It&#8217;s some pretty cool stuff and the more I learn about my own coding, the more I am in awe of the things that were long ago written yet so eloquently fit the patterns of my persona and my life.<\/p>\n<p>One of his greatest specialties is Manifestation Writing, the penning of our dreams and desires.<\/p>\n<p>I liken it to a love request to the universe.<\/p>\n<p>Some call it the Law of Attraction or LOA. My trainer says that writing these things is the strongest and  most effective form because of sound.<\/p>\n<p>In a workshop I took from him a few months back, he talked about how (if my notes are correct) the speed of sound is actually faster than the speed of light, as light is an after-affect of sound.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s where the power of prayer comes in,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m certain he wasn&#8217;t just talking about church and Bible prayer, but all kinds that include the prayer of gratitude and love.<\/p>\n<p>My assignments have been to write, the best kind of sweet, glorious homework I can possibly imagine!<\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s photo diary is pretty bare outside of repeating number sequences that I continue to see.<\/p>\n<p>And as I reflected on the week, that makes complete sense, because the past seven days have been tapped into life&#8217;s audio reel.<\/p>\n<p>Journeyer, have you ever noticed the sound of your pen or pencil scratching out your thoughts or your thirsts for things yet to come?<\/p>\n<p>Do you hear the <em>tap tap tap<\/em> or <em>click click click<\/em> of the keystrokes as you type?<\/p>\n<p>If you have wind chimes, do you hear them from the farthest corner of your home?<\/p>\n<p>Do you hear the wind? When I first told this teacher that I actually hear the wind, I questioned the words that came out of my mouth.<\/p>\n<p>But as this week has unfolded, I&#8217;ve tested that statement and found it to be true, for you can hear the wind as it passes through the contours of your ears.<\/p>\n<p>I hear the wind in the rustling of the leaves.<\/p>\n<p>I hear harmony in the cricket and grasshopper song, which, by the way, I&#8217;ve noticed isn&#8217;t only reserved for night! They play all day long!<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, when Warren and I are sitting in the hot tub, we hear the calls of the wild.<\/p>\n<p>The sound of a clean desk? It&#8217;s in the <em>crinkle crinkle crinkle<\/em> of papers being wadded up and the <em>swoosh<\/em> as they hit the trash can&#8217;s liner.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a sound to camaraderie that exists in the hum of voices and joy in the sound of laughter.<\/p>\n<p>The sound of magic? It&#8217;s in the unspoken and spoken gasp in those moments that take our breath away and in the <em>ahhs<\/em> and <em>oohs<\/em> and sighs of relief.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10176 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/annahelizabeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/The-Sound-of-Love-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"The Sound of Love\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s the sound of success in the <em>ding!<\/em> of the elevator and a new client&#8217;s knock on my office door.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s the sound of comfort in the <em>whir<\/em> of my AC on a ninety-degree day.<\/p>\n<p>The sound of nature&#8217;s nurture in the rains on our rooftops.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s the sound of pride that exists in the <em>bbbbrrrrr<\/em> of a lawn mower or the soft <em>thwap thwap thwap<\/em> of an American flag fluttering on a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s the <em>SMACK!<\/em> of a smooch and the <em>brush<\/em> sound of skin against skin.<\/p>\n<p>These are some of the things that filled my happy this week, Journeyer, those fleeting moments that I chose to recognize, to hear, and to honor by sharing them with you.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s my way of breathing positivity back out onto the planet, one of the simplest ways we can heal ourselves and others.<\/p>\n<p>Journeyer, these otherwise inconspicuous instances are <strong>the sound of love<\/strong>, love for our lands, love for our work, and love for the people around us.<\/p>\n<p>At speeds greater than we can possibly imagine, paying tribute to those symphonies that fill our days and nights is one of the ways we imprint happiness onto our soul.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Neighbor, for the sounds of your thoughts. I invite you to share one or more of your week&#8217;s music in a comment below and look forward to hearing your happiness!<\/p>\n<p>Until next time, yours in hope, healing, and happiness,<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7123 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/annahelizabeth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Annah-Elizabeth-Signature-300x52.jpg\" alt=\"Annah Elizabeth Signature\" width=\"300\" height=\"52\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Sunday, Journeyer!
