All summer I had been searching for a car. I did not really know how I was going to afford it and it was beginning to stress me out a bit. I loved my old, rusty 2004 Chevy Malibu and I always included it in my gratitude prayers but I knew that I would need a new car soon.

Well, I was watching Amazing Race Canada on TV with Chevrolet Canada as one of the sponsors. Chevrolet was having a Twitter contest all across Canada which ran during the duration of the show from July to September. During this time I was still looking for a car but then I decided to change my conversations with God and the Universe. I would say and think things like, “I don’t know why I’m looking for a car, I’m going to win that contest.” Then I would envision myself driving the car. I would be literally driving and say, “What am I stressing about? I’m going to win that car!” I would also say things like, “I already have that SUV!” and then I would send up my prayers of gratitude to God and the Universe, being thankful for the car I had now and the SUV I was going to need. I even went online to look up the contest rules just to be ready when they contacted me.

Well, the Chevrolet Race Twitter contest came to an end and the date to announce the winner passed. Or at least I thought it had passed. It was actually the next day and lo and behold, Chevrolet Canada sent me a DM (Direct Message) on Twitter telling me I won the SUV. I actually won!!! A $56,000 SUV!!!

Two weeks later after I was announced the winner, I was driving and I suddenly remembered a Tweet I had sent out. I had forgotten all about it!!! As soon as I could, I went to look back in my old Twitter posts and I found this Tweet that I had sent out back in June, a month before the contest even started. The Tweet said this:

“I love my old Malibu car. It’s rusty but it still has it goin’ on. Soon I will have to say goodbye to it so I just wanted to put it out there in the Universe that if anyone has a used car they want to donate, please send me a DM! #universe #dreams #gratitude #love #thankful”

It had completely happened!!! Chevrolet sent me a DM telling me I won the SUV!!! Also, it turned out the SUV was too big for a small lady like me, so I was allowed to trade it in for cash! Not only am I able to afford a car now but I was able to pay down all my debt and still have money left over for home renovations I have been wanting to do!

I now know the practice it takes to believe that “thoughts becomes things” and that “out of nothing, out of no way, a way will be made.” Just believe, be positive, be kind, be grateful and good things will come.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
