Synchronicities in my life
Since following the law of attraction, I have begun journaling any and all synchronicities that have shown up in my life as a result of my intentions. Most of these, especially the “minor” ones, happened when I had a “wistful” attitude, and really didn’t care too much about the result. I was relaxed, non-attached and had what I call a “healthy level of not giving a sh*t”! Here are a few:
Ex-Breakthrough (example of results of scripting and prayer)
I have a daughter with a woman who’m I’m not married to. The daughter lives with my wife and I. Since my wife and I have been together, my daughter’s mom has been mean, difficult, spiteful and has pretended that my wife doesn’t exist. My wife and I have prayed and prayed that and envisioned that someday we would all get along, be able to be in public together, etc. etc. Finally, ex went into an outpatient drug and alcohol rehab and had us come in for a session where we tearfully and powerfully began to reconcile. This is just the beginning, but I know it’s here and it’s very much as we envisioned and prayed.
Just a Coincidence?
A couple of weeks ago we attended one of my wife’s volunteer functions that she manages. We met this nice lady who owns a Victoria tea house 3 towns away who’d made the silk centerpieces for the event. I grabbed a glossy brochure thinking this might be a nice thing to do some afternoon. I put the brochure in my winter coat, which has been hanging on its hook ever since. We decided to go to the movies last night and It was unseasonably chilly. I grabbed my coat and threw it in the back seat of the car. On the way to the movies, we SAW the lady we’d met driving beside us. We forgot about it, saw the movie, went home. I grabbed my coat out of the back seat which I’d never had to use, and out fell the glossy brochure …. this isn’t earth shattering, but truthfully, what are the odds??
Christmas lights Client
I was putting christmas lights on a 12-15 foot spruce tree outside. There was one light out somewhere that was affecting ALL the lights. I started looking, getting aggravated, etc. Then I stopped and chuckled to myself and said, “well Ken, I think we might need help with this one!” … suddenly I looked in front of me and grabbed one little bulb and BAM!!! there is was!!
$1,000 gift from grandmother
After I went bankrupt years ago, I was struggling to get my business back on it’s feet. I was in one of those places where I’d written checks for bills and counted on money coming in from a job and it had not, and a couple checks were going to bounce the next day. I remember just reaching a point of “Ok, there’s nothing I can do, I’ve just got to see what happens and do the next right thing here, and stop worrying.”. When I went to the post office that day there was a check from my terminally ill grandmother for $1,000 she wanted to give us before she died. It saved the day. (Thanks Gram!!)
Haven’t seen King of the Hill in a long time!!
Around New Years of 2006, I suddenly had the urge to watch King of the Hill. I said to my wife, Hey, you know, it’s been a long time since I sat and watched “King of the Hill” and I remember the feeling, it wasn’t a feeling of lack, it was a feeling of wistful “wouldn’t that be nice” sort of thing. Of course, the next day …. there was a King of the Hill Marathon on one of th local channels and I got my fix.
Where’s that wedding ring?
Went on 2 mile walk, and when I returned realized lost wedding ring. Decided that I would simply find it, no questions asked. Doubts? Tried not to have em’ but you know… anyway, my lovely wife found the ring right in the glove box 2 weeks later!!
Christmas ornament sled “Believe”
My wife and I were at a restaurant waiting for some friends to show up. We started to talk about our money and how I decided we were to have $5,000,000. My wife commented that she can believe we’ll have it someday but that she had a hard time believing it would come … (and she paused looking for the right word) … and I jokingly said “next week??” and she said yes!! and they I looked to my left and the woman at the table next to me was showing someone else this christmas type ornament, it was a miniature sled, and written across the steering bar was the word … “Believe”.
No More Shoveling!!
I decided unconditionally and finally that we wouldn’t do any walkway shoveling next winter, just plowing. I was struggling to come up with decision on who to drop and who to try to find subcontractors for. There are 7-8 and this morning my WORST shoveling account called to say his house had sold and wouldn’t need us anymore. This was meaningful vs. the others because he is my nicest client and I really felt badly about telling him we couldn’t take care of him any more. This was another “unintentional intention” where I wasn’t consciously trying to make anything happen. I had completely surrendered to dropping this client, and I was NOT struggling to find a way to make it work. I simply felt sorrow for having to do it. This is another prime example of how powerful our thoughts are and how everything, everything, everything is a result of our thoughts, words and deeds…
Movie
Ok! 1-21-07 - went to Movie Gallery to get movies for wife and I. New movie with Robin Williams - “Night Listener”. Had this rush, like “oh, I can’t wait to see that!”, saw it was gone, decided IMMEDIATELY to test LOA. Decided the movie would come back during the time I was there. Also had that feeling like “God likes to make things happen in unexpected ways for me, every time I test the LOA, I get something weird, or unexpected”, so I thought it will probably happen either as I’m walking out the door or when I’ve already picked out my movies. It was the latter. No problem. I put one back! Never a doubt and I think the key was the playfullness of it all and the wanting, savoring feeling but not really giving a sh*t! heheh.
Set it and Forget it
I decided to start a page called “set it and forget it intentions” and I wrote “get 50 new hosting clients this year!”. As I typed the exclamation point, the phone rang with a new client prospect!
Wordless
Got a phone call from one of my top clients, needed snow work done on their driveway. I could tell she wanted it done that night but I had to tell her I was stuck home and could get to it first thing in the morning. I felt something, I sent something, but it was so “wordless” I am having trouble expressing it in words. It’s almost like a “regretless regret” which sounds like a “paradox” and I think that’s the key. When things approach paradoxical levels, they’re a little closer to “core” or “absolute” level vs. relative levels. Anyway, 5 minutes later, my employee calls and needs to use the plow truck for his mom’s house, and of course, I have him also swing by my best client’s house and take care of the problem within one hour of her phone call!
Friend’s Driveway
Have the impulse almost every storm to plow a friend’s driveway, but generally don’t. Finally did one day, no apparent reason, and he called later saying he was on his way back from New York at the time, dog tired and thought “wouldn’t it be nice if ….”
