As I continued to read, I realized that with an open heart, miracles can occur to you and through<br />

you. Miracles arrived in our lives through strangers, friends, bizarre series <strong>of</strong> events all<br />

coalescing into Serenity's creation. How could I ever forget <strong>the</strong> elation <strong>of</strong> knowing without a<br />

doubt we were creating with divine inspiration? But, I had. Daily life with its draining demands<br />

had depleted my sense <strong>of</strong> wonder. I missed my bliss and as I read on I began to remember and<br />

feel <strong>the</strong> joy <strong>of</strong> knowing we had manifested Serenity by <strong>the</strong> Sea using The Law <strong>of</strong> Attraction. I<br />

could manifest joy in my life, all I had to do was focus on <strong>the</strong> joy for a single moment. Flooding<br />

my senses was a joy so overwhelming my Soul whispered, "What took you so long to remember,<br />

why would you ever choose anything but to live in joy and wonder at <strong>the</strong> miracle <strong>of</strong> Life?"<br />

More than ever, I know it is important for me to keep a gratitude journal, so I can remember <strong>the</strong><br />

miracles that have happened in my very own life. I am inspired by o<strong>the</strong>rs' stories, but reading my<br />

stories written in my own hand was especially powerful. These things had happened in my life! I<br />

didn't have to wonder and hope I could have <strong>the</strong>se experiences --- <strong>the</strong>y permeated my life. I had<br />

let <strong>the</strong> bliss slip away. This was just <strong>the</strong> boost I needed to focus on <strong>the</strong> next project, a design and<br />

development company.<br />

Impacting me most was <strong>the</strong> realization that each and every day we can each be a part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

tapestry <strong>of</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r's life. If we all understood that our tapestry was just a square in One Quilt, we,<br />

as a species would understand that what affects one <strong>of</strong> us actually affects all <strong>of</strong> us. Joy and<br />

peace are infectious! Our individual squares are sewn toge<strong>the</strong>r with a single thread that unites us<br />

as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Whole.<br />

Through my tears and laughter, I was reinvigorated. Belief in <strong>the</strong> doors opening exactly as <strong>the</strong>y<br />

are needed flooded my very being. The Law <strong>of</strong> Attraction is always at work – just as gravity is a<br />

constant on our planet. The Law <strong>of</strong> Attraction operates by bringing to our lives whatever we focus<br />

on. Like attracts like, period. I only have to visualize <strong>the</strong> end result and <strong>the</strong> Law <strong>of</strong> Attraction is<br />

bound to bring all that is needed to accomplish your goal. I don't have to know <strong>the</strong> "how" <strong>of</strong> it all.<br />

What a relief! I don't have to figure out <strong>the</strong> details; I only have to be clear about what I want.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> perspective <strong>of</strong> five years, I can see how this was so very true in my life and <strong>the</strong> process<br />

<strong>of</strong> bringing Serenity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sea into this world. Never would I have been able to figure out all <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> miracles that occurred. Never would I have been able to choreograph such an intricate dance<br />

so beautifully. The dream had manifested and I am sitting in <strong>the</strong> midst <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> miracle, relaxing in<br />

front <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> fireplace as I record <strong>the</strong>se words <strong>of</strong> gratitude. I feel so alive, I am vibrating with <strong>the</strong><br />

energy <strong>of</strong> my very being. Science tells us everything is mostly space, nothing is truly solid. The<br />

chair you sit on is mostly space, it is <strong>the</strong> illusion that makes you believe it is solid. We, too, are<br />

mostly space – just energy vibrating with potential. And today is a day I can see <strong>the</strong> energy<br />

vibrating between <strong>the</strong> spaces. I am part <strong>of</strong> this huge energy field, plugged in, and ready to<br />

weave my thread through <strong>the</strong> Quilt <strong>of</strong> Life.<br />

This summer, several events began to unfold in succession so rapidly, I knew we were once<br />

again in <strong>the</strong> midst <strong>of</strong> a miracle occurring. A pr<strong>of</strong>essor contacted us because one <strong>of</strong> his graduate<br />

students was using <strong>the</strong> <strong>Dome</strong> <strong>of</strong> a <strong>Home</strong> in his <strong>the</strong>sis. This allowed Mark to discuss several<br />

<strong>the</strong>ories with <strong>the</strong> Pr<strong>of</strong>essor <strong>of</strong> Civil and Structural Engineering.<br />

Then, we were contacted by a production company developing a new series, EXTREME<br />

BUILDINGS for HGTV. Were we interested? Of course!<br />

As Mark discussed our dome with Jessica at KPI-TV, he shared his vision <strong>of</strong> a project located in<br />

Montana.<br />
