I DID IT!!! #1

well i have been listening to the cds for a couple weeks now. and i keep hearing the phrase "received an unexpected cheque" when i listen and there is a lot of buzz about it on the message boards. i really wanted a cheque! i've been really good, thinking good thoughts, being happy and joyful. now let's talk money.

payday is in 4 days. i have been thinking abundance, focusing on wealth as much as i can, and yet in the back of my mind the statements my husband makes keep popping up. "we only have xxx in the account!" "we need to spend less money!" yadda yadda yadda. today, again, i get an email from him "we only have xxx left, let's don't spend any money until payday." well, xxx is more than enough to get us through 4 days, but i was still struck by the initial confrontation of it. darn you, brain! yes, i know this is constricting my flow.

so i collected myself. and i focused on being happy. i took the tip from Rhonda and wrote "i am receiving £6000 pounds" so that i would stop *feeling* less than joyful about the 6 monthly water bill my husband scheduled for next month instead of paying monthly. (seriously, what was he thinking? i'm the one with an accounting degree, why did i let him take charge of the finances! ugh!). i had to write it several times, and i had to sit and focus on feeling good for quite some time. then i got in the car and drove home, again with The Secret playing as i drove. i thought "i would really love to have an unexpected cheque today for £200." that was believable. i imagined what it would be like to receive an unexpected cheque, and then was thankful for it. i expected it. it was going to be there, and i was really happy about it.

when i got home, everyone was out. i looked on the computer desk. nothing addressed to me. i looked on the stereo cupboard, nothing for me. i went in the kitchen and there was a letter addressed to me on the counter. i thought i recognized the handwriting, but hey, it could be anything! this could be it! i opened the envelope. enclosed was a cheque for £93!!! "holy crap," i said, more than once - possibly 3 times. i looked around. i just asked for, and got, an unexpected cheque in the post! i danced a little dance! then i realized the neighbours *could* have seen me and might think me crazy. then i realized i don't care! woo hooooooooo!

i want another one!!!!!

seriously, that was awesome. the words of Lisa Nichols, on The Secret cd are ringing in my ears, "do yourself a favour, expect a cheque!"
