The Secret Is Wags

I’m still noticing evidence of the law of attraction at work in my life. Here are three more little things that have fallen into place.

A Lawn Mower (3/13/10)

Last fall, our lawnmower died a sad and final death. Since it was the last mow of the season, we didn’t do anything about it. Tim assured me that we’d win the lottery and move to Oregon before we needed a mower.

Well, the grass is growing, and we’re still here. So I said, we need a lawnmower. We don’t have the funds to buy a new one. I wondered, could we find an inexpensive used one?

Friday, Tim checked a local classified site. Sunday, he drove about 45 hours to check out an electric mower offered for sale and listed for $75, more than we wanted to spend. The mower was in great shape. Tim offered $45. The man said that was his bottom-line, so that was fine.

So in a matter of a few days, I attracted a mower that we could afford.

Tinkerbell (3/14/10)

Tinkerbell is a 120 pound Newfoundland dog (isn’t that a great name for such a big dog??). Her dad, Glen, walks her in the same forest where we walk Ducky. We haven’t seen Glen and Tinkerbell in over two months.

Since Ducky and Tinkerbell really like each other, we’ve missed seeing them. Yesterday, Tim said to Ducky, “Maybe we’ll see Tinkerbell tomorrow.”

Today, Tim and Ducky ran into Glen and Tinkerbell in the woods and Ducky got to play with her friend.

E-mail From A Friend (3/14/10)

I have a friend whose sister is in the hospital with a serious condition. My friend has been spending most of her days in the hospital, and she’s worn out from taking care of her sister and mom and her dog. My friend and I usually exchange several e-mails a week, and I haven’t heard from her in several days.

About a half hour ago, I decided to e-mail my friend to check on her. Before I could start the e-mail, an e-mail from my friend showed up in my inbox.

It’s so much fun to watch how the universe lines up what we need and want. The more I watch this in action, the more I expect things to fall into place.

What’s falling into place for you? Are you seeing the law of attraction in action?

Calvin Coolidge said, “If you see ten troubles coming down the road, you can be sure that nine will run into the ditch before they reach you.”

For the last several months, I’ve been staring down the road at a whole passel of financial troubles. These troubles are HUGE and UGLY and TERRIFYING and they have nasty names like Run Out Of Money and Lose My House and Get A Job I Hate.

These troubles put off a stink that makes me feel nauseated. They suck oxygen from the air so it’s hard for me to breathe. They make such a racket, a cacophony of blackboard scratching type sounds in my head, that I find it hard to focus on anything else.

But these troubles are DOWN THE ROAD. They’re not here, not right in front of me.

But I’ve been calling them to me. I’ve been whistling at them with my thoughts. Every time I focus on them, I’m tossing a rope down the road, lassoing those nasty troubles and yanking them toward me.

Why would I want to do that?

I don’t. So I’m stopping.

In the last couple days of finding things that are good in my now, I’ve noticed that where I’m standing on the road TODAY is pretty nice. This spot in the road has lovely trees that sway in the breeze. It’s touched by gentle sunshine and sprinkled with fresh rain. It’s a spot where my dog, Ducky, can play with her toys, and my husband can tell me he loves me. It’s a place where I can have a glass of red wine by the fire, a place where I can laugh, and I place where I can be intrigued and inspired.

I’ve noticed that when I look at where I am today, I don’t notice the troubles. No nasty smell. No oxygen depletion. No sound in my head.

It’s peaceful here in the now of today.

THIS is where I am. All is well.
