Day 5: Mindful Words, Magical Outcomes

Today was a good day.
I wasn’t vibing quite as high as yesterday, but I still felt grounded and calm—radiating a quiet kind of happiness.

Yesterday afternoon, I went on the most beautiful walk. The weather was perfect, I had tons of energy, and I was listening to a podcast by David Ghiyam. The message? Negativity.

🕊 “When we speak negatively, we draw negativity. When we speak with love and light, we draw miracles.” — Rav Berg, Kabbalah Centre

David challenged listeners to speak kindly, resist gossip, and shift into loving consciousness. Whether or not you study Kabbalah, what a powerful way to live.

I’ll be honest—I’ve definitely been drawn into the teacher gossip at school. I’ve said things I regretted or talked about people behind their backs. It never feels good afterward. That old quote—“Loose lips sink ships”—always rings in my ears. (Pretty sure my mom used to say that growing up.)

So today, I set an intention:
✨ No gossip.
✨ No criticism.
✨ No negative talk—about myself or others.

And let me tell you, within 30 minutes of waking up, I caught myself twice about to complain about something trivial. I stopped, took a breath, and reframed my complaint into a statement of gratitude. Then I put two small Sharpie dots on my hand—one for each negative impulse. My plan was to add a dot anytime I spoke with negativity.

The best part? I didn’t add any more dots the rest of the day.

Thoughts, of course, are a little trickier to manage. But I really tried to stay aware—to seek out joy, to reframe, to stay in the light. And it worked. I felt clear. Peaceful. On track.

Kabbalah teaches that certainty and positive consciousness are the keys to unlocking miracles. When we dwell in doubt or negativity, it’s like telling the universe, “I don’t believe anything good is coming.”
And the universe always responds to what you project.

After school today, I skipped my usual walk. A gentle rain moved in—so instead, I took a warm bath (total luxury) and read Ask and It Is Given, one of my favorite books on the Law of Attraction.

No matter how many times I read it, I always walk away with something new. Tonight, it was a section called “A Consistent Formula Gives You Consistent Results.”

“Like learning the basics of mathematics and then understanding the results of their applications, you will now have a formula for understanding your world that will always be consistent… so consistent that you will be able to predict your future experiences with absolute accuracy, and understand your past with a knowing that was previously unavailable to you.”

Yes. That’s what this blog is about.
Consistency.
Discipline.
Light.
Gratitude.
Belief.

I will be consistent.
And I will watch the miracles unfold.

Today I am grateful for:

🌧️ The rainy weather that gave me a reason to slow down and rest.
🛁 A peaceful, uninterrupted bath and the time to reflect.
📚 Books that speak directly to my soul, no matter how many times I read them.
🧠 Awareness of my thoughts and the ability to gently redirect them.
🖊️ This blog, which keeps me anchored and intentional.
🎧 Podcasts that help me grow and reconnect to the light.
🤍 My kind, helpful husband.
👩‍🏫 A career that challenges me to be more patient, more present, and more compassionate.
👧🏻 My children—their joy, chaos, curiosity, and love.
✨ The opportunity to create the life I dream of, one aligned thought at a time.

Manifestation Practice:

💫 I am so happy and grateful now that I consistently speak with love, patience, and light. My words uplift, heal, and inspire those around me.

💫 I am so happy and grateful now that I live free of negativity and doubt. I trust that the universe is always working in my favor.

As I wrap up today’s reflection, I’m holding deep gratitude for the small wins, the awareness of my thoughts, and the continued commitment to this journey. I know that each intentional step I take is bringing me closer to the life I’ve envisioned.

🌟 Mini Mantra:
“I am aligned, I am certain, and I am ready to receive.”

365 Days to Abundance: Day 1 of My Manifestation Practice

Here we go. Day 1. Let the journey begin.

In all the books I’ve read about the law of attraction and manifesting desires, there’s one common thread: the power of gratitude. The more you appreciate what you have, the more the universe delivers things to be grateful for.

So, this morning—and every morning moving forward—I’m taking time to reflect on ten things I’m truly grateful for. Why ten? Because honestly, I could go on and on about the blessings in my life. Throughout my day, I find myself saying thank you for the smallest and biggest things. But starting with ten helps me center my focus and sets the tone for everything else that follows.

Here is my gratitude list for today:

  1. Thank you for my family. I am so lucky to have them in my life.
  2. Thank you for my home. It keeps my family safe, warm, and comfortable.
  3. Thank you for my job. I love the people I work with and the opportunity to positively influence children’s lives.
  4. Thank you for my car. It fits my entire family and allows us to safely get where we need to go.
  5. Thank you for my extended family. I’m grateful to have a support system that loves me and my family unconditionally.
  6. Thank you for this beautiful day. The sky is blue, the sun is warm, and I love sitting outside and soaking in the fresh air.
  7. Thank you for our health. My family and I are so fortunate to live without limitations in this season of life.
  8. Thank you for spring break. I’m so lucky to have a career that allows me to enjoy time off and make memories with my family.
  9. Thank you for the healthy, fresh food we have access to every day. It nourishes us and gives us energy.
  10. Thank you for my newfound knowledge of Kabbalah. It’s been a grounding force and has renewed my spiritual energy in such a meaningful way.

I plan to reread my list several times today and truly sit with the feelings of gratitude that come from reflecting on all that I’m thankful for.

With my gratitude practice complete, I’m now setting clear intentions for what I want to call into my life. I’ll write as if these dreams are already my reality, feeling the emotions they bring.

I am so happy and grateful now that I am a full-time writer working from home. Each morning, I start my day with a warm cup of coffee in my favorite cozy spot, sunlight streaming through the windows as I write with ease and inspiration. I love the flexibility of my career—it allows me to set my own schedule and be fully present for my family. The financial freedom it provides has given us the ability to travel, create beautiful memories, and live comfortably. I feel so proud of the recognition and respect I’ve earned by doing what I love, and it fills me with joy to know my words inspire and connect with others around the world.

I am so happy and grateful now that we live in our dream home. Our house is spacious and welcoming, with enough room for each of our children to have their own space to relax and grow. We have a bright game room filled with laughter, a cozy movie room where we snuggle up for family nights, a workout room that keeps us energized, and private offices where my husband and I feel focused and inspired. Outside, our beautiful pool sparkles in the sun, and the outdoor living space is perfect for hosting friends and family. The sprawling green lawn is where the kids play freely, their laughter filling the air. We love entertaining here—there’s always so much to do, and our home feels warm, immaculate, and inviting for every guest who visits.

✨✨ I am so happy and grateful now that my family is able to travel the world together. Our options for transportation, destinations, and experiences are limitless. I am always filled with excitement and anticipation for our next adventure. Sometimes it’s just my husband and me, reconnecting on a romantic getaway; other times, we travel with the kids, extended family, or close friends, creating lifelong memories together. Our children embrace each new culture with curiosity and gratitude, growing into compassionate, open-minded citizens of the world. Every journey brings us closer as a family, and I love the joy and wonder we share exploring this beautiful planet.

The last part of my daily manifestation practice is to choose one scene to meditate on. Today I am going to imagine my family and I enjoying a day at a resort in Virgin Gorda called Oil Nut Bay. I have found pictures online of the exact villa we will stay in. As I imagine, I am going to use my five senses to bring the scene to life. Here are a few pictures that I will use for inspiration.

I’m wrapping up today with 30 to 60 minutes of reading from this book. I’ll let you know what insights come up tomorrow! That’s it for Day 1—cheers to 364 more days of manifesting greatness ahead!
