The Universe Stole My Money! Say What?

Ever have an experience where it seems like the Universe is taking away the very thing you’ve asked it for?

This happened to me last week and I couldn’t figure it out at first. Then finally it hit me…and I had to laugh as I realized I did indeed get exactly what I asked for!

Here’s the scoop:

To set this up we have to go back to last month when I had several experiences of receiving different amounts of cash. The amounts and reasons were varied but I remember thinking to myself how good it feels to receive cash. I like the exchange of cash rather than credit or electronic funds because it is so real. I can see it, feel it, smell it, etc. and it brings me a lot of joy. So I put out a request to receive more funds in cash. Then I spent a few moments experiencing how good it feels to receive money that way.

Then, quite frankly I forgot about it.

So fast forward to last week…

A check I’d received from a client bounced. That alone bothered me because this never happens… I always have the experience of easy and happy client transactions. So I was confused to say the least, then frustrated because I couldn’t get a hold of the client right away then angry because I found out that check caused my bank account to be overdrawn.

I kept asking the Universe what was going on here. Just like you… I am always focusing on financial abundance and for sure the Universe didn’t seem to be listening. But get this. The next day I did get in touch with the client who apologized profusely as it was a bookkeeping error, then told me to stop by later that day and he’d make it good.

When I stopped by he handed me cash…. everything he owed me plus bank fees plus a bit extra for “my trouble.” AND… he told me he only wants to deal in cash from now on.

WHOA! Instantly my mind flashed back to that moment a month ago when I’d told the Universe how lovely dealing in cash feels and how I’d like to do more of it.

So I got my wish, with the Universe working it out in quite an unexpected way! Next time though I’ll remember to specify a bit less drama :)
