A penny for your thoughts……
Submitted by: Carolyn H
Anderson, INI am single, and work in the mental health field. I found myself searching for a new path after my divorce several years ago. The old beliefs didn't bring the comfort I needed... so, from being introduced to Unity to the Secret, I believe I have found the path for me.
After watching the video and reading The Secret, I decided to experiment in a “small” way. I asked the Universe to give me a penny in all sorts of places. Becoming alert and with expectation (tinged with a bit of doubt), I began finding pennies in the middle of the road when taking walks, in parking lots, in stores, etc. The strangest one was found in the pocket of a jacket I had worn all day, and didn’t find the penny until I was entering the hospital to see my father who was gravely ill… what a comfort that was. Mind you, I am a person who stuffs her hands in jacket pockets as habit, however I didn’t find it until I really needed to that evening.
I started keeping them as “evidence”. It became pretty easy so, of course, I doubted. I thought apparently that was just too easy because pennies don’t have much value and are easily lost. So, I changed my intention to a nickel… and after about a week or so I not only found a nickel but also a dime right next to it in a convenience store parking lot. My theory is that the Universe knew I would be asking for a dime next, so why not just do it all at once. Beside, the chances of finding both together were not great. Maybe the Universe thought that should convince me…
Nope. I then decided to concentrate on a quarter. After all, most of us keep good track of quarters now days!!! So the chance of finding one was probably pretty slim without “divine intervention”. For two weeks after that I watched for and EXPECTED to find a quarter. Last Monday morning I went to my office as usual. After inviting my first client in, I reached down to push up the door stop in order to close the door. And there it was… a shiny quarter waiting for me right next to the door stop.
Ask, believe, and receive…
Anytime I start feeling a bit down or fearful, I visualize finding the quarter and re-experience the high that I felt in knowing I have the power within to attract the comfort I need.
