Looking back on the past five years, it's clear to me now that every challenge and setback I faced was leading me to this very moment. In 2022, I successfully manifested everything I desired.

Pandemic 🚫 - We are 💪🏾stronger than ever
My days as an investment consultant were filled with long hours and seemingly boundless travels, taking me across the vast expanse of Texas and through the backwoods of Kentucky.
While my heart (and my luggage) resided in the Philadelphia area, where Hirtle Callaghan's headquarter offices are located,
Although my affection for the firm and my work was unwavering, a deep ache stirred within me for a change that would bring me closer to home and allow me to build a life with my young family and beloved wife. So, in 2019, I took a leap of faith and left my prestigious investment job to start my own company.
Little did I know that unforeseen challenges awaited me, including the global pandemic that loomed on the horizon. Our girls were still young at the time, aged four and two, and we experienced a significant loss in income—roughly 60%.
It felt like our new business was at stake.
However, I firmly believed that someday our investments would pay off. Even in the face of adversity, we were determined to keep our business afloat, resorting to extraordinary measures. Then, in July 2021, we received the news that we were expecting twins—a blessing that could have been perceived as the worst-case scenario for a fledgling business.
But amidst it all, I realized that my deepest desires were actually materializing. Through my unwavering intentions, I was manifesting the life I had always yearned for.
To me, manifestation is an act of honesty, love, and transparency that ultimately brings our true selves into fruition. It's what 2022 brought to the Bird Family. My wife, Cat (@mrscatbird_), and I emerged from these trials stronger than ever. I am deeply in love with her, and she deserves all the joy and abundance that we have experienced and will continue to embrace. As a mother, she is adored by our children, who hold her dear to their hearts.
Being a parent to four beautiful souls is an incredible journey, and having Cat by my side to share these moments makes it even more fulfilling. Through this experience, I have come to realize that the manifestation process requires us to let go of our former selves and become crystal clear about our goals and desires. It demands unwavering dedication and the utmost determination to bring the visions in our minds to life.
Manifestation is not merely wishful thinking; it is about actively demonstrating the qualities and feelings we seek to embody. It calls us to "act as if" we have already achieved our goals.
So, as we step into 2023, let us continue to embrace the power of manifestation. Let us cultivate an abundance mindset, set clear goals, and bring our intentions to life. Together, we can manifest a future filled with success, joy, and fulfillment.
