The other day, just for fun and silliness and to distract
Franki from something she was unhappily focused on, I said, “hey Franki…guess
what?!? Today we’re going to see a blue bird, a white bowl and a yellow
butterfly”. I said the first things
that popped into my thoughts. Did it
matter if we saw them? No. Did I try to manipulate anything so that we
could see them? No. I already know that I’m the creator of my
reality. I already know that anything I
want is mine to have and to experience to the extent that I allow it and I
don’t need to “test” Law of Attraction to see if it works. So the point here is that I didn’t have a
preconceived notion of how or where I would see these things and it really
didn’t matter if I saw them at all, it really was just a way for me to bring
Franki’s awareness to something else. A little later that day, as we strolled
happily along the streets of a nearby town, I was inspired to look down at the
sidewalk and noticed a single wing of a
butterfly…in blue. I chuckled to myself as I made the
association to what I’d said earlier and found humor in the idea that it was
the combination of two things…the blue
bird and a butterfly. We were about to
sit at a particular place for lunch that seemed
like a great place, the food looked yummy and the place was full…all
indications that this would be a good place to eat, but I just wasn’t “feeling
it” and just as I was considering whether to sit down or not, someone took the
last outdoor table that was available.
Instead, we went to the place that I’d felt drawn to go to that was just
down the street. Jack and I both ordered
from the menu and I ordered a lunch made up of a combination of things for
Franki. Our meals came served on white
plates, while Franki’s watermelon, sliced manchengo cheese and bread came in a white bowl. That evening, just prior to putting Franki to
bed, my attention rested on her t-shirt of choice, sprinkled with blue and pink
butterflies, and among them, yellow
butterflies and moments later as we were about to turn the television off,
two blue birds came fluttering across
the screen. There are so many simple
ways to be delighted in a day and there are so many ways to focus your
attention on what feels good in your experience. I believe I’m always being given impulses to
think and impulses to go places and impulses to do things and I believe that it
wasn’t by “chance” that we came to eat at the very place we ate at, and it
wasn’t “coincidence” that I ordered something for Franki that came delivered in
a white bowl and I believe that the Universe is always playing with me and eager
to please me in ways that will continually reflect that I’m the creator of my
reality. Everything can be this easy,
the only difference is “what am I putting in the way” of what’s so ready to be
delivered to me? In this case, it was
all in fun; I wasn’t attached to an outcome; I didn’t need anything to manifest to test how good I am at manifesting; I
didn’t need validation in any way, and I wasn’t “holding out” on having a
really fun day until I got to see all of those things. You get
to have whatever you want, and the Universe has it all lined up for you, and
there are multiple ways and multiple combinations for you to experience it
all…the question is, how much crap are you putting in the way of it?
Whatever comes to mind as a result of what I'm living. It's about anything and everything. I write about life through the eyes of our daughter's perspective (what I perceive it might be) and I write about what I think about and the realizations I get and the conclusions I draw as a result of my own life experience....all for freedom of expression and for the fun of it.
