Creative Visualization for My Journey and Yours

I believe I have the ability to create the things I want in my life - do you?

I also believe I deserve to be happy and fulfilled. Do you hold this belief for your sweet self?

Mine has been a long, arduous journey both personally and professionally. The details of which are not always as important and valuable as (a) the lessons learned along the way, (b) where you find yourself in this present moment, and (c) where you creatively visualize yourself being.

I've been feeling a remarkable, sudsy, joyful shift in my life recently as I continue giving (much overdue) attention to my spirit, to my needs, to my whole-ness as a wife, mother, artist, creator, friend - as a whole being. 

In the small pockets of time in between the activities & responsibilities that fulfill my days in my calling as wife, mother, friend, artist, creator, entrepreneur, sole proprietor (read - she wears all the hats, spins all the plates, has 100 costume changes in a singe act - and owns a flowery cape and pretty red phone booth!) I have allowed myself to be pulled in the direction my spirit (my intuition) is calling me.

I have recently invested a small fortune in Barnes & Noble and Amazon. You can have your Kindle, but a real book will never go out of style for me, for I take great pleasure in holding my pen and highlighter along with my book and journal, making notes in the margins and white spaces between the pages & dog-earing pages of particular importance. The written word is art to my soul - and so I am drawn (no pun intended) to books that bring vivid color to my soul, that fill me up where I need filling.

As a Creative Entrepreneur, I believe Life is a Verb, and I've oft wondered if there are (12) Secrets to Highly Creative Women - and you, what are your thoughts on this?

What qualities, attributes, (secrets) do those who precede me have? I ponder how do I use the power of my imagination to create what I want in life? Do you ever think about this?

While no easy journey mine has been, I would not trade it for anything . . .

I chose these life lessons before I came to this beautiful earth so that I may fulfill my promise (that is, what we come to life promising to master). For me it has been and is embodying, embracing and expressing my self worth so that I may share my gift with you (that is what we come to give to life). For me it is to shine light on a path of discovery to your unique beauty, beloved spirit and unlimited possibilities. 

The bridge for me, from there to here, is one akin to an old, rickety (hanging by a vine) ready to break at any moment kind of bridge you might find deep in a rain forest - certainly NOT the Golden Gate Bridge. I am, however, so grateful to have discovered this bridge, for despite its near fatal appearance, it gave me the opportunity to cross from there to here into a lush land of abundance, crisp-clean-ohsofresh air. Breath in, breath out.  Mine was a bridge I needed to cross by faith, not by sight (btw I am terrified of heights).

We are the creators of the life we live - the thought begets the manifestation of our individual reality.

In other words, the seed is planted before we can harvest an abundant nourishing crop.

I have personally begun to put into practice creative visualization. The response I received was so immediate and specific I was initially cautiously but gleefully surprised. So, I explore the journey more & more in those precious but few pockets of time each day.

I believe we are given permission by, in fact encouraged by our Creator to ask, and it will be given . . .(Matthew 7:7-8).  Seek what you need, and when you do so, ask that this, or something even better, that you cannot yet see be in the process of manifesting in your life, for your highest good and for the highest good of all concerned, blessing you, those in your life, and our beautiful earth.

May you and your creative visualizations be blessed, and may miracles bloom in your garden this beautiful day.

Terri,

Beautiful thoughts...I too love books, yellow highlighters and notes in the margins or in a journal. I've read the 12 secrets book and enjoyed reading it and making notes. Now I am inspired to go to B&N and find the other two books.

Have blest day!
