"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other as if everything is." 
   ~ Albert Einstein ~

MIRACLES ARE YOUR FRUIT

When we hold true to our heart's desire we find that miracles can occur. In truth what has happened is that we have invested in the vision of our heart and we are experiencing the fruits of our investment.

Recently my husband and I manifested such a miracle.

For years my husband and I have been talking about the property we would love to live on when we next move. In our Living Vision our property butts up against public land such as a forest preserve.

We love to talk about the joy of living amongst open space that is preserved from development, watching wildlife and listening to the quiet sounds of nature.

Our next place is an extension of the joy of our current home. We live on lovely property that butts up against an open rolling pasture that is full of wild flowers and deer. We have a lot of privacy from neighbors and a sunny area where my husband has his vegetable garden.

We'll often be sitting in the quiet taking in the beauty and will begin to wonder aloud what it will be like when .... In our minds and our hearts we are holding our current reality and our vision of what we want. The one expands into the other. We are happy now. We are happy in our next place. We are happy.

I enjoy imagining the arch of climbing red roses I will place as an entry to our abundant vegetable and cutting flower garden; seeing our kitchen filled with light and freshly harvested produce; imagining the fireplace nearby to warm us in the winter, and more.

Whenever I see the possibility to bring that vision into my current reality I do so, thus weaving the two, creating a bridge from the one to the other.

This summer we received notice from the Open Space Program that the property butting up to our land is now protected from development. It is part of the Harley Woods Open Space Preservation which extends across the street and is a total of 70 acres including a 9 acre pond.

We now live with our property butting up against protected land and we didn't change residences.

I now wonder what other pieces of our future lives will be made manifest in our current reality.

Enjoy your dreams. Hold your vision in your heart. Love where you are. Love where you are going. Love it all. Your Loving is the energy of your heart and will call in that which serves your greatest joy.

LIVING BY DESIGN FOR BUSINESS

This year I have re-entered the world of business consulting. If you know of anyone who may be interested in generating clarity of vision and productive action at work, please let them know about my consulting and training opportunities.

As a business consultant I contribute by creating highly effective, collaborative teams made up of individuals who set goals, produce results and take responsibility for their contribution to the company's vision, purpose and bottom line.

“I would like to extend my personal thanks to you for the work you have done with my division to help us realize the improvement in effectiveness expected from a recent reorganization.

Our new people have become productive within very short time frames. Clearly, the synergy we currently enjoy in my division was greatly facilitated by the sessions you conducted. I would recommend your services to any group that needs to develop a common vision, a unity of purpose, so as to realize the full potential of their organization.”
