Welcome to our new feature!

“There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.”

— Oscar Wilde

We have a New Moon this week, and I am very aware this is a great time to plant seeds of manifestation. I am also aware most of us have no idea what we really want. We are all familiar with the old adage, “Be careful what you wish for surely you will get it.” largely because it is true.

EXAMPLE: Three witches cast a spell for abundance (they want money) and all three become pregnant. Is that a success? It is abundance but not what they thought they wanted.

Too often, we are in a hurry to cast, plant, invoke, petition, etc., just because we have a phase of the moon. (NOTE: No matter what the current moon phase, there will be another one next month.) Successful manifestation – receiving and or creating what you really want, rather than some version of what you think you asked for – requires a certain order of operations for best results. Today, we have what I like to think of as Step One:

ENVISION. What does your successful manifestation look like?

Do you know what you want the final outcome to be? Is it a particular job/title, home/address, business opportunity, bank account balance? To be clear, I am not talking about a vision board with pictures of what you want that other people have; I am talking about as exact a vision as possible of what you want your life to look like (and be!) through your manifestation. Right it down – every detail, no piece of the vision too small – the more specific it is, the better but do not overthink it. For now, just let it flow.

Think about it. Work on it. Dream it as big as you like. And next week, we will talk about the importance of Step Two – Review.

Be happy. Be safe. Be well.
