Ok, it’s time to come clean. When I was 20 I had a secret love affair. It wasn’t my fault really, it just…happened. It was one of those things that I didn’t consciously plan for or dwell on. However, deep down, in my subconscious, I knew (Napoleon Hill would agree!).
I had known for 2 years by that time actually. I had even voiced my desire aloud once or twice I’m sure, though not with any real conviction. I hadn’t even really discussed it with my own best friend, and we talked about everything! I worked 2 different part-time jobs, 7 days a week through post secondary school. Getting ever closer to that which would free me from the mundane day-to-day life I was living.
Without even realizing that the law of attraction had brought us together, I soon found myself face to face with the object of my desire. A cherry red 1973 British TR6! I remember it like it was yesterday – Summer vacations with my girlfriend, traveling from my hometown of Edmonton through the Rocky Mountains and into British Columbia, my hair blowing in the wind and the sun warming our faces. What a glorious time! That little red sports car was my one weakness, though I was never even really aware of it. Sure, at 18 I had thought about it, but I never made it a focus. In fact, I had probably forgotten about it more than I’d ever actually thought about it. But somehow, we were drawn to one another. The law of attraction would not be denied no matter how blase I was about it. The universe had determined that we would be together and for 10 phenomenal years we were inseparable. I still miss her to this day. She outlasted and was the envy of many young men in those days (and was, I’m sure, more loyal!).
So, my friends, do not attempt to deny the law of attraction and your destiny. You will simply be wasting your energy. They will find you when you least expect it!

Deborah! I love this, what a great story.
Isn’t it funny how the mind works. I have had that happen so many times. We attract what we think about.
I think it is wonderful that you were so in tune at such a young age. Imagine the potential our youth of today could have if they tapped into this?
Thanks for sharing your story and congratulations on your new site, it looks great.
Lisa – Thank you so much for your comments on my blog! I agree, that we can all definitely tap into the potential of youth of today with all the great experiences each and everyone of us has! We just need to tell our stories – and blogs and social media are a great way to do it! Thanks again for your referral of Nick from Grayrocks – I am loving my new website/blog!
Deborah – Wow! I love this story about being attracted to your red car. You are so right….it is better to appreciate what is attracted into our life and we can begin to focus on attracting more of what we desire. Thank you for sharing your secret and your passion. Love your new website, too!
Deborah, What a great story…of your life…. I can just visualize you driving through the Rockies. You are a true example of worthiness and that is why what you wish for attracts to you…. You are open to receive it fully because you know that you deserve it. We can all follow your wonderful lead…..Thanks for sharing…..
Deb, Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t thought of the law of attraction quite that way. One does not have to be young. I had the same relationship with a SAAB convertible in my late 40’s. I drove by a dealer and there it sat. I barely thought about it before I pulled into the lot and bought the car. My favorite to this day. So, yes, women have love affairs with cars too! gl
Angelika – It is so good to hear from you, especially with your amazing intuitive powers and connection to the universe!
I, too, had a love afair like that. It was a red 1966 Volvo P1800. Ahh, the adventures we shared…
And the Law of Attraction does play a mischievious role sometimes in how our lives can change… My mother used to say, “Nanci, eat all the food on your plate. There are starving children in Africa.” I became curious about those chlidren and being hungry. Many years later I found myself landing at Mt. Kilimanjaro Airport in Tanzania, East Africa with others I had enrolled to deliver 5 miles of water pipeline to a small village. Since 1994, I have been doing small projects in Africa that provide food and water. I am certain my mother and God are looking down and saying “This is good.”
Darla – I am so glad you enjoyed my story – I am certain you have some great ‘attraction’ stories of your own too! Thanks for your feedback on my new website! Life is all about Evolving!

Hi Deborah– a lovely story of attraction that carries such happy memories and reminds us to appreciate the secret attractions and blessings in our lives. I love the images of freedom and joy you painted as you drove with the wind in your hair. I even felt it that your car helped make ordinary days feel extraordinary. Thank you for sharing and for your inspiration. Happy Day!

Lynne – Glad you were moved by it! Great play on words!
Hi Deb
Your story brought back memories for me too– Years ago General Motors in Oshawa would give you a car to transport west and you just paid for the gas and oil in transit. Right after graduating from University in 1954 I picked up a tomato-soup-red sedan in Oshawa for delivery to a dealer in Victoria B.C. My former roomie Marilyn and I had a wonderful adventure going west.Victoria was beautiful !
The Law of Attraction in this case forme seems to have been to Victoria because that’s now been my home since 2001. Marilyn lives in Ottawa
Thanks for your story and for refreshing my memories of another special red car
and two friends in Ottawa, Marilyn and you !
Hi Deborah,
I love this story! I also had a unique convertable back when I was about 20 years of age. A 1985 Reneau Alliance Convertable which I enjoyed for about a year and a half. I loved that car with a baby blue interior and white exterior, it almost looked like a BMW. I had the odd man approach me offering to buy it but could not part with it. When it came to the time that I had to give it up, I sold it for probably less than what I could have gotten for it! There is nothing better than driving in a convertible with the wind through your hair. The only thing I regret is that I never took a picture of it before I sold it….at least you have a picture of your former love…
I am still looking for my love and feel confident that one day I will find him!
I hope you are doing well, and would love to get together with you soon…it’s been sooo long! I need the heart to heart hug:)
MaryAnn – thanks for sharing your empowering ‘red car’ story – it has been so much fun hearing from others! All the best and thanks again for your comments!
Tania – so good to hear from you and your great love affair! I am so thrilled that my story triggered a whole lot of great memories for others! Let’s do a glass of wine soon and catch up on things! Hugs! Deborah
