One of the ways I would like to start generating some income is by breeding a few more mares each year. I have been feeling high on the LOA for the past few weeks, so I went online and found two mares that sounded perfect for what I needed for sale from the same owner as a sort of package deal. They were priced to sell, the right size, the right breeding, from what the owner told me they sounded like the right temperament...everything. I also felt like it was a sign when the girl who moved her horse to my barn on the first of February turned out to have boarded at the barn where these mares were coming from. She said they were cute horses and I got excited. Two weeks ago I didn't have the money in my checking account to get them, but I told myself I was turning it over to the universe. Well, the money didn't come through, so I decided to let the opportunity go by. I had gotten the impression that the owner was willing to take payments or work the deal however I wanted to, but I had lost enthusiasm and just told her I wasn't interested any more. I was a little disappointed though, because I felt like I must have done something wrong in my manifesting.

Well, I was talking to the girl who moved to my barn last night and she asked me if I had gone to look at the mares yet. I told her that, no, I hadn't and I probably wasn't going to because it just hadn't worked out for me right now. She then casually said, "Oh, well, I was going to tell you something I remembered after I talked to you, but I guess now it isn't important. One of those mares had a joint problem that the vet said was congenital. The joint fused so it doesn't bother her any more, but for awhile she was lame." The thing is, you never want to breed a problem like that. Without a really thorough and expensive veterinary exam, it wouldn't have shown up and I most likely would NOT have had the exam done if I had come up with the money to buy the mares. Also, a joint problem like the one she described will fuse so that the horse is comfortable living a normal, no extra activity life, but it wouldn't be able to stay sound for riding. All in all, NOT having that wish come true REALLY saved my butt. So, is that the LOA taking care of me in a backwards kind of way or what?? In trying to remember how I phrased my wants, I am thinking I might have included something like, "I am turning this over to you to handle in the best way you see fit." I usually tack on something like that when I can't see a way to make something work. Last night I didn't think a whole lot of it, but this morning I woke up thinking, "Hey, maybe that WAS the Universe handling it in the best way by NOT giving me the funds to buy those horses."

I don't want to over analyze things, but this just struck me as being provident.
