My mojo got a boost early into January when I was really
quite down one evening missing my father who died a few years ago. I was watching some youtube videos about
quantum physics and energy ( I love science and anything spiritual) and I came
across one about the power of prayer. I am not religious in a so called god per
say, but I do believe we are all energy and vibration, so we are all in fact
this so called god, not a higher source.
We are the source. Also I was
looking at spiritual retreats and places to visit in peru as this is something I
have always wanted to do. So anyway I
thought I would give praying a shot.
Before my dad died I
asked him to prove to me that my beliefs were correct and that energy cannot be
killed so somehow when you die your ‘soul’ or self sort of lives on. He promised me under his giggle that he would try. He was not really a believer. I did the
usual trips to spiritualist churches and spoke to some mediums but nothing gave
me the proof I wanted. I told my dad to spook me or talk to me
through mediums with something only he and I would know. He used to call me a silly name and if I ever
hear that spoken from a medium I would have a heart attack. Well there was nothing, no ghost, his
sculpture hasn’t never cried (I made a bust of my dad and asked him to make it
cry or something silly (we loved the show Only fools and Horses - remember the crying Virgin Mary sculpture)). But nothing
has ever given me proof that he is around me. I stopped
believing and became skeptical for the first time in my life. Anyway out-loud I sort of prayed to my dad and
‘god’ asking to be helped in some way. I
think I had a little tear in my eye as I was feeling so low for some
reason.
The next day I got a surprise in the post when a friend/colleague
sent me the book ‘Ask and it is Given’ by Ester and Jerry Hicks. It’s a book on
learning to manifest the law of attraction. It was just what the doctor ordered
really as for many years I have practiced it but this was a reminder I had
stopped. The book hasn’t really taught me anything I didn’t
know but it has been a nice reminder. For
those that don’t know what I am talking about, the law of
attraction is a thought philosophy where if you focus on positive thoughts
a person brings positive experiences to themselves and visa versa. That day I made myself take a lunch break and
started the book. The book was the most
perfect wonderful perfect timing gift to receive and since that day I have felt
100% better and like my old self. You can click here to search on amazon for the book.
The same day I got a phone call off a Shamen healer who is based in
Kent and offers trips to Peru. He was looking for some help on his website and
the night before I was looking for peru retreats! It seemed like someone was listening and my
prayers were answered immediately! Coincidence I hear the sceptics cry, well
maybe, but maybe I created these coincidences. I have always wanted to go to Peru as it’s the
place for so called 'spiritual awakening'.
It was reading the ‘Celestine Prophecy’ when I was much younger which
got me fascinated in Peru and all things spiritual. For me that book made
perfect sense and almost like the missing jigsaw piece in my view of the
universe. So getting a call off this
shaman learning about shamanism was like the pray answered again. I am now planning to go on this peru retreat later this year
with Andy Wood. Click here to learn what Shamanism is.
Since that night when I was at a low point the very next day it felt like my prayers were answered. I have again been using the law of
attraction to get what I want out of life. I am only doing what I have done with every aspect of my life really. We all create our life and experiences and if your life is feeling pretty crap, you only have yourself to blame. I was a drop out school at kid, left aged 15 without any qualifications. By 19 a single mum on benefits. Not the best start in life but by using the law of attraction I have always got what I wanted out of life. There has been plenty of haters and people giving me negative responses when talking about my dreams. During my degree I was seeing a chap who said I wouldnt get anywhere in IT as its a mans game. This I proved wrong. Again with my Art I have always had folk tell me I couldn't success as an artist, well again I am proving them wrong. I never listen to people and always believe completely and wholehearted in my dreams.
Those that know me will know I am a budding ceramic artist who would love to
earn a living from making and selling art all day everyday. Positive affirmation on way.. I WILL have my own art shop in a busy tourist area such as Iron bridge where I will be making my art of full display as well as selling my art and other art related products.
Well I am already doing quite well and supply my art to a number of
outlets and sell them online. But this
year I planned to get more stockists and get out there a bit more. Currently it’s a part time evening job and more
like therapy for me! It is very therapeutic
making and creating art and it has always been a back burner. Anyway without going into detail I have now
got a few more suppliers, I have been featured on the front cover of a couple
of magazines and been looking at properties in Iron-bridge. What this space. My art can be found here: https://www.cazamic.com/
Also my kitchen design is
soon to be an featured in Style at Home. A freelance journalist said she was looking for creative people who had designed a new kitchen or bathroom. Well oddly enough is was the stress I went through creating my own kitchen (read old post here) which brought me down. That and loosing a good friend and a coupld of other things which made last year not a great one. I always thought I would buy and sell property and believe I have an eye for design. Perhaps this feature is a sign that I could be interior designer - another choice i have going forward.
Another dream I have is visiting more locations around the world on holiday. I go on holiday with my mate Claire who is a bit of a traveler, she will leave the country at the drop of a hat. We have been to Iceland, Greece, New York and lots of other places. Our next jaunt is to a two day and 2 night trip to Skellig Islands in South West Ireland. I have been to Dublin in Ireland before but after seeing the islands on Star War we both decided that would be our next trip. So we are heading on a Skellig Michael tour with Brit Movie Tours. Another tour I plan to do is a walking tour in paris by Set in Paris.com. I went to Paris during an Art Access course years ago and visited all the top sites. I remember having a very odd experience in Notre Dame and would love to experience it again. As soon as I walked into the building I felt its energy so much it was breathtaking and I just has to sit and marvel at the surroundings. It was very peaceful but buzzing.
I have also been invited to Egypt with a group of friends for a week of sun in April. I have a friend who seems to love Egypt and every year they go. I myself wouldn't choose to visit Egypt again as I feel like I have been there done that and want to discover other countries. But unless I choose to holiday alone, beggars cant be choosers. Plus its a good crowd and it will be a much needed sunshine break even it if will be my 4th or 5th time to Egypt.
So its all happening for me this year, but its only because I am creating it. We all create our lives and have complete control over what we bring into our lives. Just remember this folks. If you dont belive me try it yourself. Remember ' to accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe'. Great saying there. Don't know where it comes from but its so true. Get thinking and creating the life you want to life, I am living proof we can all achieve great things, regardless of where we come from.
