What You Give, You Shall Receive
There are at least two e-mails in my inbox each workday morning. And I look froward to both, I rarely leave for work without taking at least a quick glance at them. They are two inspirational messages, one from Neale Donald Walsch, the other from “The Universe”, a.k.a Mike Dooley. They always lift my spirit and most of the time they go straight right into my heart.
One morning in December I received a fundraising request from Neale Neale Donald Walsch. I though, what a great way to express my gratitude, and I proceeded to donate 25 dollars. When I hit send, I had this inner knowing that I will be repaid somehow. I did not realize how soon…
Later that day I took my Nissan Leaf to the dealer for the annual checkup. My electric car does not need any ongoing maintenance, but they recommend to take it in once a year to check the brakes, a few other things, and the performance of the battery. Total cost $18. I also wanted to get the state inspection done, unfortunately their computer system was down and asked me to come back another time for that.
As I am sitting in the waiting room, a gentleman approaches me and offers a coupon for preventative maintenance. He is in for major repairs, and will not be able to use the coupon, so he wants me to have it. I am not sure, that my checkup is qualified, but I take it with gratitude. When it is time to check out, the clerk is hesitant to take it, but calls to the back of the room for advice. Yes, she can use it! someone yells out. Ka-ching, ten dollars off!
A few days later I am back for the state inspection. When the car is ready, I go to the cashier, only to be informed that there is no charge, because they made me come back the second time. Ka-ching, thirteen dollars off!
OK, Universe, now you only owe me TWO DOLLARS!
