Aching For The Ring.

I wanted to share this story, not because I used the LOA purposely to obtain the goal in this story as this happened before I was ever aware of The Secret. It is because after I started becoming aware of The Secret, my mind immediately went back to this incident and it was a huge confirmation for me at the time.
I had been married for 13 years and still didn’t have a proper wedding ring. My husband and I wed young and immediately started a family and he could not afford a ring, so I wore a knock off for 13 years. I was very happy and not concerned about it until the 13th year. I was older, we were making more money but I didn’t feel right asking him for one because our kids were still young and bills had to be paid. But it was an intense desire for me. One day, I decided to pray about it and then leave it at that, just whatever will be will be. After that, I felt so free from the constant longing of it, the constant aching and thinking about it!
Around this same time, I was introduced to Pinterest. I thought to myself, “I’ll just look up rings and create a jewelry board.”. I happen to not prefer diamonds, and I’m more of an old vintage style of girl, so my board was full of all kinds of different stones and styles. I would occasionally add to it but for the most part, I forgot about it.
A year later, on Christmas morning, my husband hands me a huge box in front of our kids, who are all excited. I open it to find a smaller box, then another, until I come to a small box from a popular jewelry store. My heart fell as I opened it to see a stunning morganite stone set, very vintage. Very me. I cried as I put it on! Come to find out, he had worked all of his holiday overtime to buy that ring, and his plan had come together about 4 months after I made that Pinterest board. He was so nervous about which ring to buy, knowing how I’m not very traditional.
A few days later I pulled up that same board to show him what I had saved because he still wasn’t sure if I really loved it. As I scrolled through, my heart stopped. There in front of us was the exact same ring. The same stone, the same band, the same cut. Everything. My husband did not have Pinterest, nor had I ever let on that I had wanted a ring.
As I was learning about and pondering how to activate the LOA in my life that memory came rushing back to me in a flood of emotion. I realized I had walked through it naturally, and it gave me the excitement and courage to let go and trust that this is true and I had done it, so I can do it again.
Since learning and actively seeking the LOA in my life, I now notice things daily, daily manifestations, and sometimes things I didn’t even realize I needed or wanted until they appear. I smile and say thank you. It’s been an amazing journey!
Thank you!
