Intersting post John. Yeah, I'm very familiar with magical thinking.... I went through a period of several years where all I did was try to debunk (at least in my own mind) stuff like this, spent most of my time at atheist websites debating religious people, read books by Sagan, got into James Randi, Penn & Teller, Skeptic magazine, the infidel guy, dawkins, etc..... this was my reality for years.
So it's not like I just fell off the turnip truck. I'm very familiar with the mindset the skeptics have, because I was one. And I still am in many ways. You don't end up at a website like this without being fascinated by all sorts of different viewpoints about life, I'm sure you'd agree.
But I've experienced things in my life, that just can't be coincidence, so that's where I am. And there's stories like mine (and I've had more substantial things happen as well that I've talked about, I've been here awhile now) and all over this site there are amazing stories. It's much more than bullet points. I just thought it would be fun to share that little admittedly cheesy story, just for the hell of it.
Either LOA is real or it ain't I guess.
@ALG-- I do write them down. Sometimes I don't though because the more I do the more they happen and I'm still getting comfortable with it.
