Before we left for vacation, I found myself sitting at a stop sign by our house looking at the house next to us and wishing the people would move.
Now, before you think Tina’s lost her mind and that is SO mean to think, hear me out.
Here in Plano, we have had many ‘upscale’ houses busted for marijuana dealing. If you have heard of the Showtime series, WEEDS, then you have a pretty good idea of what I’m talking about.
I am not sure why we keep attracting these sorts of characters – our last house had a drug dealer next door, and on various nights the cops would drive down the alley just to receive a bolt of light from the drug dealer’s flood lights. When that guy moved out in the middle of the night, a few days later, we went with the realtor to look at what was left of his house. Sure enough, he had had security cameras installed throughout the whole house and when he left, he literally pulled them out of the walls and vacated the premises.
Okay, back to our current neighborhood. Our neighbors prior to these neighbors acted similarly suspicious, and our crime watch neighborhood group sent many cops over to that house. Then, one day, they vacated in the middle of the night, and the house on the corner stood empty for many, many months until one day a new suspicious neighbor moved in.
This last neighbor, for me, was the worst. I did not like driving by the house. I didn’t like how I felt. I felt bad for being judgmental, but literally, energetically, I didn’t feel well. Everything about the energy said, “GET OUT!” The tell-tell sign on the door read, “NO SOLICITING!” in big block letters. Day in and day out cars would drive up, and leave. And, yes, the cops would come by and check on them very often.
About a week before we left, our power went out unexpectedly, but next door we could hear a very loud generator running. It sounded like a LARGE generator. Hmmm, what does one need a large generator for, anyway?
So, there I was the day before leaving for vacation, and though I had been changing my driving pattern to avoid driving by that house, that day, I was in a hurry. Habit took over. I sat at that stop sign and I looked over at that house and felt that energy, and I thought, “I just wish those people would MOVE OUT!”
I didn’t give the wish more than a couple of minutes thought as I had many errands to run to get ready to leave. I just felt tired of feeling that energy. Of looking at the yard that seemingly didn’t belong to anyone because no one ‘lived’ there.
When we came home from vacation, Mark’s mom met us at the door. She said, “Well, they moved out. They moved everything out and are gone.”
Thank goodness, I thought. And, I remembered that wish on a Thursday like any other…from the bottom of my heart, but only if it was for the best for everyone involved.
Now, I don’t know if they were doing anything illegal or not. That’s not for me to say, but I did know what I felt every day since they moved in. And, thankfully, I don’t feel that anymore!
I have always manifested through ‘wishing’… my wishes often come from the deepest part of who I am. Do you wish and receive, too? Then your wishes have power, too!

Friday, I went to Minette’s house for an art playdate. I felt so excited because I knew we were going to do a ‘thank you’ video for Violette because her online class, Journal Bliss, literally gave us 5 months of art-full play! I highly recommend grabbing a friend and getting one of her classes (Violette’s energy gave us a creative confidence boost and inspired us!).
While we created the video, I looked over and saw one of Minette’s Zentangle gift cards. She has made many of these over the last year or so (and they are all GORGEOUS), and last year, even invited me to a Zentangle class where I was introduced to this thoughtful, meditative creative expression.
As I looked at the card, I felt myself drawn to the card itself. I liked the idea of small creations that I could start and finish and know they are ‘done.’
When I came home, I had some other projects to finish for work and I deliberately chose to take a day off from school. I felt pulled to more art, and so I grabbed my watercolors and started painting.
As I painted, I thought of those cards again. I really wanted some. I thought, I wish I had some of those cards. I painted in my watercolor notebook and thought of different things I could paint on those cards. I have always said “I wish” ever since I was a little girl. I wish works as fast and as magically for me as anything. But, last night I was not even thinking of manifesting the cards when I said it, I was simply expressing what I most wanted from my heart.
I finished painting, put up my palette book and paints, and then played a game with Mark and Chance.
As the evening went on, I felt drowsier and drowsier, so I went to bed and quickly drifted off to sleep. The cards were a distant thought and memory.
Today, I woke up and got right back at my school work, but I couldn’t force myself to get going. Instead, I wandered outside and talked to the plants and birds. I fed our mama and daughter mockingbirds as they chirped nearby. I felt the breeze on my skin as I listened to the chimes gonging in the background. I looked at the color of the sun on the surface of the pool water, and noticed the sun trying to poke through the foliage above me. I soaked up the warm rays and felt them pelting against my pale skin.
I thought I might be able to read outside, but I couldn’t. The energies didn’t match up and I felt myself wishing to just relax, to enjoy this abnormal 70s weather in May and to take time out. So I did. I put the books aside and just enjoyed the rhythm of nature complete with the smell of mint nearby.
I walked inside to get some water and met Mark’s mom coming in from the front. She excitedly exclaimed, “Look what I got for you!” And, there, in her hands were two brand new boxes of Strathmore (one of my most FAVORITE papers) greeting cards…100 cards total! I am amazed at how fast things come to me when I wish from the depths of my heart…my dreamer’s desires. She has been saying that she wants to paint and draw, and with all of this schoolwork on the intellectual plane, she has been throwing tantrums! I have been keeping my promise to her to draw, paint and play at least twice a week. Yesterday, Minette and I only had 30 minutes, so I knew more painting was in store for me. And, now, I’ll do more Zentangling, too. Thank you, Nana, for being the messenger.
I wish… Please send… I ask for… whatever way you ask, ask and expect to receive it!
Looking for a Dream Life:
A few weeks ago, Kathy Garland and I held our third Fearless Manifesting call. On the call, Doreen Fisher (who we asked to come make her musical debut at Fearless Manifesting) shared the most amazing, miraculous story about being out in the middle of nowhere, with a car that was cleaned out, with $30 cash in her husband’s pocket, $10 shy of what they needed to pay their campsite fee, and miraculously finding $10 in change in a car that was completely cleaned out!
What a GREAT story… and I had a Doreen Fisher moment myself yesterday. I stopped to get lunch and the bill was $5.40. I had 20 cents in nickels and a dime, but after digging around in my wallet for even another dime (hey, I could give them 10 pennies, right?), I opted to go with six dollars and get change. I dropped my dime and nickels into my wallet with the rest of the pennies.
Down the street, I decided to get an iced tea at Starbucks. I haven’t bought one in a while so I didn’t realize the price went up. I had two bucks, I knew, but didn’t realize it would be $2.27. As I pulled out the dollar bills, I thought, no problem, I have 20 cents and I’ll just give him the pennies for the seven cents. As I opened up my wallet, I saw two shiny quarters – it was almost identical to what Doreen shared in her story. I could NOT believe it. Five minutes earlier, I had just scoured my wallet (and purse) for an extra dime or two so I would have to break another dollar bill (yes, it is a long-held habit to maximize how I manage my money).
And, now, here were TWO shiny – almost too shiny quarters. This is how Doreen described it! I immediately called her to share… it was so much fun!
While this might seem like ‘no big deal’… the feeling I have when things like this happen is almost euphoric… like I am held in God’s hand… safe and sound!
As I post this photo… I see In God We Trust stamped right there on the coin!
