Sometimes a ‘wrong’ turn can take you in the right direction

[StacyT]

The other day my family and I were out hiking by a pond. For some reason, I really wanted to see a turtle, so I looked all throughout the water very carefully. I saw frogs and fish and beautiful dragonflies, but no turtle.

Then, as we were walking back to the car, my husband said that he wanted to go pick up some bird food. A few minutes later we were in the store looking at random things (because that is what we do!), and my 6-year-old daughter and I broke off (from my husband and other daughter) to go find the bird food.

We went to the garden center and I went down the isle that I thought was bird food, but turned out to be grass seed. All of a sudden, my daughter says, “Mommy! There’s your turtle!”

She’s pointing at the fire exit, and there on the door is a sticker of an animated turtle, looking right at me and sticking his thumb up.

I know it’s a little insignificant, but just wanted to share. I think it taught me 3 things:

1) Sometimes we need other people to help us along the way
2) I need to work more on getting my manifestations more exact…
3) Sometimes a ‘wrong’ turn can take you in the right direction!

Haha I like that story.
It's cute, but it definitely is a lesson learner..
I feel like that's something most people struggle with when being specific.
If you seek to see a red apple, you might find it on a pop up ad...it's strange how it all works!

Something that you should be aware of as well as being specific is understanding the separation between a synchronicity and the actual manifestation itself.

In this case that could well have been an alpha synch to say "yes, ok, so is this what you what? Then its on its way". As you read this as the actual manifestation you stopped the intention and so that was the end.

Of course this may not have been the case, but be aware of the separation.

Something similar happened to me, although I put some more meaning into all this.

A while ago, I "fell in love" with a car, the Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione. It weighs in at around 300k Euro (should be roughly 400-450k USD), but the price notwithstanding, I simply love the design. I've found myself watching the promotional video over and over.

Weeks later, one of our regular malls had a model of this car in their flyer (coincidence or synchronicity?), and I asked my wife to buy it for me.

Now this model sits on my desk, just beyond my keyboard, as a kind of symbol for what I want and need to achieve in my life. To afford this car, not only do I have to be able to shell out some significant money, I also will have to have a somewhat largish income to pay for running expenses, repairs, etc.

I also will not buy this car first thing I get the cash, there are other things that would come first (like a house).

So, I like to picture myself sitting in this car, taking it for a spin on a racing course, knowing that on the day I really do call it my own, I will have solved most of the things troubling me today.
