Back in the fall of 2008 and then during this winter, my brother kept reminding me....Dream It...Believe It....Live It...regarding this beach vacation in St. Joseph. I was the doubting Thomas, couldn't imagine that we would actually find the additional funds, couldn't imagine that we would actually make it. Ken was right...Dream It...Believe It...Live It.
The end to a most glorious week has come. Today our blessing for the final day was the arrival this a.m. of some of the Shirer family from outside Chicago. It is always a good day when you can spend it with family and friends.

Words to live by Linda. I am glad you made it happen for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting us experience this vacation vicariously - loved the pictures and stories.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a Great Vacation! What a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteAnd we WILL get back to the Silver Beach, so long as we intend it to be so. Echoing your thoughts above, keep in mind where we were early in January when I felt it was time to put St. Joe’s on the front burner. And those initial conversations where it seemed as though (while a great idea) it just wasn’t something that even looked feasible for summer, 2009. But once intended, we were locked in within two weeks!
ReplyDeleteEarly on in Paulo Coehlo’s “The Alchemist”, there’s a compelling line which presents the premise for the entire story, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” And that brings to mind that inspired little piece of wood I came upon while in the Clifton Mills gift shop. Beyond simply being a “cute” phrase, it actually speaks Truth. Within its six words is contained the entire Law of Attraction:
DREAM IT… BELIEVE IT… LIVE IT
Reading your blog, my memory was nudged. I went back to read how I responded to your very first Flipside entry on January 3rd; the gauntlet I laid down then. Now here on the other side of St. Joseph, our dream realized, it is so exhilarating to reflect on what we have just demonstrated. Once we completely believed in the feasibility of this vacation, a glide path opened delivering us to the door of what became a memorable life experience. Consider even how the back half of the rental fee for the cottage came to us without either of us ever needing to draw a single dime out of our bank accounts!!!
Intend the fulfillment of the desires welling up within your heart, actively work to discard your ego’s constant attempts to scuttle the whole enterprise through doubt, and gloriously experience the dream come to pass.
DREAM IT… BELIEVE IT… LIVE IT
That's my brother. Can you see why he is such a GREAT travel companion!
