I had been exposed to the movie The Secret on Netflix. That stirred up my emotions to learn more about it. I recently bought the book, The Magic, and began reading it. I read about the first 20 pages into the book until I came to Day 1 of the daily practices, the Gratitude Practice. I followed the directions as described then I put the book down. I wanted to do other things in my day, such as gardening.

I went outside to the garden shed which we keep locked. Of course, there is only 1 key for the shed and I can’t find it. I start searching for the shed key. I look everywhere, in my previously worn pants and jackets. I look in the vehicles. I even start searching on the ground around the house. The shed key is nowhere to be found. Then I decided to ask the Universe for help. That is all I did. I asked for guidance and stopped thinking about looking for the shed key.

About a minute later, I walk into the house. I see The Magic book sitting on the table where I was reading it earlier. I decided that I should move the book to my den so I can read more of it later. I take the book upstairs to my den and the instant I walk into the den I see a fleece jacket sitting on the chair.

I placed The Magic book on the desk and said thank you, thank you, thank you. Before I even checked the pockets in the jacket, I had the feeling that the shed key would be in the pocket the moment I saw the jacket. All because I brought The Magic book upstairs at the precise time I needed to find my shed key. I know the Universe presented the solution easily to me.

The next day I read Day 2 of the practices in The Magic book. After reading it, I thought about finding a Gratitude Rock. Again, I thought about it and then turned my attention to something else. In this case, I let my dogs out on the back deck. I followed the dogs out onto the deck. I was walking barefoot on the wooden deck. Then I felt something uncomfortable under my foot. It was a perfectly shaped rock. I knew the moment I saw it that it was my Gratitude Rock that had been presented to me by the Universe.

The Universe grants us blessings through moments of discomfort or challenges. Thank you Universe, I look forward to more and more manifesting in my life.
