A Zebra In Utah!
Submitted by: Bill R
Chino, CAI am a corporate training and public relations manager in the mortgage industry. I became a father for the first time at 52 and started a blog about my experience as a father. I have recently started writing children's books and I love it! My goal is to be a full-time writer and speaker and travel around the world.
In June of 2020, I was on a road trip with my family to Lake Powell on the Utah and Arizona border.
We left the house in the middle of the night so that my four year old son could sleep most of the way since it can be hard on a young child to sit for 8 to 10 hours. My wife was in the back seat with my son and my 26 year old stepson was riding shotgun.
As the sun rose over the Arizona sky, I turned to my stepson, who has an open mind regarding “The Secret” and the law of attraction. I said to him, “Let’s see if we can create something by asking the Universe for it and being thankful for what we have received.
We had played this game before and manifested two Bighorn sheep while on a hike in Joshua Tree National Park, so I knew he’d be on board.
I said, “I am asking the Universe to let us see a herd of deer before we arrive at Lake Powell.” We both said to ourselves, and out loud that, “We are happy and grateful that we were able to see a herd of deer this morning.” Within five minutes, we spotted a herd of 10 to 15 deer on the left side of the road.
After we laughed about how quickly we were able to manifest deer by being intentional and grateful, he turned to me and said, “Well, we are in Utah, of course, we are going to see deer by the side of the road.”
So I said, “You are right! Let’s think of something that could only have been produced through our use of The Secret and the law of attraction.” I continued, “Would you agree, that if we saw a zebra while we are here at Lake Powell, that it would be clear that it was something that we had generated through our thoughts and belief?” He agreed. For the next few days, just about every time we made eye contact we thought to ourselves, “I am happy and grateful that we were able to see a zebra while here at Lake Powell.”
On the morning of our third day of camping, the other set of parents announced that they were driving into town to pick up some beer, soda, and ice. When they returned, they had a bag of toys for my four year old son, which they presented to him.
My son thanked them and plopped down at my feet, where he proceeded to pour the contents of the bag onto the dirt. I looked down and chuckled. I made eye contact with my stepson, reached down, and grabbed a plastic figure from the pile. I held it up and simply said, “Zebra!”
This trip bordered on magical. We had a lot of success using the law of attraction. Through our thoughts and by being grateful, I also manifested an ancient Native American artifact. It was a hand-carved stone that has been estimated to be over 1,000 years old.
I also asked the Universe to see a large herd of Pronghorn deer, also known as American antelopes. I asked to see them at the Petrified Forest and while we were on a four-wheeling tour near Sedona, AZ. Just when I thought all was lost, I restated my appreciation for seeing the herd, which then appeared on a hill just outside of Prescott, AZ.
I continue to use “The Secret” to intentionally create miracles in my life every day. Thank you so very much for The Secret! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
