How I \"manifested\" 2 dream homes on different continents, dream vacations to exotic destinations around the world and more
Over the years, I've "manifested" some crazy stuff and today, I'm going to tell you exactly how I did it and how you can too!
It all started around 2008. I was always an avid student of personal development and I stumbled across some teachings from Bob Proctor that spoke about the concept of gratitude and how it has the power to completely transform your life and bring you the things you desire.
So I decided to test it out for myself and the results were nothing short of astounding!!
What follows is my story of how gratitude completely transformed my life in ways I could not have expected.
Every day as I was driving the kids to and from school, I started giving thanks out loud for all my blessings. I must have looked pretty strange to the other drivers, who probably wondered why I was talking to myself, but I didn't care.
I would thank God for all the blessings in my life, both big and small. As I drove, I would give thanks for whatever blessings came to mind....from a roof over my head to a warm meal, the car I was driving, my health and eyesight, the ability to walk, my beautiful children, the resources I had at my disposal such as the Internet, my computer and phone....the blessings were many.
I thanked God for even the "small" things like the freshly brewed cup of coffee I had that morning or the airconditioner in my car or my child's beautiful smile or warm hug. I thanked God for it all.
As I gave thanks for each thing, I truly felt gratitude in my body. I didn't just give thanks verbally, I felt it on a deep, emotional level as well. This only took a few minutes to do and by the time I was done, I was feeling so deeply thankful and grateful for all my blessings and like was the luckiest woman in the world.
I didn't stop there. Once I was in this deep state of gratitude, I would start giving thanks for everything I wanted. These were all the things I didn't have but desperately wanted.... a
6-bedroom home with a pool and a large garden, a trip to Disney World (my dream ever since I could remember) and vacations to exotic destinations every year.
Now keep in mind that at that time, my husband had just started a small business using a loan taken from his mother. I was a stay-at-home mom. We were living in a modest
3-bedroom home and I had never been anywhere out of my home country of South Africa.
We had just come out of years of poverty and hardship and for the first time, our basic needs were covered. But there was little money for anything extra.
A big home of my own, a trip to Disney and international travel were all "impossible" goals.
But I started giving thanks for them as if they were a reality for me in that moment.
"Thank you God for my beautiful 6-bedroom home with a large garden and a pool." And as I gave thanks, I imagined living in a large, spacious home. I imagined my children playing in the garden and having fun splashing around in the pool on a hot summer day and I felt the gratitude I would feel if this was a reality in the present moment.
I gave thanks for my trip to Disney and imagined myself standing in front of the iconic Disney Castle.
I imagined myself going on vacations to exotic destinations every year.
And what happened over the next few years was nothing short of astounding.
The next year, we purchased a 4-bedroom home with a large garden and pool. We then added on two new bedrooms and I now had the 6-bedroom home I had always wanted.
Item number one checked off on my list.
Eighteen months after moving into our home, I was scrolling on the RCI website looking for a vacation I could book for the upcoming easter school holidays. On a whim, I decided to check the International section and found a week in Malaysia for R987.00 (That's around $56!)
I was amazed at the price and booked it without a second thought. A few hours later RCI emailed me to say that there was a mistake with the price on the website and it should have been R9870.00. They had left out a zero when listing the price.
I wrote back and told them that since they had advertised it at that price, they were obligated under the Consumer Act to honour it. To my amazement, they did!
That April, my family and I went on our first international trip. I was 35 years old and this was my first international vacation. The second item on my list was checked - my first exotic travel destination.
You would think that one International trip a year would be amazing enough, right? Especially when you have such a large family.
But God wasn't done yet. In December that year, we took our first trip to the US. And I got to visit Disney World in Florida. We got to visit all the Disney Parks, Universal Studios and even Miami for a week. And I got to take my nephew with and give him the dream holiday of a lifetime!

Over the next few years, regular international travel became the norm...Saudi Arabia, Malaysia for the second time, Singapore, a cruise to Dubai and its emirates, Oman, New York for my 40th birthday (with my kids) and more.

In 2014, my husband and I decided to open a business in the US. Since he hated cold weather, we decided to open a business in the sunshine state, Florida.
We settled in beautiful Tampa and trips to Disney became a regular occurrence. We travelled regularly between the US and South Africa, living for a few months at a time in each place and homeschooling the kids.
And I got my second six-bedroom home in the US - complete with my white Mercedes parked in the driveway.
So I ended up with not one, but two six-bedroom houses on two continents. All the impossible goals had come true with the grace of God and by tapping into the power of gratitude.
I received more than I had ever dreamed possible.

To see first-hand the power gratitude has to transform lives is truly mindblowing.
Since then, many amazing things have come into my life, including the business of my dreams, living in the magical city of Istanbul for 18 months, a dream apartment in Istanbul with breathtaking views, a 5-star luxury trip to Bali, a car, and many other blessings.
I continue to work on upgrading my money consciousness and my capacity to receive and I can help you to do the same.
But if you've tried gratitude before and haven't experienced phenomenal results like these. then there may be a few things that are blocking your manifestations.
Block Number One: Childhood Programming
The first thing that may be blocking your abundance is your childhood programming around money and wealth.
If you believe, even subconsciously, that money is evil, that rich people are greedy or selfish, or that having a lot of money will somehow make you a bad person, then you're going to have a hard time making and keeping money.
You must clear these out so that you can manifest your goals with ease and speed.
Clearing out any negative programming so that you can start to attract wealth, abundance and more of what you want into your life is one of the most important things I take clients through in my Feminine Money Mastery Mentorship.
Once your money blocks are uncovered and cleared, you open yourself up to receiving more of the blessings God has in store for you.
Block Number Two: Your Level of "Deservingness"
The second thing that can stop blocks manifestation is not believing you're worthy of good things.
This one can have the most devastating consequences. It's like manifestation in reverse, where you stand to lose everything you have because you feel, on a deep subconscious level, that you don't deserve it.
In my Feminine Money Mastery Mentorship I help clients to work on increasing their level of deservingness so that they can open themselves up to receiving more.
Block Number Three: Believing that you have to know the "how"
The third thing that prevents people from setting impossible goals, including really bold, audacious money goals is believing that they have to know the "how."
If you knew how to achieve a goal, it wouldn't be an impossible goal. Not knowing the "how" is what makes the goal a seemingly "impossible" goal.
Your job is not to figure out the how. Your job is to trust that what you want is on its way to you the same way you would trust that what you want is on its way to you the same way you would trust the chef is preparing your meal once you place the order.
There's an infinite number of ways in which your desires could manifest. It's not up to you to figure out the best and fastest way to get there. Leave that up to God.
Your job is to maintain complete trust and to work on clearing any fears, doubts and blocks that may be standing in the way of taking inspired action.
Inspired action may be those small whispers, those small nudges to do something, call someone or go somewhere.
Ideas will come and circumstances will align with your intentions. It's almost as if the fabric of the universe changes to align with your intentions.
The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves, too.
All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occurred.... unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Johann Wolfgan Van Goethe
It's an awe-inspiring, humbling experience to watch your desires manifest in front of your eyes.

Block Number Four: Losing faith when nothing seems to be happening
Another thing that keeps people from manifesting is losing faith when nothing seems to be happening.
Some goals manifest really quickly. Like the time I got a car in less than a week or the time I got a dream apartment with amazing views of Istanbul in less than three weeks.
At other times, things take longer. For those bigger, more "impossible" goals, it may be challenging to keep the faith when nothing seems to be changing in your 3D external reality.
It's at times like this that it's incredibly helpful to have the support of a coach who has been through this process many times and who can help you to deal with any negative thoughts and fears that come up so that you can keep holding the faith and staying on track.
If you don't, it's too easy for those fears and doubts to take over completely and to start believing it will never happen. And that's a surefire way to stop manifestation in its tracks.

Block Number Five: Letting your ego take over
This isn't so much a block as something to be wary of as you start to manifest your goals. It's very easy for your ego to take over and for you to start thinking that this is all your doing and to start to feel arrogant and a bit smug.
But when you do that, you put yourself at risk of losing it all. I've seen this so many times and I've experienced it in my own life.
I've even heard Russell Brunson (the co-owner of a super successful software company) speak about this in an interview. He said every time his ego got a bit too big, something would go horribly wrong and it would bring him down to size very quickly.
It happened a few times until he learned the importance of staying humble. There's a reason that pride comes before a fall is a truism.
So stay humble and realize that you're simply operating within the confines of universal laws that God has set in place. These laws work all the time, much like gravity works all the time.
The universal law in this case is gratitude. If you are grateful for the blessings you have, you will receive more. It works every single time.
Block Number Five: Letting your ego take over
If you're ready to manifest your seemingly impossible financial goals and you're ready to do the deep inner work that makes it all possible, then you may want to consider one-to-one coaching with me in my exclusive Feminine Money Mastery Mentorship.
Together, we'll:
- Uncover and clear out the blocks that are holding you back. These blocks are unique to you and include things like your childhood programming around money, issues around worthiness and deservingness, money and goal trauma and more. Clearing out these blocks is crucial to manifesting your goals.
- Support you in the accomplishment of your "impossible" financial goals and prevent you from self-sabotage as you work toward those goals.
- Keep your nervous system regulated as you work toward achieving your financial goals. When you set a big "impossible" money goal and it starts showing up, your nervous system can go into full-on panic mode because the change is too much to handle. Your subconscious mind associates all this change with danger and it wants you to move back to what's safe and familiar. And if you don't know how to handle this, you could easily end up sabotaging yourself. I'll help you to navigate these bumpy periods with as much ease and grace as possible so that you continue to grow and expand.
- Go deep into manifestation and I'll teach you everything I know about becoming a master manifestor. I can promise this is unlike anything you've ever done before and it's solidly grounded in how the latest neuroscience.
- Give you the tools, strategies and systems to help you become a Master Money Manager. Because in order to truly open yourself up to receive great wealth, you need to become an excellent steward of it. Sometimes what's holding us back from earning lots of money is not knowing how we'll handle and manage it responsibly and in a way that displays good stewardship.
If what you've just read sounds like exactly what you need, and you're ready to achieve your "impossible" financial goals and master money whilst still staying true to yourself and your core values and honoring your feminine energy, this is exactly what you've been looking for.
Because the Feminine Money Mastery Mentorship is an exclusive, one-to-one coaching program, I can only work with a maximum of 10 clients at a time.
