Today is the day I finally sign the lease on my new space for my vision. My vision of creating a sanctuary for women in the midst of NYC. It took months, but I never lost the vision or the desire to do so. It was worth the wait and I'm happy I didn't give up. There were definitely times I was about to settle for a shared space or something really small. But, I decided to stay the course.

When it comes to your desires, do you believe it just won't happen? Do you find yourself in a negative thinking rut, saying things like, "That's never going to happen." or " There are NEVER any hot men at the bar ."  Do you hear yourself saying these thins all the time?

It's time to stop.

Positive thinking actually elevates the energy of your desires and in return brings your desires to you even faster.
