I was reminded today of one of my first experiences that pointed out to me the power of the words that come out of our mouths.  It was many years ago - 1976 I think.  I was teaching a metaphysical development class and I was talking about an upcoming trip to Atlanta for a convention.  I’ve always had a flair for the dramatic - and so - being dramatic and with the energy that goes with that - I said “I don’t have a thing to wear in Atlanta.”  … well … it may have not been true when I said it … but you know how manifestations go … on the trip to Atlanta my suitcase was damaged and all of my clothes ruined.  I literally didn’t have anything to wear and had to go buy clothes to attend the convention. — wish I hadn’t said that!
