Creating A Life I Love is an inspiring and uplifting place where you can get detailed information on deliberate creating. I write about the law of attraction and ways to allow your desires and dreams to manifest into a life you love. Come on in and join the fun!
Are you one to day dream and think that it only happens to the lucky few? Do you realize that those lucky few are actually doing what it takes to make their dreams a reality? You can be one of the lucky people if you're willing to do what it takes.
I was inspired to write this after reading a blog post by my friend Angela over at My Year Without Spending.
Angela and I were best friends when we were 6 years old. We lived next door to each other in Southern California and share a lot of the same childhood memories. We lost contact for years and have recently been in communication again. It's amazing that after so many years we still have things in common. It makes me wonder if we choose our companions in life before we actually get here! Here's her blog post:
How much $ do you need to live your dream?
by Angela Barton
That's the question they're asking at Married With Luggage this week, as they launch a series called "How we saved enough money to change our lives and how you can, too." It's all about the planning, saving, and lifestyle changes that will make it happen. Click here to read the post that kicks off the series.
For Betsy and Warren, their dream is to travel the world for a year, and they're counting down the days. Your dream may be the same, or it may be something completely different, but whatever it is, it takes work to make it happen. But if you've ever talked to anyone who has lived their dream - whether it's to travel the world, get out of their corporate job to join the Peace Corps, live in another country, write a book, or simply do the work they love - it takes a plan, discipline, and hard work to pull it off.
Married With Luggage shows you how to put it all together, in a way that's user-friendly, inspirational, and fun. So check it out, if you haven't already. It's one of my favorite blogs, so I have mentioned it before.
What's your dream? Are you pursuing it now, or is it more of a fuzzy fantasy that takes place in the distant future? Or maybe you feel like you're just keeping your head above water as it is. Or maybe... you're living your dream right now.
The fuzzy fantasy part is what got to me. So many of us will live our entire lives dreaming of that some day...having a fuzzy fantasy. So ask yourself what your life dream is ? What are the practical steps you need to engage in to let the universe know that you're signaling what you want? Personally I've found the Abraham -Hicks material inspiring and helpful in practical ways. Here's the link to their web site:
My book Danny And The Dolphin was written in a children's style but is really a book for all ages. Adults as well as children can read about believing in their dreams and find some useful 'how to' tools to make those dreams come true.
Life is SO much more fun when you're persuing your dreams and living them. It turns the 'have to' into 'want to' because you begin to see that by doing those things you're getting closer to having what you want. Just like exercising and eating healthy. You don't get there by accident. So start today...begin the journey of your life. It's YOUR life and we each have our own wonderful dreams to live out. I believe if we all reach for our dreams that the world will be a much happier place for everyone. Have fun.
Here are some sites I've found that may be helpful:
Thank you Hawaii Book Blog for the write up and support! I was featured on their website...
Check outhttp://www.hawaiibookblog.com/ to see other books available from local authors in the Hawaiian Islands. Danny and the Dolphin is now published! I got the physical proof in the mail on my birthday a couple of weeks ago! It's the BEST birthday gift I could have ever received. After over a year of designing the interior and working on publishing it's complete...we're changing the size a little and making it a hard cover rather than a soft, but it's ready for print! It's exciting to know that it will be available for you all to read soon...in just a couple more weeks! (I've been saying that for a long time now but this time it REALLY is just a couple more weeks...sounds like false labor) My friend Katya Williamson (author of bringing the Soul Back Home) http://www.amazon.com/Bringing-Soul-Back-Home-Consciousness/dp/1846942020 told me that creating a book is like being pregnant and the publishing is like the birth of a baby...it takes months to create and then it's here forever. It really has been a lot more work than I ever imagined and I now have a new appreciation for the arts... film, paintings, music, and literature...it's all very time consuming and such a labor of love. Much like parenting! I 'm SO appreciative for everyone that helped with this project: Editors, Katya Williamson and Angela Barton http://myyearwithoutspending.blogspot.com/ Bluewater Graphics, Captain Budd, and Rebbecca Byder for their photo shop and computer skills, Kimberly Martin at Self Pub.net http://www.self-pub.net/ Mill city Press http://www.millcitypress.net/ my husband Ken for his loving support and for keeping us afloat, and especially to Dan Mackin http://www.danmackin.com for his amazing art work. Thank you SO much Dan! Your beautiful art has made my story come to life. We've created a really beautiful book together that I am so happy with and VERY proud of!
While waiting for Danny And The Dolphin to arrive, I've started working on my next project. If anyone out there would like to be a part of my next book then please send your Law Of Attraction stories and testimonials to me at my email: writtenbykatesommers@gmail.com Thanks so much! ~Aloha

Do you live by the Law of Attraction?

If the answer to this question is yes, then you could be the person that Kate Sommers is looking for. Kate is a writer living in Hawaii whose first published book, Danny and the Dolphin will be released in a few weeks. The book is a short story about creating your life the way you love. She is looking for anyone who has a testimonial or story of success with deliberate creating and the Law of Attraction that she can incorporate into her new book.

Here's a blog that offers ideas on self employment:
This is an article about creating, from Rat Race Escape Artists:
The concept of visualization is not new. NOBODY becomes successful "accidentally". You must have a clear picture of where you want to go.
Mind Movies, as well as their predecessor, vision boards, are based on numerous scientific studies about how the brain works. Among other things, when the mind believes something to be fact, even if it is not yet fact, the brain behaves as if that thing is indeed a fact. This is controlled by the part of the brain called the Reticular Activating System, or RAS. It can't distinguish between reality and imagination. Vision boards / Mind Movies exploit this fact, to condition the brain to believe affirmations. Thus, numerous people have "conditioned" their minds to believe their aspirations. And these aspirations have come true.
Books such as "Think and Grow Rich", "The Science of Getting Rich", "The Secret", "The Success Principles", and "The Breakout Principle" are based on this fact.
It's not at all limited to wealth accumulation, either. Back in 1954, the man who broke the 4-minute barrier for running a mile, Roger Bannister, did so without any precedent. No one had ever run a mile in under 4 minutes before. In 1943 the world record for the 1 mile race was set at 4 minutes and 2 seconds. That record stood for an amazing 11 YEARS. Until Roger Bannister came along. Through powerful visualization and intent, and after numerous tries, he ran the first sub 4-minute mile in HISTORY.
But that's not the AMAZING part.
Just six weeks later, John Landy, Bannister's arch-rival, took a further 2 seconds off Bannister's time. In fact, the 4-minute barrier was broken 26 TIMES in the following year!
A mental barrier had been broken.
Until Roger Bannister did it, virtually everyone, including doctors, believed that it was physically impossible for the human body to run a mile in under four minutes.
Roger Bannister used visualization to go over the race in his head, repeatedly. Each time he visualized himself breaking the 4-minute barrier.
In actual fact he had broken the four minute barrier maybe hundreds of times by the time he attempted it on that historical day.
When race day came, he had no doubt whatsoever that he would break the four minute barrier as he had already achieved it so many times in his mind.
Put another way, he created enormously powerful emotional memories of his desired goal. And that made it a reality.
Here's a clip of Roger Bannister :
Other famous people who have used visualization to attain their success include:
Bruce Lee
Jim Carrey
Michael Jordan
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Isaac Newton
Alexander Graham Bell
Thomas Edison
Albert Einstein
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Henry Ford
Carl Lewis
Tiger Woods
Bruce Jenner
Nancy Kerrigan
Martin Luther King Jr.
Winston Churchill
Tony Robbins
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Jack Canfield
Matt Damon
Drew Barrymore
Billy Joel
Ellen Degeneres
Oprah Winfrey
All these individuals used positive affirmations, and powerful visualization, to bring their dreams to life. Vision boards aid this sort of visualization. Mind Movies, even more so.
You hold your own key to Success. Go ahead and use it.
Make your life what you've always wanted it to be. It's NEVER too late.
NOW is the best time to start living the life you love.
I live in Hawaii, I love to be in nature, swim in the ocean, travel and experience new people and places. I've published a book titled Danny And The Dolphin with Dan Mackin's beautiful art! The book is based on deliberate creating and the law of attraction. Inspired by Abraham-Hicks, it delivers a message that gives positive tools for helping anyone create a life they love. I've also published a guided meditation called Manifesting Dreams Aligning With Desires, and three other children's books, I Love, I Appreciate and Today's Going To Be A Good Day. They're uplifting, inspirational stories that feel good all the way through! Available on Amazon.com and Amazon Kindle. Available soon in paperback with full color illustrations.
