Law of Attraction, Bojangles, and a burned out headlight

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

For a couple of years I’ve been contemplating getting a feeder calf or two. Problem is lack of pasture. I’m already feeding the horses hay year around which is a budget buster. Ideally organic, grass-fed beef is the way to go.

Last week I attended an auction planning to pick up a couple of goats to help keep my fence rows clean. There were no goats, but there were four young calves. (I’ve been to this particular auction a number of times and never seen calves.) Intrigued I thought if they went for less than $50 I should get one. But these were very young and looked to be Jerseys. Jerseys are great for milk production but are they good beef cattle? What does one feed such a young calf? By the time we got home it would be far too late to shop. While I was contemplating all of this, all four sold for bargain prices.

Then I began thinking that perhaps I could talk to the seller to see if he had any more available. If yes, I could pick one or two up at my leisure and be prepared for their arrival. My daughter, who was with me, went over to the holding area to look for the farmer. A short time later she returned and told me that one of the buyers had changed his mind and would be happy to sell his calf, which turned out to be the best of the four and not a Jersey.

That’s the short version of how I ended up with a Texas Longhorn calf in the back of my XUV. Thankfully he fit, but boosting him up there was a challenge.

I marveled at how Law of Attraction (LOA), had delivered what I wanted at a great price and the right time of year. But LOA had still more to deliver that night. On the way home I realized that one of my headlights was out, a good way to attract a ticket. So I set my intention to be invisible to police and expected the best.

Up ahead on the road was a mandatory sobriety checkpoint. Lots of police. I repeated my intention and pulled up. After answering the basic questions and explaining that we were heading home from an auction with a calf in the back, we were sent on our way without even a mention of the headlight!!

We arrived home safely and tucked the little guy in with some warmed milk. He’s temporarily residing in the play yard with Saphyre, our standard poodle. Which brings me to yet one more aspect of LOA.

The little guy, dubbed Bojangles, is getting plenty of exercise because Saphyre insists on rousing and herding him several times a day. They’ve become fast friends and thanks to Bojangles, Saphyre is significantly less hyperactive. That amazing Universe takes care of even the smallest details.

Law of Attraction: I found my perfect dog!

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

When I began my search for the perfect dog, the criteria was: adult standard poodle. To be honest my preference was a silver female who was the reincarnation of my beloved dog, Joshua. Although I was counting on Law of Attraction to provide my perfect dog, part of me was afraid to be too specific. Oh ye of little faith…

After looking at a lot of dogs and putting out feelers far and wide, I was lead to a breeder in New Hampshire, Crabapple Downs. There were five yearlings available that seemed to fit my needs. Upon communicating with each of the five, there was one blue male who sounded, personality wise, like a good choice, even though he was the wrong color and sex. (The others had their own unique personalities and I was really looking forward to seeing whether they presented in person the same as they did telepathically.)

We selected a date and planned our trip to meet the candidates. Unbeknownst to us, that same weekend a huge ice storm had hit the area knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of people. The roads were less than ideal and our trip was at times harrowing, but we finally reached our destination hours later than expected. By then it was too late to meet the dogs so we settled in for the night in one of the rental apartments on the farm. It was a very cozy place complete with dog beds.

The next morning we went down to the kennel to meet the dogs. The five boisterous candidates were brought in and we spent some time just being with them to see if there was a connection. After a short time the one that stood out was in fact the blue male from my communication. He was very nice and we would have settled for him, but he wasn’t perfect.

Apparently sensing this, Arlene, the breeder, brought several litters of various ages in to meet us. There were so many different colors and personalities that we weren’t sure we’d be able to choose just one. Finally one of the puppies gave me the sign I had been waiting for. (The night before I had requested that my perfect dog would behave in a certain way so I’d know “the one.”) It was a silver female and her energy felt a lot like Joshua’s! She clearly chose us as well. At five months she wasn’t quite the adult I had requested, but that was a compromise we decided to make all other things considered.

After a bath and grooming we loaded up and were on our way home with our new poodle girl. She settled right in like a seasoned traveler. Arlene had warned that she might go through some separation anxiety but she seemed delighted to suddenly be the only dog and we never had those issues.

The first night she slept beside me with her head on my shoulder. That girl can really stretch out! It took about a week to settle on the perfect name for our perfect dog: Saphyre Michaela. She’s a gem and it suits her. Oh, and to make it even more perfect, she’s the niece of the dog I met who healed me whom I previously blogged about.

Using Law of Attraction it was just six weeks from the time I broadcast my request to the universe until I found my perfect dog.

The Story of the Well

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

It was a very dry year. No rain for two months. One day I turned on the hose to fill the horse’s water tank and, after a short time, the water stopped. With a sinking feeling I knew that probably meant our well had gone dry.

I took a walk into the woods to check on the well house, a small building sitting at the juncture of several springs. All the springs leading to the house were dry. I checked the extended weather  report: chance of rain on Saturday. It was now Monday. We had bottled water for drinking, but I would have to haul water from a neighbor for the horses. Could we take a chance and wait for rain hoping it would be enough to replenish our water supply?

After considering my options overnight I awoke Tuesday morning with the conviction that it was time to have a well drilled. Last year we had problems when the water level got too low, now we were totally out of water with no guarantee about when we might get enough precipitation to restore running water.

Here is where the story takes an interesting turn. I have been practicing Law of Attraction for more than a year. After all this time it has become pretty ingrained. Rather than panic about our immediate crisis, I was able to remain calm and trust that the universe would work things out just right. (A huge step forward as last year when we had well problems I was a nervous wreck. We ended up being without water for nearly two weeks and there was no way I wanted to go through that again.)

I recalled a conversation with a neighbor about wells some months earlier. He had mentioned a company that did great work. It could not just be coincidence that I had had this conversation and was then able to call and get that company’s name. (Funny, my neighbor didn’t remember at all and really had to scratch his head to come up with the name, Ziegler’s Well Drilling of Newfoundland.)

Next I placed a call to Ziegler’s. I spoke with Terry who said he could stop by in 10 minutes or so. No arguments here!! After a brief conversation and a ball-park estimate, we struck a deal and he said he’d send a crew to begin drilling that afternoon. He would also arrange for an electrician and backhoe. When Law of Attraction kicks in it really kicks in! By 1 pm a big rig pulled in and went to work.

The noise from the driller was no fun at all, but after four hours they hit a good, solid, vein of water, 225 feet, all but 50 was bedrock. That made the drilling more challenging, but saved us a lot of money as they didn’t need to run pipe through the rock portion. Things were moving along with remarkable efficiency.

The next morning, Wednesday, the backhoe arrived and created a trench to run the piping. Shortly after came the electrician. He had originally thought we’d need a new circuit panel as we were maxed out, but incredibly, he found there were some wires no longer in use and he was able to complete the work for $90 instead of the $650 estimated. (As a bonus he discovered live wires that could have killed someone and removed them.) The bill for the backhoe was also substantially lower than estimated. As I said earlier, when it kicks in, Law of Attraction doesn’t mess around!

By 11 am Wednesday I had running water in the house. I had only needed to haul two loads of 40 gallons each to keep the horse tank filled. (Huge thanks to our generous neighbors who shared their water during the drought.) Today I filled the tank from our brand new well!!!

The final bill for everything was less than the lower estimated range for just the well. We now have better water pressure, colder water,  a supply that should serve us through future droughts, and it’s pure. The water test came back with the comment that it’s so pure it even smells like water!

As these events were unfolding I just had to marvel at the incredible efficiency of Law of Attraction. It was a night and day difference from when I fussed and stressed over no water last year versus remaining calm and allowing the pieces to come together this year. As each bill came in less than expected I was reminded over and over again just how powerful these principles are. “What we resist persists.”
