I had a whirlwind weekend and I wanted to take a moment to share how I manifested it.
Thursday night as I was going to bed, I was really thinking “I wanna go to the beach Saturday.” I was on my way to sleep, eyes already closed. I thought to myself “I should look at my texts from my Mom and see what dates she was talking about going to the beach.” Because I was already on my way to sleep, I didn’t want to open up my phone. I just figured I’d look it up in the morning.
Basically, I wanted to go to the beach, but didn’t want to really have to spend money to do so. It’s not my pay week so I didn’t want to spend more than $20. I also didn’t want to put the wear and tear on my car seeing as how I need a new tire, an oil change, ya know, regular maintenance.
I woke up Friday morning to a text from my Mom about going to the beach! {I never did find the other text I was looking for, I must have deleted it by mistake.}
Now, I was thinking of just going to Atlantic Beach, the closest to me. My Mom was talking more Carolina Beach which is more South of me. It went from just going to the beach to making a weekend out of it with an overnight stay at a hotel to boot!
I had a wonderful weekend that included going to Carolina Beach, the hotel pool, going to Carrabba’s for dinner, the hotel pool the next day and then going to Topsail Beach. It was me, my Mom and the kids. It was their first time in a hotel and they really enjoyed that. We normally stay in a beach house.

We decided that next summer we’ll do the vacation rental again. No more of this. We love the beach too much!
I am getting the hang of this LOA thing! I’m learning and tweaking and am excited to see all of the great things I can bring into my life. It’s definitely an exciting journey J
