From Yaki: Happy Mug
7 months ago I was at a coffee shop, my favorite coffee shop Has Beans in Eureka. A man came in with an amazing ceramic mug that was in the shape of a crow. I absolutely loved the concept of having a mug take the shape of something such as an animal. I imagined the animal I would like having.
I went to my mama’s house for break and she bought me a coffee cup that’s handle was in the shape of an elephant trunk. The trunk merges into the cup, which is painted like an elephant. I loved this mug I imagined how cool it would be to take my cup with me to the coffee shop.
I left the mug at my mom’s and forgot all about it. I loved the cup but already I was refining my preferences for the right coffee mug. I wanted something FUN, HANDMADE, and unique. I wasn’t going to look for it b/c it’s easier to just imagine it then do something about it. LOL
Today, I made a spontaneous visit to my school adviser. He had good news for me, that good news leads me to the Clubs Office’s on campus. As I am walking back from the office I pass a table of ceramics, made by Humboldt State students. My interest is peaked so I stop by. I walk up and POW the first thing I see is this face looking back at me, the face was the mug.
In one unexpected surprise and delight moment I found something WAY BETTER than I originally envisioned and it satisfied all of my preferences. It’s fun, handmade, and literally one of kind.
Every time I look at this silly face I laugh out loud and rejoice in the fairness of law of attraction. This mug rocks.
