The Peanut on the Law of Attraction
Posted on 16. May, 2009 by Karen in Peanut
This weekend is my neighborhood garage sale. Everyone who was inspired to do spring cleaning has amassed a collection of this, that and the other for sale in their driveway or garage. My sister and I always share this task so our treasures are now on display waiting for someone to see and appreciate their bargain value.
While we were setting up this morning, my 5 year old niece – the Peanut – was sitting in an old rocker that my sister put out to sell. The Peanut was rocking away and looking off into space. I thought she was bored and asked her what she was thinking about. The Peanut said:
I’m imagining.
This got my full attention because I’m always intrigued by how effortlessly the Peanut uses her powers of imagination. So I asked her what she was imagining. The Peanut said:
I’m imagining that I’m swinging on a swing going really high!
So I told her keep working on it. And she kept rocking away. A little while later, the kids next door came out to play and invited the Peanut over. They have a swing set. So within 30 minutes of imagining herself on a swing, the Peanut was, in fact, swinging and going really high!
Take a lesson from the Peanut on imagination. I did:-)

Karen,
Such a great post about the peanut. I’m imagining her sitting in the rocking chair imagining. She’s so cute!

Hi Karen,
I just love your your blog and the way you weave life lessons in with stories about your “peanut”! She’s going to be one wise and successful woman.
BTW, once I can get some irons out of the fire, I still want to talk to you
Take care and be blessed!
