Going Right to the Top and Going Public

      I left life in small town USA two years ago, for the lure of a tropical paradise without much to fall back on. Twice, I've run out of money and come running home. Well I'm headed back for the third time and it's bound to be the charm. I am more determined to make this work, than I've been about anything in my life. I'll use every resource there is but rather than messing around with the little ones, I'm going right to the top. I know what I want and I believe the strength of my intention will bring it to me and set the circumstances, allowing me to live the life of my dreams.


      Intentional living has been around for a long time. From "reaping what you sow" in biblical times, to the more modern, "what comes around goes around," all of humanity lives this way whether they know it or not. In recent times, movies like The Secret, have introduced the idea into mainstream thinking. "Create your own reality" and "Thoughts become things" - Are they just catch-phrases or are they symbols of an intensely profound concept? I am here, along with you, to find out.
      Obviously, I believe in the power of intention. I learned of it twenty years ago and have used it many times. What makes this time different, is that I have much more at stake, for in a sense, my life is on the line.
      Have you ever heard of someone who, in an effort to proclaim their faith in God, forsakes all their worldly possessions and declares that God will provide? I've always been a bit suspicious of such a thing. Why challenge God? Yet somehow I have, inadvertently, almost put myself in the same position. I left my old life, without much to come back to if the new one didn't work. My outlook did not allow for that possibility. Now, faced with dwindling resources, I've been working on a new plan, but its success is yet to come and my time is running out. Oh, I'll never be homeless. There is always a way to get by. But I don't want to just get by. I want to grow and create, honing my skills, using my talents, giving my gifts to the world in a joyous celebration and I happen to want to do it in Costa Rica.
      So here's the deal: I have one month and one day until I'm on the plane back to Costa Rica. I have about $300.00 in the bank and a house to get rented in four days so that my mortgage gets paid and I can leave. Today is Saturday. My intention is to have found the perfect renter by Monday and to have $5000.00 in the bank by the 20th of October, one week before I leave. Why wait til the last minute, right? I do not know how this will happen. I only know that it will.
      This is my life. It belongs to me and I am unwilling to accept living it less than to its fullest.  I am using the law of attraction and my power of intention to get me where I need to go and, yes, I am doing it in public! I will write each day for one month, telling of the techniques and reporting my progress. I have no hidden motives and no need to force a happy face. Countless questions will arise and I intend to explore them honestly, sharing victory or defeat and inner quandaries.
      I'm very interested in your comments, whatever they may be. I have never exposed my inner self to the world in this way and I want to hear its response. If you would like to know more about me and the background to this story, you can find it on my web site:
