My mom helped a guy write a book & self-publish a few years ago. When I asked her how long it took him, I was surprised to hear it was only 35 days. Huh?! I took that as a challenge and decided to write mine in 34 days...which I did! Now I'm in publisher search-mode. If that doesn't work, I found an amazing place to self-publish! SO...I will have a book of penny stories by year's end. Can't wait!! Thanks to everyone for your comments, feedback and INSPIRATION!!! Love you all for it!

You know, the disaster that felt like the worst thing EVAH at the time?” Thanks for highlighting this again for me Carol! And J for writing it :) Love the dollar bill example, the ease with which is manifested. That`s the key to it all - asking and being unattached, asking and letting it go. You are inspiring me to loosen my grip on the drama of wondering whether my NZ visa will be approved so I am now rewording it as `wouldn`t it be so cool for NZ immigration to approve my visa asap and send me my passport by Nov 25 so I can go to NZ this year as already planned?` Here`s an Afformation thrown in for good measure `Why did my visa get approved so easily and quickly?` `Why do amazing things always happen to me?` `Why am I sitting on a plane to Queenstown on Dec 6th, 09?` and `Why am I so, so happy it all turned out so perfectly?` Thank YOU for being what makes this community, it wouldn`t be anything without you all and I am SO grateful for your presence.

Here`s an Afformation thrown in for good measure `Why did my visa get approved so easily and quickly?` `Why do amazing things always happen to me?` `Why am I sitting on a plane to Queenstown on Dec 6th, 09?` and `Why am I so, so happy it all turned out so perfectly?`

Thank you to all of you! I had to get my found coins out and count them up . . . $9.03 (over a few years). I am always so tickled to find them . . . and when I do, I always say, “Find a penny, pick it up, all day long you’ll have good luck!” I’ve only found a paper dollar once. At lunch time one day I found two pennies on the sidewalk, and thought to myself, “wouldn’t it be cool to find a dollar bill?” That was the first time I’d ever thought that. Four hours later, walking my friend’s dog, I found a dollar bill in the ditch. How’s that for law of attraction in action? And Janette, your observation “If you follow all those great 10s and 11s backwards in time, step by step, to how they arrived in your life…. there is generally a 1 at the beginning. You know, the disaster that felt like the worst thing EVAH at the time?” went into my “Book of Wisdom.” Truly a profound observation! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful community, Tia!

Aren't we all so much smarter now than when we were kids?! Or at least we hope so! Glad you enjoyed the post and love your line about happiness being an inside job. How true!!! The pennies have definitely taught me that. There are infinite external things that could (or could not) bring me happiness...but ultimately its my job (internally) to decide whether I want to be happy or not. I didn't used to care that much about finding a penny. But now, it's an event! I smile, do a little happy dance, and thank the universe for the sing of abundance. Same pennies, new outlook. All from within! Today I choose to be happy about the rainy weather because now watering the plants on my patio is taken care of! There's always a choice. May we all choose happiness! Cheers, Leslie Bobbi,
