Power in Pictures
When I want you, all I have to do is... dream dream dream
Hi….my name is Merryl and I’m a mother and grandmother who wants everyone to know the energetic wonder of eating living foods.
Are you struggling to achieve your plant-based healthy diet?
I’m going to cut to the chase with this quick tip…
Post the Pictures
Treat this goal as any other dream - wish, longing - that you want to manifest.
As an adolescent I had a scrap book in which I posted highlights in my life. Poetry I loved, poetry I wrote, diary entries of significant events and pictures. My very first dream-board (before I knew that term or even the concept of manifestation) was a page with three pictures:
A lass in an academic gown and cap
A lass hitch-hiking beside a pile of well worn and stickered brown cardboard luggage.
A lass on a shiny red motorbike
The first was achieved in 1982.
The dream of travel started in 2005.
Number three on that list… I’m up to a bicycle. Perhaps that goal will be achieved in my 70s (big smiley face). I did marry a man with a big red Honda500 in 1981, though.
Needless to say, I worked hard to achieve the first goal.
My first child had already flown the nest when I achieved the second. It was an opportunity I was able to grab because I had taken action a few months before the opportunity presented.
Having heard a motivational speaker talk about taking action steps, I had applied for a passport. We were barely making ends meet and travel seemed a misty and ethereal wish. But a phone call one afternoon asking me if I wanted to fly to the other side of the world was my chance. I had a free flight with spending GBP if I could be at the airport in two hours. I begged a week’s leave from work. I called my daughter at home to pack me a bag of essentials. I hastily worded an email announcing my arrival and copied in my various family members in the UK. As I said a hurried goodbye to my spouse, I saw a bunch of cash in his pocket - he had just sold my old car - whoo hoo!
That first ten hour flight to London on a full moon night in May 2005 was the start of many years of travel. Later, a three week trip to Brazil came about when my husband landed a contract in Curitiba at a fortuitous moment in time when I had just finished a decade of being “Girl Friday”. I was free to travel with him.
A few years on, I won a trip to Phuket, Thailand without even knowing about the competition I had been entered into. It wasn’t until I saw the longtail boats loafing on their elbows on the beach there, that I realised the immense power of the pictures. You see, the picture on my cell phone screensaver was of a longtail boat! I hadn’t even chosen the picture. My grandson had picked it from the default photos on the new phone.
A very important addendum to “Post the Pictures” is to be very careful which pictures you post!!!
My pending trip to cycle through South America is another desire I have had for some years. As soon as I decided that I wanted to cycle tour the world, I took action. I signed up on warmshowers.com to host touring cyclists passing through my city.
I have hosted many cyclists from the four corners of the globe. And soaked up all the information I could. Now one of those cyclists has invited me to join him on a tour across South America. It is my turn to accept a bed and a warm shower from hosts in Latin America.
Live well and find the happy,
