Not sure if this is the right area to post this...Just wanted to share it...
I received the “Between Issues Update” (my first) from Rebecca (thank you)on Friday morning and read the story by Barry Morris “A HOME OVERLOOKING THE OCEAN” and found myself crying from being touched deeply from the reality of how easy it is when “connected” to the source and how close Barry’s dream is to my own dream. I was feeling frustrated not knowing what to do about my emotional state and so decided to ride my pushbike to the public library as I do often to enjoy the nice sunny day. So I arrive at the library and leave my bike against the wall like I usually do and I go inside and sit at a table and get out my Journaling pad and decide to start a CMI journal since that is what I have been reading about on the forum here and thinking it time to start one. I write out a list of five things I want to have in my life. After I finish the list and reading it through a few times I have this clear thought that “I have finally clarified my desired lifestyle” and was feeling really pleased at this realization. So I pack up my things and walk out of the library and around the corner to collect my pushbike…but its gone…stolen during that short time. Now surprisingly, I chose not to have the feelings of anger, the poor me or why me which I am very familiar with but at the same time I did not know what to think accept that I felt good about my discovery inside the library and that seemed more important to me than this perceived loss. So I walked home (1 hours walk). Now, one of my items on the list is a BMW Z4 Roadster, and no, there was no BMW Z4 waiting at home for me, but I thought to tell my story here as I intend to follow up on it when I do get my BMW Z4, since I have asked for it!

Cheers

Hi Harvey,

First of all, welcome to SOGR! I hope you enjoy the journey.

Very interesting story. It's quite likely this event took place to pave the way to receive your BMW Z4 Roadster!

Last year, I was pulling out of a parking lot and had an accident....minor fender-bender that did more damage to my car than the other party. I took it to a body shop and it was going to cost more to fix than the car was worth, frankly. Things hadn't been going well financially and I was bummed. After thinking it over, I decided why not ask for a car I really wanted ...a Lincoln Mark VIII....black-on-black. They don't make that car anymore and they are becoming a bit of a collector's item.

I began visualizing it in my driveway. I collected pictures of that type and color of car and put them on my computer desktop to see everytime I logged on. When I was driving my old wrecked cluncker, I imagined I was driving the Mark VIII instead. In my mind, I owned that car.

Long story short, within a month I had the Mark VIII..same color/model I wanted..and it came to me in a perfect way at a price that was well within my range of affordability. (I have already been offered double what I paid for it!)

I donated my old car to Goodwill.

Bottomline, I probably would have put off getting the car I wanted for a very long time if I had not had the accident. You never know what the universe has in store when seemingly "bad" things happen.

Best to you,
Michael M.

Isn't that the truth!

There is no such thing as a bad thing. I learnt a lesson through a parable when I was eight years old that said something to the effect, "If God has allowed it, then it is good."

Thank you God!
