Have you ever wondered about the power of manifestation?  I was browsing through my feed and read something striking.  "Everything we have in our hands right now is a product of our minds." So, it is important to guard our thoughts.  It was then that I realized that everything around me really is a realization of what I truly prayed for.   I was reading up on it and I found this guide on manifesting.  I have compressed it into a list.  But, if you want to read more about it, scroll down to the source.  Maybe this will help you manifest what you want and need in your life. 1. Give yourself permission to want what you want. 2. Be really willing to receive. 3. Be willing to doubt your doubts. 4. Pick and choose who you share your dreams with. 5. Do your best to keep your vibration up. 6. Take inspired action. 7. Strive to rise above jealousy. 8. Use a mantra to deal with your current less-than-ideal situation. 9. Trust your soul’s path. 10. Do your inner work. Source:   https://

This pandemic has forced us to find joy and excitement in the simplest things.  The things we took for granted pre-pandemic give us a great deal of joy now.   What is my source of joy on a usual blah Thursday? ... a bottle of Toffee Nut Syrup for my coffee ... a long-overdue massage ... one-on-one coaching ... words of affirmation and appreciation ... words of encouragement ... organizing my closet space ... ripe mangoes ... mildly scented soaps ... successful food experiments  ... the anticipation of family gatherings in the coming days Gosh, now that I've listed them down, there are so many things to be grateful for.  What gave you joy today?

I am so proud of myself.  I've been restraining myself. Today, I went to the mall and visited my usual stops. I just bought what we needed: boxers for the eldest, sewing materials and groceries.  There were things that I liked but left them at the store.  Even the pair of boots that I've been eyeing was marked down.  I still didn't budge.  I knew that I have no use for them. I think I am getting good at this.   ----------------- So, what's going on in my head?  I remember hearing that people who have the means tend to be greedy.  If we keep on feeding that greed, it will never stop.  I never want to be greedy.   You know what they say, "nip it in the bud."
