Wild Blue Sky by Pam White
On August 13, Jenna Wogenrich challenged her readers to write down what they want. She said to write it down, print it and carry it with you. (You should read the whole of this blogpost!) So far, 71 people have left comments, each one more poignant, passionate and delicious than the next. I took her up on the invitation. Here’s what I wrote:
I want to sell my current home and move into one that feels right-sized for our work and our lives together, a place that has splendid views, some land – a place where I can bring my horses home when they retire. I want to feel financially free, light and abundant. I want to spread my work with horses and humans far and wide, to publish my book, to help people find their own creative and playful selves through movement and animals. I want to spend at least 6 weeks a year by the sea. I want to engage, connect and love everywhere, every moment.
And then, as if the universe was listening (it is), here is what came to my inbox from Abraham today:
Law of Attraction abounds, and when it is said to you, “Ask, and it is given,” there is no more powerful statement that is at the basis of what makes things happen than that. Now, how is it that you think you ask? With your words? The Universe doesn’t hear your words. You ask with your desire. The desire that is born out of the contrast. That desire. That wanting. That’s what summons the Life Force.
What do you want? Tell Jenna, tell me.
What beautiful way to keep a vision statement precise and simple. Keep it short enough to keep in your pocket.
“I want to be financially and emotionally supported by my writing and creativity.” I suppose I would take the ‘I want to be’ off of the statement and simply say ‘I Am’. Then I would follow it with a belief that I must hold close in order for this to be “I am confident in the value I distribute through my writing. My writing is valuable to me and to others.”
What a great idea. Thanks for sharing this, Paula. I feel your house will be found after the wedding. Or maybe even during. When your mind is free to allow it.
