Camera Found!!! The Right Vibration...
so i had a friend visiting from out of town this weekend and we wend out to eat on sunday and guess what i did? i left my $700 camera in the ladies room!
aaaahhhh!
i didn't realize this until yesterday (tuesday) so immediately called, trying to stay calm and visualizing the person on the other end reporting it was safe and sound in their possession. well that didn't happen. she looked but no luck and i was stunned.
i mean, this camera is part of my vision for my life. this is a way that i've decided i want to express myself and i've invested a lot of time and money into this new hobby. and for a moment i felt it slipping out of my grip - it was becoming inaccessible. i was mad. how could i have done this? i'm not that irresponsible!
and so i gave myself permission to be mad, just for a few minutes. then i made myself pull it together. i let it go. maybe this was an opportunity for the universe to send me a better camera! maybe someone who i was "supposed to meet" would find it and return it to me. maybe it's time to put photography on hold and focus on some other things. i didn't know why i had lost it but i was open to the possibility that everything would be ok. i decided in that moment that i would attract a camera, mine or a new one.
my first thought was craigslist's lost and found so i wrote and posted an ad this morning and hoped that the person who found it would be searching for me too.
and then, it occured to me to try the restaurant one more time - but this time, speak to a manager. so i did. and sure enough! OMG!!! can you imagine the relief and excitement i felt when he returned to the phone saying "yup, i've got it right here in my office!"?
dude, i think i almost fainted.
so i told him i'd pick it up this evening and began walking back to my desk and just could not contain my excitement. i mean, i was almost skipping. i had this ridiculous and huge smile across my face, my heart was racing, i wanted to yell "YES!!" but i did manage to hold that one in, lol.
observing myself, i thought, "yes, this is the vibration i would love to be in ALL the time...how can i keep this?"
so i will always save that moment and come back to it when i need a pick-me-up. even now, i can't stop smiling just thinking about it.
so today i'm grateful for my camera, a simple possession but tool in creating the MY life, the life of my dreams. i will not let it go that easily.

- thanks ladies! i went last night and picked it up - almost kissed it i was so happy - lol. and as a result i got to have a fabulous dinner with my mom and aunt, who are so high on Eckhart Tolle right now so you know it was a wonderful conversation. and i'm realizing more and more how much power i have over my emotions, it's really awsome.

Comment by Clarissa Kelly on March 5, 2008 at 8:49pm - Wonderful!!! I'm so happy for you, and it shows that we can choose to feel however we want in a situation. Rather than feeling awful you kept yourself up and the outcome was great. I think that often people imagine a bad outcome, feel awful, then things aren't as bad as they'd imagined anyway and they've wasted that energy for nothing. I lost my sunglasses recently and I really like them so i felt awful. My husband went back to the grocery store and they were there! So I totally understand how you feel! :=)

I'm so happy that you allowed yourself to kick your own butt for a hot second and then release it. I'm glad you were able to flip that energy and welcome your camera back into your life. I'm extra happy to see you back here. xoxoxo

Merry Christmas to you too, David!
It's funny what one can manifest, especially considering those items run for more money online... and yet, you manifested your essences and preferences. Well deserved, dear friend.
I find it funny how I've been t…
