This Weekend’s LoA Success Story!

I suppose one way of manifesting your own Law of Attraction Success Stories is to start a website called, “Law of Attraction Success Stories,” and travel the entire country in search of them.  Let me tell you how this past weekend went…
As usual, last week, I attempted to connect with LoA enthusiasts in two ways.  Formerly I just sent direct messages to LoA groups via the Meetup.com website.  But, then I met Brittany Rose, a 21-year-old college student who operates More Than Cheer!, a cheerleading consulting company in Richmond, Virginia.  For some reason I felt moved to ask her for suggestions as to how I might reach more people in the various cities where I’d be traveling.  Her response?

“Maybe try Facebook ads.  They’ve worked for me.”

So I did.  In fact it was a Facebook ad to which Herbie Muench responded last week prior to my trip to Chicago.  Herbie is a fantastic guy with many years of experience in the area of Personal Development, Life Coaching and the Law of Attraction. We originally planned to meet Saturday evening, but he later called to reschedule for Sunday evening since he also wanted me to meet his lovely associate and life partner, Shakti Bracilano, herself a Certified Life Coach through the Hendricks Institute and an Osho Meditation teacher.

We met in the lobby of the Embassy Suites Hotel O’Hare for a preliminary introduction.  Shakti asked me about my work, and I explained that on weekends I travel the country, putting on group presentations, but that my primary career has been as a Voice Talent.  (See JonathanLockwood.com for my voice talent website and to listen to my demos.)  Both Herbie and Shakti fell back in their chairs in amazement.  It took them a couple of minutes to recover, while I tried to guess at the reason for their reaction.  Understand that I very rarely run into anyone who does what I do, and people are normally quite uninformed about the field.  Finally Shakti spoke…

“For years I’ve been a talent agent–specifically focusing on Voice Talent.  I work with a major agency in Chicago, and as a rule do not accept calls from prospective Voice Talent. But you, Jonathan Lockwood, are the Master Manifestor, because you somehow found a way to get me to drive right to your hotel to meet you!”

At the beginning of each day, I meditate, asking the Universe to bring me certain things “in ways I both expect and don’t expect, so that I am constantly amazed at my ability to co-create these things.” (This language was borrowed from Dr. Joe Dispenza’s “Create My Day” piece from the film, “What the Bleep Do We Know?”)  I start by asking for more and bigger clients in my Voice Talent work, then move on, asking to find interested and interesting people as I make my way through the U.S. in search of Law of Attraction Success Stories.  It’s true that I see myself as already having manifested these things, and I feel the wonderful feelings of already having them.  But I can say without question that I never imagined finding an LoA Success Story participant who was ALSO a Voice Talent Agent at a major market agency!  This combined both my primary requests of the Universe–and, although I’m not sure how or when Ms. Bracilano and I might work together in the future, indeed brought me this potential in a way I did NOT expect!  And the fact that this manifestation WAS so unexpected is further motivation to continue doing what I’m doing, both manifesting my intentions while remaining open to new inspirations.

Another thing worth mentioning…  A young man named Frank Serritella responded to one of my meetup.com messages, and I gave him a call.  He told me that he was relatively new to the LoA, and didn’t think he yet had any stories worth mentioning–but would certainly enjoy connecting with others who did, so I encouraged him to join us.  To me it felt like a universally-arranged evening.  Herbie and Shakti were positively flowing with rich experiences and wisdom, I was the facillitator feeling his way along a similar path, and Frank was the eager beginner, soaking it all in and enjoying it thoroughly.  I have at least a couple of hours of video, including all three of them, and we later were even joined by a couple of my close personal friends who I hope benefitted from the experience.
My former video editing tutor has become unavailable, so I’m presently looking for a new one.  Then I’ll finally be able to get these fantastic videos posted for everyone’s edification.
Friend, I don’t know where you are with the Law of Attraction, but I’m living in almost constant astonishment.
