Day 4: Five Minutes, Big Magic

Y’all—I’m having the BEST day. Like, next-level, high-vibe, totally-connected-to-the-light-of-the-Creator kind of day. And honestly? It feels so good.

I can’t quite pinpoint what makes today different from yesterday. Maybe it’s the fact that my toddler didn’t wake me up as many times last night (bless!). But it’s more than that—I just feel calm. At peace. Happy. Certain. And somehow, this state of flow has managed to carry me through a full day of teaching, redirecting, and loving a class of 17 kindergartners. That alone is a miracle, if you ask me.

This morning, I decided to play 528HZ frequencies as ambient music in my classroom. Game changer. I swear it chills me out, and I’m hoping it does the same for my students. I notice I’m way less reactive when it’s playing—like my nervous system has taken a deep breath and finally exhaled. I feel more present, more patient, more aligned. It’s magic, plain and simple.

And then came a moment of unexpected stillness.

While heating up my lunch in the teacher lounge, I found myself with five whole minutes of stillness. No phone. No emails. No to-do list tugging at me. Just me and the microwave countdown. And instead of reaching for something to fill the space, I chose something different: visualization.

The chair I was sitting in reminded me of an airport terminal seat, and just like that—I closed my eyes and imagined that’s exactly where I was.

In my vision, it was spring break, and my family and I were at the airport, about to board a plane to St. John. My boys were glued to their devices (classic), the girls were stocking up on candy, and I was joyfully watching it all unfold. I imagined sipping a mimosa with my husband, boarding our first-class seats, and hearing steel drums welcome us upon arrival in St. Thomas.

I followed the daydream all the way onto the ferry bound for St. John—my heart bursting with joy as I pictured my kids squealing on the top deck, wind in their hair, eyes wide with excitement. I imagined arriving on the island where my husband and I made so many beautiful memories—dating, getting engaged, and eventually married there. And waiting for us? Two Jeeps to take us to our dream house for the week.

Just as I stepped into the front seat of one of those Jeeps—ding!—my lunch was ready, and I was snapped back into reality.

But the beautiful part? My reality is also something I’m deeply grateful for. And I know—truly know—that in order to receive the desires of my heart, I must be okay without them. I must be certain that what I seek is already mine. That the universe is always listening. That everything I want is in motion.

So I enjoy what is. I show up with joy. I do my best to connect my soul to Source. And I work to embody the same love and light that the Creator is made of.

Because magic isn’t just in the big moments—it’s in microwave countdowns and five-minute daydreams, too. ✨

Today I am grateful for:

☁️ The cloud cover and cooler temps—perfect weather for my afternoon walk.

💫 My husband’s shared interest in manifesting and Kabbalah. It’s so meaningful to grow together spiritually.

📚 My job. Teaching truly matters. Some of these kids will remember me—and the life lessons I’ve shared—for years to come.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 My parents. Their support has shaped so much of who I am.

💇‍♀️ My fresh haircut and highlights. When my hair looks good, I feel good—and that confidence carries into everything I do.

🛒 The grocery store just around the corner. It makes last-minute dinner plans a whole lot easier.

🌐 The internet. (Let’s be honest—it keeps life running.)

📖 Books. I love to read, and the insights I’ve gained—especially about the Law of Attraction—have been life-changing.

💪 A healthy body that lets me teach, parent, walk, clean, and do all the little things that add up to a full life.

👦👦👧👧👧 My children. Each of their personalities is such a gift. They bring me endless joy… even when they make me want to pull my hair out. 😉

Manifestation Practice:

✨ I am so happy and grateful now that my husband has found a job he truly loves. The hours are flexible, the work is fulfilling, and he’s thriving and growing within the company every day.

✨ I am so happy and grateful now that all of my children are thriving. They are joyful, kind, easygoing, helpful, and respectful—and I am incredibly proud to be their mom.

✨ I am so happy and grateful now that we are living in our dream home on the lake. It’s peaceful, beautiful, and filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

✨ I am so happy and grateful now that we have complete financial freedom, with millions of dollars in the bank and abundance continuing to flow to us with ease.

✨ I am so happy and grateful now that we travel the world together—exploring breathtaking places, embracing new cultures, and creating lifelong memories as a family.

✨ I am so happy and grateful now that I drive my dream car—a white Escalade that fits our family perfectly and feels like a luxury every time I get behind the wheel.

✨ I am so happy and grateful now that I work from home, doing what I love most—writing. My words inspire others, and my career brings both creative fulfillment and financial freedom.

Each day, I’m becoming more aligned with the life I’ve envisioned—because I know the more joy, gratitude, and certainty I carry in my heart, the closer it all comes. And honestly? It already feels like mine. ✨

The Reset

Welcome to my reset.

Over the last few years, this site has sat dormant, though the idea of it has bounced around in my mind almost constantly. There have been distractions. Life is busy. I have five kids and a full-time job teaching kindergarten. Most days, I’m overstimulated, tired, and tapped out.

But I know at my soul level that I need to be writing. I need to be visualizing, creating, and bringing my dreams to life. And I know they’ll manifest because of the effort I’m putting in now.

My kids and I are on spring break now. It’s been nice, and the break from our usual go-go-go lifestyle has been a welcome reprieve. But I want more. I want to show my kids the world. I want to load all five of them onto a plane—first class, of course—and whisk them away to a tropical island, sharing my love of travel and luxury destinations.

I’m not going to lie—life has been hard lately. And I know that writing it, thinking it, and saying it out loud might go against the Law of Attraction, but I feel like I need to be transparent so you all know where I’m starting from.

Over the past year, my husband and I have struggled tremendously. Our relationship has been tested, and we’ve seriously considered divorce more than once. Financial stress has become our norm, and to top it all off, my husband resigned from his job at the end of January and is currently unemployed.

It would be easy to give up. It would make sense to feel depressed and hopeless. And while we’ve felt those emotions deeply, we’ve managed to rise above them, stay positive, and remain certain that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

I wanted to share all of this so you can understand my purpose for writing every day. From here on out, my posts will be part of my work to manifest the life we’ve always dreamed of.

You may be wondering why I’m sharing this journey so publicly. I wholeheartedly believe we have the power to create our own reality, and I want to show you exactly how I’m doing it. And maybe—just maybe—you’ll feel inspired to do the same, so we can all live the joyful, prosperous, love-filled life we came here to experience.

Blogging also keeps me consistent. Ultimately, I want to write, dream, imagine, and create every single day—and this outlet inspires me to show up and do just that.

Can I do this for 365 days? I can. I will. And the miracles will unfold.

Next spring break, I’ll be posting from my terrace overlooking the Caribbean Sea—with my husband by my side and our five kids splashing in the pool, living the life we’ve dreamed of together.

Because in the end, it’s not just about the view or the destination—it’s about sharing it with the people I love most.

Day two of the New Year and I am feeling as optimistic as ever. I spent time last night talking with my husband about the importance of visualization and I love that he is onboard and actually does practice manifesting our future in his own way. I was quite surprised when he pulled out his laptop and showed me the entire blueprint for our future dream house that he has designed in his free time. I was impressed with not only his architectural skills but our shared vision for the overall aesthetic of the house, as well. Bring it on, Universe!

I also spent time before bed imagining the first time we invite our family friends over to tour our new house. I imagined walking them through the house, sharing wine by the fire pit, watching the kids swim in the pool, and an overnight stay in our guest rooms. I imagined us waking up to a fresh breakfast made by our chef and sharing laughs over coffee (perhaps a mimosa or two?) before seeing everyone off in our beautifully landscaped driveway.

I recently read that it is important to include movement in your visualizations, and I did feel that this particular practice elicited a genuine sense of joy and eagerness for the future.

Today I went to the hair salon to get a fresh do for 2021 and I practiced visualizing throughout my appointment. I imagined my new car parked out in the parking lot, I envisioned my regular visits to the salon and occasional home visits from the stylist. It was a very enjoyable process, and I must say that I am thrilled for what the future holds.

Cheers to a positive and joyful 2021!

I am so happy and grateful now that we have millions of dollars in the bank.

I am so happy and grateful now that we live in our dream house on the lake.

I am so happy and grateful now that I run a very successful business from home.

I am so happy and grateful now that we travel to luxurious, exotic destinations all over the world.

Until next time…

✌️ & good vibes

January 1st, 2021. Man that feels good to write. Renewal. Hope. Love. Joy. That is what I expect in this New Year. Life is a gift and I am making it my priority this year to wake up and be present. I won’t worry about that past or fret about the future. I will live in the now. I will joyously create. I will give my family the greatest gift there is- the gift of love, patience, and kindness. I will be the most positive and enthusiastic person I know. I will meditate and visualize. I will write and practice gratitude. This year will transform my life.

I was reading The Secret again this morning, because it’s message is easy to absorb and the information is straight to the point, and Bob Proctor recommended to begin each statement of gratitude like this, “I am so happy and grateful now that …”

It continues, “When you give thanks as though you have already received what you want, you are emitting a powerful signal to the Universe. That signal is saying that you have it already because you are feeling gratitude for it now. Each morning before you get out of bed, make it a habit to feel the feelings of gratitude in advance for the great day ahead, as though it is done.” –The Secret pg 80

So let’s try it out…

I am so happy and grateful now that we have millions of dollars in the bank.

I am so happy and grateful now that we live in our dream house on the lake.

I am so happy and grateful now that I travel all over the world.

I am so happy and grateful now that I work from home.

When I reread my statements, I close my eyes and visualize what it feels like to be in those moments. According to my reading, the visualizations and feelings that accompany my visualizations are the driving force behind the Law of Attraction.

What are you happy and grateful for? How do you feel when you visualize it in your mind? It feels so good to imagine.

Yesterday I realized that I need to improve upon two areas to help improve my vibration…. I tend to stress when I am running late, and I often wake up in the night and stress about future events (that may or may not ever happen). I need a plan to combat this in the future. I am pondering that today…

Yesterday I came up with a list of songs, memories, and places to raise my vibrational level when needed. I used it several times yesterday and it seemed to work. I will continue to fine tune that list today. What do you do to boost your mood when feeling down or negative?

Who wants to join me this January to kick start the year of your dreams? Step 1 is easy. Write down what you want every day in the form of gratitude statements (I am so happy and grateful now that I…). Take a moment to visualize each statement and really feel the joy that those visions elicit. Join me on Facebook each day to share your gratitude statements. Let’s kick off the New Year right and make 2021 the year that will transform our lives!

Until next time…

✌️ and good vibes
