Recently, I arrived home between jobs with literally time enough to let out the dogs and then change clothes. I got the mail because I was expecting a check. I not only received that one but also another one for $3,850.00. There I was trying to stay calm, yet needing to take care of the dogs, etc. so I could leave for work. The letter that came with it stated that I had won $95,000.00!
I called a friend of mine, who was a lawyer, and left her a message. While I drove to work and awaited her call you might imagine what was going through my mind. What would be going through yours? The check was very real, drawn on a real bank. The child in me was believing it was possible.
In the Unity teachings of Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, we believe in receiving unexpected income. We have an affirmation statement that we use, “I’m expecting unexpected income,” which I had been using intermittently. I had also recently taken a Prosperity class at Unity of Greater Portland, ME. I believe that to have a prosperity consciousness that it takes ongoing maintenance such as: taking classes, using affirmations which are prayers, or reading a book on creating abundance in your life.
It is easy to get bogged down with all the messages from the outer world that are preaching doom and gloom for the economy. In fact, what if they decided to predict that everything was looking up? What could unfold from that might be fascinating to observe. At this particular point in my life, things are going great, with plenty of work for a prosperous financial flow. All the things I had pledged to do when I came into a large sum of money floated through my mind. I called my significant other who said, “I know you are floating but I’m going to stay practical right now.” I was thinking, am I floating, I guess I could be.
Another person said,”That really takes the pressure off doesn’t it? You could buy a house.” The vision of the log cabin I would like some day flashed into my mind. Meanwhile, it was back to work, trying to be present to the moment and focus. Finally my friend called back and I read her the letter. She said,”I think it’s a scam.” EEch, I really didn’t want to acknowledge that, as reality began creeping into the crevices between my thoughts.
Later on that evening, I showed it to a veteran prize winner. ”I’m sorry,” she said, “it’s a scam.” I hadn’t realized how much I was hoping it was real until that moment. Apparently, when you win money, you sign an affidavit before they send you a check. The little kid in me was bummed….
Forever believing in what’s possible, the next morning my little kid bounced back. So, I came close to knowing what it would be like to win a large sum of money. I can not only vision it, I can also feel it. I am more than halfway there. Oh, of course, one other thing, I need to enter a contest to be eligible for a win!
I would love it if you would share your experiences in the comments.
Thanks for reading,
