Daily Notes
Early this morning, while in bed and drifting back to sleep, I listened to the YouTube video: The Science Of Manifestation: The Neuroscientist And The Skeptic | Dr. James R. Doty. He doesn’t believe that all the stuff talked about in “The Secret” is supported by science, so it’s interesting to get his take on it. Having said that, a lot of people HAVE put out manifesting thoughts, and had them answered, so I need to investigate further.
I went to Fountain Tire this morning to have “all weather” tires installed on the van. I watched some of the movie “The Graduate” on my Amazon Fire Tablet courtesy of their wifi.
On the walk back to the “Barn Suite” this afternoon, guess what I found? The original hook that my son lost when we were trying out our casting (see photo to the right). He was so upset about losing it, but I told him that all is well, we will probably lose a lot more in the lake after our first fishing trip…and I was right.
I tried to order a DELL PC this evening, but the credit card would not go through. My wife got a fraud alert. She called the CC company and DELL is going to try to submit the order again in 12 hours…
I must say, that since I have not been doing my “Law of Attraction” daily exercises, no manifestations have come my way. I used to get a coin here and there, but lately, nothing… Just wanted to make a note of it for now… Still no sign of the “Rainbow”, “Toonie”, “Starbucks Gift Card, or especially the $21,000 Blackjack “Scratch & Win” ticket that I wrote in my scripting letter…
I asked Copilot to help me come up with a curriculum to teach the “Law of Attraction” to kids. Here’s what it told me:
