Creatively Manifesting

My Dream Home

I do not own the rights to these photos.

I must have lived in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain in a past life, and it must have been pure magic because the draw to homes with white walls, s-tile roofs, pops of color, terra-cotta tile, and mountain views in this lifetime—is indescribable.

This is a tale of my dream home being intertwined with past lives, parallels (no joke), daydreaming, and the power of knowing anything is possible in this Universe.

Gratitude, calmness, familiarity, nirvana, excitement, and knowing that this is where I belong: theses are all of the emotions running through my body when I visualize myself walking the long hallways of the home I have created.

I’ve been designing floor plans and 3-D renderings since I was about nine years old... in my mind! It started happening when I was laying in bed, getting ready to drift off into dreamland. I found myself starting with just sketches for plans, and when I was done with the floor plan I went further and I started designing the exterior the interior decor. The dream home submitted is a compilation of the very first home I designed, and the most recent one, which consists of my love for Spanish/Mediterranean architecture.

I actually went to school for architectural drafting and interior design, assuming that with this brain of mine, mind of creativity and constant sketching meant that I’m supposed to be an architect! Of course it made sense. Welp, absolutely nothing evolved of that career path, because my daydreaming actually enfringed on keeping my head in the books and kept it in the clouds. 12 years post graduation in architectural drafting and not a single AutoCad application had been opened to render a single floor plan. I’m now actually a spiritual life coach and psychic medium—far from the white-collared position, I would say.

My vivid imagination, my dedicated daydreaming, my fulfilling love for design, and the always-flowing bliss I feel from looking at “pretty things” in homes— seems to serve a completely different purpose than the one I had assumed. Turns out that who I am, and the way I am; the way I use my imagination to draw up these home designs in my mind, has nothing to do with becoming an architect and everything to do with manifesting my dream home. Yes!

We moved to CO almost 2 years ago because... well, the mountains were calling me. That’s all I can say. Luckily, my husband hated IL, so off we went with Mikey, our 2yo, and our 3 cats. Can I tell you what I found in those mountains? Euphoria and the ultimate evolution of spirituality. This would just turn out to be another piece of the necessary recipe to my manifesting. When becoming spiritual, I started understanding what manifesting even was, and it all fell into my lap in such perfect and synchronization timing for me to receive clear knowing of what my next step should be.

I started mind-sketching a new home, which, as mentioned, was slightly carrying over some aspects of the homes I created as a child and in adolescence. My home has long hallways, wall to ceiling, black framed windows, numerous arched windows, white walls throughout, arched hallways, mountain views, oak wood floors, natural and earthy tones with pops of color. This home is the home. I can feel it in my bones. When I was done defining every corner, I took to some drafting paper and purchased myself an architectural ruler. January was the month when I decided that this sketch was not going to be just thought out to paper, but I decided that I was going to make my Dream a reality, so i took to manifesting. And so the feels continued.

Maybe about April, I was having one very bad day and I started cycling emotions of defeat. For the first time since January, I was asking myself “who do you think you are to think you can have this home. How? Get your head out of the clouds.” It was a sad day, but the Universe had interjected to say “no, no, child, you keep that head in the clouds, because your dreams are going to come true.” I had a call with a client that day who wished to hear from a loved one who had passed; her husband. Guess what she told me; she was sad because she had been wanting to sell her home she lived in with her husband, the one he had manifested. Yes. She told me he manifested it, and it all started with a vision and a sketched out floor plan. Talk about massive feels of gratitude. She even went on to inform me that her daughter is a designer and keeps telling her to create a 3D floor plan to attract her new dream home into her reality. This is one of those “you can’t make this stuff up” moments!

My vibes went up, way up. My determination came back, and my clear knowing that I was in the stages of co-creating my dream home was more ignited than even before. I went back to taking inspired action. I made sure to drive to the mountains to look at land—even called agents to walk the plots. I started my Pinterest board (link attached), and I made sure to show gratitude to this home, in my mind, on a daily basis. I started scripting, even, and what an adventure into the imagination that is!

After that confirmation, I had an interesting moment in my kitchen while washing dishes. The sink in our current home faces a wall of windows. It was night time, and all of a sudden, I had a flash of myself, also washing dishes, but in the kitchen of my dream home. Talk about bizarre parallel experiences. It felt a bit like deja vu, or an instant download of an experience in that home, while still being in mine. But guess what—in manifesting, that’s how realities are created. Another confirmation!

In being a life coach, I had also known all about the mental and emotional aspects which intertwined with the spiritual aspect of manifestations, and I knew I had to train my brain to believe that it was already mine. My heart knew it, but my brain needed to be on the same page. Luckily, the brain believes whatever we tell it to believe, so that was going to just take repetition, from what I assumed. It turned out that all of those spontaneous and fun activities listed above did the trick, and I didn’t have to “think” too hard about it!

I’ve gotten to a place where I know the possibility of building this home is an actuality; it’s already mine in this lifetime’s timeline. I’ve aligned and I know that time, monetary needs, and all of the other “hows” are just something which will unfold with graceful guidance from the Universe as the days go by. For now, I will cherish the deep gratitude I feel for every nook and cranny, every floor panel and wall, and every window which allows me to connect with the mountains I have grown such a spiritual relationship with.

So, can I tell you about my dream home? This home is one set in the mountains, somewhere, with beautiful landscaping, maybe a lake close by, a modern Spanish design with your common s-tile shingles, big black framed widows and doors, arches in every hallway, and of course; white walls throughout. I made it a functional layout for day-to-day lifestyle which I hope to create, too, and enough space to have family visit from out of state, with my husband being 1 of 7 kids, and my side having nieces and nephews I hope to fly out at least 2x a year. I made the guest suites like masters in the event my parents or my husbands dad moves in at retirement, so that they can feel at home. I have placed the kitchen, dining, and living room in a side-by-side flow, as I think it’s ideal for entertaining. Everyone can see everyone! I will have a courtyard centrally located, so that our cats can enjoy the outdoors without running wild and free into the mountains. I love large windows (as do they, I think?), so the home comes with a lot of windows for nature’s love to come in. I am a bit eclectic, too, so I did also want to add that eclectic style into this modern, Spanish home. And when I say modern, I mean clean lines, symmetry, geometry and a bit of minimalistic living. I love pops of color, but neutrals throughout.

Now, this home is massive, and that’s an understatement. I do not need all of this space, I do not need these big rooms, and I do not need so many rooftop patios. But, we will leave the dimensions and scaling to the one who actually graduated with a masters in architecture, when that time comes! I’ll stick to the manifesting, daydreaming, and inspired action until the day comes where my passion creates my visions.
