From no job, to my "dream" salary.
By Laurel

I have to tell you all to keep trusting, believing, dreaming, hoping and loving.
Last year, I watched my whole office get laid off. We grieved and coworkers lost homes. At that time, I wrote out a dream salary and made narrative of what my dream workplace would be like. I also wrote, "The new job will find me." I reviewed this narrative, reread the salary and imagined it. I was unemployed, but focused on being grateful, living a healthy life and exercising.
A job did find me! A job appeared out of thin air and I was asked how soon I could start. I bounced back into a more challenging, interesting, exciting job! I needed to learn new things and to grow! I got my first month of pay and I realized my pay had been bumped up to the top of the hiring range, which happened to be the exact amount I had written in my narrative about my "ideal" job. People were amazed that I went from being at home unemployed, to having this great job, being paid top of the hiring range, learning lots of great new skills and it's a top notch company. It was also a substantial raise from my old job-like a new car more.
There was one time right before my lay off, I struggled not to cry and feel hopeless; I was driving down the road at that moment, the clunker oncoming car... it had this HUGE WOODEN SIGN IN THE DASHBOARD SAYING: B-E-L-I-E-V-E! I told myself, I AM going to BELIEVE! I had to laugh, who has a sign like that in their dashboard?!?
