2011 has started off great thus far! Won’t get into details, but this New Year’s celebration was unlike any I’ve had before. I did one thing that I’ve never really done before, and at that moment it hit me that THAT will probably be the theme of my 2011 – doing things I’ve never done, and growing in new ways…I feel infinitely blessed and ready for what’s to come!
I was just looking in my journal, which I’ve written in sporadically since 2008. I read one entry dated May 17, 2009 , where I titled it “Write it, Speak it, Believe it, Create it”, and quite simply, wrote in point-form what I wanted to accomplish. Most things popped out on the list because they actually came true the way I wanted them to, and it just shows me the power in thoughts becoming things.
I read something on Twitter about the origins of the word abracadabra, and I thought it was B.S. until I did some research. There are a few different definitions (most of them strained), but the most consistent seems to be that the word is based on the ancient Aramaic language, and translates directly from “abraq ad habra” = “I will create as I speak”.
Something interesting to come across, especially at this time of the year when everyone is wiping slates clean and starting off fresh with new resolutions and the like. For me, it’s just fortified the fact that I need to be clear about what I want in this life, speak it so that I can’t dismiss it as a random thought in my mind, and act on it. I know that what’s meant for me will be mine, but it’s a wide world out there, and there is much to conquer!
