Proof that we get whatever we want

This is actually true for everyone, lest you think I'm being hoity toity about this. Most people just choose to live in "reaction" instead of "creation" and don't realize that the things they are thinking and then the actions they are taking are making their thoughts turn into things.

So, here's my proof. I'll start with this house and then go from there. I'm sitting in my livingroom. We needed some furniture when we moved into this house because the townhouse was itty bitty (proof that you can make it with MUCH less). I knew what I wanted. I wanted blue. Craigslist. There it was, a whole set. For $25. Which tells you what kind of condition it was in. And I also realize that many, many people turn their noses up at buying other people's furniture. EWWWW it has their STUFF all over it. But when you have 4 kids, you don't buy new shit that you'll be mad about when it gets pooped on, puked on, spilled on. You get? So I put my hard work and love into cleaning them and I love them. They recline. I think most of you have reclined in them. LOVE THEM. Got rid of the couch part of it, too big. I see our barstools, which we took from Rick and Tina when they got rid of theirs. My kitchen floor was $100 on craigslist, and it's gorgeous. The paint was $13. In the other room, the breakfast nook was the most expensive thing we've bought for the house in over a decade. My daddy built my shoe box and gave me the jacket tree as a gift. The couch in there was free from craigslist. Again, my scrubbing powers cleaned it up nicely. The entertainment center came from Suzanne, the pack and plays from my moms, lamps from Tina. Let's visit Julia's room. Her bed came from Sarah (old neighbor), her dresser from Tina. Jordan's room? Beds from Aunt Helen, dresser from Randy. Our room? OUr bedroom set is the only other thing we've ever spent money on and that was before we were married. CJ and Josh's room downstairs? Their bunk bed came from Thomas (old neighbor), desk from Kimmy, dresser from Randy. Ginormus TV down there? From Gavin. Oh, I guess we bought this flat screen up here. TV in the garage is from Kimmy. Outside, my kids each have 3 bikes or more- from everyone. Swingset from the neighbor.

Does that disgust you? Are you thinking to yourself how you could NEVER do that? That's okay if you are. We have always gotten exactly what we needed, and we have more money to spend on other things. I wish for it, and it appears like magic. I'm not entirely sure that I'd ever want to have lots of expensive things anymore. I don't have any emotional attachment to any of our stuff, except that I'm grateful it showed up.

At our 2nd house in Farmington, we needed more furniture for the basement. I made the request out loud. "We need some furniture for downstairs, please." The very next day Kim called to say that someone she worked with just bought new furniture and needed to get rid of her old stuff. For free. Bam. Got it.

It works for my dad too, remember? He carried that picture of that one tire with him for EVER. A tire for...something. It was a weird tired, weird lugnut holes or something. So unusual that he carried the pic around, for months. He went out to the shed of our first house, and lo and behold, there was the very tire he was looking for. Magic!
There's magic EVERYWHERE. All the time!
It never ends. Engage the magic.

This is how I know that my perfect RV, with bunk beds and a queen bed is going to show up for me.
