So, what if the key to manifesting your next big life change is hidden in my Halloween party story? 2.5 years ago, before I even moved to Seattle, I predicted the night in the photo below. I’m sharing the full story with you because my process is your blueprint.

This past Saturday I was at the annual Gothic Ball at the historic Rainier Club, surrounded by friends, watching a swirl of velvet and lace, and sipping a cocktail served next to a human-sized fireplace. It was such a fun, elevated Halloween experience, and it felt like a dream come true.

The Rewind: A Doorway to 6 Months

Let’s go back to April 2023. I was about to move to a new city and state (Bay Area, California →→→→ Seattle area, Washington), so I did a guided visualization meditation and focused on what I wanted my future to be like.

I was prompted to step through the doorway marked “6 months into the future,” and I saw my husband and me at a sophisticated Halloween party with elaborate costumes, passed hors d’oeuvres, and fancy drinks. It was a vision of finding community and celebration in my new environment.

Jump to October 2024—we had just joined a private social club, and during our tour, we discovered they were hosting a Gothic Ball.

When I stepped into the grand room last year with the high ceilings, the spooky-but-elegant décor, the formal wear, and the fancy hors d’oeuvres and crafted cocktails—this was the elevated, adult Halloween party that I had visualized 18 months prior. The intention I had set had materialized into crystal-clear reality.

Fast forward to this year, at the Gothic Ball again, and the experience was even better. The setting was still the stunning version of my visualization, but the deeper fulfillment was that we had friends to share this night with. Last year we knew almost no one, and this time we were exchanging stories and toasting to dreams. We’re building our community and with that, a sense of belonging.

If you’re looking for a more immersive experience…

I’m considering hosting a live, upscale Vision Board Workshop in January at The Rainier Club.

If that sounds like something you’d love to attend, hit reply and let me know. I’ll only move forward if there’s enough interest.

(And of course, if you’d rather start now, my Ultimate Vision Board Workshop is ready whenever you are. Learn the tools to turn your wishes into tangible plans and start moving toward your Gothic Ball moment.)

I know this process works, because I live it. That fabulous night happened by design. Now, it’s your turn to pick up the tools and design your own next 6-month time jump.

Cheering for you,
