Time To Choose Your Word And Make Miracles Happen!

Years ago, I’d write in my journal and dream of going to France with my true love, where I could spend days, and weeks, enjoying beautiful France, and especially the food and wine. At the time, I didn’t know who “my love” would be or any of the details. It was a dream, a heart’s desire, a figment of my imagination.

I was suddenly single after 27 years of marriage, and My kids had all moved out of the house and off to college.

I was learning how to be alone for the first time in my whole life!

I learned that I could make dinner for one and really enjoy it. I discovered I liked sleeping in. I’d have a glass of wine and read a good book in the late afternoon. I could even write in the middle of the night if I wanted! All was quiet and peaceful.

But after a while, I grew restless. I missed being in a relationship. I loved being married. Most of all… I missed being in love.

This is where the Big Magic comes in…

As silly as it sounds, I cleared out a closet where my future “someone” could put their clothes. I moved the clutter out of the garage for a second car. I stopped sleeping in the middle of the bed, and moved to “my half.” Just before I fell asleep at night, I’d imagine walking on the beach at sunset and feeling the presence of another person.

AND I’d write about it.

I’d use my imagination to create the life I desired.

I began calling my journal an IDEA GARDEN because it was filled with things that came from that mysterious place in our minds. Our brains have the miraculous ability to spin stories and ideas… and those ideas certainly can become real.

Over the next few months of “imagining” my new life, I discovered my Idea Garden knew something I didn’t… writing puts thoughts in motion. There was proof right there in the pages! Words, drawings, quotes… all sorts of things that came from my imagination, my ability to think, and be present. Little signs were showing me that things were happening. I just had to pay attention.

Writing is the way your creative mind speaks to you. It’s a resource for those magical thoughts to take root because once you release them onto the page, you’ve given the universe clues as to what you’d like to happen next.

All things were once thoughts, even the coffee you’re drinking. It was your thought to make it, and there you are sipping the brew. Now you’re sitting down at your desk (once someone’s thought to design) and you decide to write. Words spill out and they are your creation… even if it’s a letter that begins with, “I miss you!”

Your life is your masterpiece, and there is still work to be done because your thoughts create your reality.

As you first start with your journal, it might feel awkward. You might ask, what do I write about? Remember, it’s just you and your ideas. No one is grading you. Just breathe and pretend your journal is your best friend… you’re writing a letter!

Then, continue expanding your thoughts. The flow will take over at some point, and you’ll be surprised when you look back at it. You might even ask, “Did I really write this?”

That’s the magic of this type of writing. You’ll constantly wonder where it came from! Is it God? The Universe? Your Muse? It might seem strange at first, and then you’ll get to know that “other voice” that lives in your head. The creative voice that was given to you at birth and was yours to develop. That very voice becomes the written words in your garden of ideas, and it sends thoughts into motion.

AND… Wonderful things begin to happen!

Remember this… Goals and dreams have much more power when you write them down.

Why? Because the thought turns into an idea that has energy AND it’s transformed into words on paper.

Now the idea is visible. Then, you take those words, expand on them, start the action, and take the very next step toward bringing those ideas to life.

Like I did by imagining my next true love…

So… here’s the rest of the story:
That dream I had written in my journal of wanting to be in France with my true love, enjoying the history, the food, and wine. It really happened… I met the man I was going to marry just a few months later.



There, in the photo, I’m on the streets of Paris. My true love… my new husband was taking the photo. We walked 30,000 steps that day, and alas, those are the shoes that gave me blisters! But it didn’t matter… I was having the time of my life.

Lucky me… I had discovered it could all begin with a word, a notebook, and a pen. And it can for you, too.

So my dear friends... Dreams do come true… It’s your turn. You won’t believe what happens next!

Much love,
Sandy
