Law of attraction and Pistachios

"When you want something the whole universe conspires in helping you achieve it." ~ Paulo Coelho

I doubt there's someone out there who has never heard about the law of attraction. You might not agree or have completely understood what it meant, but I'm sure everyone has at least heard a version of it. The law of attraction, the main theme for the movies "The Secret" and "What the bleep do we know?," simply states that your thoughts and feelings have the power to attract whatever you want into your life. So if you have a positive and happy life, chances are you're going to attract more of the same to your life. And the opposite is true as well. 

I've always deeply believed in the law of attraction, and together with my pollyanna outlook on life, I must say I've always been very blessed and lucky and I believe that everything in my life came to prepare me for what comes next. Even during complicated moments (which weren't that many anyway) I knew I had to let it go because there was a reason that it was happening, but I had faith in what would be coming next. I believe this is one of the reasons I never get sick. Seriously, in 20 plus years of life I've never been to the hospital, I remember getting food poisoning twice and chicken pox once. And that was when I was a child. Haven't been sick (knock on wood!) ever, and the more I keep saying and feeling that I'm healthy, the more I believe I will always be healthy. Especially now when I'm learning new ways to nourish my body, my mind and my soul.  

I've always been pretty good at imagining and attracting what I wanted to my life. That's how I ended up in Vancouver, with a Canadian degree and a Canadian passport. I never thought that this wouldn't happen. In my mind, and my heart, I was already here. So I shouldn't be surprised when I start attracting little things to my life, right? Some people believe in coincidences.. I believe in synchronicities...

One day, a few weeks ago, I was grocery shopping and I saw Pistachios and although I really wanted to eat them, I was discouraged by the price so I thought I'd ask someone to give it to me just for fun. I didn't buy them at the time because I thought they weren't worth it. Then, a couple of weeks later, I was volunteering like I always do on Saturdays and one of the volunteers said she had something for me. On our break I went to the volunteer room and she gave me a bag of pistachios! Seriously! It wasn't Christmas or my birthday so at first I thought that it was a weird thing to do but I said thank you, and I enjoyed everyone of those salty treats! It was only when I went grocery shopping again that I remember my thoughts and I giggled to myself, recognizing the law of attraction in action. 

On another day, I was thinking about books that I wanted to read and that I had to buy at any time. But because my friends gave me so many books to read I didn't even think about it anymore. Then, coming home one day, I saw a pile of stuff (everyone donates stuff they don't want anymore on the lobby for my building) on the table and what was my surprise when I saw that 3 books I wanted to read had been donated. Needless to say, they became my books.. And the list goes on. There's the trasmission in thought of receiving a call/message/email from someone you haven't talked in a long time, but you had been thinking lately. This way, I even got a call from my ex wishing me a happy valentine's day. 

All I have to say is THANK YOU, Universe. Thank you for allowing me to be one with you, and thank you for matching my vibration. 

That's why I say, be careful with what you think, feel or say. Your thoughts, feelings and words have the power to reinvent your life.

May I attract love, peace, lightness and happiness.
