I tell ya, the Fairies of the Forest who inhabit the woods
around our mountain cabin sure do have a great sense of humor! They have
pulled off two amazing manifestations that I must share with you. They
like to poke me in the ribs once in a while to remind me that the Law
of Attraction really IS in action.
In Chapter One of my dear friend, Sharon Warren’s book, Magnetizing
Your Heart’s Desire, she was kind enough to publish one of
my funny stories. I quote it directly here:
A Fun Fishy Creation and Demonstration Story
A humorous example of instant manifesting is a true story shared by my
dear friend, Germaine Cabe. Her husband, Steve, like my husband, Duaine,
has been somewhat skeptical and a "doubting Thomas" in the past.
This is a true story:
"My husband and friends have become very good-natured with their
tongue-in-cheek about my constantly saying, ‘Just ask the Universe.’
At least now, they have stopped rolling their eyes and crossing their
arms when I either request something from the Universe or give thanks
to the Universe when my various desires and outcomes manifest. I was out
of the country when this ‘creation’ occurred so I know the Universe
was clearly showing them how perfectly it all works, even when I’m
not around to do the asking and intending on their behalf.
My husband and our two close friends, John and Michele, rented a rowboat
and went trout fishing. Michelle got a good bite and excitedly reeled
in her catch. She got it up close to the boat, but since they had no fishing
net, the slippery trout managed to jump right out of her hands. They mourned
the loss of the trout and set about with determination to catch another
one.
Minutes later, John felt a tug on his line and hollered, ‘I’ve
got one!’ He reeled in fish #2 and the same scenario was repeated.
He got the fish up to the side of the boat, had no net to bring it in,
fish got away. John swore under his breath and grunted, ‘THAT’S
IT! THE FIRST THING I’M DOING WHEN WE GET OFF THIS BOAT IS GOING
DOWN TO THE COUNTRY STORE AND BUY A FISHING NET! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! We’ll
never catch anything this way!’
Five minutes later, John said, ‘Hey, I got something…no, wait…I
think my line is just hung up on a log. It doesn’t feel like a fish—not
enough action.’ He tugged and reeled away. Then he felt the tension
ease and started to bring in the mysterious object. Can you imagine it
was a FISHING NET?!? A very nice fishing net, looking no worse for wear
after being submerged for how knows how long. The threesome broke out
into laughter, raised their beers to the sky and shouted, ‘THANK
YOU UNIVERSE!’ A strong desire with no resistance. An instant manifestation
in magnetizing their heart’s desire! I really think they are starting
to believe and see how this ‘Universe stuff’ works."
Well, dear readers, I can now TOP that Fishy Story…
Recently, Steve and I were making our usual Friday afternoon trek up the
mountain. We remarked that the long-awaited monsoon rains had really made
the wild grasses (okay, WEEDS) grow in our yard up there, and it was time
for a good mowing and trimming. However, last fall, when our kids bought
a home back in the Valley, we took pity on their "broke new homeowner"
status and let them borrow our weed eater, blower, and step ladder (just
until they could get back on their feet, of course). Well, nine months
later, we’re still waiting. Steve said, "You know, I really
DO have to get my weed eater back from those kids. I suppose I’ll
have to buy them one, in order to accomplish that!" I laughed and
agreed. We spent a lovely cool evening on our front porch, surveying the
tall weeds rising up amongst the Ponderosa pines. On Saturday morning,
Steve went for his usual quad ride through the forest, looking for deer
and elk. He spends hours out there every weekend, communing with nature
and spotting game. He parked the quad and hiked way back in the woods,
keeping his eye out for "antler sheds" as well. Well, what did
the Forest Fairies deliver this time? A weed eater.
Yes, a new-looking, ELECTRIC weed eater, leaning up against a tree, in
the middle of a remote forest!!!! What do you suppose the odds of THAT
are?
When I heard Steve ride into the yard, I saw that his lap was full of
stuff sticking out all over. Not only had he found his gardener’s
treasure, but he came across several antlers (which now adorn our neighbor’s
cabin as handy hat racks). I don’t think I’ve ever seen Steve
smile so wide! I laughed along with him and said, "Well, honey, you
have to go back again to see if you’ll find a ladder, a blower and
the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." We were skeptical that
it would actually WORK, but when he plugged it in, it roared to life and
cut a mean swatch through the grass. Steve proudly hung his new tool in
the storage closet and we toasted with a glass of wine to our Benevolent
Helpers.
I guess The Forest Fairies love to deliver things that we haven’t
built up "vibrational resistance" to. Our psyches aren’t
protesting, "Well, I’m not WORTHY of a weed eater. I took a
vow in a former life to never use weed eaters. If I get a weed eater,
then there won’t be enough to go around. There’s a world shortage
of weed eaters. Weed eaters are the root of all evil, yada, yada, yada…"
Now, if those lovely little Devas would just plop a big, brand new garage
and woodworking shop in my cabin yard, I would REALLY be happy!
