Time to Reflect

Can you believe this year is almost over?  It's amazing how fast the days, weeks, and months go by.

During the last few days of the year, I like to take time to pause and look back over my year.

How did it go? 

I go over each area of my life and take stock of how my year went. My career/business, family and relationships, health and body, personal achievements, joy and happiness levels, and money and finances.

I acknowledge what I did and did not do.

As I look back over the year, it allows me to appreciate and celebrate the good things that have happened, and to reflect and learn from the things that may have not been so good, so I can get clear on what I want to deliberately create in my life in the new year.

Until next time, which is next year,

 
Love and Luck to you.

White Christmas and a Lucky Life

While watching one of my favorite holiday movies, White Christmas, a couple weeks ago, I realized just how many law of attraction secrets, and secrets for a lucky life were in it, so I thought I would share them with you.

The film starts off with Phil (Danny Kaye), and Bob (Bing Crosby), practicing one of the biggest law of attraction secrets there is, finding a way to feel good now by singing, dancing, and entertaining their fellow army soldiers right in the middle of a war.

 

Phil, asking for what he wants when he asks Bob to perform the song he's written in his act, and to let him be the other half of the duo. 

 

Phil, knowing what he wants when he is asking Bob to get married, have 9 kids, and spend 5 minutes with each one so he could have 45 minutes all to himself.

 

Bob, having the belief, faith, and the expectation, that the right girl will come along someday.

Judy (Vera Ellen), also knows what she wants and asks for it when she writes Bob asking him to come see the show.  

Bob's advice to Judy about the show is to "keep plugging away at it", in other words, stay committed and do all you can do.

 

Bob takes inspired action, and gives freely with no strings attached, when he brings his whole act to the inn, and then again when he invites his fellow army buddies to come and spend Christmas at the inn to surprise and support their former General.

 

Bob practicing gratitude when he tells Betty (Rosemary Clooney), to "count your blessings instead of sheep".

In my opinion, the whole movie is about feeling good now. Singing, dancing, and taking inspired action, and if you've seen the movie you know they get exactly what they desire.

 

Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday, and a lucky life.

 

Until next time.
 

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

My Christmas Miracle

Christmas 2007

This is the story of my Christmas miracle. It happened quite a few years ago and I thought I would share it with you.

The first Christmas in our new home, my daughter and I went out and purchased a "real" Christmas tree. 

As we were putting it into the stand, it fell over and stabbed me in the eye.  My eye immediately began to water and spasm in pain and I couldn't see properly.

It throbbed all day and night. By Sunday morning my eye was swollen, wouldn’t open properly, I couldn’t see properly, and was so painful. 

I felt miserable and afraid that it would never stop hurting, never heal, and that my vision was permanently damaged. I did not have any insurance, nor did I have the money to go to the ER. I was feeling very discouraged.

As I was showering, I became aware of what I was thinking and how much fear I was feeling.  Right then and there, I examined each fearful thought and as I did, I let go of each fear and replaced it with a positive affirmation. Instead of thinking, "What if my eye doesn't heal?" I would think "My eye is healing right now", and I gave thanks that my eye was healing.  This change in my thoughts made me feel better and throughout the day I kept saying "my eye is healing, I can see clearly, thank you for healing".

My Sweetie came over to check on me and asked if I would like some energy on my eye.  Sort of like Reiki. I said, "yes", and he put his hand over my eye.

The energy was so powerful, my eyeball began to throb painfully but immediately began to feel better.

 

When I woke up on Monday morning, my eye was totally healed.  All that was left was some swelling of the eyelid and I could see clearly. I felt so much gratitude and joy, and I still do.

I learned to let go of fear and trust that my eye could heal and believe it was healing. To believe, have faith and trust, that all would be well even when it didn't look or feel like it.

 

To turn my thoughts from what I didn't want, to what I did want.

I feel very blessed, and lucky. 

Until next time.
Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Increase Your Luck by Letting Go

As deliberate creators we know how powerful it is to get really clear on what it is we desire. 

Whether its a new job, more cash, having the bills paid in full, a loving relationship, more appreciation and support, a new home, better body, weight loss, no matter what it is, getting clear on what you want is an important step.  Knowing exactly how you desire it to look and feel.

You can also set your intention for that very experience and start imagining and visualizing your desired results.  The congratulations, the pat on the back, the handshakes, going to sleep in your new home, holding hands with your lover, stepping on the scales and seeing the number that feels good.

By all means practice feeling the relief, excitement, love, prosperity, confidence, or however you believe having your desire will make you feel.  Feel it real.

Keep taking inspired action, doing what feels good to do now, even if it seems totally unrelated to your desired outcome.

Then, LET GO.  Totally let go of the outcome, the way you think it should look. 

LET GO of how you think it should manifest or show up.

LET GO of the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and the HOW.

Sometimes we can get so attached to the outcome, the way we want or need it to be, that we block the Universe from delivering it.

LET GO of striving, pushing, pulling, and trying to arrange it yourself. That is not your job.

LET GO of taking stock, keeping score, checking your progress, and watching the pot to see if it's boiling yet.

The Universe may have a totally amazing, miraculous, "lucky" experience lined up for you. Don't get caught being too attached to your way, and too busy trying to make it happen yourself.

LET GO and enjoy the now. Stay in the moment feeling as good as possible now. Enjoy the ride! Enjoy each day!

Until next time.  Increase your luck by LETTING GO.
Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Increase Your Luck by Finding the Good

If you are looking to increase your luck in money, health, relationships, or your overall feelings of happiness, here's a secret that works.

Look for the good.

We find what we are looking for and a sure fire way to increase your "luck" is to make a habit of finding the good in everything.

In every situation, every experience, there is something that is good, something that is valuable, or something that could be beneficial.

As children, a lot of us were taught to notice everything that was wrong and we learned to view the world through that perspective.

So whatever we are experiencing, we automatically notice what's wrong, we focus on what's wrong, we comment and complain about what's wrong, and focusing on what is wrong, the negative, our "bad luck", will only make us feel bad and just continue to create more of that.

Is that what you want? Not me! I prefer feeling good, feeling lucky.

Here's the good news. You can change it. Yes, you can. You can train yourself to find the good in everything. 

And when we find the good, it shifts us out of the resistance to what is, into a better feeling place. A place of gratitude, hope, happiness and feeling blessed, which I call feeling lucky.

I believe something good can come from every experience and every situation, but you have to look for it and you have to be open to finding it.

Take relationships, if you are constantly noticing what's wrong with your partner, it won't be long before you don't have a partner. Not lucky.

Look for the good.  Make a list of the good qualities, the things you are thankful for, what's going right. Before long, you'll notice even more.

Having a health issue?  Focus your thoughts on how wonderful it is that your body knows how to heal itself. How many times day in and day out, it has healed. Praise what's good about your body and health. Is your heart beating? Your lungs breathing? Can you see? Hear? Walk? Talk? There is always something good to focus on.  Find the good.

Are you worried about having enough money?  Paying the bills? Think about all the money you've received so far this year? How many bills you have been able to pay, how many things you have been able to buy, how much you have been able to give, or share. Find the good.

Find the good in everything.  Is it raining? Be thankful, it could be sleet, ice, or snow. 

When something seems to be really going "wrong", stop and ask yourself, "what good can possibly come from this? What good do I want to come from this?"

You can choose what you would like to see happen, and it can.

A few months back, the credit card terminal at my shop got fried.  It was a stressful situation.  The processing company I was with refused to reprogram my terminal and wanted $1300. for a new one. 

I run a retail shop and being able to accept debit and credit cards is pretty crucial to the cash flow.  I'll admit my first response was panic and fear but then I remembered to ask, what good can come from this? What would I like to see happen?

I scripted what I wanted right then and there.  I wanted a new terminal that was free.  I wanted a processing company with great customer service, my deposits the next business day, lower processing fees. 

It took ten days, but I got exactly what I wanted and it's so much better than it was before my terminal got fried.

Look for the good, you'll find it, and before you know it, your friends will be asking, "what's your secret, how come you are always so lucky?"

Until next time.  Increase your luck by looking for the good.

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Does anyone remember Amway?

A few weeks ago, I was thinking about reordering some of my vitamins and all of a sudden I thought of, or tried to think of, that company that was all the rage back in the 80's, and when I say "the rage" I mean, it seemed like everyone was talking about their products and/or was an authorized distributor.  

Back to my story, when I thought of them, I just couldn't recall the name of the company, no matter how hard I tried.  I even asked a few people and got a few strange looks.  No one could tell me their name. Periodically, throughout the day, I kept trying to remember it. Who knows why, have you ever done that?

As I have mentioned before, my Sweetie and I enjoy watching older movies, and we were currently trying to watch the various movies starring Bill Murray. We had ordered a copy of one called, Quick Change, and the mailman delivered the DVD I had ordered, that same day.
 
I sent Sweetie a message and told him our movie had arrived and we made plans to watch it that evening. 

Sweetie sent me another message telling me that the bank, just two blocks from my shop, was currently being held up. The whole block was surrounded and barricaded.  It was biggest excitement in town in years!

So that evening, after dinner, we start watching our movie, Quick Change, which is about three people robbing a bank! (Bill Murray's character being one of them).  How's that for synchronicity?

Then, the character played by Geena Davis, suddenly mentions Amway. 

I got so excited.  The very information I was trying to remember, all day long, and there it was, in the movie.  I asked Sweetie, does Amway even exist anymore?  Are there still Amway distributors?  I hadn't heard anything of them since I was a teenager. Of course I didn't really need the answer, I was just curious. 

Three days later as I am on my way to my shop, a car pulls up beside me at a light.  I look over, and low and behold, there on the side of the car is one of those magnetic signs advertising Amway! 

Once again, it just goes to show, that whenever we give pure thought to something, anything, whether wanted or not wanted, important or trivial, the Universe begins manifesting it in our reality.

What a wonderful power we have to manifest our desires. I love it!

Until next time.

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Increase Your Luck, Do Something Different!

Increase your "Luck" by doing something different.

That's right, break up your routine, shake things up a bit, do it differently, or do something different.

Sometimes we get into such a rut, and I am just as guilty of this too, but we continue to do the same things, in the same way.

We do this for many reasons, such as: 

• this is way we learned to do it
• everyone does it this way
• it's comfortable
• it's the quickest or easiest
• it's a tradition
• we are too old to change now
• it's economical or less expensive
• lack of energy or motivation

No matter what our reason may be, we can find ourselves stuck in a rut.

A great way to increase your "luck" and open yourself up to new possibilities and opportunities is, to do something different, or, to do whatever it is your doing, differently.

This can be as simple as brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand which is said to increase willpower.  Who would have guessed?

Some other ways to shake things up and improve your luck are:

• driving to work a different route
• going to a restaurant your normally wouldn't
• joining a study group or book club 
• offer someone a lift
• take a class and learning something new
• rearranging the furniture
• change your story
• start a conversation with a stranger
• become a volunteer
• start a blog
• go bowling. roller skating, or Bingo

The world is filled with millions of opportunities and adventures. Try one!

Doing things differently and learning new things introduces us to new people, opportunities, and experiences that may never come our way if we continue doing the same old thing.

Increase your luck, do something different!

Until next time.

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Following My Bliss

I believe it was Joseph Campbell who said, "Follow your bliss".  

As a Law of Attraction coach, I call it finding a way to feel good now.

Well today's post is about how I followed my bliss and practiced feeling good now. 
  
I usually like to write my blog posts on Sunday as soon as possible.

My shop is closed on Sundays and that's the day I do all the things I need to do around the house, but first I like to get my weekly blog post written.

One Sunday a few weeks back, as I was out for my morning run, I realized it was going to be a beautiful day.  

I thought about how much fun it would be to just call up my Sweetie and head out for a leisurely hike and enjoy the sunshine and blue skies. I spend a lot of time indoors, running my shop, and since winter is on the way, the thought of spending the whole day outdoors in the sunshine felt like bliss to me.

The more I thought about it, the more tempting it became.  

I had a brief moment of indecision when I thought about my blog, and my housework, and wondered when I would be able to find the time to sit down and write something, especially since I still had no clue what I would write about and I always like to write something that feels inspired.

I decided to practice what I teach, and that is, to do what feels good now, go out and play, and trust it would all work out.

So I called up my Sweetie and he said he would pack us a lunch and come by and pick me up within the hour. (By the way, my Sweetie makes awesome sandwiches, too).

We headed out to a nearby lake, stopped for a cup of coffee, ate our lunch, went for a hike, and sat on a log in the woods enjoying the sunshine. It was such a beautiful day.

When I got back home later that evening, I still had no clue what I was going to write.  

I turned on my laptop and picked up a notebook laying beside it and when I opened it up, there was a whole blog post, title and all, in my handwriting, that I had no recollection of ever writing.

I read it and thought, I love this, this is the perfect thing to write, when did I write this? Did it magically appear? I have no clue, but it definitely felt inspired. I easily typed it up and scheduled it to post. 

How's that for following your bliss?

Find ways to follow your bliss, to feel good now.  Trust me, you'll be glad you did, and expect good things to happen. 

Until next time.

Love and Luck.

Choose Happy Thoughts

I don't know about you but I've always heard "think positive", or "keep a positive mental attitude".

On the other hand, I've also heard, "wake up and smell the coffee", "get your head out of the sand", and "face the facts".

So which is it?

Since we have the freedom to choose, I like to choose thoughts that make me happy.

I believe our thoughts define our choices, choices lead to actions, (or non actions), and the actions, (or non actions), lead to our results.

For instance, let's talk about being "lucky" and winning sweepstakes.

A person who is "facing the facts", so to speak, might be thinking thoughts along these lines.

• Nobody ever wins sweepstakes.  
• Some people are just born lucky and I'm not one of them.
• Sweepstakes are just for show and advertising. 
• I've never won anything in my life.
• The odds are so great you just can't win so why waste your time.
• Buying a lottery ticket is a waste of money.
• If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

Would a person thinking these kind of thoughts even bother to enter or buy a ticket?  Probably not, and of course they will prove themselves right, and never win. We all "know" you can't win if you don't enter or have a ticket.

Thoughts=Choices=Actions=Results

Now I on the other hand prefer to choose thoughts that make me happy.
Thoughts like:

• Someone's going to win and it could be me.
• I love winning, winning is fun!
• If I can dream it, I can do it!
• Facts can change, and they do.
• Something wonderful is happening in my life.

And guess what? I've won! I've won trips, my Toshiba laptop, over $2,000 in cash, a shopping cart full of groceries, diamond rings and jewelry, Lenox fine china, and more. 

Some lottery winnings

Now that I have won so many different things, I have more happy thoughts to choose from like: I am lucky, I am a winner.

Sometimes it can be difficult to come up with happy thoughts when negative ones seem to be so plentiful.

One easy way I use to find happy thoughts is to ask myself, what would I be thinking if I were the winner, if I were lucky?

You can do this with anything you desire, including money, a job, your soul mate, or your health.

Just ask, what would I be thinking if I already had it?  Before you know it, you'll have a whole list of happy thoughts you can choose to think.

Remember,

 Thoughts=Choices=Actions=Results

 

Choose happy thoughts!

Until next time, Love and Luck.

Down on Your Luck?

Sometimes it feels like things are just not manifesting the way we think they should, or in some cases we are getting the opposite of what we wanted, and when that happens we can start to feel like we are "down on our luck".

I've certainly been there, how about you?

It can be disappointing and frustrating to say the least, and feeling frustrated and disappointed only leads to more disappointment and frustration.  What a vicious cycle.

Well here are some of my tips for getting back into alignment with what we do want, and into a better feeling place.

• Reevaluate your goal.  Is it still what we want? Sometimes our goals and desires change but we are afraid to let go of old dreams and change course.

Remember the first step to manifesting your heart's desire is to know what you truly want, why you want it, and how you expect to feel when you get it.

• Take a moment to reflect and see if there is any reason why you wouldn't want your desire to show up right now.

Sometimes we have thoughts and fears that we aren't aware of that block our desire from manifesting.

• Practice some more of "getting into the feeling" of having what you want.

This can be as easy as closing your eyes, pretending you already have it, and hearing others congratulate you on it.  Look for other areas of your life where you already have the feeling.

• Relax and let go of the outcome, occupy your mind with something else and enjoy the now.

This can be easier said than done but here are some ways I do it.

• Get outdoors and go for a walk, a run, or a bike ride.  Notice the beauty and abundance of nature.
• Play a board game with your partner or kids. I always feel like a kid again every time I play Monopoly, Life, or Clue. How can you focus on anything else while playing Operation?
• Take a long luxurious bath while listening to your favorite music.
• Get a massage or Reiki
• Bake a batch of cookies or cake and celebrate in advance. 

Practice gratitude.  Count your blessings.  Make a list of everything you are thankful for and everything that is going right.

And last but not least, remember that facts can change, and each moment is filled with Infinite possibilities. 

If you can imagine it, and keep the faith, it can happen.

People get "Lucky" every day.

Until next time, 

Love and Luck.

Good Luck for a Buck!

The other day in my comic shop, I had a young boy, I'd say he was about 11 or 12, come in and admitted he had no money but wanted to look at the new "Death of Wolverine" comics. I pointed them out to him and then went on taking care of business. 

A few minutes later his dad popped his head in the door and said, "let's go son".
The boy begged his dad to let him stay just a few minutes longer so he could look at the comics, but dad wasn't having it.

I could tell he really wanted to read them, so on the spur of the moment I picked up the two comics and handed them to him and said. "Here you go, today's your lucky day, they're my gift to you, enjoy!"

His face lit up and he grinned from ear to ear. He was thrilled. All the way to the door he kept turning and saying, "thank you".

After he left, I must say that I was smiling too. I had just given someone a "lucky" day and that felt good.

A few weeks ago, my Sweetie was in a hurry and decided to run through the drive thru and grab a coffee and a burger on the go. He said the young lady waiting on him seemed so genuinely nice and had such a nice smile, that when she handed him his change he handed her $5 as a gift.

Sweetie said, "you know, $5 isn't that much money but you'd have thought it was by the way her face lit up, and it made me feel so good.  That's a lot of feeling good for just $5."

When he told me how good it felt for him to make someone's day, I confessed I occasionally leave a dollar bill laying on the table in the post office just so someone will find it and feel "lucky".  

I know that when I find money, I feel lucky.  So, I'm passing on the thrill and it thrills me to know I'm making someone's "lucky" day.

That's a lot of feel good bang for a buck.

I've said it before, we get what we give and when we give it, it's ours.

Want to feel "lucky" today? Make someone else feel lucky.

This can be as easy as leaving coins or a dollar laying somewhere for someone to find. If you don't have any extra cash, leave a note.  

Something like:

• You are loved.
• The Angels are with you.
• Life is good.
• All is well.

It doesn't matter, just write what comes from your heart.  

You can leave a note anywhere.  It could be inside the front page of the next newspaper on the stack. Inside a magazine in the doctor's waiting room, etc.

I'm sure if you begin looking for ways to make others feel blessed and "lucky", you'll soon be feeling blessed and lucky yourself.

Go ahead, make someone's lucky day!

Write and let me know all about it.  I love hearing good news.

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Attracting a More Profitable Business

 
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.”
―Henry Ford

A couple nights ago I was sitting at my Sweetie's table while he was preparing us a delicious dinner, when he casually asked how sales at the shop had been this week.  

I replied they had been a little lower than I was shooting for, and he asked, "why do you think that is?". 

I started giving him all the "reasons", such as: 

• October is traditionally a slow month
• It's been raining all week
• It's the time of the month
• It's football season
• It's an election year
• Blah, blah, blah.  

It wasn't until the next morning when I was setting my intentions for the day and what I would like to create, that I recalled all those "reasons" and had a sudden "aha" moment.  

What the heck?  Those aren't reasons, those are limiting beliefs! Limiting beliefs that form the mold of what I can create. Beliefs that could keep me from being in alignment with my most profitable October ever.

Is there any less money in circulation in October than other months? No! In fact, if you've ever been to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving and Printing office in D.C. you can watch them printing more almost every day.

Do I have less merchandise to sell in October? No! I have as much as ever.  (I joke that my inventory miraculously multiplies at night when I am not looking.)

Are there less customers on the planet than there were last month? No!  More people are born every day. 

And here is the clincher...Is this power that I have to deliberately create limited by time, the weather, politics, or anything else?  Absolutely NOT!

I think it was Ernest Holmes who said, "This power is not just any power, it is all power". 

So right then and there I eliminated those limiting beliefs and chose to exercise my power to create. 

As I was aligning with my best October ever and a more profitable business than ever before,  I created a profitable business vibration activation.  

It just takes a couple minutes to read through it and it gets my feeling good about my profitable business vibes flowing.  

If you have a business of your own, or desire one, and whether you offer merchandise or services, may it align you with your profitable business.


Here it is:

"My Profitable Business"

I am loving my thriving, successful, ever expanding, enjoyable, highly profitable business that is so easy and effortless to own and operate.

I am amazed at how quickly my sales and profits are increasing.

I am open to being and receiving even more profits and success.

I am open to being and receiving an even more profitable and successful business.

I feel so lucky. I am lucky. Thank you, Universe!

So it is!

Let me know how it goes.

Evidence of a Lucky Life!

Each day I look for evidence to support my belief that I live a lucky life.

We can all find evidence for an unlucky life or a lucky life. It's up to us what we focus on.

The Law of Attraction says that whatever I am giving attention to and putting my focus on is what I will attract more of. I don't know about you but I prefer lucky.

My life isn't perfect and I could easily make you a list of all the things that appear to be going "wrong" but I choose to find the good.

So here's my evidence log from the past week in random order. 

• Morning runs in the crisp autumn air.
• Sunshine, blue skies and mild temperatures.
• Received a surprise check in the mail for $168
• Riding my "new" vintage 5-speed I got for $14.99 at Goodwill this week.

  

  My first 5-speed, I love it!

• Doubled my email list in September
• Powerful healing Reiki session
• Homemade tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches made by my Sweetie.
• Awesome sales at my shop
• Great Sun Ra Arkestra concert

  

  Marshall Allen (L)

  
  

   
• Receiving extra free inventory in my shipment, to sell, and told to keep it.
• Fun dates with my Sweetie!

  

  I think we make a cute couple!

• Driving a brand new car with free Sirius XM radio!
• Having all my bills current.
• Pumpkin cream cheese muffins and coffee.
• My wonderful daughter  

And the list could go on! I do live a "lucky" life.

So what's your evidence?  I'd love to hear it.

Love and Luck,
Lucky Lady

Can Decluttering Increase Your Luck?

Absolutely!

I'll be the first to confess, I am guilty.  Guilty of too much stuff, too little space.
 
I have a strong tendency to hang on to cards, notes, receipts, old calendars, magazines, books, etc. way too long. 

However, I have found that decluttering and cleaning can actually increase my energy, my luck and my money.

Not long ago at my shop, I was taking a break when I noticed the huge stack of papers, comics, catalogs, pamphlets, promo items, and newspapers that were piled haphazardly under my counter.  

I decided to take action and got to work sorting. Sell it, keep it, recycle it, donate it, or throw it away.

Not only did I start feeling lighter, more energetic, organized and happier, when I got to the bottom of the stack, I found eight $20 bills = $160.00!

How's that for increasing my money? 

I have noticed that whenever I am feeling stuck, every time I declutter and let go of even a few things I no longer need, it frees up the space and energy for something good to happen or shows up.

Sometimes I declutter mentally by examining and letting go of old beliefs that no longer serve me and letting in new beliefs that do.  This really increases my luck!

So why not give it a try?  Aristotle said, "Nature abhors a vacuum". 

I say, declutter and increase your luck and possibly your money too!

Love and luck,

At Last

Since last week's post was about beating the drum of my ideal concert experience, I thought I would share one of my earliest ones, which is also my very first experience in deliberately using visualization. 

It made a believer out of me. 

 

 I have loved the old Etta James song, “At Last” from the first moment I heard it.

During the deepest, darkest, period of my life, I heard Bobby Caldwell’s version, from his album “Soul Survivor”, for the first time, and it brought tears to my eyes. Okay, I’ll admit, I cried like a baby.  I listened to it over and over and I felt as though it warmed my soul. 

A few months later, I was feeling very low. My daughter and I were homeless, my business’ store front had been crashed in by a drunk driver, and sales had plummeted.  Truth is I was very depressed. 

My mother suggested I do something to lift my spirits.  Why not go see this Bobby Caldwell guy in concert? So I looked him up and found out he was doing a show in a city about 275 miles away.  Mom agreed to take care of my daughter and my shop, and I drove the five hours to the show.

Bobby Caldwell had his eighteen piece big band with him and it was a great concert.  It definitely lifted my spirits and I even stuck around after the show, talking to a couple of the band members, got my CD’s autographed by Mr. Caldwell and even had a picture taken with him. But he never sang “At Last”. 

When I got home and had my film developed, the photo turned out really well, so I mailed it to Mr. Caldwell in California and asked him to sign it for me.

A few life changing months went by, and in my quest to "change my thoughts and change my life" I read a book by Shakti Gawain called “Creative Visualization”. 

I hadn’t tried it yet, just read it. 

A few weeks later while visiting my brother in Chicago, an ad for a Bobby Caldwell concert taking place in two weeks, caught my eye. I informed my brother that I would be back in two weeks if I could get a ticket to the show.

When I returned home, I noticed the Creative Visualization book sitting beside my bed, and decided to give it try. 

Every night for the next two weeks, I went to sleep visualizing being at the Bobby Caldwell concert, hearing him sing “At Last”, and how that would make me feel.  

I would play the CD and feel the feeling as if it were happening right then. 

I called and bought my ticket.  Since I only needed one, I got a great seat on the 11^th row. 

When the time came, my daughter and I made the 500 mile (each way) trip to Chicago.

I was so excited.  I just knew he was going to sing my song.  I could feel it. After all, I had been feeling it and seeing it, every night for the past two weeks. 

I found my way to the University campus (no GPS just an old fashioned map), where the concert was being held and went in and took my seat. 

As I sat there waiting for the show, the lady beside me said, “Honey, I think the guy at the organ is trying to get your attention”.  I looked up and sure enough it looked like he was waving at me, so I waved back. I remembered talking to him after the show in Cleveland.

During intermission the keyboard guy came out to talk to me.  He said, “I don’t remember your name, or where it we met, but I remember you.  Would you like to come backstage and say hi to Bobby after the show?”  Well of course I would!

 

The concert was fantastic.  Even better than the first one, but he didn’t sing “At Last”.  As the show ended, I refused to believe that all my visualizing hadn’t worked.  It was such a great concert I couldn’t be disappointed.  Instead, I told myself that maybe this visualization stuff just took a bit longer than two weeks, and perhaps I would get to go to another concert and he would sing it then.

The keyboard guy came out and escorted me backstage to Mr. Caldwell’s dressing room. There were a lot of people in there so we just waited around until they all cleared out and Mr. Caldwell came over.

We started chatting and he signed my newest CD’s and commented that I looked familiar.  I mentioned I had seen the show in Cleveland and I had sent him my photo from that show and he had signed it for me. He asked if I had driven all the way from Cleveland to Chicago for this show.  I said, “No, I drove five hundred miles from WV, to see this show!” He then asked if I had enjoyed it.  “I loved it, I replied, but I was so hoping you would sing, “At Last”.”  

He took me by the hand, and began singing “At Last”, right there, in the dressing room. It was not the way I had pictured it, and of course he didn’t sing the whole song, and there was no big band, but it was better than anything I had visualized.  

I drove all five hundred miles home, on cloud nine. 

At last.

Have you ever deliberately use visualization?  

Did it work?  I'd love to hear all about it.  I love fun manifesting stories.

Love and luck,
