I guess I learned the law of attraction from a really young age. Maybe I didn’t realise what I was creating at the time, but I had manifested something amazing and very heartfelt. 

It all started when I was at school one day. I think I was in year 5 at the time. My friend, Rachel, was telling me a beautiful story about her cat that had just given birth to kittens over the weekend. I became excited but slightly jealous that she had new kittens to take care of and play with when she would finish school each day. So, a couple of days later, I had told her that I was so excited to go home that day because my new cat had just given birth to kittens. Rachel instantly knew I was lying, but a part of me wanted the same happiness and joy in my life that I guess I couldn’t help myself. I imagined details in my mind as I told her how beautiful and affectionate my new pets were, and I proudly announced that there was so much love between me and them. I had convinced myself day after day that it was the truth. I had convinced myself so much so that when the school bell rang to go home, I became overwhelmed with excitement and joy, imagining the kittens waiting for me to arrive home and give them my food and affection. Of course, there were days where I actually became disappointed that they weren’t there, and I cried, wishing that my mum would let me have a new kitten… just one would have been enough. I wanted so much to give my love to animals, care for them and feed them.
 
A couple of years went by, and I was now in high school. I had forgotten all about the kitten story as I already had a new cat. Her name was Billie. She was a charm to cuddle and play with.  Every day after school she would greet me at the door with her big beautiful eyes.

One morning, I remember my mum was upset about the news that Billie was pregnant. I was amazed. I sat next to Billie and kissed her on the head and told her that I love her.

Weeks went by, and one morning I was sitting on the couch watching tv with my friend, Nicole. Billie was sound asleep on my lap when suddenly she woke up… She clawed at my shirt with fear and started meowing. I saw that her stomach muscles were contracting, and so I anxiously asked Nicole to find a towel or something to put under Billie in case she was to give birth. Snd that she did. Right on my lap. There were six beautiful little kittens. Some were fully black, others multi-coloured, some were black and white. At that moment, I felt so joyful and I remembered all the days I wished for a wonderful pet to take care of.

I guess the point to my story is that I now understand that you really do attract the things that you really, really want, even if it’s a beautiful pet to be your friend.
