How to know if you'll manifest something

 How to know if you’ll manifest something: 


“You go first.” This is my favorite manifestation advice of all time. You go first means, when you’re wanting to create something, live in something, conjure something, it is up to you to go first to make it happen. When you are merely sitting back and waiting to be rescued, waiting to be done for by the Universe without having put any energy forward yourself, you’re living in victim or wounded child energy.


The reason this works is…you’ve likely heard you attract what you are. That can seem daunting when you feel totally separate from, and in some cases, the opposite of, what you want to attract. Another way to think of it is like this:


What have you cultivated in your field? What have you done over and over again so that it is part of who you are, it is part of why people seek you out, it is woven into how you feel, it is what you are known for? 


When you are seeking consistency and you have been living in chaos, your field is filled with chaos. You’re the person someone goes to when they want radical ideas and rebellion and system-breaking. You’re not the person someone goes to when they want to know how to have reliable passive income for the next 23 years. Same with the energy of reliability. It doesn’t feel at home in your space.


When you’re trying to practice peace and calm but you scream every time you’re upset with a customer service person, you are likely playing out high-octane dramas in other parts of your life as well. You don’t yet know how to anchor into peace and calm.


So…you go first. When you want reliability, what can you do reliably over and over each day? How can you show yourself you are reliable to you? How can you show others you are reliable to them? What system can you set up that reliably executes an action for you that brings you closer to your dream ($20 comes out of every paycheck and is auto-invested for your kids’ college fund). 


You go first - you want peace and calm. What feels peaceful? What feels calm? How often can you do that? How can you train your nervous system to return to that rather than returning to drama and anger? 


You want to know how you’ll manifest something? Yes, you become the thing. You become the thing by going first and getting closer and closer and amplifying more and more what you’re calling in. You become known for that thing. Your energetic field is suffused with that energy, and the way you are, the things you do, the way you relate, the way you act, the way you show up becomes consistent with your new trajectory. 


What is your field holding right now? What are you known for? What do you feel like? What is your default setting? How is that creating your current reality?

When my identity fails

I don’t know if failure is the right word, but as I sit here in Denver again, settling into the space I’ll be occupying for the next three weeks, I recognize the mushiness that comes with unclaimed identity. I realize I have, and had to, de-crystalize who and what and where I was before this adventure.  It was time to leave Arizona. Anyone who knows me well has heard it on my lips again and again, but there was always one more mission, one more reason to stay. I think I also had to truly fall in love with the desert, which I did over the last 6-8 years I was there, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.  This year, though, 2025, I was done. Every time I considered doing something I used to enjoy in Arizona, I felt nothing. No spark, no curiosity, no joy. The desert had given me everything it could. It was time to go to Colorado. I’ve thought of Colorado off and on for 18 years. The first time I remember was in 2007 when Fort Collins was named one of the best places to live for ...

A bit of a pulp narrative

Image
 My life got really out of balance. I got to several points of having no money, very little daily movement (only short walks with Deena), almost zero socializing, an incredibly significant amount of weight gain (it jumped up when I quit smoking, and has stayed up because my body is so out of balance). So much was stagnant. I was trying to push something forward that just wasn't moving, and I kept doubling down on pushing which just doubled my devastation that it wasn't moving. So then I moved 7/20-8/9 - Break for Colorado. 1st sit in Denver. Got my ass to Colorado. Gave me 3 weeks to hunt for jobs. Found the job title I wanted to go after. Hunted places to live until I realized I wasn't ready to settle somewhere yet.  8/9-8/14 - Trusting in the Trees. 2nd sit in Woodland Park (Colorado Springs, up the mountain). When this came through I realized this might actually work. Perhaps my ability to always find a place to land is something I can just rely on and not worry about. D...

The sides of a 45 yo child staying with her parents for a week for the first time in 27 years

The part of me that dissociates when my parents are having an inane fight that is actually just my stepdad hitting his extremely low tolerance of things not being exactly as he wants them to be The part of me that feels haunted when I’m being nearly chased around the house with constant criticisms on what I’m doing wrong and how I’m fucking up their very measured existence. For example, filling an ice cube tray and having my mom watch over my shoulder to make sure I’m doing it right or leaving the bathroom fan on to clear out the smell after I shit and having my mom run behind me to turn it off not to waste electricity The part of me that enjoys playing games with my mom, getting a little competitive and talking a little shit in fun The part of me that hates playing games with my mom because when things don’t go exactly her way she starts blaming the game, me, the cards, the whatever The part of me that still experiences satisfaction when either of them want to spend time with me The p...
