Right now I am trying to share my work with the Law of Attraction and positive Affirmations with N. It is hard to be positive and working on asking the universe for all the things I want when your partner is focusing on the lack and is not too happy about it. Now N is a man and would not be seen dead reading one of those positive attraction self help books so I am trying to give him some exercises to get him out of the lack as I am sure he is attracting bad luck and I want that to go away fast. Yesterday for instance he received a fine from the council for littering! $300 fine, money just thrown away!

So tonight I gave him this exercise:

1. Think and remember how it felt when something wonderful happened. It doesn’t matter what it is. It could be making the girls laugh, or when Moana said da-da last week or even driving your favourite car (he is mechanic after all). Whatever it doesn’t matter.
2. How does it make you feel?
3. Now hold onto that feeling of good and swap that memory to the thing you want. That is what you do. Request to the universe what you want but keep holding onto that feeelling.

He did entertain me with giving it a go. I am no expert but I am hoping if I encourage him enough it will be a good start.

The workshop that started me on my journey to gain some control over my life was delivered by K and Dr Michael at ConnectwithSpirit, The Art of Manifesting Workshop. What I love about these manifesting and subsequent meditation classes are the anecdotal stories people have. I am a sucker for reading Just Life magazine at the supermarket register or the hairdresser so I am always fascinated to hear these real life stories which K and Dr Michael have and how spirit and the Law of Attraction has worked for them.

Also during my research into the blog sphere I found a beautiful website, Abundance Tapestry, Manifest Abundance With Creative Self Alignment. Evelyn has some lovely posts on abundance, tips on how to overcome mental focus and blockages and anecdotal stories which I love. Her vision board is there too. Her post 7 Jazzy Ideas To Making Affirmations FUN is something I think will also work with N.  I think the make-believe mini exercises will work and I know he has images of cars for his business on his tool box and in the garage. Now we can work on the exercise above and have fun writing blank checks out.

I saw this viral YouTube video called Jessica’s Affirmation. I know it has gone around the internet lately but it will brighten up your day and if you ever need an affirmation boost just watch this.

Last note….however later on TV tonight despite my best efforts, when a voluptuous lady bounced onto screen, N commented on the lack of boobs and if the LOA exercise will attract bigger ones into his life. Jokingly he then wholeheartedly gave my little exercise ago with a silly grin while staring into the universe. Hmm maybe that boob job will come early after all.

Ok so boldly I best start my new blog with a list of my hearts desires and ask the universe what I want today.

I LisaD, use the full power of my intention and attention to create the following desires now:

1. Finances:

• I currently earn $200,000 a year.
• I won $500,000.
• I have a $1million share portfolio.
• I have a $2million property portfolio.

2. Home:

• I own a new family home on semi acreage with 4 bedrooms, study, 2 bathrooms, 2 lounge rooms and a gourmet gas stove kitchen. A deck wraps around to capture the sunlight for a peaceful time to read or enjoy a glass of wine at night. Our home is a place with family dinners by the fireplace and a lounge big enough to put up a nine foot real Christmas tree. At the back is a double shed for N and his cars and a pool to swim in at summer. A huge old tree stands tall ready for a new tree house which N is already making plans. We have a herb and veggie garden with sweet greens ready to be picked. Our home is warm and wonderfully ours to grow and be happy.

3. Relationships:

• We got married on a beach destination wedding. Moana and Adelaide will wear gorgeous while baby flower girl dresses and we will have two weeks to ourselves by the lagoon in a beachside villa.

4. Health and Body:

• I am gorgeous and healthy. My post pregnancy belly and bottom are sexy and slim.

5. Work:

• I am a successful business women who thrives on problem solving and project management.
• I own my own company.

6. Creative Expression:

• I am an Author of a successful book.
• I am an Artist with paintings in local galleries.

7. Travel/Adventure

• We have packed up the house and travelling around Australia in a caravan for one year.
• I have been offered a job overseas and we move and work in another country for a few years.
• We holiday in Europe.

8. Spiritual

• I have expanded intuitive awareness.

9. Special Intention

• N owns an auto mechanic workshop and it is very successful.

10. Gratitude

• I give thanks by tithing to my immediate friends and family.
• I give thanks to the community by managing special projects in awareness in mental health and children charities.

I trust that what I want; I will receive. Now the journey begins…

I have read a few books on Law of Attraction and selected a few of my favourites to share with you. Last week while the twins and I were treating ourselves to lunch at a coffee book store I picked up this one, Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting: The Power of Positive Feelings. Now I am only half way through this book so I can’t give you a full review but the reason I picked it up was something different from the other books I had read. “In our everlasting search to find more happiness in life we devour positive thinking books but the millions. But if those books truly hold the secrets to abundant and joyful life why do we keep buying new ones?” (P 1). This book shows you how to find that feeeeling the feeling or intuition of success and how to hold onto that positive vibrating energy which in effect when is high will meet other like energy bringing the attraction into reality.

So feeling good can be difficult when days are long and there is work to do, chores to do and groceries to pick up. What makes you feel good and how can you hold onto that feeling? Coincidently the other day I had my ipod on random shuffle on my hourly drive home from work and the good old beach boys starting playing;

“Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take you to

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama”

I might be a bit of a dag but I like that song. Why? Because in grade 6, my teacher would put the cassette on with this song and instead of the usual catholic songs we would sing this. Even today I have no idea why. She had the words neatly printed on the overhead projector and in chorus 30 eleven year olds would sing:

“Key Largo, Montego, baby, why don’t we go down to Kokomo

We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow

That’s where we wanna go, way down in Kokomo.”

Once my teacher even brought out the map of the world to point out all the locations in the song however the infamous Kokomo was never found. Where is it?

While we stumbled through line by line of the song we often looked at our teacher staring out the louvers of another Queensland school day.

“We’ll put out to see and we’ll perfect our chemistry

By and by, we’ll defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight, cocktails and moonlit nights

That dreamy look in your eye, give me a tropical contact high

Way down in Kokomo”

Now I am a little older and wiser I get quite nostalgic when I hear this song and instantly it gives me that warm fuzzy feeling of being high.  I wonder if my teacher ever found her Kokomo?

“Everyone knows a little place like Kokomo

Now if you wanna go to get away from it all

Go down to Kokomo“
