bucket list magic: a day with abraham hicks

There are moments that sit on your heart for years, waiting for the right time to become real. And this week, one of those moments finally came to life.

My friend and I checked something off our bucket list that we’ve been talking about for over three years—we attended an Abraham Hicks workshop in Philadelphia!

If you’ve never heard of Abraham Hicks, she’s known as the queen of Law of Attraction. Her teachings are all about tuning into your thoughts, energy, and inner knowing to create a life that feels aligned and joyful. My first coach introduced me to her years ago, at a time when I desperately needed a mindset shift. Ever since, her voice and guidance have been a powerful presence in my life.

So to finally be in the room with her energy—live—was something special.

We had no idea what to expect, but we showed up open-hearted and ready for whatever the day had in store. From the moment we walked in, we felt it. The energy. The buzz. The lightness in the room. We kept catching ourselves smiling, like our faces forgot how to do anything else.

We were proud of ourselves for making it happen, but more than that, we were soaking in an experience that felt like soul food. We left feeling giddy. There’s no better word for it. It was that feeling of knowing—really knowing—that everything is going to work out.

Because the truth is, worrying and controlling isn’t the name of the game.

What is the game? Attention. Focus. Alignment.

What we focus on grows. When we focus on what’s not working, we tend to see more of it. But when we shift and give our energy to what is working—no matter how small—we begin to see more of the good.

But maybe the biggest takeaway of the day was this:
We all have an inner guidance system.

When we feel off, out of sync, heavy—it’s not because life is broken. It’s because we’re out of alignment with that inner knowing. That quiet wisdom that always, always points us toward love, joy, and expansion.

So the name of the game is learning to tune in. To pause and ask: Does this feel good?
Not in a fleeting, surface-level way—but in a deep, connected way that resonates with your soul.

This workshop reminded me that life doesn’t have to be hard to be meaningful. It can be full of ease, joy, and flow when we allow ourselves to align with who we really are and what we truly want.

And now? I'm crossing this experience off the bucket list—but keeping the giddy glow forever.
