My Cup of Coffee Story

I am a recent viewer of The Secret DVD. The concept is simple, but our society programs us to complicate things, and simplicity is hard to grasp at times.
So as you know, The Secret asks us to begin with just a cup of coffee. I thought okay, I’ll do that. Of course the “how” drifted in and out of my mind. Will someone just show up at my door with coffee? Will I get a free coffee coupon in the mail? For the last couple of days, I have been craving a vanilla latte, but decided not to get one or even make some coffee at home, because that didn’t count in my mind. I started simple, just slowly thinking of that cup. I didn’t obsess, just thought of it a few times throughout the day(yesterday). This morning I woke up wishing for that coffee, all the while saying thanks for my children and family.
My husband was called into work early today for court, and he said his goodbyes and off he went. About 1/2 hour later, he comes back home into our bedroom carrying a vanilla latte in hand for me. Court was canceled and on his way home he thought he would bring me some coffee. There it was, my wish at hand. He never knew that I was testing out The Secret. I never even mentioned that I even had a craving for coffee (as to give him some sort of hint of what I wanted).
Just thought I’d share. Now, back to my coffee.
