Choosing your reality

Your reality is but one of infinite possibilities. That’s right, infinite.

There is a reality that exists right now where you are living your ‘dream’ life and another that is so much worse than the one you are currently acknowledging and everything in between.

I said acknowledging, yes. You align with what you focus on.

Think about your tv, there are always multiple channels available = multiple realities.

You select the show you want to watch and hit play = your focus.

So why do we get stuck watching a show we don’t want to see again? The program that plays on a loop.

Our subconscious wants to keep us safe, predictability is safe, surprise is risky. Ever feel procrastination when attempting something new? Going after a job that pays more than you ever made before? Asking someone out? Starting a new fitness routine?

So your subconscious runs this program of expectation. It’s not what you want but it’s predictable. Go to bed at this time. Wake up at this time. Start work at this time. Etc…

So how do you break out of this loop?

FIRST STEP: DETACHMENT. You have to detach yourself from the reality you are stuck in. When an unwanted experience shows up, move your attention along; keep shopping.

SECOND STEP: CONNECT. Meditate and connect to God, Source Energy, the Universe, whatever you call your higher power. Connection empowers with loving, creative energy. Empowerment helps you determine what experiences you want to have while here on Earth. You can do this in as little as 5 minutes! Envision your ideal reality.

THIRD STEP: ANCHOR. Once you have decided which reality you want to experience, hook into it by focusing on signs, clues, etc… Remember you align with what you focus on. Count your blessings, especially those that are part of this new reality.

Let’s use the Wizard of Oz as an example. If Dorothy is in Oz and acknowledges she’s in Oz she would be detached from the reality of home.

She decides she’s had enough of Oz and wants to return home, only not the same home as when she left. She envisions her ideal home.

By focusing on the aspects of home she anchors to it.

When I first started thinking about owning a house, I was nowhere near what would be considered close to being able to fulfill it. However, I started a brand new job in October 2022 and we were able to close on a home 9 months later!

I had to DETACH myself from the belief that I was only a renter, I then CONNECTED with source and my imagination – closing my eyes and envisioning sitting on my back deck of my ideal home drinking coffee and then ANCHOR myself into the reality by acknowledging the clues and signs that showed up like the candle holders I found in a store that I bought as a show of faith for our house and never put them up in our apartment or the image on my vision board that was almost exact match to the house we purchased.

IMPORTANT STUFF:

DETACHMENT means not investing yourself into the unwanted scenarios and experiences that will ANCHOR you into the unwanted reality. That means no falling down the rabbit hole on social media, tv, conversations with others, etc…

Imagine you are playing a game and in that game you are driving a car towards a goal. It moves where you direct it to, not necessarily where you want it to. READ THAT AGAIN. Your FOCUS determines where you are heading, not your wishing. If you start to go off course, it’s okay, just correct by refocusing on the goal.

The way you start your day plays a big part in how your day will end. I try to start every morning with a diet rich in positive content. That means I’m listening to morning meditation, motivational speakers like Wayne Dyer, Gabby Bernstein or Christie Marie Sheldon or music. I love playing upbeat house music during my shower. I’ll also go through my gratitude list. When you count your blessings, you receive more blessings.

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” – Wayne Dyer

As I’ve been on this shifting reality journey I’ve found I like to give myself some visual cues to help sell the new reality. I like to do this at night so I see them first thing in the morning.

I’ll rearrange furniture or decorations or add something, like a new shower curtain with bright butterflies. Seeing the change really ANCHORS in the new reality, slowly but surely.

I hope this helps you on your own journey. Let me know if all or any of this connected to you. Do you have questions? Do you have answers? I’d love to hear from you.

Love and Blessings

UNBALANCED

Ever ride in a car with someone who uses BOTH feet to push the pedals? I have and it can be rough. The right foot punches the gas and the left foot slams on the brake. You lose that transition time if you are only using the one right foot. It’s just GO and STOP!

My life has felt like that, lacking balance. I think it’s because I lack structure. There is an author I follow, Kelsey Humphries. She’s big on YouTube, look her up. You wanna talk about organized?! She’s a damn fine writer, too, I just finished her novel Happy Christmas and can’t wait to read more. Anyways, she teaches writers how to plan their writing and publishing and it triggered me so much! Why?

I think my fear of organizing the writing; creating a spreadsheet or outline or even a simplified word doc stems from fear. Fear that if I stop the momentum of constant writing, well whenever I cram it in around work and taking care of my mom and the house and… I think you get my point.

I don’t want to be unprepared, actually, quite the opposite. I desperately yearn to have my focus contained, each chapter mapped out, at the very least; a goal! That sounds like bliss to me. Knowing exactly who is doing what, when and how? Sign me up!

So, why can’t I do it? Why haven’t I implemented this glorious new call to action? I don’t know, but I aim to find out. When I do, I promise to share here, this place that I neglect so due to…you guessed it; no structured schedule!

Well, I just wanted to pop on and share some thoughts, random like I do. I do want to take this moment to wish you the very best holiday season – I wish you so many blessings you can’t count them all!

What’s up witches?

I know we’re a ways past Halloween but since I’m behind on everything; it feels appropriate.

AMUSE NEWS! The eBook version is NOW AVAILABLE on Kindle Unlimited! If you, like myself, have a subscription for KU then Amuse is included. I wanted to make it easier for not only new readers but readers who want to refresh their memory before moving on to Amuse 2 – in progress now! More Amuse news below.

Why am I behind? Besides working full time – 40 hours.

My mom came home from the hospital after months, starting in May with ER then ICU then Long Term Recovery then Skilled Nursing. It was tough when she first came home, really felt like I had 3 jobs, she wasn’t fully mobile, heck she wasn’t mobile, but she has been working really hard to become more independent. Which has freed up a little more time.

I’ve developed a creative writing schedule, it’s called ‘Do you have five minutes?” I write before work, on breaks, after work, in my sleep-if only, right! I did switch from the screenplay back to Amuse 2. I missed Calli and I had the bulk of the story completed, in fact, it had a beginning, middle and end…BUT then I went in and changed everything around. See, when I’m not writing I’m listening or watching videos about how to be a better writer.

You wouldn’t guess it by this post would ya?

In other news! The short delay for the launch of the revised Audible version of Amuse – my narrator got married so we needed to update her name – has become a long delay! Originally, the planned launch date was 10-31-25 (Hey the title makes more sense now!) So now it’s been 14 days. It’s been emails and me going into the details in ACX and updating then confirming then more emails because the revised version isn’t showing on the Audible site. Last email I received, yesterday, stated that all was well and they provided the link for the audiobook-the same link I’ve been going into daily and testing.

Yes the info is showing the correct narrator name, however, the original cover art is showing and when I play, it’s the original. Now when I go into ACX, the details are incorrect BUT the cover and the audiobook is correct. *heavy sigh* Hopefully, this will be sorted out soon. I’ll let everyone know.

Until next time, Love and Blessings! – Karma Marie

Amuse audible coming soon!

The Audible version of Amuse will be here in 9 days! I can’t wait for everyone to hear the narration by Elizabeth Riedel – The revised book needed a revised audio and she brought it again! If you like your portal fantasy with a little romance and a twist of mythology then this might be your cup of tea…or shot of whiskey…or ambrosia 😉

What’s up?

I’m back! What? Did you think that would take longer? I can leave and come in again…but I’m already here and it takes So. Much. Effort. Okay, you talked me into it, I’ll stay.

Some updates: I wrote a heartfelt letter to Kevin Smith, then rewrote and rewrote to the point I think it’s about as good as it’s going to get…to rewrite just one more time. You know what they say, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. I need it to be at worse, acceptable and at best, Oscar worthy 😀

The reason for the letter: My son convinced me to send him an Edgar & Kevin & Richard & Wes shirt, I showed that off in a previous post.

The second hardest part, after completing the accompanying letter, is finding the right address to send it to. On Google it mentions mostly their View Askew office and SmodCastle BUT then hallelujah, I found an email address: assistant@smodcast.com so I can get the appropriate address rather than just sending stuff in the mail to never be seen again. I’ll keep you updated!

Speaking of shirts, I created a new design, this time to show off my love for Edgar Wright–er, Edgar Wright’s creations.

The front reads: “Looking for Mr. Wright” with a lipstick mark.

The back reads: “He’s a SPACED out RUNNING MAN, BABY DRIVER with HOT FUZZ, (drinking pints) with SCOTT PILGRIM and SHAUN OF THE DEAD RIGHT next to the ASYLUM, LAST NIGHT IN SOHO and he holds my heart in his FISTFUL OF FINGERS

***SPECIAL NOTE – these shirts aren’t available in the store…yet, we’ll see!

Let me know what you’ve been up to, what you think about the new design, what you think about Kevin Smith, what you think my chances are I’ll get a response to my email…whatever you like to say, here is your chance – comment below…or above, I’m not sure where it’s located tbh.

Whatever you do, have an awesome day!
