Vision Board Shopper

I’ve been a strong believer of God and The Secret but I was always negative, too.
These past few weeks were different. I kept a gratitude book which I try to write in everyday about everything I am thankful for. I also printed everything I wanted to buy and taped them on my wall in my closet. I look at them everyday when I get dressed. I smile every time I see those and I smile every time I write on my gratitude book even when I had a bad day. One of the things that was on the paper I printed was a Samsung S3. After only one week of printing it, my husband surprised me with one, a week before Christmas. He never goes to my closet, I know that for sure.
Another story is that I’ve always been looking for a clawfoot tub but even if it’s in bad condition, the price does not come down below $400. It was on my visual board too. I just wanted one for a very long time and would often scour craigslist but I always see really old ones. One day, I found one for $400, it looked new and the original price was $1500. The price on craigslist was $400. I asked the guy to lower it to $300 and he said yes. So we went to pick it up and he also threw in a beautiful hand shower and beautiful antique style faucet for free. I asked him if a lot of people wanted the tub, he said it has been sitting there for 2 months and he was wondering why, because it’s a hot item, meaning a lot of people want that type of tub and for that price it was a steal.
When I went home to cross out the tub on my vision board, I was astonished to see that the tub I got was exactly the one I printed! I knew I printed a clawfoot tub but didn’t realize that I got something exactly like it, even the hand shower and faucet! Then I realized that the tub seemed like it was meant for me and was just waiting for me to find it. As if it became invisible to the rest, because not even one person other than me had inquired about it.
Three weeks had passed and I am still crossing out things that I’ve printed. I am in awe of how fast everything is coming to me. Today, I am printing new ones. I wish I knew a long time ago what I know now, my life would’ve been so different.
I used to keep a journal of all my complaints and all that I see wrong around me and I got more of that. Now I write about what I am thankful for and what I like and wow, what a difference!
