A few years I was getting frustrated with my old computer — it couldn’t take any more upgrades, and wouldn’t support Microsoft Word, which was the program most publishers accept submissions in. I went to the store that carried Macs to get a new computer and purchased the smallest notebook they had. While I was there I sat in front of the new iMac and played around. “Some day,” I thought, “You will be mine…” I really saw it, sitting on my desk, all sleek and white. A few months later, an Apple store opened up in Reno and I went there for the grand opening. They had forms for a raffle, so I filled one out, thinking, hey, someone’s gotta win, right? I figured it was for an iPod or something, and didn’t really give it much thought, but I did sit down in front of another iMac, and again I pictured this wonderful computer on my desk at home.

I bet you can guess what happened… I got a phone call a few weeks later saying that I had one the grand prize at the Apple store – A brand new iMac AND a new printer to go with it, AND a digital camera, AND a new Sony videocamera… and oh yeah, an iPod too! This was before I had seen “The Secret,” so needless to say, I am blown away to realize that I was doing the visualization. I just figured I got lucky for once, but now I realize that luck is what you make for yourself, with the help of the loving, abundant universe. Thank you so much for sharing The Secret with us.
