Here’s a delightful story I received from one of our Million Dollar Experiment participants, Jennifer Jarvi.  This is a great example of how a tapestry of synchronicities can weave itself together once you begin holding a clear intention.  I asked her if I could share her story here, and she said to go right ahead.  Here it is:

I have to tell you my Million Dollar Experiment experience.  It just blows my mind!

I read about it on 11/3, and decided to hold the intent and participate privately.  I also decided after months of not finding a car I liked, I would try the same thing with bringing the perfect car into my life.

On 11/4 I decided, what the heck, and signed up publicly.

On 11/5, out of the blue, I walked into a yarn store (I’m a knitter) and found out they were going out of business and everything was $1 a skein.  This is well below wholesale prices, absolutely unbelievable.  So I bought a large portion of inventory and stocked my new business venture, thinking this was absolutely too much of a coincidence to not be connected.  I had been selling jewelry on eBay without much luck.  I have started selling yarn and the bids are pouring in!  This has worked out so perfectly!

As for the car, things weren’t progressing as fast – until last Friday when I saw a car on a lot that fit all my requirements.  Every last one!  Today I test drove it and came home to run a title check on it.  When I saw that the dealer had acquired the car on 11/3 – the very day I started holding both intentions – I took it at as a sign and went and bought it.  It’s now in my driveway, ending a long dilemma I had about finding the perfect car.

So I sat here thinking of a name for my car, and I thought maybe to name it after some yarn.  Everything sounded too cutesy.  So to honor this experiment, I decided to name it the Japanese word for intention.  (I’m learning Japanese and the car is a Japanese make.)  I looked it up: “ito” – sounded cool.  I looked it up in Japanese then, to reverse-check the translation – “ito” means both intention… and yarn.  (They’re pronounced different for each meaning, but the spelling is the same.)

Not just a coincidence.  I don’t believe in them anymore!

Thanks for letting me share my story.  What a wild ride this two weeks has been.  Can’t wait to find out what else is in store!

Congrats, Jennifer!
