A Day Of Abundance Or Coincidence?

Something happened to my this last Wednesday that, no doubt, you will probably just put down to coincidence.

Knowing how the Law of Attraction and an abundance mindset works, I look upon it a little differently!

There I was, on my daily one mile walk to school with my 10-year-old, Katie.

About halfway through the walk, I spotted a 2 pence coin in the middle of the road as we crossed it.

After checking that I wouldn't get run over, I picked it up, and gave it to a smiling Katie.

Now, I never used to pick up pennies if I saw them, though my wife, Lesley always did.

In fact - it's part of my wealth and abundance mentality I share in my Our Wealth Partnership Newsletter

Part of having an abundance mindset, you see.

Anyway...

About 5 steps later, on the path in front of us...there was a penny.

So...we picked it up, and in it went into Katie's pocket.

About 10 steps later, we found ANOTHER penny!

By now, Katie was jumping up and down with excitement (don't you just love the way kids just enjoy the moment for what it is, without any embarrassment?).

Three coins and 4p in the space of a matter of seconds.

It beat my previous record of two coins on one journey!

It certainly gave us both something to talk about (I like to try and give her little mindset nudges as we walk)...and it certainly beat the regular-as-clockwork...

"I spy with my little eye, something beginning with 'C'"
"Car"
"Yes"

...routine that we do most days - which usually involves 90% of the SAME eye-spies!

So...there we were, walking into the school playground, when there - staring up at me...was ANOTHER penny!

Katie was now jumping up and down, and couldn't wait to tell her grandad Dave (Lesley's dad) about it when she got home after school. (He prides himself on walking with his nose to the ground!)

Would you believe it - FOUR coins on one walk!

Katie now had 5p in her coat pocket and she ran off excitedly to tell her best friend about it.

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention...

We hadn't been consciously making the effort of LOOKING for coins on the floor all this time, even after we found the first couple.

I'm a firm believer that if you are trying to search for something - you'll stand a better chance of finding it if you do something completely different and focus on something else.

On the walk home, I didn't think much about all this until approximately the same spot where we found the first coin.

Just for fun...I said to myself...

"OK, let's see if this is a sign. I'll believe you if I find another coi...."

Before I could finish the word 'coin'...a brand-new shiny 2p was staring up at me! (the other coins had all been old and a little battered).

I didn't need much more persuading about the message behind it all.

When I got home and told Lesley - she couldn't believe it. Four coins in the space of ten minutes.

You may be thinking "You're were just lucky" or perhaps "So what - it's only 7p!"

I know a little differently!

So...the day goes by and I have to do something that I'll share with you at the end of this little story.

Come 2:45pm - it's off for the walk to pick Katie up from school.

3pm and she comes running out screeching 'Dad, dad...guess what I found!"

(Go on...you know what she's going to say!)

"Just as we were getting changed for P.E. - I found a 20p on the floor! I've now got 25p!"

You should have seen her face when I told her that I found another coin on the way home that morning!

Katie was jumping up and down, a huge smile on her face...she couldn't believe her luck.

On the walk home, we had to go and pick up my two-year-old, Skye from nursery.

And...as I wheeled her buggy out of the school something caught my eye on the floor.

Yes, you've guessed it...it was a brand-new shiny penny - just as sparkling as the 2p I had found earlier.

I knew then that those two shiny coins would be stuck on my 'dream board' (I'm looking at them now, in fact) as a reminder to me.

So...SEVEN coins...28p (about 50c) richer...I had a little chuckle to myself.

As Katie was excitedly telling her grandad Dave on the phone about her amazing coin-discovering day, I had a little chuckle to myself.

On the day that the Universe had sent us about 50c...I had paid the sterling equivalent of $130k in tax!

Don't you just love it when 'coincidences' like that happen.

Or was it just a sign of the abundance out there? :-)
