Yes Please by Amy Poehler

Book Review

First autobiography for me, Amy Poehler is a comedian that started with improvisation and now is a big actress and comedian. She takes on a trip of her life, on how she started and all her struggles in a very “laid back” kind of way, that makes it an easy and fast pace read.

I listened to the audiobook and she reads it herself, which makes it more appealing and also has a few special guests in there that we can all enjoy. If you think this is a book about her tragic life, its not, however its fun and it has some good points to reflect on.

Quotes I liked:

“ Good for her! Not for me. That is the motto women should constantly repeat over and over again”

“I think we should stop asking people in their twenties what they “want to do” and start asking them what they don’t want to do.”

“Hopefully as you get older, you start to learn how to live with your demon. It’s hard at first. Some people give their demon so much room that there is no space in their head or bed for love. They feed their demon and it gets really strong and then it makes them stay in abusive relationships or starve their beautiful bodies. But sometimes, you get a little older and get a little bored of the demon. Through good therapy and friends and self-love you can practice treating the demon like a hacky, annoying cousin. Maybe a day even comes when you are getting dressed for a fancy event and it whispers, “You aren’t pretty,” and you go, “I know, I know, now let me find my earrings.” Sometimes you say, “Demon, I promise you I will let you remind me of my ugliness, but right now I am having hot sex so I will check in later.

May May Knock My Door
By: Isti Toq'Ah
Tags: Autobiography, Home, Death, Memoir, Life

Source: JSTOR Daily

"Hide aways, they say, because we don't want your broken parts. I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars. Run away, they say, no one'll love as you are. But I won't let them break me down to dust. I know that there's a place for us." (Keala Settle)

Whenever May approaches and almost knocks my door, I feel the wound of huge void within my soul. I lost a teacher — not just in term of academic, but also life — nine year ago, 19th of May, 2012. His name is Sulaiman Abdulmanan. That date is a day before the annual commemoration of National Awakening Day. And that day always reminds me of him because how selfless he was thinking about the meaning of freedom of thought in relations to human rights. It would be a very long story and I won't feel okay just to write his story in a single brief piece.

Before the pandemic, usually I always tried my best to visit him, his graveyard. You may call me weird because I obsess to not solely visit, but also kiss and sleep beside his place — cemetery. For me, it is the most beautiful and peaceful garden I've ever known. It gives me the sense of comfort and safety. It's green. It's humble. It's homey.

I know it's strange that I call it homey though I hesitate to be buried one I die. I keep thinking about cremation because of two reasons: simplicity and efficiency. Simplicity means I want to totally and fully live this earth, this world when I die. I would like my ash to be blown by the wind. If it's possible, in the forest near by the sea (so far I keep thinking about Costa Rica because it always feels like my second home). Then, efficiency, here is in the sense of: after cremation, nobody has duty to take care of my graveyard, no body needs to pay the tax and/or cost of the maintenance of my cemetery.

"If I cannot live this homeland country to save my one life, I better take my life than they do it for me…"
Opening lines from my autobiography

‘AWAKE IN THE DREAM’

Prelude:

So here it is. My journey into inner space, a voyage in concentric circles, inward bound. One great teacher would have called it a ‘chemical awakening’ — an initiation into the transcendental realms of an inner-spatial ‘renaissance’ — A rebirth.

Providentially well set up, one day of reckoning burst through the veiled ignorance of linear passing time; the clocks ticking in and around the circle of one unfolding story.

The initiation — February/March1970…

Touring the States, with a band we called Renaissance. Prophetic?…. approaching the final stages of a coast to coast concert adventure that began in Philadelphia, with New York, up soon after — 5 nights at the Fillmore East, the Shangri-La of Rock music on the East coast. That experience was significant too, and will be shared — of how a bereft child’s lucid imagination had set the tone for a realised dream, a visualisation told to no-one, that came to light more than a decade later — within the vortex of a series of sky-bound daydreams projected from a school laboratory window.

But this part of the story begins on the West coast, in the final stages of the journey, at the twin Rock Shangri-La –The Fillmore West, in San Francisco…

My first tour of America — in contrast to my dear friends and colleagues, Keith Relf and Jim McCarty, who had toured there extensively with the Yardbirds.

Our totally innovative new band had been received well, with few exceptions.

The blessing of a warm and enthusiastic audience in Chicago an example of how a most mundane school day can be transformed, with focused thought and a vision to match. All fine then, or so it seemed — until the crest of the wave I was cruising on, spun itself into a whirlpool.
Lorena
Tags: Minimum Wage, Autobiography, Service Industry, Essay, Oxford

She was wiping down the espresso maker as she saw the café owner walking towards her. His eyes fixed on her hand’s movements and she realised how phallic the steamer looked under his gaze. She protested by turning the hot air back on and letting it purge. Lorena wasn’t a rebel. She didn’t really have an issue with authority figures. She did have an issue with managers who threw tantrums. Steve often banged his fists on the kitchen table behind the scenes, his balding head turning beetroot red, as he cursed his way through the latest qualm. Lorena thought he looked like a leprechaun when he acted this way. She knew intuitively that Steve did this to intimidate them, especially the younger staff. He wanted to seem unhinged, so no one ever dared to ask him anything. Initially she had been confused when he had explained the simplest concepts to her, slowly and overtly worried. She caught on though, when he first said: “not to be sexist but women are always better at keeping things tidy in my experience.. so that’s why I don’t ask the guys anymore. I’ll just ask you to keep this counter all spick and span, can you do that dear?” Ah, one of those.

Not a unicorn unfortunately. Not even endangered.

The job was relatively stress-free however, and she was home in time to make a nice dinner every night. After two years in the pub, this was a welcome luxury. Lorena continued her job search on her days off but found it hard not to get discouraged. She had a master’s degree in ancient history and after a short stint as a research fellow, she had come back to Oxford. Everyone here seemed overqualified and multi-degreed and was trying to make it in this academic Hollywood just as much as she was.

When the leaves started turning, Lorena thought about how her life had tipped into the other side of her twenties. She poured the fifteenth chai latte of the day and noticed a glimpse of yellow in the corner of her eye. Chiquita, an Oxford icon, had strolled into the café with her colourful garbs and extravagant hairdo. This woman always looked as if she had a basket of fruit mysteriously tangled up in there. Lorena had seen Chiquita perform a powerful poem at an open mic once. She had talked about the word “cunt” and how it referred to “kundalini”, the female root of power. She had declared that women should reclaim the word. She had then proceeded to ask the entire audience to stand up and shout out the word together: “CUNT”. Lorena smiled. That had been a great evening, and better times.

Seeing Chiquita made her realise how there were many ways to make a difference in the world. She could become a published reference book author, and help future researchers with their work. Or she could become a kooky witch, brightening up people’s days wherever she went. Or she could go home, and make another wonderful meal for her family. She was fully grown yet so young. She wouldn’t work for Steve forever. Whatever life would throw at her, she knew she could handle it. Like a cunt.

About Me— Ossai Ceejay

"If you're not into dark humor, if you're a delicate snowflake, if sarcasm offends you, get ready to hate me — a lot" Ossai Ceejay Sep 6·2 min read

Photo Credit: Author

That statement has always been some sort of disclaimer, a heads up I always give people who want to know me more, and so far, it has helped me regulate my friendship circle.

Apart from my sense of humor, I’m also deeply in love with writing. I started writing when I was 16, I clocked 20 this year and those 4yrs writing have been memorable.

I started off with creative writing, crafting short stories for my classmates, after which I joined wattpad where I wrote pretty decent stories that even trended (the genre was crime)

Photo Credit: Author

After discovering how time sapping creative writing was, I abandoned wattpad and began blogging where I specialize in science, health, weird facts, scientific hypothetical situations, and nature.

It was the urge to spread my tentacles and broaden my horizons that led me to quora, and then eventually, Medium.

I'm a paying member, and I don't for one second regret those 5 bucks, I love it here, I love the warmth and constructive criticism I receive here, and I would love to give back to you all as well.

Apart from my writing, here's a brief summary of who I am:

I’m very clumsy. Not just clumsy clumsy but hate yourself kind of clumsy.

2. I have anxiety issues. Most of the time, what I worry about makes absolutely no sense but it can still be enough to keep me up at night.

3. I have a photographic memory.

4. Chewing sounds disgust me. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! I could drive a fork into your eye if you chew loudly close to me.

5. I stutter when I’m nervous.

6. I don’t believe in zodiac signs, and I’m still puzzled as to why anyone does.

7. I have a sloppy handwriting.

8. I’m trypophobic and also claustrophobic, the mere thought of being in a small closed space gives me anxiety.

9. I talk to myself, a lot! It scares me sometimes.

10. I’m scared of dogs

11. I love watching crime dramas like CSI

12. I’m quite short tempered

13. I’m a foodie

14. My hearing’s not so good (prolonged headphones usage)

I really hope some of y’all can relate to me 😊
I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH MY DARK SKIN

I HAVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH MY DARK SKIN

As a sensitive youngster trying to navigate society, I have always been embattled by its demands from me. I tried to live up to its expectations while causing damage to my body and soul so I could be rewarded with validation from the same society that seems to take from me. It’s saddening,I know,but like so many others,I became stuck in a vicious cycle of manipulation where the more society ignored me, the more I craved it’s attention. Unbeknownst to a lucky me, I was on a journey for my answer at the end of the tunnel. I have reached the tunnel’s end and I have found liberation. I’ve found the remedy to my ailment,the balm to my soul and the calm to my mornings. I have fallen in love with my Dark skin.

I don't know when or how this happened to me. I do not know if this change is sudden or gradual. All I know is that I am now awestruck by the face that stares back at me in the mirror. I become entranced when I notice the sun gleaming with glee as it caresses my skin which in turn beams it at others in the right places. I'm obsessed with the way my skin glows against any background like an artwork of oil on canvas.

I am intrigued with the way my skin glorifies whatever colour that touches it; automically transforming the seemingly ordinary into something magnificent just like magic. Magic. My skin is Magic. Every mark, crease and corner is soaked full of wonders and delightfully hidden treasures. Treasures that make me chuckle in awe anytime I make their discovery. Treasures that suprise me and pacify me. Wonders that console me and validate me.

I now notice how my skin commands obedience and nothing less with the grace reminiscent of Nefertiti. A canvas so divine that it disallows to be tainted with just any colour. A canvas that demands the right tone,hue and shade. One that demands the right amount in the right proportion under the right conditions to produce nothing less than the best results. One that refuses to emit anything other than the ultimate exhibit.

I now notice how my skin is best at its natural form. One that is free of any form of artificial decoration while it’s soaked in natural oils and drenched in melanin. Every part working together to pay homage to the deity that is Beauty. From the crooked eyebrows to the pimple spots dotted across to the rightly proportioned nose to the full juicy lips topped with a beamin Opọn Ori(forehead) that puts the sun to shame. The lean arm and long legs sitting majestically on a rotund shapely torso; one passed only through my black ancestry. All crowned with a mane of glorious wooly hair. A crown so specific for me in its colour and shape that it can’t fit anyone else.

A body worthy of admiration and adoration. A beauty akin to Mother Earth itself. Apon bepo rẹ, Eleyinju Ẹgẹ. A dazzling skin colour that would make the palmoil jealous capped by eyes that sparkle. A totally divine combination. A beautiful gift that keeps on giving. My favourite gift from God.
WAS AFRICA AN AFTERTHOUGHT?

WAS AFRICA AN AFTERTHOUGHT?

I am excited to begin my writing journey on Medium and I will begin with a few questions.

Have you as a person of African descent ever wondered what you inherited from your African ancestors? Have you ever wondered if Africa was a part of the grand scheme of things or an afterthought after the creation of the rest of mankind?

These thoughts have crossed my mind several times. Now, do you know what I did with those thoughts? I did not let them remain as thoughts. I sought and got my answers.

Answers to Africa’s place in the world. Answers to Africa’s role in world civilisation. Answers to Africa’s plan in the grand scheme of things. What are your own questions about Africa? My answers and yours are found in Africa’s history.

Come with me to explore the amazing and inspiring history of Africa. Not to worry. I am still promoting children's reading, with a touch of African history which the children will love.

P.S- This is the appetiser. The main course will be served shortly. As we say in our local parlance 'It will be served to you as e dey hot'. See you soon.

Find your Destiny
By: Trinity Anthony
Tags: Women, Stereotypes, Law, African American, Freedom

When we are captivated by the world around us, we dream big. When asked, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” the question that springs on to children at a young age, We come up with a myriad of prospective responses, Astronaut, Firefighter, Politician, Singer, Dancer, Lawyer, Actor, Musician, etc. To name a few that shapes our minds into whom we want to be in the future. Thinking back on my everlasting days as a young child growing up in a predetermined world, I would have never said “Lawyer” this was nothing but a reminder that I never saw any female African American politicians. I always saw politics as a home for male white men. Since I did not see it, I did not believe it. But the wondering questions always planted into my brain. “Is there a place for me in law?”

I scoured classrooms, pages, films, and the world around me to find fellow African American women who paved the way and cast a light for all-female African Americans to believe they serve a place in law. I came up with the conclusion that there is an absolute place for me. Now at age 17, I do dream of becoming a lawyer at some point in my career.

The typical constructive adjectives you would describe a lawyer is of the following qualities: Honest, Bold, and Energetic. There is a seemingly cemented stereotype notion from an extensive history of marginalization and suppression that African American women are biased, timid, and lazy, thus, incapable of being leaders. Negative connotations like these put a dent in our minds. It could potentially lead to them overshadowed by the public. I will not accept this. I will not allow someone to dictate who I am and who I want to become or confine me to labels. We can all be Honest, Bold, and Energic no matter who we are. Being an African American woman in a white male-dominated world is not a personality trait that is screaming “I’m different” Being a Black POC is my identity.

We must lift each other and encourage other women of color and general people of color interested in politics. Our cultural differences are what bring us together. It will ensure our seats are at the table. We will march together, hand in hand, to change our society to become more inclusive for us and the future before us.
Black reality
By: Sueleen Souza
Tags: Black Women Writers, Ancestors, BlackLivesMatter, Ancestry, African American

We black people have to choose what is more important to dedicate ourselves everyday, for our lives don’t follow the holistic pattern. For us, mainly when gender and social class are considered, it is offered the minimum amount of everything.

If we have education, maybe food and other supplies will not be enough, because there is no possiblity to work.

If we have jobs, it might not have enough time to study and get a better job, cause the actual one doesn’t offer health insurance. And even if we have jobs, it does not necessarily mean we earn enough money to buy food and other supplies, because there is still rent to pay and some other bills. I don’t think I need to talk about love here. We already know how this can be difficult to get in a world like we live in.

They build us to believe we always need something else, because we do not have the same conditions of our white earth colleagues after all. They treat this matter like it is wrong to be born black. They make us believe Africa is a poor continent and there is just poverty there. Have you ever been to Africa at least once? Or do you just know about it what TV has been showing you?

I want to digest all this bullshit. I can’t take so many lies anymore. We are beautiful and kind people. We’ve been on Earth longer. And where is the Earth’s heart? Don’t you think that’s why we black people are so connected with nature? Earth is in our hearts.

We’re very strong and, beyond that, totally capable to change our future. We are the ones who live our present, not them. I know it is hard, but we are capable of living a good life. Just try to go back and look into our roots. There are too many ancestors who fought to pave the way for us to live longer and better lives. They made it. We will so. We are smart people. Rescue the ancestral knowledge within you.
The White Man’s Cruelty

Denied the right to basic necessities — Equiano watches as the white crew throw food into the ocean in jest of the starving slaves

Photo by Austin Neill on Unsplash

Equiano’s journey to America is about to begin. It’s a journey fraught with peril. But he must first be introduced to the slave ship’s ‘hospitality.’

“I was soon put down under the decks, and there I received such a salutation(stench) in my nostrils as I had never experienced in my life: so that, with the loathsomeness of the stench, and crying together, I became so sick and low that I was not able to eat, nor had I the least desire to taste anything.”

All hope of being treated kindly was gone. Death was a better option than what he had to endure…

“I now wished for the last friend, death, to relieve me; but soon, to my grief, two of the white men offered me eatables; and, on my refusing to eat, one of them held me fast by the hands, and laid me across I think the windlass, and tied my feet, while the other flogged me severely.”

He decided he would rather die than face this cruelty…

“I had never experienced anything of this kind before; and although, not being used to the water, I naturally feared that element the first time I saw it, yet nevertheless, could I have got over the nettings, I would have jumped over the side,..

Whipping and constant watching by the white crew became his new lifestyle…

“But I could not, the crew watched us closely, lest we leaped into the water: I have seen some of these poor African prisoners most severely cut for attempting to do so, and hourly whipped for not eating.”

Equiano wished he could sink into the ocean and end his misery…The fish had freedom to roam wherever they wished. His freedom had been violently taken away.

He was not allowed the comfort of sharing food leftovers with his new masters…They would rather throw the food into the ocean than give it to the slaves…

“Often did I think many of the inhabitants of the deep much happier than myself. I envied them the freedom they enjoyed, and as often wished I could change my condition for theirs. Every circumstance I met with served only to render my state more painful, and heighten my apprehensions and my opinion of the cruelty of the white people.

One day they had taken a number of fishes; and when they had killed and satisfied themselves with as many as they thought fit, to our astonishment who were on the deck, rather than give any of them to us to eat as we expected, they tossed the remaining fish into the sea again. We begged and prayed for some as well as we could, but in vain, some of my countrymen, being pressed by hunger, took an opportunity, when they thought no one saw them, of trying to get a little privately (stealing the food); but they were discovered, and the attempt procured them some very severe floggings. -

They got thrashed for wanting to stay alive….

Read on tomorrow as Equiano experiences the perils of the sea…
Virgil Abloh: A Streetwear Trailblazer Remixing Ideas from Art History’s Great Disruptors
By: High Museum Of Art

As a black creative making history in the luxury fashion world, Virgil Abloh references innovators like Duchamp and Caravaggio in his streetwear designs.

By Katie Domurat, Coordinator of Museum Interpretation, High Museum of Art

In the exhibition Virgil Abloh: “Figures of Speech,” there are numerous references to designer Virgil Abloh’s interest in art history and creative innovation. Sometimes he faithfully recreates a well known image in a new medium, or he simply refers to designs past when he uses similar shapes or forms. Some references are more blatant than others, which turns the exhibition into a scavenger hunt of innuendo, subtle admiration, and art historical commentary.

Let’s go through and analyze some of our favorite homages found in the exhibition.

MARCEL DUCHAMP’s FOUNTAIN

As you enter the exhibition, one of the first pieces you encounter is a portrait of Virgil Abloh taken by German photographer Juergen Teller. If you look closely at Abloh’s sweatshirt, you will see the text “R.Mutt” on his chest. This is an homage to French artist Marcel Duchamp and his ready-made Fountain from 1917 that he famously signed “R.Mutt.”

Duchamp created the concept of ready-mades, or mass-produced, commonplace objects selected and presented as artworks. At the time (the beginning of the twentieth century), this was a tough concept for the conventional art world to swallow. It brought up complex questions about how we define art and what it means to be an artist or an author of creative work. As an innovator in the fashion world, Abloh knowingly references this work and its history.
The day the Inquisition got played
By: Amanda Burkovski
Tags: Creativity, Art History, Censorship, Art, Renaissance

"Dude, I can swear this wine was water ten minutes ago," said one buffoon to another.

In addition to the usual twelve apostles, Veronese took the chance to add some servants (one with a very serious nose bleed), dwarves, drunkards, animals, women and buffoons, among other swaggers. Just for fun, I dare you to find the servant with the nosebleed, the apostle picking his teeth with a fork, a cat, a tropical bird and a man who looks very much like an Inquisition employee.

It was the fifth Last Supper he had painted in his career, therefore I believe he was getting tired of the same-old subject matter. He let his imagination rise, as artists usually do, but the reverend father who commissioned the painting didn't find it very amusing. Such poetic license was not welcome at the dining-room of his monastery. Paolo Veronese was then asked to change the painting, and when he refused, he found himself forced to go before the court of the Inquisition.

The transcripts of his interrogation before the Inquisition are comic, although I doubt Veronese has seen the situation this way. You can imagine the pompous inquisitors in their garish red silk robes staring at the artist who sweats and squirms uncomfortably. It was a great episode of the epic and eternal battle of conservative authorities with no sense of humor, against an artist with a youthful creative spirit. We testify the collision of two very different points of view, one literal and rational, the other highly intuitive and driven by imagination.

The Inquisition ordered him to make infinite changes in favor of decorum within three months and at the artist’s expense. He nodded, but, attention to the plot twist, all he did was to paint the words “FECIT D. COVI. MAGNVS LÉVI-LVCAE PAC. V" on the canvas, and change its official title from Last Supper to The Feast in the House of Levi — referring to a passage from the Gospel of Luke where Jesus sat to eat and drink in the company of sinners.

The Inquisitors had nothing left to do but shrug and grumble “okay”. They never had much authority in Venice after all, but that's something for another anecdote.

The perfect time during lockdown to get clear on your hopes and dreams

Photo by rosario janza on Unsplash

This week Taurus steps into the lime light and being the highest of the Earth signs, I believe it’s no coincidence that the celebrate of Earth Day falls under the New Moon in Taurus.

Giving us the ultimate time to ground, connect and get clear on our dreams.

What are your dreams for the world you wish to live in moving forwards after this lockdown?

This is a really amazing opportunity for each and everyone of us to connect and manifest from a space of love and healing for the world we wish to see in the future, for the true abundance the world needs to thrive 🌍

Taurus is the sign for abundance, so right now focus on where you are currently abundant and where you would like to be even more abundant in life as well as for our beloved earth.

Questions to ask…

What does abundance mean to you?

How do you see your life as abundant?

What are your beliefs on your worth and values?
SUBLIMINALS — How they work and are the sketchy?
By: Holly E Taylor
Tags: Spirituality, Law Of Attraction, Manifest, Manifestation, Subliminals

Yes i get it i was as apprehensive as you are about the impact of trying subliminals; can i trust the random stranger on the internet to access my subconscious mind? Well let’s take a look into the facts.

Subliminal messages are actually being transmitting all day everyday into your subconscious mind, wether you are intentional about it or not. For instance; the main stream media creating body image issues, bombarding young and inpressanoable women that they need ‘this product’ and ‘that item’ in order to be beautiful (thats a story for another post lol).

2. The repetition of these messages creates new connections in you brain making you believe they are true.

3. Subliminals are usually audio or visual messages / affirmations that bypass your conscious mind and go straight into your subconscious.

But in the instance of positive subliminals that we are talking about today this is how they work…..

Positive subliminals work by hiding positive affirmations in the music, quite enough to be just below your hearing level. This is so your subconscious can’t put up barriers against it therefore avoiding any resistance, which would usually hold you back. Your conscious mind will hear only music… but there is much more happening behind the scenes! With repeated listening, your subconscious mind begins to accept the suggestions as true. Day by day, it’ll become easier for you to reach your goals because you now have tapped into the power source — your subconscious mind.

But are they sketchy?

In all honesty it’s the same amount of trust you hold to anyone on the internet spreading ‘information’ its up to you and your intuition to decide if you can trust the creator!

That’s why i wanted to create my own (you can also do this) but if you want to put your trust in me i have a whole library of subliminals on my brand “The COSMOS Brand’ youtube channel that i personally use myself daily, you can read some of the amazing reviews on my instagram highlight. Obviously no pressure but i defiantly don’t have any alter motives lol i just want everyone to live an abundant healthy and empowered life :)

With almost mathematical precision, get everything you want in life. This program is a method for bringing about change and obtaining everything you desire in your life. It’s a one-of-a-kind, step-by-step method for attaining long-term change and fulfilling all of your aspirations. When it comes to creating changes in your life, The System takes a holistic approach. This is an integrated approach that uses strategies and procedures directed at the mind, body, and spirit all at the same time. Our idea is that a healthy mind is required to heal the body. Similarly, a healthy mind is impossible to achieve without a strong spiritual connection.

And only a concentration on appropriate thinking (i.e., the mind) and respect for the physical body may lead to spirit and oneness. We can only attain our goals and find true happiness if we address all of our core natures. To establish a synergistic and integrated technique for living our lives and generating change, the System incorporates all aspects of our reality.

EVERYTHING You Visualize Will Come TRUE!!

Visualization is by far one of the most powerful tools for good setting and attracting what you want. Yet few people know how to properly visualize. With the right technique you can begin to see outstanding results in successfully attracting what you want, granted you full apply what you learn.

First you are visualizing all the time. You may not be aware of it but you are always conjuring up images in your mind. When you are speaking on the telephone to someone you are most of ten times trying to see in your mind what they are telling you. You also visualize when you are deep in thought. When you are worrying about paying your debt or worrying about the way you would really like to live your life you are also visualizing what you want.

The hard part however is to use that creative force to actually attract the things you want. This is where many people go terribly wrong.

Here is a great test to help you understand the most effective way visualize. Think of the last time you were deep in thought. Now try to remember what that felt like. If you can recall that time, you will notice that you were deep inside of yourself. You were unaware of anyone or anything and as you were allowing yourself to visualize you could feel clearly that you were having the experience as if it were real. That is the power of visualization.

When people ask all the time How do I visualize the things I want, I tell them the same way you visualize the things that you don’t want. You see when you are feeling anxious and fearful you lock yourself away in your inner mind with those images. You loose sight of other possibilities and if it is something that happened to you, then you recreate it in its full detail with all your emotions all over again.

Try to immerse yourself with full emotions when you are trying to create the things you want. Many thoughts may come to distract you but if you will redirect your mind to what you do want your mind will be trained to hold that thought.

There are many tools and techniques that can greatly empower your ability to visualize if you really have a hard time. You can add extreme magnetism to any mental image you want to create as long as you apply the right technique.

This past year has been filled with more growth than all the preceding years of my life. I hesitate to say that it has been the year of the most growth of my life, because I have a feeling there is more to come and I haven’t lived my whole life yet. What has grown? My self-confidence, my positive attitude towards life, my knowledge in how to manifest the life I want, my ability to manifest the life I really want, my friendships, my heart, my connection to Source, my connection to my Spirit Guides.

Moon Flowers

How, you ask, did I accomplish all this? Failing, failing miserably and being in a place where it was imperative to sit in the muck I had created in my life and sort it all out. I got rid of old patterns of behavior that were not in alignment with who I really am at the core of my being (my Higher Self). I took account of the things that did not get lost in the shuffle that I could still build on — like my ability to make people laugh. I meditated more, I walked in nature more, I purposely made more friends who see life from my perspective, I got out of the house on days when it was hard to see the light. Slowly but surely things started looking up. One small change at a time I got closer to the woman I really am. The truth is that I don’t have to beat myself up about where I was, or how I got there — all I have to do is figure out how to get where I really want to go. All I had to do was to change the channel. The blaming, and shaming, and guilt are all still on the old channel. I used to think that re-living my failures and figuring out where I went wrong was helpful to never go back there again. Now I know that the only way to get where you really want to go is to focus all your energy on the goal and how you are going to get there. In a race if you stumble on a stick in the road you don’t get to the finish line by stopping there and figuring out how the stick got on the road, the size of it, the damage to your foot, why you didn’t see it coming. The way to finish the race is to keep running, keep your eye on the finish line and let the stick get further and further behind you in the distance. Allow yourself to accept right where you are. Allow yourself to believe that things can be better. Have the courage to believe in the face of your worst fear, of your despair, of all the manifestation of what you don’t want that you can turn things around. Your life is a manifestation of your current thought, belief, behavioral patterns. You don’t have to wait for the outside to change in order to manifest what you want. You manifest from the inside out. The reason we want the outside to change is to feel better, but the outside changes second; we feel better first. So, be courageous in your faith in yourself, in your future, in the positive that still exists in your life. Dare to dream of a beautiful future for yourself, and make an action plan on how to get there.

Practical Advice:
There is only one creator!

There is only one creator!

You know it and you have felt it. Those things that you say you want could be yours by now. Still, they are no where to be seen. You have been trying to work through your blocks, invested in yourself into high end coaching and still nothing. Where is your money? Where is your things? Where is your clients? There is only one creator!

There is only one creator and that is YOU. All those thing you say you want, could be ours, if you give them to yourself. In your mind they don’t feel safe, or you could say that you might be blocked. So you do whatever seems ok and right, invest more. You punish yourself more, beat yourself up and ask “why am I not there yet?”.

I think that there must be a lesson for you to learn. All those things that you say might be blocking you, is actually keeping you safe. You don’t really want it that bad, or else you could have given it to yourself. “Camilla I want it that bad, I need it, I must have it!”. Yes, I see you try to force it like a little stubborn child crying for candy, more candy. I get it?

You have to just let it go. Be fine with not having it because when you want it that bad it will not come. Actually this manifest game is going on all the single time, in this moment you are manifesting. Your thought become things and you are calling in more lack the more you think about what you don’t have.

Stop with this negative circle of thoughts and start to set a side time to focus on what you want. See it in your minds eye. Feel it. Smell it. Touch it. Be that person who has it. That is how you can speed up your manifesting skills. There is only one creator! You!

Go and create more goodness in your life today. Set a side time for stillness. In stillness you can manifest anything you want. Most people will not do it, they will rather hustle their ass off and think that they need to do MORE. There is always action to take, but sometime that action is to tune within. As a badass leader online you are willing to trust in yourself and the power you have inside you.

There is only one creator!

Secret Corona Cash Manifestation Formula

Can manifestation STILL work? Even right NOW?

Even when it feels like the world might end?

After everything that’s unfolded, I wasn’t so sure anymore.

I wasn’t sure about ANYTHING I thought I knew.

But then I discovered something truly MAGICAL…

Something that RESTORED my unwavering faith in the Universe.

A manifestation secret I’ve come to call…

“The Corona Cash Formula.”

Regular people are using this to manifest MONEY.

And it works even better in a crisis.

You literally push a button on your cell phone, and starting in hours, blessings appear.

Signs and synchronicities as Kathy S. described…

“…I do see angel signs everywhere… signs from the Universe. I see numbers, I see hearts, I see a heart in the clouds… I ask a question and I do receive a sign. My personal sign has been a sunflower, and I do see that everyday, at least once, if not more…”

And more important for times like these… CASH.

“…the next day I received a totally unexpected check from my State of Michigan for over $1200.00!” — Rochelle

“…since starting I notice daily signs and synchronicities…I also had unexpected money $1700 flow to me.” — Dolan

“This works! … I won $11,000.00 on the lotto!…” — Diana

“…the next day I received notification that I would be receiving $28,000.00, which I did receive within about 30 days. Thank you God…”

Go here to discover what I’ve come to call the “Corona Cash Formula.”

To our NEW abundant future,
Law Of Attr“Action”

“All that we are is a result of what we have thought.” — Buddha

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, either way you are right.” — Henry Ford

“You create your thoughts, your thoughts create your intentions and your intentions create your reality.” — Wayne Dyer

Everything we have with us today, is a result of our manifestations, our thoughts and our beliefs. All the experiences we have, the way we react or respond, decisions we make, believe it or not, every single thought that comes to our mind, be it a new business idea, a new business proposal or even something as simple as a breakfast, is the manifestation of our thoughts. It’s just a matter of our awareness. Now, you may ask how you can manifest a breakfast !? It’s as simple as that. You have a thought, an intention of having your breakfast. Now, to prepare your breakfast, you would gather all the required ingredients and you would prepare your breakfast. This phenomenon is popular as Law Of Attraction. Law Of Attraction is always at play, it’s much more like working behind the curtains before the stage show. It is one of the 12 Universal Laws.

In the easiest way, we can say the Law Of Attraction is “What you put out, you get back” or “What you get is what you give.” OR “Like attracts Like”. It’s natural that some people are skeptical about the Law Of Attraction or LOA as a metaphysical concept. However, LOA is much more than that and is nothing but pure science.

As quoted by Albert Einstein: “Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality.”

Our thoughts are vibrations, they hold energy. The more the frequency of the vibrations, the higher the energy and the faster the thoughts manifest into reality. It can only be converted from one form to another. Stronger vibrations attract in a faster and an easier way. They act like a huge and powerful magnet.

So when we have a thought or an idea, it already exists, because Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. It’s just the matter of fruition of the thoughts into our reality, which happens when we start taking Inspired Actions towards our Desire or Goal. The results of our inspired actions is the manifestation of our desire into our reality. The word Attraction itself contains the word Action.

We can thus conclude that, just holding the thoughts, desires and feelings that emerge when we reach our goal do not alone contribute to the manifestation, but how consistent and persistent our efforts are, contribute equally to help us reach our goals and have our desires manifest into our reality.

“By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it.”

— The Science Of Getting Rich By Wallace Delois Wattles, 1910

In the next article, we will learn how all the 12 Universal Laws work coherently to help us have a more spiritually aligned life.
