I believe that I’m writing my way to an amazing transformation. I feel so different than I did when I started this blog on January 1. More and more, I am finding the place of feeling like I’m already living my desires. My “what is” results, though, haven’t been as impressive as I might like.
I’ll write more about that tomorrow, but today, I’m going to tell you the story of someone who is enjoying impressive results. I’m going to tell you the story of a man, who in the short 6 weeks I’ve corresponded with him, has gone from a man struggling with money to an almost literal money magnet.
All Is Lost
Greg Trear contacted me through this blog on March 15. After I replied to him, he told me he’d lost his job as a salesman and now was working in his own business selling plastics. He went from over $300,000 a year to about $60,000 a year. He’d lost his confidence, and he was in danger of losing his home.
Greg knew what we all know—that we live in a universe of abundance, still, he said, “… it just seems that it doesn’t matter how hard you work, there is only a certain amount of people qualified to buy plastics.” I could relate to his feelings. I work in a field of extraordinary competition. I know that feeling of futility.”
In an e-mail he sent to me on March 19th, Greg spoke of his old life—a life filled with great vacations to Kauai and Italy. He said it was a life of “not worrying about money and just thinking I had the world by the tail. My confidence was always so high and I was a provider and a go-getter, and if there was no path, I made one.”
I told him in my response that I heard so much longing in his words. I could relate to the longing. I felt it too. But longing is a focus on the lack of something. Though you’re thinking about something you want, you’re thinking about it from an awareness that you don’t have it, so you’re activating a vibration that is drawing to you the opposite of what you want. Greg agreed.
A Glimmer In The Darkness
We talked about joy in our next e-mail exchange. He said he wanted to have a vision of great joy in front of him. I said I’ve wanted that too but had decided, “Maybe I don’t have to find the big Joy thing to put in front of me, but perhaps it IS enough to find a way to feel good in the minutia of the day.” This made sense to Greg. He said, “I just need to be in the moment all through the day and to just thrive and take each moment as it comes and be happy about it and love it.” Then he asked, “Is it that easy? Maybe that is why it’s so hard to figure out. It’s hidden in plain sight.”
The next day, on March 23rd, Greg e-mailed me: “I’ve turned a corner; the fog has lifted.”
A few days later, in response to my post, Your Tale Affects Your Tail, and his decision to change his story from “It’s not fair” to “Greg is favored,” he wrote to me, “I have just decided that I am blessed and favored and thriving and deep down that is the way it is and if that never manifests, then cool, I am believing it and doing what is before me. God has to do the rest. I am going to believe it not because I want it to manifest but because of the enjoyment of believing and BEING it.”
Less than a week later, Greg e-mailed me, with great exultation, the news that he had gotten an unexpected $3600 tax refund from the IRS, a check for $239 from the veterinary school his daughter attends (he had no idea why), and a $880 check from the state. A few days after that, he discovered he was going to receive still another IRS check because of mistakes in his return.
A couple days after that, Greg wrote to tell me he’d gone through his old commission reports and looked at the huge amounts of money he’d been making just a few years ago. In a bad month, he said, he brought in $17,000. He said he started to ask, “Where did all the money go?” but he caught himself and shifted his focus. He reminded himself that he was blessed to have these reports. He said, “I can go back and look and say, you know what, with my own company now, I have the chance to even make more. Then become now that person.”
Eureka!
After that, the floodgates opened. Money has been pouring into Greg’s life:
- A $200 check from the state controller
- A $13,000 check from a relative
- A $1828 commission check
- A $4200 commission check
- A $2600 commission check
Monday, he wrote to me: “I walked out of a supermarket today and a dollar bill was skipping across the ground towards me and stopped as it settled on my shin–no one around.”
Greg says he used to “study, study, study the law of attraction and talk about it to others and read about it and think about it but never DID IT. Maybe once in a while for a few minutes but that was in order to get something, and it didn’t work. Now I make sure that I’m doing it for just the joy of already having now what I want.” Greg says some of the insights I’ve written about in this blog have been guideposts for his amazing journey. He especially has taken to heart my conclusion that in order to get anything you must already have it (vibrationally).
He visualizes on a daily basis. He spends at least 12 minutes a day visualizing for three minutes each about his marriage, his kids, his business, and his future.” He says, “I think thoughts and purposely feel feelings that I would feel now if I had then. I make sure that it feels good and I just roll around in it.”
Greg sums up his incredible journey this way: “Until a month ago I was so worried about losing my home, and the more worried, the closer I got to actually losing it. One day I said, ‘God if you want to take the house that’s okay; I give it back to you. I know you work all things for the good.’” Ever since that day money is flowing in like a river.”
Greg’s Map
Greg’s process reveals the roadmap for getting from lack to abundance. Here’s the route he’s laid out for us:
- Get easy about what’s going on in your life. Let go of things you think you have to have or the need for things to be a certain way.
- Find and focus on the joys in your moment-to-moment life.
- Find a way to activate the feeling of having what you want—whether it’s by revisiting a time when you had it (looking at old papers or photographs) or by thinking about what you want as if you already have it (the only effective kind of visualization).
- Exult in every little movement toward what you want. Savor all forward motion.
I don’t know about you, but I’m inspired to go on this trip. Thanks, Greg!

Monday, the rain came back. Hurray!
In 1996, when I moved to the beach, I bought a book, Drawing For Dummies, because I thought that now that I was going to be a free-spirited divorcee, I would try my hand at art. But I was so busy walking on the beach and writing that the book sat on the shelf. Until 2008.
So there’s this Vortex, to use Abraham-Hicks terminology. It’s an extraordinary font of energy—organized, creational energy that holds everything asked for by everyone.
I’ve been trying to find my way through the nonphysical aspects of life for over 40 years, maybe for even longer. My father used to tell me that when I was two years old, I would stare off into space with such a pensive expression that he was sure I was contemplating the meaning of life.
Lately, I’ve had to turn this into a mantra: “The feeling, the feeling, the feeling. Focus on the feeling.”
