Hibachi Table
Submitted by: RhondaT
JapanI love The Secret. I am a mother and I own and operate an English school in Japan.
In my last story I wrote about getting my dream building. I will now tell you about the furniture.
As I mentioned in the story when we looked at the building the furniture, carpets and appliances matched to a T, everything I dreamed about in my building.
In the dining room there was an antique hibachi table with bench chairs. I told my husband 26 years ago that I wanted one. They are hard to find but in the house I live in there wouldn’t have been room for one even if I had found one. When I saw the table there, my heart started pounding.
After we decided to buy the building the owner also told us we could have the kitchen appliances, the 2 new sofas, the carpet, etc. for free. I of course immediately asked about the hibachi table. He said unfortunately he already sold it to a friend for $1500.
My husband said to me oh well. I said no, you wait, that table is mine. I took a picture of it while we were there. I printed it out and put it on my vision board . Then each day I envisioned drinking coffee with my family and friends. At night before sleeping I envisioned going to the final house check and the owner telling us that it was mine.
On August 10 we had to go for the final check as anything in the house that day would become ours and it was the last chance for the owner to have to pay for removing any items. I knew with all my heart the table would be there.
We started downstairs and everything was OK. Now the moment of truth, upstairs we go. I walked in the door and sure enough there was the table. My husband looked at me and I just smiled. Then the owner says to my husband would you like the table. He said of course, how much? We were prepared to pay the $1500. The owner says nothing. It is a house warming present. I wanted to hug the owner but couldn’t, but did the forever thank you bows.
In the car my husband said you are the luckiest person and I responded no, I have The Secret on my side. My husband then told me there is no doubt that I am now a firm believer .
My next secret is related to my nutritional energy drink company and of course the coffee cafe. I look forward to writing about the soon.
