While I was in high school, I used to like scrap-booking and creating vision-boards, unaware of the power of what I was doing. I remember cutting out a picture of a small silver car and imagining it as my first car.

Years later, in 2010, I was working far from home and was heavily pregnant at the time. My fiance arranged for me to stay with a friend of his, because it was closer to my workplace. One day I was off work and decided to clean this lady’s house and I came across this book, The Secret. I read a few pages then I dropped it and thought I would catch up later. I never did again for a couple of years.

My pregnancy was a bit difficult as I struggled with Iron Deficiency anemia, this worried my fiance a lot and one day out of the blue, he came to my house, asked my friend to blindfold me and we walked out to the drive way. And there it was the small silver car I had put on my board years ago.

I was still not aware that I had ‘called’ this car into my presence, so I went on living life as usual, without even being grateful for anything.

Late last year, 2011, I had an accident with the car, and because we could not afford to replace it, we decided to fix it. It went fine for a while, and then started giving problems. I got a new job closer to home and so we started saving for a deposit on a new car for me. I always joked around about the idea of getting an SUV in silver, I love silver cars. I came across The Secret at a colleague’s office and this time I read the whole book in a day. I started practicing the power within me to attract everything my heart desires.

In June this year, I got a call from my cellphone company saying that I should send in a copy of my driver’s license and proof of address because I had won a gift voucher. I did so and the following day at work, the receptionist called me downstairs and I was met by these two guys wearing T-shirts branded with the cellphone company’s logo. They escorted me to the parking lot and handed me keys to a brand new Hyundai Tucson. My heart probably stopped beating for a minute. Needless to say, the car was silver!

I cry as I type this because I realize how abundantly blessed I have been, just for saying thank you and saying what it is I want.

Now my fiance and I are planning our wedding and the universe WILL provide.
