Our Words Are Our Wands

There are several books by American author Florence Scovel Shinn (circa 1925) that do a beautiful job illustrating (by the written word) ideas and concepts related to The Law of Attraction. Ms. Shinn’s work is the inspiration for my glorious life and for the title of this article.

If you are unaware of what The Law of Attraction is, consider this BLOG as a smack upside the head requesting you to pay attention to the words you say, as they are the main power you have to live your best life.

***************************

This story begins on a passenger aircraft in July 2021 headed from Phoenix, Arizona, to Burbank, California.

?

With a golden tan and beautifully coiffed hair that only a hundred hours on the golf course and quality time at the best salon can buy, the Country-Club couple sitting next to me on our way to Burbank were definitely out of their element on the Southwest flight.

?

With decades of air travel experience under my belt (I am married to a pilot, after all), other than the typical mid-day flight running a few minutes behind schedule and the FAA-mandated mask requirement, the flight began with a normal amount of ease.

?

Experienced travelers and business-minded folks boarded the 737 Airbus in a speedy manner with all the nervous energy of a new executive making her first big deal. Whereas the more inexperienced travelers, mostly comprised of families headed to a vacation destination, made their way slowly and clumsily with a great deal of excited vitality and awkwardness.

?

As one of the last travelers on the full aircraft, I was happily expecting and truly blessed to find a window seat (my favorite) mid-aircraft. (I mean, how lucky am I?!) I pulled out my traditional travel cross stitch project and made myself comfortable for the speedy-quick flight.

?

Because I am more of an extrovert than an introvert (my Myers-Briggs tests always come back with a balanced middle between E and I, erring on the side of E), and because I am also an entrepreneur, I almost always welcome the potential for chit-chat with a stranger. That said, I do not typically start the conversation because I understand that not everyone enjoys chatting on airplanes, and I don’t ever want anyone to feel obligated.

?

That day my mood was curious to learn more about this interesting couple sitting next to me, so I avoided putting in my earbuds, and I listened for an opportunity to banter, though it didn’t seem likely to come.

?

With only 45 minutes of anticipated airtime, the Flight Attendants did their safety thing and once we reached cruising altitude, they quickly took drink orders and manually carried them on trays to the passengers. When the flight attendant in charge of our row returned with incorrect drink orders for all three of us (I’d decided to think of the couple as “Muffy” and “Chip”), Muffy made that annoyed sigh I’ve heard other disgruntled people make. She then said something to the air around her that told me about who she was at her core, more than any of the brand name clothing or disenchanted attitude I witnessed from this very posh couple.

?

“Nothing is easy,” she said.

?

Without hesitation or thought or second-guessing myself, the “genie voice” inside my head repeated a mantra statement I’ve programmed myself to remember thinking, especially when I say something I need to rephrase because it’s not what I meant to say.

?

“Your wish is my command,” my inner genie voice chided.

?

“And so it is,” another inner voice giggled.

?

“RESET! RESET! RESET!” my third inner voice yelled, then rephrased Muffy’s statement. “Everything good comes easily and naturally to me… and to all those with whom I interact.”

?

I spent the rest of the flight wondering if Muffy or Chip would interact with me, but alas they did not.

?

Before we parted ways, I (vibrationally) sent them some extra loving energy.

***************************

Bearing witness to this sort of exchange between a stranger and the Universe/God, is a great reminder of all the things I am doing well in this lifetime:

·???????I ask Universal Source/God for what I want.

Here’s an example: I am healthy; I am wealthy; I am wise.

·???????I am not lucky, but rather?intentional?because I am thoughtful about the words I use.

·???????When I reframe a low vibration statement I hear, it reminds me of how powerfully connected we all are and that my new (higher vibration) statement is 1,000’s of times more powerful than anyone’s low vibration statement.

·???????I am humbled by such power.

·???????I am reminded, “Holy moly! This magic works!”

?

Our words are indeed our wands. Use your words wisely, my friends. And, if you need help, I am here for you, and I believe in you!
