Manifesting with... a bedroom wall & a painting led to a love story 🖼️

I want to share a story with you about the power of energetic alignment – and how one simple act of awareness changed everything.

Picture this: I'm sitting in my bedroom, fresh from teaching a class about how our external reality mirrors our internal state. My eyes landed on a painting I'd created – a woman, multilayered, with a mysterious depth behind her. She'd been there for several years, watching over my sacred single mom journey, my pilgrimages to ancient sites, the magical ceremonies with my soul sisters, the adventures with my kids.

But in that moment, something shifted.

It wasn't a dramatic revelation. Just a quiet knowing that whispered:

"This chapter is complete."

Looking at that painting, I realized it was the perfect representation of who I'd been – the independent priestess, the spiritual seeker, the sacred feminine embodied. But it was no longer aligned with who I was becoming – a woman ready to meet her king.

So I did what any Modern Mystic would do: I took action from that aligned awareness. Down came the painting, and off I went to my favorite local art store, where I found a sketch (see photo below) that perfectly captured the energy I was calling in – the divine masculine presence I was ready to welcome into my life.

Here's the wild part: I met Steve before that new piece was even framed and hung.

Because that's how manifestation really works. It's not about vision boards or affirmations (though those can be beautiful tools). It's about:

  • Recognizing when we've energetically completed a chapter
  • Having the courage to make space for what's next
  • Taking aligned action from that place of knowing
  • Trusting the natural unfolding that follows

This is exactly what we explore in the Modern Mystic Mystery School – how to read the subtle signs, trust our knowing, and take inspired action that magnetically draws in our desires.

Ready to step into your next chapter?

Sometimes the biggest manifestations come from the smallest acts of energetic alignment. What in your space is ready to be lovingly released?

Beaming you love & magic, K 💋

The Painting

"Remember: your space speaks your story – when you honor the completion of one chapter and consciously create space for the next, you energetically signal to the universe that you're ready to receive what you've been calling in."

I've been building something... For months now, quietly, behind the scenes. Testing it. Refining it. Making sure it feels exactly right. And on Thursday night - December 18th - I'm inviting you to experience it with me. One last preview circle before our official launch in January. Let me tell you why I'm doing this. Eight years ago, I was sitting in a women's circle for the first time. I didn't come as a leader. I came broken. From the outside, I had it all. Twenty years climbing the...

"There is no right and wrong" (the lesson that broke my brain) When I hit VP level at my Fortune 100 company, I was gifted an executive coach from outside the company. Her name was Amy. Amy was... not what I expected. Hard. Rough around the edges. No-nonsense in a way that made me squirm a little. We were complete opposites - me still in my trying to please everyone era, her cutting straight through the BS. But Amy taught me a lot & said one sentence to me that literally rewired my brain....
