The Magic of Manifesting FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Have you ever manifested something in your life by a mere thought, small action, or spoken word and not realized it happened until after the fact? There’s a lot of talk about how to manifest something, like doing a vision board, journaling, or saying positive affirmations. Those are all good things to do for yourself in any case. But sometimes, one small action, like purchasing an item or saying something out loud in a subconscious way, can also manifest something wonderful in your life. Let me explain. This past July, Michael and I attended a wedding for the daughter of one of his best friends from back when he lived on 29th Street in Hell’s Kitchen, New York City. The affair was “black tie required.” I love the idea of dressing up, but no one dresses up in Los Angeles, not even at fancy restaurants. I’m mostly a jeans and T-shirt kind of gal, but it just so happened I had a formal dress to wear! And even more unusual was the fact that I had purchased the dress in 2019. Originally, it was to wear at my daughter’s wedding. I bought it after looking at every department and women’s store in Southern California, and not finding anything, I went to a wedding store and purchased this dress, which was custom fitted for me. It’s a beautiful dress, but it wasn’t the “it” dress. After the purchase, I found a dress that was the perfect one, and even though I had nowhere to wear two evening dresses, I bought the second one anyway. I couldn’t return the first one since it was already altered. I put it in the closet. Less than a year later, Michael and I won an Inc. 5000 award for our company, and we were invited to celebrate at their formal

awards dinner. And I wore the dress hanging in the closet that was waiting for a special occasion for me. Then another two years later, it was our friend’s daughter’s wedding. I didn’t think about the coincidence of all this until after the wedding on the way back to our hotel. I mentioned it to Michael and said, “It’s like I manifested two events to wear this dress to!” Then it led to another thought, and I continued, “Just like the time I bought that designer briefcase right before we started our company.” I was shopping one day, saw it on the shelf, and purchased it. I’m not a person who buys things spontaneously, but it was love at first sight, and for whatever reason, I had to have it, like I intuitively knew I’d need it a few months later. Eight years later, I still love and use that briefcase daily. Or … take the neighborhood I live in now. My friend Debbie and I would take weekly walks in this neighborhood, and we’d say how nice it would be to live there. I didn’t live far from the area, but I never imagined we’d buy a house there because I didn’t think we could find one in our budget. When Michael and I ended up purchasing our house in that neighborhood and Debbie and I went for a walk after we moved in, she reminded me, “Remember all the times we said we wish we could live in this neighborhood?” My point is that sometimes when we least expect it, the magic of manifesting something we wish for comes true. You take that first step with an action, thought, or spoken word, then one thing leads to another. Of course, not everything you say creates what you want, but before

something happens, it’s important to acknowledge what you actually “want.” It all starts there. Now that I’ve shared a few of my magical manifestations, can you think of times you’ve done this, too? If not, maybe you should give it a try. It’s something to think about. In the meantime, Michael and I have always talked about owning a house on the beach. We don’t know exactly where or any details. It’s a wish, a dream. But after I realized how

many things I already manifested, I said to Michael, “I guess I should buy an item specifically to put in our future beach house.” –Roslyn Rozbruch
