― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden
I’ve been thinking of the “power of positive thinking.” I know, I know. Yes, it’s kind of corny and cliché. But, it actually works. Every time I want something, and I visualize finding it or getting it in some way–it usually comes to fruition in some form. Sometimes it is something minor, sometimes in something life altering. Of course, it’s never exact, but when in life is anything completely like you want it?
Last week I went thrifting as usual. When it comes to thrifting, you never know what you are going to find. Sometimes you win the jack pot, other times you walk out empty handed. For months I have wanted to find a pair of bow style vintage Ferragmos in my size. I never thought it would happen, but bam what is sitting there all pretty waiting for me: the above pair of lovely brown bow style Ferragamos! A few days later, I’m thrifting again at a different thrift store and bam, again I find THREE pairs of bow Ferragamos.
Crazy, isn’t it?! I’ve found that this continues to happen to me in different forms throughout my life. So, there has to be something to be said about the “power of positive thinking” and putting your wants and desires out there into the world. Maybe one day that special something will come into your life, and probably when you least expect it!
