I really believe in the law of attraction but I believe it is there to teach you along the way and you have to learn the lessons before you move on. I've had too many instances of it working but if I try too hard it doesn't.

The first time I was in a violent relationship, I remember walking home from work and out of misery actually visualising that I wanted out of the relationship, to meet a kind, caring and clever (that one was specific) man, I wanted 1 girl and 1 boy, the white picket fence outside my house. It all sounds very general but I received all of that including the most kind, caring, incredibly clever and funny husband!! I went through a lot to get it all and there were lessons along the way but looking back now I realise it was working even the white picket fence!

However, I didn't really attribute the above to LOA so I made a message board on my phone about 1 year ago. It was very specific - my son was being bullied at school and he had problems with writing and I wanted him especially to find contentment and happiness, I wanted to be near the sea (again not very specific thinking along the lines of a holiday!!), extra money coming in but not winning the lottery. However, I put it down as goals not necessarily again putting it down to the LOA. I put pictures of all of this on my phone and would look at it all maybe once or twice a month. About 5 months later, I remember saying to my colleague - 'I am so happy, I could live my life like this for years' and I felt so grateful for the life I was leading anyway. Then out of the blue my husband phoned saying he'd been offered a job abroad (he hadn't even been looking!!), it was more money and by the sea. My son is especially happy at his new school and is being helped with his writing by a specialist and he is incredibly happy and contented. There is no more bullying for him!!

Now it has had the opposite effect on me! I am too scared for the moment to ask because I just don't know where LOA will take us next and I am just incredibly grateful for the life and family I have. I've always said to my mum things happen for a reason and now she always repeats it back to me!! I'm sure people will think I sound like a crackpot but I truly know what I believe in but you have to be very careful what you want because it could be a roller coaster of a ride getting there!!
