From Dreams to Reality

A Journey of Manifestation

Hello beautiful soul,

Trust you’re well and life is being kind to you.


Recently, Izzy and I enjoyed a lovely two-night mini break in Ocean Grove, a quaint little seaside town in Victoria.

It was our first trip together, and I have to say Izzy was amazing, making for such an enjoyable time away.

Over the past year, I’ve immersed myself in the art of manifestation – a journey of opening my heart to boundless possibilities.

It’s been a process of introspection, where I’ve confronted limiting thoughts and behaviours, and embraced a more conscious, feeling-centered approach to creation.

Believing in the boundless potential of our dreams is transformative.

Each day, I immerse myself in visualization, gratitude, and anticipation, feeling the emotions of my dreams as if they were already a reality.

This shift in mindset has brought a newfound sense of calm and daily confidence, knowing that everything unfolds in divine timing, often from unexpected avenues.

And, my friend, I can tell you from personal experience that, in the past five months, I have delighted in receiving two of my greatest dreams from unexpected sources, and one of them was Izzy.

It’s truly magical…

I remember hearing the phrase, if you believe they will come, in a movie, and I can honestly say that has been a truth in my life.

The universe, our higher self, God will give us signs and sometimes even a test or two to see if we have faith and truly believe.

In the early hours of my final day in Ocean Grove, while sleeping, I had a dream. I remember looking at my left hand and seeing the most beautiful, vibrant orange ladybugs crawling on my palm and through my fingers—I counted ten.

When I woke, I was excited to research the spiritual significance of the number ten. It represented completion, divine order, and the cycle of creation and manifestation.

YES!

The ladybugs represented – good luck and prosperity.

And the left hand my friend, represents receiving. I was thrilled.

Later that morning Izzy and I went for a walk, and I found a twenty-cent coin glistening on the sandy ground. My first thought was to leave it for someone who may need it more.

Then, I felt an expanded lightness within me, and an inner voice gently nudged me to pick it up. I did, and held it to my heart and said, “Thank you, I AM worthy of receiving and I know as I become more abundant, I can help others, thank you, thank you, thank you.”

It felt amazing, and I felt humbled. Then, I realised this was a test.

For us to receive we must be willing to accept no matter how small or unexpected.

Are you getting the gist of things?

I hope so because I would love to celebrate not only my experiences but to invite you to join me in cultivating a higher vibration of abundance in your life.

True abundance encompasses far more than material wealth – it encompasses vibrant health, nurturing relationships, and a conscious, harmonious existence.

So, my friend, I encourage you to breathe deeply, dare to dream boldly and remember: “If you believe, they will come”—yes, all the signs, gifts, wisdom, and answers you seek.

Love you, Maria x
