The Magic Ingredient of Manifestation
This week I've been talking with our community about the part faith plays in the deliberate manifestation of our desires.

Manifestation Is Like Riding a Bike
The practice of deliberate manifestation can be tricky initially.Â
It reminds me of learning to ride a bike. I remember it so clearly.

I sat down, finally! It was all done!
This task had been on my mind for a LONG time. Â
