9/23/2010 - Email Majik

I just realized that I needed to setup a conference call/meeting that I had dropped over a week ago.  The Email string was left in my hands as I told this vendor that I would get back to her with my availability for the 30th.  As I was reviewing my calendar for that day, out of the blue, I get an email asking again for my availability.  It was as if my action of looking into a meeting that I had not thought about in over a week sparked thought in the vendor with which I needed to coordinate the meeting to contact me.  Little things like this tell me I am walking my path to enlightenment properly!

9/10/2010 - Wishful Thinking

This previous weekend my son and I were in the backyard and he looked over to our push scooter and said "Daddy, I have an idea. We should get one of those scooters that you do not have to push.  You know, the kind with a motor that go by them selves."

I laughed and said "Yes son, we should check into that" and put no more thought into it.

This afternoon I was going out to lunch with a friend when he asked me if I could take some LP's our of his trunk to the post office on the way to eat.  I said sure and backed my car up so his.  We got out of the car and before he opened the trunk he said "Hey, would you be interested in a scooter?"

"No, we already have one" I told him.

"This is one with a motor that you do not have to push." and I just stopped short and smiled.

I had not told my friend anything about what my son had hoped for and amazingly he arrives with the exact thing!  I accepted the gift from my firend (and the Universe!) and took it home for my son.  He and my wife both were amazed and enjoy the scooter!

9/9/2010 - Football

I was in a meeting today when I looked across the table, about ten feet from me, and saw a co-worker. I had not yet spoken to him in the meeting and was thinking that I should talk to him about the new NFL season; we are both Steelers fans. The second our eyes made contact, I immediately smiled at him and mouthed "Football!" to him.

The amazing thing is that he mouthed the exact same words back at me as if I was looking in a mirror. It was almost as if me thinking about talking football with him connected us in a way that we spoke the exact same word at the exact same time.

Kind of cool!

9/2/2010 - Car Trouble

I was driving home from work today and was nearly pushed out of my lane by an agressive driver. This man was weaving back and forth through traffic generally being unsafe. I pulled up to a red light in which there was a long line of cars. I had to turn left and got to the front of the main line when I noticed that the man was back several cars in the line going straight. I thought to myself, "it would be really deserving if the car in front of him stalled out and forced him to be stuck in that line for just a while. Maybe it would teach him a lesson in patience."

While I was waiting for the left arrow to turn green, the main light did change. I looked in my rearview mirror and watched as each car ahead of him started to move. I then noticed something amazing...his car was not moving an inch. It turns out that his vehicle was the one that had stalled. I continued to watch as cars honked and flashed their lights at him while he slowly moved down the road.

It is so amazing how my thoughts seem to manipulate my surroundings!
