I was filling up my gas tank this morning and as I put my card back into my wallet, I started to look at my receipts. Some were for groceries, some were for clothing, some were for dining out, and as I reviewed them, I decided to take out my pen and write “THANK YOU” on each one.

When my gas tank was full, I printed out the receipt and I wrote on it “Thank you for the gas to get to many places” and headed out to my first client’s house. I was nervous because it was a first time clean, a large house, and I hadn’t been feeling well the past couple of days.

The first bit of magic occurred when I realized that the house was brand new and fairly clean already! Thank you! But I really wasn’t thinking about the magic of gratitude until the customer gave me and my crew a $200 dollar tip! That was on top of a $300 dollar clean!

I immediately recalled the little bit of time I had spent writing “THANK YOU” on all of my receipts and understood that the Universe was reminding me that feeling gratitude for the money I had already paid out guarantees that I will receive more. Thank you!
