More to the Story Podcast with Janna Maron The Universe Will Send You What You Ask For
This week I want to tell you a story about an experience I had a the beach and relate it to something I’ve been learning about and focusing on in my life and observing how it manifests in our writing, creative, and publishing lives.
In this episode:
- my husband Jeremy and I have been vacationing in Baja California, Mexico and we recently decided to see how it would be to drive there from our home in Northern California
- on our visits we take daily walks on the beach and would collect sea shells
- I really wanted a whole sand dollar, and I found a lot of broke pieces but never found a whole one
- I found not one, but two on our most recent trip, but not exactly what I wanted
- unrelated, I was reading the book 10x Is Easier than 2x, and one concept that really stuck with me for how to measuring progress and success with a perspective that is either negative or positive
- how this negative vs. positive perspective for measuring success shows up in our creative life
- an example from a conversation I had with a woman at the AWP conference I attended in LA last month
- the sand dollars are on the alter by my window as a reminder of the message that the universe will send me what I ask for, but maybe not how I expect
- check out the show notes for this episodes to see a picture of the sand dollars
- ask the universe for your own reminder and see how it manifests
