What we put out in our lives, we attract back to us.I believe this.I try to live this way. However it works, I believe that positive thoughts and feelings create a better life. The world can be both beautiful and harsh, and how we respond to these outside circumstances define our lives. It’s our choice.
Recently, I experienced a little bit of magic that reinforced this idea.I was at a New Mexico Writers dinner and there was a stunning hand painted platter as a giveaway in a raffle. I love pottery and have a small collection. But this was nothing like what I owned – it was big, from an exclusive and expensive shop, Rainbow Gate in Santa Fe. It was vibrant red with hummingbirds on it.I kept my eye on it all week before the dinner and imagined adding this platter to my collection.
When I arrived, I bought three raffle tickets. I joked with a man at the table and the woman selling the tickets saying I was going to win it. Later in the evening, as they pulled the winning ticket a strange feeling came over me. I turned to a friend next to me and blurted, “I’m going to win this.” I knew it. I could feel it. It wasn’t a guess, it was reality.
Sure enough, they called my number. I wondered if my friend thought the raffle was rigged since I had such conviction. But to me, it wasn’t a surprise. What surprised me was that I knew I would be the winner. This is called the Law of Attraction. I changed my energy, I had a strong desire, I focused on the positive and knew it would happen. I never wavered.
Sound unlikely? Maybe. But I choose to expect miracles. It makes life so much more fun!







What a beautiful platter. And good for you for manifesting it!
