After a breakup with my boyfriend of 3 years whom I lived with, in what I thought at the time was my future lifelong home in mountainous Colorado, I had to leave. I couldn’t afford to live alone. I had to quit my job as a nanny and move back home to Minnesota, in my parents house, as a 29 year old. I felt like a failure. I had to start over in every aspect of my life; job, relationships, and place to call home. Though I was feeling low, I knew I could use the Law of Attraction to create the next era of my life.

I began with a list, categorizing by relationships, home, job, etc. I wrote down characteristics of each. One by one, each began to fall into place.

The category of a job, soon to be fulfilled, had not come to pass yet. I did find temporary jobs in the meantime, for the money, which I wasn’t satisfied with, but knew it was a good start. But at that point I had found my dream future husband, and dream location of a home out in the country with lots of forest acreage. Sitting at the window of my beautiful home, I updated my dream qualities in a job. They were as follows:

– Make at least $15/hour
– A job I look forward to going to
– Feeling appreciated and valued
– Opportunity to teach kids
– Feel challenged
– Work 30 hours/week

As a person who works with kids, I accepted that I would have to make less doing what I loved. In the past I had only made $11/hour at the most.

I decided to have faith in finding my dream job and making more than I was used to. I put the list away, and actually forgot about it.

A couple of months later, I ended up getting in touch with a nanny agency who found me a job working 30 hours/week for $20/hour. I would be homeschooling the children using a teaching method I happen to be passionate about. I have never felt so grateful for how much the family appreciates and values me. And, it definitely challenges me!

I was going through papers in my desk, and came across the list I had forgotten about. Although I believe in the Law of Attraction, I was still stunned to see that my dream job description not only fit what I had listed as my desires, but had received above and beyond what I had asked for.
