✨ S2 Ep. 25: Manifesting Mondays 🍋 The Japan Trip, Lemons & Little Locks

Welcome back to Organized Chaos: Season 2 – Permission Granted ✨

This week, Shabana shares three simple but meaningful manifestation stories—from returning home after an unforgettable trip to Japan and South Korea, to finding joy in unexpected lemon décor, and even rediscovering something she thought was lost.

This episode is a reminder that manifestation isn't always about huge life-changing moments. Sometimes it's found in answered prayers, perfect timing, gratitude, and the little everyday miracles that remind us you're being supported every step of the way.

💛 Remember: Big or small, every manifestation is worth celebrating.

✨ Celebrate the small manifestations just as much as the big ones—they all build your confidence.

✨ Gratitude helps you recognize how much is already unfolding in your favor.

✨ Trust that what is meant for you will arrive in the right timing—even if it takes two years or two minutes.

💛 Mantra: Every day is filled with beautiful manifestations, and I choose to notice them daily.

Hey, friends. It's Shabana here. Welcome back to another episode of Organized Chaos, Season 2: Permission Granted. Here on Manifesting Mondays, I have a few different stories to tell you. First off, I didn't even realize it was Sunday night. I honestly thought it was maybe Friday or even Saturday evening. Me and my son got back from Japan a couple days ago, and my body is catching up on sleep, and I'm catching up on unpacking, getting back on a schedule. And the other day, it was Fourth of July, and I had told the kids this evening that I would take them to Applebee's after 9:00 PM for a happy hour, but only one kid wanted to go with me. But when we were driving home, I go, "What day is it?" And my kid replies, "It's Sunday night." I was like, "Are you kidding me?" He's like, "Yeah, what's wrong?" I go, "Um, I totally do not have a Manifesting Monday story." And now it's, like, 11:00 PM on Sunday night, and here I am recording this episode. So I hope you enjoy it. But I will say I am really proud of myself, because the last few episodes that you've listened to, on my podcast I did pre-record, and I did have a fabulous time in Japan with my oldest son. And we also went to Korea, and that was amazing. Our group consisted of 21 people, and then we met up with a group of 21 people from Chicago. We did everything together, and then they actually had to leave a day early, and then we did Disney Tokyo as our span-away group. And then, um, I just feel like we honestly just manifested this trip for sure, 'cause my son is gonna be a senior this year coming up. But when he was in ninth grade, he had come home and said, "Hey, my teacher said that they're gonna be traveling overseas, and there's a meeting, and he invited me to it, and I wanna check it out." So, um, we're like, "Sure. You wanna check it out? We'll check it out." So we went to, you know, the information meeting, and they said, "Surprise. We're going to Korea and Japan in about two years." And, um, so we're like, "Yeah. No idea how we're gonna pay for this," but we signed up for it, and we went on the payment plan And we made it happen. So I just think it's amazing that for the past two years we've been paying off this trip, and it finally happened, and it was an amazing trip. And I'm just so proud that we didn't pay for not just one, but two of us to go on this trip, trip of a lifetime. And just all the things we did on the trip, like all of it, like it was just so good. And then it was also during that time, um, about two, two and a half years ago, that Michael was, um, kinda getting cleared from his neurologist that he was like tapering off his anti-seizure medicine and stuff like that. So back then, even now, there's no way in hell I would send my kid overseas knowing that, um, he could potentially like have a seizure and stuff like that. So of course, like me or David were gonna go on the trip with him just in case anything happened medically. Um, and like thankfully, obviously, like he hasn't had one in forever kinda thing. But, um, the trip itself was good, and he is to a point that if he gets like too hot, he will pass out. And thankfully, like he did not get too hot. And for the 11 and a half hour plane ride, um, we were stuck on the plane for an extra three hours at the beginning due to electrical issues, and it was getting really hot on the plane. But thankfully, the flight attendants just kept bringing us ice, and we had our like neck fans and stuff like that. Um, and I get that way too if I get like way too hot, like I feel like I'm gonna pass out. So both of us were like chewing on ice and like drinking cold water and had our like neck fans for three hours, and thankfully we did not pass out. His is more like concerning than me. But we did good and we survived that. That was like my biggest concern were the flights and getting too hot and passing out. So just manifesting good flights and travel and all the things. And then we had great hotels. There were no really bad bugs or anything like that So that was my first biggest thing is like manifesting the financial aspects of going on this trip and being in good health. We were both in really good health for this trip. We didn't have any issues I can think of. Like we didn't get sick. We didn't have any travel bugs or anything like that. Um, the walking really wasn't a big deal. I was kind of nervous about that because we definitely had over 10,000 steps each day, if not more. I know on the Disney day we got to almost 20,000 steps. Um, so that was also really good. So I guess that's my first like manifestation story, just the Japan trip all together. And then my second manifestation, story for this week is that I was listening to something on like a reel and it was talking about good feng shui for your house And it was talking about having lemons and like having just a bowl of lemons in your kitchen and how that like brings in more prosperity and joy and abundance,. So in my head I was like, "Oh, I wanna buy a bag of lemons and put it on the counter," like as that reminder of like just newness and freshness and stuff like that. And so I went to Walgreens 'cause of course my daughter had placed an order like forever ago, and I wanted to see if they still had her picture, um, that she had ordered back on like June 20th when I had just left for the trip. And then by this time it was like July 3rd and I was like, "Oh, hey, do you still have, this order that my daughter placed in?" They found it, and so I got that. So that was good. And then I was like looking for like something else and I came across summer decorations and it was lemon stuff. And so I got like this cute like mug and it has lemons on it and, um, and it was all 25% off, so I was like so excited. So I got like this lemon like jar thing and then a lemon mug and, um, these like dish towels that have lemons on it and like this bowl that is a lemon. So I was just so excited, so I put that in the living room actually. Now I actually have to like still go to the store and buy some lemons or some fake lemons and put them in there. But that made me so happy that I just like happened to come across it and it was on sale. And then the other thing about manifestation... Oh, I know what it was. So I had bought these little suitcase locks for my suitcase, and then, of course, I had lost them before our trip, and it was, like, the night before. I'm like, "Where are these stupid locks?" Like, whatever. Hopefully nobody, like, I don't know, steals anything out of my suitcase. It is what it is. I'm the one who lost them, whatever. And then literally, like, right when I sat down to record this podcast, 'cause then, you know, we get home from the trip, and then I'm like, "I have to find these locks because I want to return them a- back to Amazon because I don't need them. I don't want them. I want to return them." And I sit down on the couch to record this podcast, and I'm like, "What is in between the seat cushions?" And I, like, grab the thing, and it's the locks. So I just put into Amazon my return request, so now I can return these locks that I have never opened, uh, for... Yeah. So I'm excited that I finally found them, and I'm like, "Yes." Something to return so it's not wasted money. Okay. So those are my three fun things. Okay. Thank you for listening to another episode, of Manifesting Mondays.
