations in your life. Every day you are internally and externally speaking thoughts to yourself. What you may not realize is that each of these thoughts carries a specific vibration into the universe. Whether these vibrational thoughts are negative or positive does not matter. They draw circumstances to you that perfectly match your thought patterns. In other words, you get exactly what you focus on.

Vibrations are not something the average individual is able to see, yet we are able to experience them through our emotions. If you can think of these emotions as being positive or negative, you can better understand vibrational frequency. When you are in a lower vibration, you don't feel good. You are restricting joy and limiting your potential. Likewise, when you feel good, joyful, and blessed, you are in a higher vibration and your emotional state is soaring. Being observant of your feelings is essential in creating the life you desire. The pages of this workbook enable you to experience and radiate unconditional love and appreciation. It assists you in understanding that positive, conscious awareness is the key component in obtaining and maintaining a happier, healthier you.

You may tend to think of your positive experiences as sheer luck and your unpleasant experiences as random misfortune or the fault of someone else. However those in the habit of forming benevolent thoughts attract more favorable experiences. In turn, negative thinkers habitually create and trap themselves in spirals of detrimental experiences without realizing they are the source of their own troubles. It is true; attitude is everything. Retraining our thoughts to broadcast positive vibrations is beneficial to you and to everyone you encounter. The Universe (also known as God, Spirit, Life, Source, Divine, or whatever name you prefer) is constantly mirroring your focused attention.

Your thought patterns call the universal law of manifestation into action and bring forth physical reality. This means that the first step in creating the life you want is to pay close attention to your thoughts. It is easy to respond to an experience without conscious awareness. For example, if your car battery is dead you may reason, "Just my luck. Bad things always happen to me," and curse the car and the situation. If you can catch yourself in this negative pattern, you can choose to rewrite the story. Instead, you may affirm, "My car is reliable. I take good care of it as it takes good care of me." Your thoughts, which represent your focus, are creating your present and future reality. These thought patterns can even be passed on to future generations of children. Can you imagine the gift of breaking your negative patterns before your children inherit them? Know that you have the power to break these chains.

I know this simple explanation of truth can empower you to envision and create a better life for yourself. You are about to engage in a hands- on practice where manifestation is made easy and fun. Throughout my years as a parent and an educator, I made the mundane and difficult concepts easier to learn through techniques that created flare and interest. This is the foundation for this workbook. It inspires you to shift your attitude into joy and appreciation almost instantly. It facilitates a profound sense of contentment that aligns you with the creative life force. Within this alignment springs forth your heart's desire in physical form. This is the most sought-after secret of life, and it is yours to enjoy.

Wherever you are on this journey, I assure you that everything is as it should be. Trust that you have Divine help. Know that you have personal abilities beyond limited thinking that await your claim. Remember this, dear friend; manifesting a better life is rewarding and truly empowering.

My Story

* * *

You may be wondering how I know that the law of manifestation is always working. I know this because I experienced the power of it firsthand. I once perceived myself as a victim. I believed that life was happening to me instead of the other way around. I seemed to draw varying degrees of abuse into my life from different individuals. I had no clue that I had attracted these people, nor that I had the power to change this pattern. It took deep introspection on my part to discover that my self- destructive thoughts originated at birth and solidified during my childhood.

Unfortunately, my mother almost died during my delivery, and we were immediately separated from one another. Instead of celebrating my newborn arrival, I was surrounded by panic and fear from everyone in the delivery room. We remained in the hospital for over a month, and during this time, I received little touch or nurturing from her. My mother was on the brink of death, fighting for her own life. After five and a half weeks of hospitalization, we were finally able to go home on Christmas Day. I was being passed around and held by my brother and two sisters when suddenly, I stopped breathing. Knowing CPR, my father resuscitated me before medical help arrived, and I was whisked back to the hospital.

Undoubtedly, this took a tremendous toll on my mother's already weakened condition.

Years later, I sought to identify and make sense of several inappropriate life choices I had made. I was an effective and loving teacher and had many friends. Yet, I did not understand why my most intimate relationships were painful and doomed to fail. With determination to understand myself, I turned to the source of my insecurities. I realized there was little or no bonding between my mother and me during this critical time in our lives. I believe my mother looked upon me as a source of fear, distrust, and resentment on a subconscious level. Misperceptions shadowed my reality, which left me feeling unworthy of true happiness. Over time I began to appreciate and understand that this was a treasure my mother gifted me with. The confusion I felt for so many years created separation deep within my soul. This was the gem that motivated me to heal my life. And it contributed to a promise and commitment I made to be fearless and follow my joy. This truth shaped my very first manifestation worksheet, which prompted me to immediately...
