I mentioned that I have been manifesting what I set my mind to my whole life.  Well, maybe not my whole life.

I was raised by my grandmother after I lost my mother at 2 years old and was the center of a massive custody battle between my father and my grandmother. So, clearly, I did not have it easy to begin with. However, their need to compete and “provide everything I could imagine in life” created a perspective that I could have anything I set my mind to, and I felt a bit invincible. That invincible feeling led me to creating a beautiful lifestyle after having my first child at 16 years of age and moving all the way to Chicago by the age of 19.  

I tell you this part of my story because of the choices I made at this point in my life and the impact they had on my entire life moving forward. You see, having a baby at 16 made me mature faster than most girls my age.  But unlike so many girls in my situation, I saw this baby as a gift, and a powerful reason to make the world a better place for her. I used this as my motivation to focus, grow and achieve, rather than so many others that saw their lives as over, and saw only struggle and disappointment. This CHOICE was the first of many that set my feet on this powerful path.

For the next 16 years, I used an unseen, almost natural, and unconscious skill to achieve whatever I focused on.  At first it was the job I wanted, then it was the perfect house, the cars, and a lifestyle of financial abundance.  And I wasn’t even 25 years old!  I wanted 3 children, and I saw them having every need met, and growing up happy, healthy, and loved.  I grew strong and had a VERY clear end story. Despite a cripplingly dysfunctional marriage, I had a powerful vision of being single and taking my kids to live in my home state of California. At age 32, was living near my family, in Northern California, with my kids, and I was on my way to owning my own business.
