The First Time *IT* Happened to Me!

After a tough relationship break up I bought an inspiring book called Your Heart's Desire: Instructions to Creating the Life You Really Want by Sonia Choquette. http://www.soniachoquette.net/ . It is a wonderful workbook that reminded me of some of the concepts that I had learned many years prior with the Abraham- Hicks work http://www.abraham-hicks.com/lawofattractionsource/index.php . All of these ideas involve understanding the flow and movement of energy as well as the blocks that we may have that can keep us from enjoying abundant flow in our lives. Sonia's book was filled with her personal experiences of receiving things that she attracted to her. I bought the book because of the title. Little did I know how much it would change my life.

I was as still recovering from the breakup and had gone to the pick up soccer league in town. It was all men, and that was comfortable for me as I grew up playing soccer with all boys. Half way through the game both of my thighs began to burn and sting. I had no idea what could be wrong. I could barely walk. I did not want to draw attention to myself however I needed to leave the game. I never left a game unfinished so it would be odd any way that I tried to scoot out. During the halftime of the game I grabbed my watch and acted surprised, telling everyone that I had forgotten a commitment that I had made so I had to leave. I put on my shoes and tried to walk without hobbling to my car. I could not believe how much pain I was in. And that is how *IT* all began, leaving a pick up soccer game early because my legs hurt so bad and I could barely walk.

I felt bad for myself. Okay, I was throwing myself the biggest, best pity party imaginable. Then I remembered Sonia's great book. Why didn't I create something that I wanted, right then and there? I sure wanted a man to rub my legs so they would feel better. I verified and told the Universe what I wanted. a man to be at my house when I got home who would rub my legs. Half of my brain laughed out loud at how ludicrous that was as I could not think of a single man that I knew that could be available for such a thing. Heck I didn't even know that many men in general as I had just moved to the mainland three years prior to this moment.

I walked to my car and my eyes started to tear up. Most of my head was chanting the affirmation, "There will be a man at my house when I get home to rub my legs." Then there was that little, but very intense voice saying, "You're an idiot! You seriously think there will be a man at your house? You don't even know any men!" And the louder my affirmation got, the louder and nastier the opposite voice got, "You are terrible at relationships...you're such a loser..." but I hung in there. After all, Sonia told me that IT would show up, whatever I wanted. I was able to silence that "Debbie Downer" part of my brain and concentrate on a man being at my house when I got there to rub my legs.

I cried half way home and when I entered the house my children had friends over and they all wanted to know why I was home so early. I answered briefly and went to my room. I did not entirely give up because there was no man at my house. I just kept believing! No matter what, I was going to give this believing in things strategy a chance to work.

I was lying in my bed when the phone rang. It hurt my legs to even lean up and answer it. My mother was calling.

"Have you spoken with Peter lately?" she asked.

"No Mom" I replied, "Why?"

She told me about seeing his picture on the front of the local newspaper while he was at a town farm with his daughter. I quickly got off the phone with her because my legs hurt so bad an I really didn't want anyone to know. Then the phone rang again. It was my friend Peter.. He called to ask what I was up to. Having played soccer with Peter as one of the neighborhood boys that I grew up playing soccer with, I asked him his advice about my painful legs.

"I will be over there in five minutes to rub your legs", he said. I could not believe what I was hearing!!

"Pete, how is that possible?!" I questioned him. Peter worked in town. "You live almost an hour away and it is 7:30 p.m."

He explained that he has taken the afternoon off to be with his daughter so he had to go back to work and put in the hours.

Within forty five minutes of stating my desire, it was there! There was a man in my house rubbing my legs and it felt just as good as I had hoped!

Today is a good first day to begin seeing what we want in our life and through authentic and happy energy it will arrive. Enjoy the abundance that will fall right into your life, if you just believe IT can happen!
