In The Secret you are encouraged to start with some thing small. “Make it your intent to get…….”.

Well, I thought about it for a bit and I wanted, what I intended to be special enough that I would know it was my intent and not some chance. Yep, I’m a bit of a skeptic.

So, I intended a penny. Not just any penny, but a wheat penny. As a small aside, wheat penny’s have not been minted since 1959. They are sought by collectors and finding one in actual circulation would be difficult at best, short of going to a coin collector.

Using the principles in The Secret I put my mind on a 1950’s vintage wheat penny. I got a picture from the web, looked at it, imagined it in my hand, and imagined the feeling of finding this penny. I thought how happy I would be and what it meant to have it. I thought about this and even started to look at pennies. This went on for about 4 days. No penny. But I did not give up, remember, “Your wish is my command” and I wished it to be so.

I live in a house that has a junk room. You know the room, too much furniture and stuff I have never thrown out or given away, boxes, clothes and stuff. A junk room. Well, I was in this room and had decided to start cleaning things out. One of the things I removed was a box with odds and ends in it. Shoe polish, brushes, charger to who knows what, and an envelope. I picked up the envelope and could tell from the weight and how the contents moved it had some coins inside. As I picked it up I heard a single coin fall out and hit the floor with that tinker-bell sound that coins make when they hit the floor.

Well you know the rest.

I looked down to see a penny, not just any penny but a 1955 wheat penny!

I was in a bit of a shock. Sort of a reality meets belief, meets disbelief moment and disbelief goes packing. I would not entertain the how this happened outside of The Secret”. I will not question this, as the book tells me that the how is not my concern.

This penny has become a powerful symbol to me. Very simply put, my conscious and sub-conscious get along much better now. I am making it my intent to move forward with dreams I was too fearful to dream before, abundance, and to fix relationships with those I love.

I look forward to this new “Secret”, and “Power” full life.
