I believe that this is the "law of attraction." I have had several times when I kept on thinking I need a certain amount of money for whatever it was I needed the money for - the most recent being about 6 months ago. Each of these times, I received almost the same exact amount of money I needed one way or the other, but, most often, surprisingly enough, through "checks in the mail." The most recent occurrence was about 6 months ago, and I needed $400.00. I just kept thinking of how could I come up with this much money in this amount of time, and, voila, a check for $476.26 showed up in my mailbox due to monies owed to me from a previous employer of which I was totally unaware. The time before that, I needed a smaller amount of money and kept on thinking about how I could get that amount of money in a few days. Again, voila, I got a check in the exact amount of what I needed from a physician's bill that I had overpaid 5 years prior.
