In Memory: A Story of Manifestation and the 3 R's

This is a story about a dear friend of mine who has since passed on. She was there for me during a time when I needed support the most, and together we explored the art of manifestation ...the law of attraction that shapes our lives.

Dreaming Houses Into Being

We would drive through the countryside, pulling into people’s driveways and saying:

“That’s the house I want. I’m going to manifest it.”

We spent hours imagining what we wanted, practicing manifestation as best as we could. Life eventually separated us, but the foundation of those shared dreams stayed alive.

The Vision Book

When she returned from California after appearing on Dragons’ Den, life had already tested her with cancer and surgery. A few years later, we reconnected and I suggested we create a vision book together. We gathered magazines, cut out images, and laughed and played like children. She envisioned her soulmate ... a man who would love and support her.

We came across one of those perfume sample pages in a magazine. She found a cologne and I said:

“Tear it out and put it in your book. Sniff it every day.”

She smiled and said, “Let’s do one better.” Off to the drugstore we went, and despite her financial struggles, she invested in the cologne itself. That night, we finished our books, laughed, hugged, and said goodbye.

Manifestation in Action

Not long after, she found her soulmate ... the very man she had envisioned. She showed me pictures, glowing with happiness. But cancer returned, and she moved to Mexico with him to build a better life. Despite her determination, the illness grew.

She always believed she could overcome it, yet I sensed her emotions hadn’t shifted deeply enough. When I visited her a few months before she passed, the first thing she said was:

“Come here, Judy, give me some of your healing energy.”

The Deeper Lesson

The law of attraction is real. As Wayne Dyer famously said, “Thoughts become things.” Jesus himself spoke about calling things into being. I’ve lived over 20 years reaping the rewards of manifestation.

But this story reminds me how crucial emotions are. Without balance, harmony, and equilibrium, manifestation remains incomplete.

The 3 R’s of Transformation

My practice has revealed three essential steps:

• Remember who you are at core level
• Recognize your purpose for being here
• Reconnect to your higher self and intuition

These aren’t one-time lessons. They require practice, courage, and conviction. But when paired with aligned emotions, they produce lasting results.

Living Fully in the Now

In memory of my friend, I reflect on the brevity of life. I have five children, six grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. I’ll be 69 next March, and yet I feel as if I’m just beginning to live.

As a child, when asked what I wanted most, I would always answer: “Peace in the world.” Now I know that true peace begins within ... and it flows from the 3 R’s.

Transcendence isn’t a single event. It’s not enlightenment in one sweep, but a daily practice. The more I live this, the less I crave forever, and the more I long to live right now.

Final Note
The 3 R’s are the most important practice you can embrace in your life.
