A poem I wrote that is published in the 9/07 issue of Pear Magazine

M-A-N-I-F-E-S-T-I-N-G

M - Maintaining the thought that what we want will be

A - Attracting whatever it is that we want to see

N -- Keeping that thought near to us

I -- Establishing an intention built on trust

F -- Freedom to feel that what we want will come

E -- Exercising the thought like the constant rhythm of a drum

S -- Seeing whatever we want before it has been fully manifested

T -- Trusting that our thoughts have been well invested

I -- Inspired throughout the process...from beginning to end

N -- Never abandoning our manifesting rhythm, my friends

G -- Getting what we hoped we would...all because we knew we could!!!

Have a Pear-fect Day!

Wow! It has been ages since I have posted here. I apologize if you've stopped by since my last post to see what's new at Flowing With Nature but found nothing. Christy, I know you said you popped by one day to see what was up; I'm sorry if you found no updates!

It's not that I haven't been writing, because I have. Lately, though, I've been doing more editing/coordinating than writing. The September 2007 issue of Pear Magazine Online recently hit the e-stands, and I had thrown my heart and soul into that issue about Manifesting Our Dreams. While I fully enjoy coordinating any issue of Pear, this latest one, however, spoke to every fiber of my being! I got such an incredibly positive feeling when working on it, when thinking about it, when talking about it.....

~ Could it have been Jinjee's article about Science, Raw Foods, Addiction and The Law of Attraction that got my heart pumping?

~ Or, perhaps it was my Soul-to-Soul Interview with Darla Tarr from Wholistic Living Retreat?

~ Maybe I received some needed clarity from Jinjee's article Embracing Difficulties, Going With The Flow?

~ Or perhaps it was Storm's article that addressed the question Why 100 Percent Raw?

~ I know, I know ...maybe it was yet another of Melissa Gilbert's interesting, insightful raw-foodist celebrity interviews...this time, Up Close and Personal with Angela Stokes from RawReform.com?

~ Hmmh, perhaps a spiritual feeling surrounded me in Jinjee's article she wrote, Why I'm A New Age Christian?

~ Then again, when Sonja Watt's in your presence you can't help but feel overjoyed. Maybe it was her article Do You Want Your Dreams To Come True? that got me all bubbly???

Yet, it could have been the enlightened raw-food related article...another one by Jinjee...The Ultimate Low-Carb Diet – Dark Leafy Greens?

Oh, Oh...but then there were the writings from the amazing raw-food author Angela Elliott and a dear friend of hers, Tom Flower, in their article Making Miracles Happen...or Angela's Gratitude, The Key To All Manifestations or Tom's How Intention, Gratitude and Prayer Work Together?

Got it! Yes, it must have been the article Sister Circle: Sharing Manifesting Testimonials, Intentions, and Song Lyrics that further raised/deepened my love of life and all things of God, and put my passion for this life in the "abundance" category? By the way, a new Pear Magazine writer, Becca Campbell, kicks off that article!

Talking about articles, perhaps it was Jinjee's I Envision Writing An Article that really gave me a blueprint -- or more perspective -- for working through the process of manifesting dreams???

But, let's get real!!! For me, it most certainly couldn't have been any one thing that got me soooo spiritually happy about this September 2007 issue of Pear. The fact -- the absolute fact -- is that all of those writings above came from some of the most positive people one could ever encounter, so how could I possibly not be moved the way I was when working my way through their articles? It was nothing but a blessing...a HUGE blessing that was manifested for me...to work with such great people and be able to feel their sincerity and love of life...and the goodness they see/feel in life. To feel all of that through their writing -- and get to "touch" their writing, so to speak, was indeed a divine blessing for me! ALL of that positive energy in one place! That must be what had my heart beating like it was dancing to a drumbeat during each and every second I worked on coordinating Pear.

I think some other folks are also feeling some of this Pear goodness I'm talking about. One reader wrote...

"...I had tears of joy rolling down my cheeks as I read all the magic in this extraordinary and special issue! My heart is overflowing with gratitude..."

Another said:

"...I love the magazine and the articles...and outlook!"

Now, I say to all.....go on and get yourself a piece of that juicy Pear! :-) I truly think it's something waiting in this issue for everyone! Just take the time to seek....and you will find! :-)

Oh, by the way, that's my son in the picture above. He'll greet you at Pear Magazine! Got to put the children's energy out there, too! :-)

One Love!

Peace & Blessings,

Penny

P.S. See, my heart's dancing to that drumbeat again :-)....and I don't even have the issue opened in front of me. Oh, yes, but I'm writing about it, huh! :-)
