Manifestation Mishaps: Ceiling Therapy and Cosmic Twists

Let’s start with a confession: while recuperating recently, I’ve spent much time staring at the ceiling—aka ceiling therapy. During this downtime, I’ve binged on podcasts, webinars, and some serious daydreaming.

But let’s get one thing straight: I’m not talking about following white witches or wishing on a star. I’m talking about getting your vibration (a.k.a. your inner energy) in the right place. And no, this isn’t “good vibes only” fluff. It’s about being positive, grateful, hopeful, and confidently strutting into your dream life like you already own it. Are you bored yet? If no, keep reading.

Is Manifestation Just Fancy Goal Setting with Cosmic Glitter?

So, is manifestation just another way of setting goals? Kind of! But think of it as goal setting with a twist—a twist of cosmic lemon, if you will. Traditional goal setting is like writing a to-do list for your life. Manifestation is like placing an order with the universe’s drive-thru, trusting your meal will arrive, even if it comes with a surprise side dish.

You Are What You Think (Not Just What You Wish For)

Here’s the deal: It’s not about what you want; it’s about what you are. If you dream of a yacht but secretly feel like you’re only worthy of a dinghy, the universe might deliver something that floats, but don’t be surprised if it’s more canoe than a cruise ship. The key? Be grateful. Gratitude is the universe’s favorite song on repeat. But what if those gifts come in packaging you didn’t expect?

The Universe Has a Wicked Sense of Humor

True story: I once visualized the perfect car. I had never driven or researched it, but I knew it was the one. Then it manifested as a rental, and guess what? After driving it, I realized it wasn’t for me. The universe got the memo but added its punchline. Now, I’m a little nervous. I’ve been manifesting a man—what’s going to show up? A prince or a guy with a frog
collection?

The Bottom Line: Dream Big, But Expect a Twist

Ultimately, manifesting is like ordering from a cosmic catalog with a no-return policy. The world will bring you what’s right for you, but maybe not in the package you imagined. So, dream big, keep your vibes high, and get ready to laugh when the universe throws in a twist. Life’s a ride, and the universe is your quirky chauffeur. Buckle up!

Holy Smoke

On Friday night, we decided to break routine and do as the Greek’s do, go out with our children after 7 pm. This town is the Greek version of Home and Away’s, Summer Bay – only it’s not that sleepy. Greece’s Summer Bay is really Mykonos with children. We walked to our local Paidotopo, a café that is also a children’s play centre. Its opening hours are 10 a.m to 2 p.m, then 5.30 p.m. to 12.00 a.m!  Our local Paidotopo is like walking onto set for an episode of Cheers for Children, where everybody knows your name. It’s warm, friendly and fun. Our local has a thousand activities, an indoor slippery dip, jumping castle, a dedicated supervisor who takes the children gently by the hand and plays with them for as long as you are there. She is not frightened to return naughty children to their parents, and will not tolerate bullying.  Best of all,  Paidotopo has a bar, (of course for the parents). The owner (his name is Archilea, not Sam), was pleased to see that I broke

Mummyfried. Really.

SO, I thought when I read Lisa’s call for a challenge, why not?  I can do it. I manically set about building a blog site, throwing up my stories and making room for more to come. Easy peasy. I can do it in one night I think. Reminiscent of my university days of pulling an ‘all-nighter’ – the difference, I refused to accept that the children and my insomnia (attention to detail) would cause delay. I have built websites before, I have consulted to Board Members and Partners regarding blogs and social media. I am a pro, I know what it takes.   The all-nighter turned into a four night all-nighter. I have spent the last few nights dealing with the baby’s attempts to turn night into day. She thinks I love it when she howls almost all night. Once she is awake, Little Miss wakes up. Little Miss (also known as Little Miss Relevance Deprivation) starts to howl also wanting cuddles and milk.  Somewhere between the two, I have worked on this blogsite. Sleep deprivation coupled

I love my stalker

Please don’t confuse me for somebody with a big ego. Ok, the truth is – I admit to having one, it’s like a trained monkey I try to keep it under control but we all know that training a monkey is not only cruel but unnatural. 'Leave the monkey alone' say my animal rights friends. While not healthy I admit I sort of have the same approach with my ego. I try to keep it under control, when it does go native I experience many cringe moments and often find myself apologising to people…a character fault I am not proud of…. Now, back to my stalker story.  I have more than one.  Stalker one: the one I don’t love. I worked for an organisation that was quick to shift responsibility and blame (but no authority) to those that were keen to move up the corporate ladder (also known as 'management training).  I was often tasked with moving people on when the organisation had drained them of their expertise, dedication and these people were screaming for recognition by way o
