The coolest things I manifested (& I how I did it!)

I’ve found one of the most inspiring things was always hearing other people’s stories; solid proof that they were able to manifest incredible things.

 Because with the Law of Oneness, we all live in the same energy field, we’re all connected, which means what’s possible for one is possible for anyone.

 So, with that, I wanted to share with you my most coolest and surprising manifestations; with the hope that it’ll inspire you that it’s possible for you, too!

Seeing Harry Potter (aka Daniel Radcliffe) IRL

 In the winter of 2011, Daniel Radcliffe was starring for a limited time on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

 I really wanted to see him, as a lifelong Harry Potter fan, but I was a college student at the time, living off whatever small money I was making from my internship, and whatever money my parents would generously give me solely with the intention for food and school supplies, so I wasn’t exactly able to ball out with Broadway tickets.

 Time passed by, and I realized Daniel Radcliffe’s run was ending in a few weeks! I only had a few more chances, but when I looked up tickets they were way too expensive.

 But, I decided not to give up. I realized there was another way. The Universe.

 I had no idea how, but I just knew I would see Daniel Radcliffe in this play.

I set the intention, asked the Universe, said thank you a billion times, and I refused to accept any other outcome.

 The next day, I received an email from my school’s student government group (who would usually inform us about actives and stuff). For some reason, I decided to read it, and this week they were offering a very limited amount of Broadway tickets… specifically to see How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, next week, for $20 each.

 Ahhhhh!

 I emailed them immediately, reserved my spot. And a week later, one of my besties and I went to see the show (and got upgraded seats!) and even wound up getting his autograph after the fact.

 It was so magical.

My senior year apartment in college

 During college, I lived in the dorms from freshmen year to junior year, but come senior year, my friends and I wanted to be more independent and live in our own apartment.

 This was New York City of course, so finding one on budget was pretty hard. We searched everywhere and it was hopeless. They ones within our budget were all either gross, weird, not in a good neighborhood, far from school - or all of the above.

 It was a struggle for sure. We had one really bad, defeated day of looking that led my friends to suggested we’d have to try outside of Manhattan and look into Queens and Brooklyn.

 I did not want to live in the outer boroughs. No offense to those places, but I really didn't want a commute. Plus, I’m from Long Island, so if I was taking a long subway to school into Manhattan from Queens / Brooklyn, what was the difference between taking an hour LIRR train ride from Long Island, without having to pay rent at all? It just defeated the purpose entirely.

 But instead of feeding into my fears and my disappointment, I refused. Not to my friends’ faces because that would’ve been rude lol, I refused internally. I knew we were going to find a place right next to school, with no train commute, right on budget.

 Before I went to sleep that night, I spent all of my energy saying “thank you” a million times over, believing, knowing, completely that there was an apartment 2 blocks from school available for us on our budget.

 I imagined how excited I’d be finding the listing and how even more excited I’d be moving in.

 I kept saying 2 blocks from school. My college was on 23rd street in-between 3rd and 2nd avenue, so in my head I was picturing 25th and 3rd.

 The next morning, I woke up and immediately looked on apartment websites.

 Sure enough, I found an apartment, posted only 1 hour prior to me waking up, located on 21st street and 2nd avenue. 2 blocks from school - but in the other direction!

 The best part? It was only $100 above our budget.

 I immediately contacted the realtor, we saw the apartment the next week, and it was ours.

 My apartment manifestation complete.

Taylor Swift Dream Day

 Another set of tickets, in 2012, I really, really loved One Direction and I wanted to see them in concert so badly.

 I remembered how a year earlier, I manifested broadway tickets, so why couldn’t I do it for One Direction?

 I remember sitting on my couch, envisioning being front row. I could see it and I felt all the feelings of excitement I’d feel being that close. I celebrated and I said thank you a billion times to the Universe.

 Not too long later, I checked my email and saw I received one, only a few minutes prior, from the Taylor Swift fan club. 

 You see, I forgotten I had even signed up for Taylor’s fan club, but I remembered in that moment that I did after her Speak Now Tour when I was super jealous so many people I knew went and I didn’t!

 This message gave Taylor’s fans the opportunity to win the chance to buy pit tickets for only $150. I’m from New York - tickets in the back row were like $300, 400 plus so this was an amazing, incredible deal.

 And you see, there’s only one person I loved more than One Direction and that was Taylor Swift.

 So, I entered.

 And weeks later, I found out I won.

 In March 2013, my best friend and I got to be in the pit section, better than first row, for Taylor Swift’s RED Tour…. Which even a bonus had my other favorite artist, Ed Sheeran opening up.

 This manifestation is proof that you always get this or something better. I envisioned a front row concert, hoping for One Direction, but instead I got better: I got Taylor and Ed and pit section. It was one of the best days of my life.

 And in case you’re wondering I did get to see One Direction three months later in June. No manifestation story there, I just bought last minute tickets, practically emptied out my bank account and trusted that more money would come back - and it did!

 That also was one of the greatest nights of my life.

Tickets to Hamilton

 I know all of these seem to be about tickets so far! But they happen to be my favorite memories.

 In the spring of 2016, I was all in on the Hamilton hype. One of my best friends, a full on broadway lover, played us the soundtrack as we were driving to our other friend’s house an hour away.

 I thought it was so awesome and amazing and so fun. After that, I listened to the soundtrack almost everyday. I had a long commute at the time from Long Island into Queens, which should be 30 minutes no traffic, but was always an hour and fifteen minutes, which was just enough to listen to one act of Hamilton, so I’d listen to the first act going to work and the second act coming home.

 I wanted to see it so badly, but if you were around in 2016, you know how impossible it was.

 Tickets were beyond crazy and I’d enter the lottery everyday to no avail.

 But I remembered, I knew about manifesting!

 I’d envision myself at the Richard Rogers theater, I’d feel exactly how excited I’d be sitting there watching it all unfold, mouthing all the words.

 I said thank you a billion times and I knew it would happen.

 But… it didn’t.

 I kept not winning the lottery.

 No one came out of nowhere to magically give me the tickets.

 This time it wasn’t working.

 Which made me feel kind of sad - did I do something wrong? This was the same method I used to manifest everything else, why wasn’t it working?

 Time went by and I nearly gave up hope of seeing Hamilton.

 That is, until 2018.

 Usually, I went away for my birthday on a fun trip with my friends, but that year it had been highly unlikely because it was a Wednesday. The past couple years my birthdays had been Friday, Saturday, Monday which happened to be Labor Day, which were all prime vacation days.

 A Wednesday? None of my friends would take off on a Wednesday.

 I obviously was still taking off because I always refused to work on my birthday.

 So looked like this year I’d have to stay in New York.

 Then, I had a weird gut feeling, a little voice appear inside my head.

 Wednesday - my birthday was the first day of school here in New York.

 What about a broadway show? They have afternoon shows on Wednesdays, it’d be empty. No one goes on vacation the first week of school.

 What about Hamilton?

 I looked at the tickets for the 2pm showing on my birthday. They were actually affordable! Plus they cost way less than my usual birthday trips!

 I convinced my co-worker who had happened to become basically my best friend to take off that day and go with me. We worked in sports and our particular sport was not in season at the time, so he would have no problem.

 He agreed to go with me.

 These plans were made in July.

 But you see the thing is, this best friend co-worker of mine, I also happened to have a crush on. And turns out, he felt the same about me.

 In August, we wound up going on a date, having the best nights of our lives, and falling deeper in love.

 So, a few weeks later when my birthday came around, not only did I finally get to see Hamilton (and yes it even surpassed the hype and I smiled so so so much while seeing it), but I got to see Hamilton with the man I love.

 We’re still together to this day, btw.

 And that Birthday was one of the best days of my entire life.

 So again, just proof that the Universe is always giving you “this or something better”.

 Sure I could’ve manifested tickets to Hamilton in 2016, but the Universe knew that it would be sooooo much better of an experience for me, waiting two years and seeing it on my birthday with the love of my life.

 And it was :)

 If your manifestation isn’t showing up, don’t worry. It just means it’ll come at a better time, in a better way.

Catching a Puck

 From birth I was a huge Rangers fan (thanks to my mom’s avid passion!) and one of my favorite things was always going to games. In December 2014, we went to a game and while standing down low for practice, my favorite player Mats Zuccarello made eye contact with me and threw me a puck … however the middle aged ladies in front of me jumped up and caught it and kept it.☹️

 In April 2015, I was going to a playoff game with my dad, and this time I was determined I was going to get a puck. I kept visualizing standing down low for practice, and a generic player (I didn’t want to get my hopes up that it would be Zucc again so I just left it open) skating over and throwing me a puck and me catching it. I felt gratitude all day for it and just embedded in my soul of course it was going to happen.

 The time for the game came and when we stood down there for practice, my heart leapt because once again Zuccarello skated over, made eye contact with me, and tossed me a puck. This time, my dad made sure we caught it. Everyone cheered.

 I was so happy - and I deifnitely manifested it! No coincidences.

My laptop’s revival

 This one is still crazy to me. I was in college and my laptop just completely went blank. It was plugged in and nearly fully charged, so no the battery wasn’t dead. The brightness wasn’t down (that had happened to me before too) and I couldn’t turn it on and off. Opening it up and reclining it didn’t do anything. Even letting it sit for a while then trying again did nothing. The screen was just black. The fan wasn’t humming. It was just gone.

 So, after a day of hoping, I had no choice but to go to the Apple Store - because this was pre-iCloud days so all of my homework (my designs and movies), my writings, and personal pictures were on there with no recovery other than whatever I had happened to backup on my massive hard drive (remember those? Lol).

 I was super nervous, defeated, upset, and feeling all of the emotions. I was working on a story too, so I was way more devastated about that than the consequences of losing any of my homework assignments.

 As I was walking to the store, I just kept repeating “thank you, thank you , thank you” over and over again. I imagined my laptop turning on. I imagined feeling so incredibly relieved that everything was there, perfectly in tact. I just knew it and felt it with all of my heart.

 When I got to the Apple store, I told the employee my problem, and then I handed them my laptop. They opened it up and sure enough the screen came back.

 They, of course, were probably super annoyed because my problem turned out to be no problem at all and I pulled the “I swear, this didn’t work for a day, this is the first time it came back!” LOL Isn’t it funny how these things always seem to work once we try to go to get help?

 Either way, I knew it was because I manifested it. I was so grateful to the Universe.

  So, moral of the story, you can manifest things with technology as well!

Leaving A Job

 I had a job with a longgggg commute (2 hours each way via train) and not great pay. I did this job however because it was with a major company I (formerly) wanted to grow within, and I genuinely had liked the work I did.

 But the pay, trains, and some nasty co-workers were too much to handle. After 3 years, I needed to get out of there.

 So, starting in June I randomly picked a day and marked on my calendar September 27th last day of work.

 I then proceeded, every single day, to imagine every day there was my last day of work. I felt gratitude for the job, I was thankful for the parts I did like and focused more on that rather than what irked me.

 I looked around at the office every time I left as if I’d never see it again.

 I’d visualize telling my boss I was putting in my two weeks notice.

 I celebrated every single time I got off the train and pretended like it was my last commute ever.

 I did this literally every single day.

 While doing this too, I did take action steps, and applied to other jobs but I was very whatever about it bc I was already treating it like I was gone.

 Eventually, I did get hired at a new position…

 and my last day of work was September 27th.

A Former Dream Job + My True Love

 Saving the best story for last. This one is crazy too because I don’t even really know how I I did it.

 In September 2016, I was unemployed (because I worked as a Videographer for a summer camp that summer) and it would still be two years before I started my own business.

 So, in those days, I did what any normal person would do: I re-binged watched The Office.

 I had watched The Office all live, but I hadn’t re-watched it since, so it was like experiencing it all over again.

 This time Jim and Pam really hit me. I loved their relationship. I loved that they were best friends, I loved that their romance had time to blossom and bloom that there was no rush, I loved the love triangle drama, I loved their playful nature and how romantic Jim was, I loved that Pam was an artist like me! I loved all of it.

 I remember thinking: “I want a relationship like Jim and Pam!” And I felt all the feelings as I was watching the show.

 I didn’t specify any specific manifestation, I didn’t even know I was manifesting, tbh. But the Universe is always listening. So, my wish got sent out there.

 I also remember, while applying to jobs I felt meh about, looking on the website for my favorite sports league (I was a huge fan my entire life) and wishing I could just work for them!

 Specifically, they had these player personality videos where the athletes would answer silly questions about their favorite tv shows or they’d have to name all the Hogwarts houses, and I loved them.
 Again, I did not set any specific intention to manifest, I just thought about how much I’d like to work for that league. I had previously interned in college for the team I grew up loving, but I remember thinking that my talents would be so much better at the full league. The full league was based out of my city and I knew everything about all the teams, all the players, I’d watch them all. Plus I was a woman in a man driven industry, I knew I’d be an amazing fit.

 But then I forgot about both of these things. I forgot about my wish for a Jim/Pam relationship and I forgot about my wish to work for the league.

 I went on with my life.

 Until, one day, when searching for jobs, I saw one pop up that had been posted less than an hour prior.

 It was an entry-level job for the league I had wanted to work for; and I was definitely over-qualified, and it even said After Effects skills are a bonus.

 I went to school for motion graphics, I was an expert After Effects! It was perfect.

 I applied…. And then a week later I heard back. 

 Long story short, I got the job. And a year later, I wound up being the person who made those silly personality videos. I loved them and I did them all for two years, where they got the highest views they ever did.

 While also in this particular job, I became really great friends with one of the men in my office. We were always joking, always laughing, and yet would frequently talk about deep life things, we’d talk about love and astrology in addition to sports and movies. I just loved talking to him sooo much and he truly became one of my best friends in the entire world and one of my favorite people I’ve ever known.

 Eventually, it was inevitable that we fell in love. Yeah there definitely may have been a Roy and a Karen in there, but like Jim and Pam, it was always meant to be us.

 Sometimes now when I re-watch the Office, I’m shocked at how much my relationship really resembles Jim and Pam…. Except ours is better because it’s us!

 So in this instance, I manifested two amazingly important things, without really even focusing on them at all. As long as you think about what you want and feel it, the Universe will always find a way to bring them to you.

 * * *

 That’s the magic of the Universe, manifestation isn’t something you turn on and off … it’s always in motion.

 So proof, you don’t really have to try so hard to call in what you want. Of course, put in the effort where you feel called too (for example with the job, I had to search and apply!) but the Universe naturally wants to give you what you want, you just have to make your wish, follow your heart, and be led!

 There’s always a greater plan at play and it’ll all always unfold in true Divine Timing.
