Make a wish!
Do you know the difference between a fanciful wish and a wish that holds the power to transform your life?
A fanciful wish is a distraction from what don’t like about your life. It takes off just enough of the edge to keep you in an unsatisfying situation.
A transformational wish, however, makes your dreams come true. It gives you the power to create magic and miracles because it arises from your authentic desires and it fuels inspired action.
A transformational wish recognizes that YOU have to transform in order for your life to transform. It implies a willingness to become the person you would have to be to experience what you want to experience.
I drew upon this principle recently to support my daughter Bridget’s journey through another open heart surgery (her 5th). One of the tools I used to help her was a prayer collage…a visual representation of the conscious gathering of prayers and healing wishes coming to her from all over the planet and an invocation of the powers in the unseen world.
On the prayer collage I included pictures representing the two events I’d heard Bridget mention again and again with joyful expectation: her birthday on June 15 and our trip to Ireland in July. We looked at the prayer collage together and talked about those events, and all the love and prayers represented in the collage, several times a day leading up to her surgery.
Thank heaven, Bridget did beautifully during the surgery. One of the first times she woke up in the cardiac intensive care unit, she whispered “Ireland.”
The day before we went home, Bridget wanted to throw a coin into the wishing pond in the beautiful outdoor garden at Children’s hospital. When I asked her later what she’d wished for, she said “Bridget in Ireland.” That same day she threw another coin in the pond to make a wish about her birthday.
Clearly, those two wishes, spoken before the surgery and confirmed after her successful journey through the procedure, had become talismans for her. She was able to feel what it would be like to celebrate her birthday. She could envision herself in Ireland. Those experiences became real for her….and they helped her summon the strength she needed to flourish during surgery.
As Bridget’s mom, I had some deep inner work to do myself to prepare for this experience. It was not enough for me to wish for her to be well. I had to ask myself who this experience called me to be and where I needed to let go. I had to recognize (again, at an even deeper level), that I was not in control here. I had to be willing to change.
Because real magic has nothing to do with changing what goes on in your external reality. Real magic, the manifestation of miracles, involves changing your inner landscape. Real magic involves claiming the miracle even when, especially when, the outer reality seems to mock the wishes that come from your soul.
So what are YOU wishing for, Kimberly?
Is your wish a transformational wish?
Does it call you into your authentic self?
Does it challenge you to become the person you came here to be?
And are you answering the call of your transformational wishes with inspired action?
My wish for you is that all your wishes be transformational wishes.
And that you become the person you wish to become in the process of making those wishes come true.
And If you’d like some help with your transformational wishes, check your email TOMORROW because I’m having a manifestation celebration special on my Home Study Course to celebrate Bridget’s birthday!
(and if you aren’t going to be around tomorrow you can place your order now. We’ll send the orders into the fulfillment house on June 15).

When I read your post on transformational wishes, a light switched on in my head. Manifesting is an important part of my life, but I often feel a bit scattered in my thinking. By implementing the thought of a transformational outcome, I’ve been able to combine my wishes. The thing I need to do is recreate my healthy life style. In doing so, I will become more involved in the arts and more responsible for my physical and emotional well-being. As I create a beautiful and loving environment for myself, I will be preparing to meet the companion with whom I can share my wonderful and transformed life. Thank you so very much for helping me see the need to transform my life and not live in a fantasy that a man will change it for me. Karen
