After reading The Secret, I decided I’d start with something small, like the man in the book who imagined the feather. I decided to imagine a penny, and I made sure the penny in my mind was special. My penny would be heads up when I found it, it would be very shiny and new, and most importantly, it would be dated 1996. This year is very special to me, and it was very important that this be the year on the penny.

I imagined this penny four days ago, and I thought of it several times for the last few days. A few times I found myself scanning the ground in parking lots and on sidewalks, searching for the penny. I had to remind myself that I did not need to look for the penny because it would find me.

I’m not sure if I thought of the penny at all today. I had not seen any penny at all since I imagined this one. Tonight I went to the movies, and as I was leaving the theater, for some reason I glanced at the ground, and there was a shiny penny. I immediately thought it was my penny, but I made sure it was heads up before touching it. Sure enough, it was. I snatched it up and literally cried when I saw that the date was 1996!

I am so glad I decided to start small, because that was what I needed to truly believe. Now I know I can do anything and have anything, and I just want to buy this book for everyone I know! Thank you so much, I truly am so grateful!
