On August 31st, I lost a $50 bill. You see, I was laid off my corporate job a few months ago and on this particular day I forgot to look at my vibrational reality. I knew that I needed to go grocery shopping and so I dipped into– what appeared to be – my dwindling stash of cash. All I saw was money going out, out, out and no money coming in and for a few moments I just stood there in a state of panic. Nevertheless, I reached in and hesitantly grabbed a $50 bill. My wallet was in my car, so my plan was to walk by my car on the way to the laundry room and place the cash inside my wallet so that I didn’t forget it when I went to the store.
So with a great big load of laundry in my arms and my $50 bill and car keys tucked into my bottom hand I started outside towards the laundry room. And dang-it-all, I passed by my car without even thinking to stop. Now I was too far, almost at the laundry room, so I decided to put the money in the car on the way back to my apartment. I remember setting the money down on the dryer and placing my keys on top so it wouldn’t blow away AND so I wouldn’t forget it LOL. So after the laundry was in the wash I walked straight back to my apartment. FORGOT to stop by my car. I went back to transfer the laundry into the dryer and then absentmindedly walked back to my apartment again. Retarded but true. After my clothes were dry I realized that the money was missing. CRAP! I looked in and around my car, in and around the laundry room and even shook my clothes when they came out of the dryer, hoping that a $50 bill would fall out. No such luck.
Right away I realized the money vanished because of my poverty consciousness. If I look at money disappearing and say “it’s disappearing!” then guess what, Einstein? It’s going to disappear!
So I started talking myself downstream and telling myself how prosperous I was, how sure I was that money was going to start flowing in to me again and I began to look at my vibrational reality, and remember that I was financially secure. I think I made the mental turn-around within about 10 seconds or so, so I was happy with that!
Then I started thinking “wouldn’t it be nice if” … I got my money back?! Then I played that scenario out in my head. How would it happen? Well, it was probably found by one of the tenants in my building. Then a pessimistic voice inside my head said “Right! Someone is really going to return money. Yeah, that’s likely!” but I continued on with my scenario. One way the finder could find the owner is to drop a note inside each tenant’s mail slot. Wouldn’t that be nice? But the note would have to be vague and say “I found something” because naturally if you say “I found $50” everyone is going to claim it. I was sure of only one thing. A man found it. That much I knew. In any case, I dismissed the whole idea. I made an effort to put it out of my mind completely because I knew that right now the topic of money was a slippery slope for me and nothing is more important than that I stay happy.
I reluctantly grabbed another $50 bill and drove to the grocery store. When I returned, I decided to go for a bike ride to the beach! It was a beautiful sunny afternoon and I had been wanting to go for a ride all morning but for some reason I kept putting it off. Suddenly though, I knew it was the perfect time and I raced out back to get my bike. I should mention that by this point I had deliberately been singing and carefully selecting happy thoughts and I was ELATED to be living in Venice and going to the beach! Definitely in the Vortex. I wheeled my bike out front and rode it a few yards before I saw this sign. It was staked in the ground right next to where my car had been parked in the morning. It said “I found ‘something’ here. If you lost ‘something’ here, call me at 310-555-5555. Tuesday, 10:30am.” I stopped, grinned, pulled my cell phone out and dialed the number. As I thought, it was a man. He told me where he lived and I rode straight to his house and had the money in my pocket within 5 minutes!
With any manifestation, the icing on the cake for me is getting to find out, and then revel in, how Law of Attraction orchestrates everything. It’s so exhilarating to know that LOA is ALWAYS at work and that my vibration was pure enough (meaning no resistance) that this guy was so strongly inspired to 1) find the owner of the money; 2) walk all the way home and create a double sided sign that specifically said “I found SOMETHING here”; 3) find 2 skewers and carefully tape them against both sides of the sign; 4) walk all the way back to my place and stake the sign into the ground; 5) walk all the way home again; 6) offer to drive over to my place and deliver the money to me (I rode to his house instead); 7) do all this with a great big smile on his face!
I LOVE that I got my money back !!! I can’t wait to collect all the other $50 bills in my vortex !!!
