Let me tell you the PINEAPPLE story!

OK so this is super fun to write about this morning! I have written about seeing "signs" in my life, even conjuring them if you will, by asking for them! It was something that began happening after my sister passed away over 20 years with dragonflies....and I can still ask for that sign or see it quite randomly......feeling divinely placed. I have seen crosses too in the woods often and in unusual ways:) But the story I am about to share is a little different than that.....and it is exciting, because I have also written about my fascination with manifestation, and trying to understand it better alongside our divinely orchestrated path! Believing deeply that we also have free will.........However also believing that manifestation is true, and our minds, our thoughts, and our visualizations have power.......so last night the kids were having dinner at their dad's house.....I decided to just relax some.....bingeing a delicious and silly reality show, and scrolling some.....and I came across a video that said "I Will Show You Proof Your Manifestation is Working, You Will see it today!" and it was a short video so I clicked, like why not right?;-)....And also because I spend time in my life actively manifesting the things, and working toward manifesting some of what I want simply through meditation, and being more intentional about my thoughts.....giving energy to my imagination and visualizing it all.......so in her video she told us, the viewers, that we needed to pick one of these 5 seemingly random items. An elephant, a butterfly, a bluebird, a bear, or a pineapple. And originally pineapple popped in my mind, but I wanted it to be one of the others lol, but pineapple wouldn't leave me alone, so I stuck to it! She said to close your eyes, and picture the item, however that looks for you. And do that three times........and then throughout the day on 3 separate occasions, saying this three times "I always see______it is easy and obvious for me" and for me that was pineapples. Then combine those two steps and then laugh it off like it is done, as if that item is sitting in front of me.....she then said to simply be on the lookout for your item.....be open to seeing it.......the premise being the items are random enough for proof, but also common enough to hold real belief that you will see them.....belief being the power behind manifestation, and I truly believe that too....really believing that something will be gives it power.......and then she gave a finite amount of time to manifest it, within a day.......so I took on the challenge......I closed my eyes and visualized a pineapple, three times......and since it was the end of the day I only said the " I always see pineapples" thing three times.......and then spent a few more moments visualizing it, telling myself I would continue more today since it was later at night last night.......and see what happens today. Then about an hour later I was watching my show and they were interviewing one of the cast. He had a tank top on, and I thought I caught a pineapple emblem on his shirt, and luckily they panned back and guess what!!!! Pineapple emblem lol:) I mean that is an obscure way to see a pineapple.......and I was like there it is:)....and that is how it feels when I see a sign I ask for, which I guess this was sorta what this was, except it felt like the more woo woo side of it all :) And I was sort of chuckling to myself, like well played universe, and then I scrolled on FB for a minute and this event came up, and a friend had wanted to go to it in Florida, and it showed up on my feed, and guess what......it centered around pineapples!!! Just to be sure I got the message:) So my takeaway from this fun little activity is THIS.......it is confirmation to me the power that lies in manifesting our life.....free will and all:) It also reminds me of the IMMENSE power our thoughts hold!! That whole what we fear we create business is REAL! And the quality of our thoughts are the houses we live in! And I have come to believe we should spend our energy feeding the stuff we want!!! And speaking light, and health, and love, and goodness into our minds and into our worlds! It also reminded me to remain faithful to my DREAMS......continuing to spend some of my time each day......just a few minutes actively visualizing the things that I want for myself and my kids:) It felt like magic some, and I love magic:).....and I have to say too that there were 1,000 comments of other viewers of this video with similar stories to mine.......I absolutely believe there is something to all of this.....some piece I don't quite fully understand yet, but I believe deeply and know that all of it is vast.....and bigger than we could likely even comprehend..... Hope this little story finds your open and sorta amused some, and pondering the beautiful mystery this world can be at times:) And maybe you want to give it a try! Pick one of those items;-)......Happy Thursday! :)
