My primary source of income has been dreadfully slow the past few months. October 2008 was the worst month on record in well over 15 years. People are scared. I try to avoid fear, and continue to have faith. When I live with purpose and in present moment awareness it’s pretty easy to transcend fear.
When I am able to do all that, I am able to see the magic in life.
Yesterday I sold a car to a young gay couple. Not that it really matters, except when I refer to “her” twice, it might confuse the reader.
The car deal actually started three days ago. They both came in on Thursday. Their intention was to trade in a car they currently owed money on, into something much cheaper. In the end they traded their car, and ended up owning our car for very little out of pocket.
Yesterday I went to Subaru training in Seattle. We sat in the Fox Sports Lounge at Quest Field and compared cars. Although I didn’t know it, my son was on a field trip to the Seattle Auto Show, and was in the same building, less than 500 yards from me. I ended up seeing him. It was pretty neat. I was able to give him some goodies I got from Subaru.
We ended up back at the dealership at about 3:30. Keith dropped me on the street and I was just going to go home. I got the intuition to do the opposite so I walked inside. I walked in the sales office, and there sat one of the girls, check in hand, after a “thumbs up” from her mechanic was given to her. If I would have been 5 minutes later that deal would have been turned to another salesperson to complete the process, and that would have cost me money.
Today I got up, not really wanting to go stand around a car lot all day. The morning was difficult. At about 3:30 the other girl showed up to sign paperwork. I grabbed her license to make a copy and was amazed when I saw her birthday was 1-13. That is my daughter’s birthday.
I should also note during the course of the process, I learned on of their professions was a counselor specializing in domestic violence.
At about 6:15 PM I was standing outside, letting the raindrops hit my face. I was meditating, asking God to give me some “purpose” on the car lot. I walked back inside, stood a few moments and then joined a few of my peers in the alcove on the other side of the building.
I wasn’t out there more than a minute when two ladies pulled up in a Honda Civic, asking when we closed. Told them we closed at 7:00 and told them to “pull on in.” We hit it off pretty quick. I learned they were sisters. I learned that one was “kind of” looking, while helping her sister find a car.
I showed them a TDI Jetta and they drove it. I showed them a Subaru Legacy, and one of them fell in love with it. On the test drive of the Subaru, I glanced down at the digital clock and it read 1:11. Immediately I knew this “chance” encounter was not by chance at all. She indicated she couldn’t make a decision tonight because she had to sort out some financial stuff and talk to her husband. She agreed to keep the car overnight, then I realized my current store policy on letting customers do that had changed.
They sat down at my desk, and one of them pointed out my “Angel Numbers” book and crossed referenced “The Secret” to the book. I told them about my experiences with the Law of Attraction, Angels, Synchronicity, etc.
Somewhere during the conversation I was compelled to ask them their birthdays. One was 10-21, and the other’s was 9-2. I had to stop for a minute and them realized 9-2 was Shanna’s birthday. I told her, and then I pointed out that I don’t believe in coincidence anymore.
In one day I dealt with two female customers, both with the same birthdays as my daughter and partner. WoW!
I ran out to my car and grabbed three books that I had in my back pack. She picked up The New Revelations, By Neale Donald Walsch, a very warm, kind, caring, enlightened human being. He is also the author of all the Conversations With God series. I told her she could take it home and read it and return it when she is done.
It amazed me as I watched her and her sister’s reactions as they were reading. There heads were moving up and down in a yes motion, as if everything they were reading completely resonated within them. Even more powerful were the smiles on their faces.
I penciled out some figures on the car, set an appointment for tomorrow noon with her husband and bid them farewell. With any luck I will sell them a car and make a few friends tomorrow.
Before they leave, whether they buy a car or not, I will give them a hard copy of this and another piece I am working on, because that was the core purpose of our meeting, I believe
All in all, once I decided to surrender and ask for it, the universe in all its wisdom provided me a pretty magical day.
Go Well!!
Namaste
