On the Right Path to Puffy Tacos

Yes I realize that I am in fact a lunatic, trying to manifest an all expenses paid 4 day vacation to San Antonio in less than two weeks. I’m not exactly known for making sane or rational requests and life decisions, so the Universe should be used to my crazy ass by now.

I decided to pretend that when I was making my travel requests I was talking to my personal assistant/ travel agent, Mila, who will carry out my every wish and demand because I’m very busy and important. This helps with the “how it will happen” hangup that I have so many issues with, and I get to channel my inner Kardashian. I bet their assistants have assistants. Quick reminder, Mila is my imaginary assistant until I am actually rich enough to have a real life one. Her name is derivative from the Spanish word milagros, which means ‘miracles’.

After I left things to Mila, I started researching things to do in San Antonio. Obviously, I’m visiting the Alamo and Riverwalk and The World’s Largest Cowboy Boots. But thennnn… I then stumbled across the thing I’m the most excited for: puffy tacos at some restaurant called Henry’s, the birthplace of the puffy taco revolution. I know, right?? I can’t wait.

The crazy thing is that after I put this trip out there to the Universe, I started seeing things about San Antonio everywhere. Now, I’m sure a lot of it has to do with whoever is spying on my internet searches so they can show me correlating ads on Facebook. However, San Antonio seems to also come up constantly on TV shows I’m watching, I hear people talking about it in passing, and last week my co-worker came to work wearing a golf shirt with ‘San Antonio’ emblazoned on a logo. Also my lyft driver this morning was named Antonio. What? It counts.

I feel that the Universe is constantly giving us signs and feedback so I must be on the right track. That, or all I’m attracting in my life is watching murder shows where the victim is from San Antonio. There seems to be a lot of murder there, by the way.

OK, so I’m most likely on the right track but I know I need to do more to bring this trip to fruition. I spent my whole day off watching youtube videos about Law of Attraction, hoping that something would jump out and resonate with me, or at least put me in a better mood after working 100 hours and both my days off last week.

Bob Proctor, who was one of the people featured on ‘The Secret’, didn’t let me down. I stumbled upon like 3 hours worth of his workshops. I don’t really know what you would call it, but saying it’s a ‘workshop’ makes it sound more legit than ‘youtube video’ so I’m going with that. Oh, I guess I could have also gone with ‘seminar’, it sounds pretty important as well.

Anyhow, during my LOA binge-watching session, something he said did catch my attention. He was reiterating how, when attracting things into your life, to only focus on the outcome, but he took it a step further. Not only should you focus on the end result of what you’re trying to attract, but also how it relates to your bigger life purpose. Having a purpose gives you a direction to go in. So like if you’re trying to attract, say, a car, you would focus on what it feels like to be driving said car and feel the feelings as if you had it. But also,focus on how having that car helps you towards your bigger life goal. If you need the car to be able to have your dream job then you should feel that you already have that as well.

This made me think about my own life goals. Obviously I want to be a writer, to travel, and connect to other people through Law of Attraction with this blog. Clearly, that means I have to attract things to blog about. So you guys, I’m attracting this vacation to San Antonio for YOU.

I’ll think of you all while I’m stuffing my face with puffy tacos. You’re welcome.

Myztic New Beginnings

It’s time for a change. After my myztic spiritual discussion, I reflected on
what I’ve recently been trying to attract, annnnnnd….it’s all been based on survival. For a couple months there, I was just trying to survive, so thank dear sweet baby Jesus for what I was able to attract to me at that time. Survival has been my mindset for so long now, that I almost lost the notion of really enjoying life. While I am grateful to not be homeless or jobless in San Diego, I want more out of life. My chakras are aligned and ready for new adventures.

That being said, I want to go to San Antonio. Like, to visit. I never want to move again, ever. I’ve been to almost every major city in the US, but there are a handful still left for me to explore. Technically, I want to travel anywhere and everywhere I can, but for the sake of using Law of Attraction effectively, I’m going to start with this request.

I am cognitive that all requests are equally as easy for the universe to manifest, it’s all in how you, as a person, feel about how easy or difficult it is that determines how long it takes, blah blah blah. I’m not a reasonable creature and thus I do not accept this fact. So, I’m starting with attracting this San Antonio trip instead of a month-long, luxurious Europe tour. None of that backpacking shit for me.

As of the moment I am typing this, I cannot afford to take ANY kind of vacation without saving for severalllll months, but I want to go now. Well, due to some work commitments, I’ll settle for the end of April.

vacation

I know LOA needs specificity so here’s my take on what I envision this trip to entail. Take some notes, Universe:

I want to be there for at least 4 days, with a possibility of one extra day for a day trip to Austin (only a two hour drive away). Visiting Austin while I’m so close would be an added bonus, but I’m OK with at least 4 days in San Antonio.

I want to go during the last week in April (2 weeks from now!), preferably April 28th-May 2nd which also happens to fall during my birthday.

I want to have a friend available to go with me. I have a few people I would be interested in traveling with–I will trust the Universe to align the right fit for this trip.

I want approved PAID time off from work for 2-3 of the days I’m gone (and I don’t have any paid vacation time, so..start working your magic).

I want to be able to afford plane tickets, hotel, car rental, and have extra money to go out while I am there without having any financial strain when I return back to real life in San Diego.

Alright, so I stated clearly and specifically what I want. First step, check.
The second step in the creative process is to believe. I think I covered this by not going for the month long, swanky Europe vacay…I can believe San Antonio in a budget hotel for 4 days is doable. Second step, check.

Ok, so somewhere between this second step, believe, and third step, receive, shit usually goes awry. The second step is kind of a shady bitch because it really has a hidden second part. Not only do you have to believe it’s possible in your life to attract it, you have to believe that the universe knows the best way to bring it into your life. Meaning, you have to let go and not think about how it might be possible or how it might happen. You truly just have to just let yourself be guided into the right steps or circumstances.

I am VERY BAD at this. When I’m not watching terrible reality TV shows, I am obsessed with true crime shows. My brain is always trying to piece together all the evidence to arrive at some conclusion on my own about who killed who and why. I love trying to figure things out, I like to know WHY and HOW and LOA isn’t down with that. Every time my brain starts to try to come to a theory of how this trip might happen, I have to tell myself “if you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always had”. I certainly don’t need to keep riding the struggle bus, that’s for sure.

So..second shady hidden step, half check?… Well, I’m working on it.
