🎙️ S2 Ep. 27: Manifesting Monday ✨ In a World of Clear Umbrellas I Choose Light Blue 🩵

Manifesting Monday is back!

This week, I'm sharing a fun story from my Korea and Japan trip about a sparkly Cat Corn bag, a light blue umbrella, and the little manifestations that reminded me life is always listening.

Sometimes the smallest moments become the biggest reminders that we're supported exactly when we need it.

In this episode we talk about:

•  Feeling safe while exploring South Korea 
•  The unexpected Cat Corn bag that appeared right when I needed it 
•  Why I chose the light blue umbrella instead of the clear one everyone else had 
•  Trusting the little signs from the universe 
•  Choosing what feels uniquely you 

Remember...

In a world full of clear umbrellas, don't be afraid to be the light blue one. 💙

You've had the permission all along. ❤️

Whether you're driving, folding laundry, out for a walk, or sipping your favorite cup of coffee, thank you for being here. Take what you need, and leave the rest. And oh, by the way, you've had the permission slip all along. It lives within you. Now, let's dive into today's episode Today's story is a fun and quick one. My son Michael and I had just landed in South Korea, the first stop on our Korea and Japan trip. We got settled into our hotel and later that evening, we realized we needed bottled water and a few snacks, so we headed out for a quick walk to the nearest 7-Eleven. It was around nine-thirty PM at night on a weekday. There weren't many people out, but from the moment we stepped outside, my nervous system felt incredibly safe. It was dark. There were some people around, but there was no trash scattered on the streets, no homeless people around, and I wasn't worried someone was going to jump out or rob us like I would be on a typical night in Seattle. Everything felt peaceful, calm, and orderly like it was two PM in the light of day on a typical city day. It was one of those moments where your body just relaxed without even realizing it, but I realized it because it wasn't normal for walking in the city in the nighttime. The seven-eleven was about an eight-minute walk from our hotel. As we were walking, I said out loud, "I wish I had brought a bag to carry the water bottles and snacks back to our hotel." Within about a minute, I looked down and there was reusable shopping bag lying on the ground. I picked it up, and it wasn't just any reusable bag. It was a light blue washable sparkly bag with three cute black kittens on it sitting in a bucket of popcorn. It was so adorable. It had the words on it, "Cat Corn." It was perfect for a big water bottle and snacks for our 7-Eleven, trip. I was thrilled. It was perfect timing, no doubt. Also, everybody knows I love the color hot pink, but my other favorite color is shades of blue, but especially light blue. I have a favorite light blue ring I wear daily I got from India, and since then, blue has been popping up in my life. Let's see. What else do I have that's light blue? My laptop is light blue. The journal I brought on this trip is blue. The umbrella I would eventually buy on this trip was light blue. Now, this adorable little Cat Corn bag is light blue. It felt like one of those little winks from the universe, exactly what I needed exactly when I needed it. When we arrived in Japan, our very first day, it was raining buckets. Like, it was raining so hard. So I bought a poncho, and Michael bought a clear umbrella, and really, like, 80% of our group bought clear umbrellas that day. And I was like, "Oh, how bad can it be? My poncho will be fine." Nope. On day two, I was like, "Nope, I need to find an umbrella." And I was like, "No way, I'm not buying a clear umbrella to get it mixed up with everybody else. I'm gonna find a unique one for me." I didn't want the same clear one everyone else had. I wanted one that felt like me. So I kept looking, and then I found it, So I'm looking and stuff, and out of all of them, I was like, "Oh, my gosh. It's a light blue umbrella. That's perfect. I'm gonna buy that one because I wanna match my new light blue cat bag I was ridiculously happy over an umbrella, but it reminded me of something. Sometimes life gives us exactly what everyone else has, and sometimes if we're willing to wait just a little longer, we find the thing that feels uniquely ours. In a world full of clear umbrellas, be the light blue one. Sparkle, shine, and never underestimate the magic of asking for what you need, even if it's something as simple as a reusable bag. Sometimes the smallest manifestations remind us that we're supported in bigger ways than we realize. Thank you so much for spending a few minutes with me today. If this episode made you smile, I'd love for you to share it with someone who needs a little reminder that life is always listening. Until next time, keep making space, keep believing, and remember, you've had the permission all along. Here are some journal prompts. What small winks from the universe have I experienced recently that I may have overlooked? Number two, where in my life am I settling for clear umbrellas instead of waiting for what truly feels like me? Number three, what is one simple desire I can confidently ask for today trusting that my life is listening? Here are three mantras. I am supported in both the big moments and the small ones. Two, what is meant for me finds me with perfect timing. Three, I give myself permission to choose what feels aligned with my heart. Now, here are three takeaways. Number one small manifestations build trust. The little moments often remind us that we're supported just as much as the big ones. Two, feeling safe allows us to notice more beauty, gratitude, and possibility around us. Three, don't be afraid to wait for the light blue umbrellas. What truly fits you is always worth looking for.
