That was long (no apologies, however...), this is short.
I started doing affirmations with intent in April (2006). I stated that I was prosperous. I began to believe I was prosperous, and money would begin to appear in my life. In reality, I had no clue how this was going to happen. A week later, I got a check in the mail, out of the clear blue, for $4.63. I was amazed.
I kept doing it. In May, a job opportunity came up. Last week I got a paycheck for $183.89. It's blowing my mind. I'll let you know how things progress.
