So, we were overdue for a family vacation, but every time my husband mentioned it, I kind of put it off. I was not looking forward to traveling with two little ones again, on airplanes while they fussed and required constant attention, and the planes would be delayed and miss their connections, and the flight crew would be totally rude and uncaring. This has all happened before. One of my worst trips ever we slept in the Denver airport overnight on the floor with an infant and newly pregnant with another. I can't even begin to tell you just how miserable that trip was and how terrible people were to us. Anyway....
We booked a trip to Orlando, FL to visit family and to do the Disney and Universal thing. Sounds fun, but I just kept thinking about how much work it was going to be. But I had to go.
So what I decided to do was write out our trip as though it already happened and tell about just how perfect our vacation was. Here is what I scribbled down in a notebook one night before bed:
"We just returned this evening from a totally awesome vacation to FL. I am so happy and grateful that our trip to FL went spectacularly well! All of our flights both to and from FL were on time. We were treated very nicely by the flight staff. The flights were all smooth and comfortable. The kids were in good moods, happy and kept themselves entertained on the flights. I even got a chance to relax and rest on the flights. We got our luggage quickly and in perfect shape. When we got to FL, we got our rental car quickly and drove to our hotel. The hotel was wonderful! The rooms were clean and beautiful. The staff was wonderful and very responsive. The pool was great! The water was perfect. The weather was also perfect the whole time we were in FL! And even more wonderful was that everyone was in perfect health the entire trip. Everyone felt strong, healthy and full of energy! We visited Magic Kingdom and had a beautiful day. The lines were short and we got to see everything we wanted to, including Minnie Mouse. We also had a perfect day at Universal Orlando with my parents. We got to see all the attractions we wanted and the lines were quite short! We also spent part of a day at the water park. We all had so much fun! The weather was perfect and there were a lot of fun things we got to do together there. We also had a nice day visiting with all the family for Henry's birthday. The food was geat and everyone enjoyed themselves. We had a wonderful trip!"
That pretty much sums up how our trip really happened! Oh, there were a couple little bumps in the road, but nothing that ruined our trip. There actually was bad weather on one day, but we worked around it and we still managed to do everything we wanted to do while we were there. All our flights were on time, and the kids were great travelers. I even got an entire row to myself on one of the flights! And I did get a little reading done as well. How nice! Despite the fact that it was spring break, and we ended up going to Magic Kingdom the day after the bad rain storms along with everyone else and it was totally packed, most of the lines were reasonably short for the attractions we wanted to see. Go figure! They were even shorter at Universal the following day. Everyone stayed healthy and we all had a great time. Oh, and usually the night before we leave for a vacation I don't sleep well, and then in the morning I usually have an upset stomach. But this time, I slept well, felt rested and felt full of energy!
I truly believe that by writing this out and reading it several times before our trip and visualizing in my head the perfect trip that it helped me to manifest it. I'm sure that if I focused on everything going wrong, it very easily would have.
So next time you're dreading doing something, write out a script of exactly how you'd like it to go as though it already happened. Read it over many times. See if you don't manifest an experience more like what you desire than what you've gotten in the past.

What Have You Manifested?
The Universal Laws work all the time, whether we're conscious of them or not. We may attract good things or bad things (in our opinion) and not understand why these things are coming into our lives. So, since the universal laws, and the law of attraction have been working for all of my life, I thought I'd take a look back and see exactly what I've manifested!
I'd like to share with you two major things I manifested into my life, before I even knew about the Universal Laws and the Law of Attraction.
The first BIG thing I manifested was my move from to CA. When I was 16, I visited CA and thought it was amazing and wonderful and felt that I HAD to move here. When I was in college I bought one of those large panoramic posters of the city of San Francisco and had it laminated. I hung it prominently over my bed where I saw it several times a day. When I graduated college the poster came with me and it hung over my bed there as well where I saw it every morning when I woke up and every night as I went to bed. At some point, I decided to answer some job ads out in California. I got a call to come out for an interview in the SF Bay area. I flew out, did the interview, went back to my hotel and got a call later the same day offering me the job! I accepted it, flew home, packed up my car with my belongings and moved out here! That was 14 years ago! Yes, it took several years to actually manifest that dream, but I did it, and without really doing anything specific to make it happen. Things take more time when we're not consciously focusing on manifesting them.
The second BIG thing I manifested that I hadn't even realized at the time was my husband. How? I was a single girl in my 30's and ready to settle down but things just weren't falling into place. I read the book "Finding True Love" by Daphne Rose Kingma and one of the exercises in it was to write a list to the Universe about what exactly I wanted in the perfect mate. I did that exercise (7-20-1998), wrote it all down, and put it aside. It wasn't until somewhat recently (several years later) that I found that notebook with the list written down inside it. I was amazed when I read how it described my husband's qualities exactly! Well, OK, he has a beard and I hadn't specified that I wanted someone with no facial hair, but it wasn't a deal breaker and I'm rather fond of it now. What matters is that the Universe delivered a person with the qualities that I DID specifiy. I find it truly amazing! I met my husband almost exactly one year after I wrote that list. At the end of the list I wrote down the note "Your soul knows the timing. True love WILL show up, when the time is right." It took a year for him to come into my life, but I got exactly what I wanted and when I was ready for him.
Now, as I said in the beginning, we have actually attracted EVERYTHING into our lifes that we're currently experiencing. But if you're like me, most of it was unconscious. I've attracted some good things and I've attracted some less than desirable things. But now that I'm armed with the knowledge about how the law of attraction works I can be an active participant in my manifesting. I know that this is not something that we become experts at overnight, but I'm excited about the prospect of being a part of manifesting my dream life!

Honest Review - The 11 Forgotten Laws
I have finished listening to all 12 sessions of the audio course "The 11 Forgotten Laws" with Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey. I have listened to each session at least two or more times so far. I truly enjoy listening to them as they are uplifting and inspiring. And they completely explain the Law of Attraction (and all the laws) in terms that are very easy to understand.
The 11 laws include: The Law of Thinking, Supply, Attraction, Receiving, Increase, Compensation, Non-Resistance, Forgiveness, Sacrifice, Obedience, and Success.
This is not a program where you purchase it, listen through it one time and then become an expert. This is definitely something that you'll want to listen to over and over. As well, you will want to continue your education of the laws with further readings.
This course also comes with the ebook "Working With the Law" by Raymond Holliwell which is really what the audio sessions go off of. Each audio session discusses a chapter and a law from the book.
My only disappointment is that I'm left feeling a little bit like "now what do I do?" Yes, there is a "workbook" if you can call it that. There are questions to answer after each chapter/audio session to help make sure you understood the messages they were trying to get across. But I'm a person who needs a little more hand holding. This information is absolutely wonderful, but now I need to know what to do with it. I have found myself going back to my copy of the book "Ask and It Is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks for some practical exercises in the Law of Attraction.
I definitely recommend finding an opportunity to listen to "The 11 Forgotten Laws" to enjoy their straightforward explanations of how the laws of the universe work.

The 11 Forgotten Laws
Being a person who craves to learn more and more, especially about the Law of Attraction and making it work like second nature in my life, I have recently begun to listen to the audio program The 11 Forgotten Laws. This is a program put out by Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey. They explain that the Law of Attraction talked about in the movie "The Secret" is incomplete, and that without knowledge and understanding of the rest of the laws, getting the LOA to work for you in your life might be disappointing. Anyone who watched that movie was likely inspired and relieved to know that we can change our lives and manifest our dreams. But it's hard to do with only part of the information.
The 11 Forgotten Laws explains the other laws of the universe which you must understand in order to make the Law of Attraction work most optimally. Listening to Bob and Mary talk is quite soothing and inspiring at the same time. They are very clear and easy to understand. I'm very happy I found this program to help me get the most out of manifesting my dream life. I love to read books and have gained a lot from them, but sometimes a great audio lecture that can be listened to over and over is very helpful as well. I have the downloadable digital version with access to the online workbook and frankly, that's all I need. Had I purchased the CD's, I would have put them all onto my computer and onto my ipod anyway!
Take a peek and see if this isn't something that might help you to better understand the Law of Attraction and how it works with all the laws of the universe. Perhaps this is just the thing to make working with the law of attraction finally click for you.
Happy manifesting!

January 2009 Update
Gosh, I can't believe it's been over 2 months since I last posted. I got very busy with the holidays and with a lot of other stuff I've attracted into my life!
I am still doing a lot of reading about Law of Attraction and trying to keep it at the forefront of my mind as I go through my days. But I'm also doing a lot of other reading related to things I've attracted!
I fully intend for my son to become completely healthy in 2009 and no longer live on a restricted diet, medications, and have doctor visits and hospital procedures. I have bumped into EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) in the past, but it was brought to me again. This time I took a better look and have begun to practice EFT for myself and my family. In going down the EFT road, I also met some people to support me, one in particular who has been where I currently am in terms of my child's health. She's been very helpful in getting me on a plan and also introduced me to the work of another person respected in the allergy and EFT arena whose works I need to finish reading and practicing. Then, I was contacted by someone about enzymes helping my son's condition. So I've been reading and researching that and am excited to get started with that aspect of improving his health as well!
My point is, I don't think that these things would have come to me had I not asked for answers to my questions and had a strong intention to make some progress in my son's health instead of just sitting around waiting for the next doctor visit. There is still so much to read and do and it's quite time consuming, but it's all worth it.
So that is what I've been up to! What have you attracted into your life so far since you've started working with the Law of Attraction?
