Manifestations

So.. Today I brag.
Today I give thanks to the Universe for the giving me the answers to my very specific prayers.
I have been a Law of Attraction teacher and student for several years. One of my favorite "games" to play, is to set your sights low and ask for easy things, paying attention every time to the little manifestations along the way.
As a background, a few years ago, I was working hard on the Law of Attraction, clearing my energy, focusing my vibrations through positive thought, when one day, I couldn't find a hair elastic for the life of me! Now, trust me when I say that I couldn't believe that I couldn't find one little hair elastic.. I knew I had lots of them, but they weren't in their usual spots! I could feel my energy boiling, as the stress of the search turned me from nook to cranny with no results. (you know the feeling, when you are fishing for something small... the stressful feeling that comes naturally?) Suddenly, I stopped, and practiced what I preached. I stood up, took a deep breath, and decided clearly that I would find just one hair elastic now, but I actively decided to manifest more hair elastics. I knew at the time it was a silly thing to actively ask for, and I also knew that somewhere in my house there were plenty of them. But I was all up into my Law of Attraction is Magic thing, and decided then and there to manifest hair elastics. Well, I did find one elastic right away, and during the next few days.. I stumbled here and there upon hair elastics.
Fast forward about a week, and I was looking for a pair of tweezers. I began my fruitless search for tweezers by reaching into a make up bag. I found about 10 hair elastics. (no tweezers). I smiled. I went to the next place I might have put the tweezers... more hair elastics. (Just to describe where I was looking, I have these containers with lots of little organizational pockets. In almost every one of them.. I found hair elastics. It was no longer about the tweezers, as I gleefully found stash after stash of hair elastics. Including an unopened package of them. I must have found a hundred elastics (but no tweezers, lol), and it felt like a cartoon where the elastics were seriously jumping out at me.
I stopped and marveled at my manifestation. I opened my overnight cosmetic bag and stopped myself as I joyfully reached through several loose dollar bills and reached for a few prize hair elastics. Suddenly, I realized that if I could do this with hair elastics, why couldn't I do this with money. Instantly, my focus shifted to the loose bills I hadn't even noticed a minute before. Boom, about $7 bucks. I went into my bedroom and looked in a junk drawer for my final attempt at tweezers, and I found more hair elastics, and a roll of $150 cash. (I work in the restaurant business, and just found some tips I had forgotten about) I also found 3 gift cards, and an uncashed check. Irresponsible? Maybe. But I was STUNNED how quickly, and how animatedly I had attracted those things.
Are you still reading? lol.
So, Long story long.. This spurred me to get more focused on the things I wanted to attract in my life. I wanted extensive travel for example.. and boy, oh boy, have I been the recipient of incredible travel. I have been so blessed by the many places I have visited, and I am scheduled to travel again in the next few weeks for a trip of a lifetime with my family.
Picture the energy around you like a big thick foggy pea soup. You inhale energy as it passes by you, the vibrations, like internet emails, flowing in and out of your unconsciousness.
What do you think as you inhale? as you exhale? What energy are you emitting into this thick pea soup of energy that we all connect to? What energy are you absorbing?
