Vera posted a great piece on manifestation today.

Manifestation just makes sense to me. Any technique that crosses spiritual practices gets extra validity with me (and what else is prayer but manifestation?) and it also makes sense on a rational level (the first step of any project is outlining what you want out of it). Vera’s write-up is a nice lay-person’s introduction to the slightly woo-woo practice of manifsting what you want. I hate “newage” (rhymes with “sewage”) stuff, but manifestation has almost always worked for me.
