I had recently moved into a new home and was beginning to figure out where all of my existing pieces- furniture, accessories and art would be placed. It was a lot of fun but it required a lot of attention and decisions on how to best arrange everything.
All was coming into place nicely, particularly the study. It’s a small room where small changes can make big differences and I began to focus on how to make this room something a little more special.
I remembered a small room I saw years before that was painted in a chocolate brown. The effect was very sophisticated and cozy and it would work perfectly here. The couch and comfy chair for the space were both off-white and I had a side table with a white marble top. Those light pieces could create a theme of light against the existing dark floor and chocolate walls… perfect.
Everything was in place except for one thing. A lamp was needed for that side table and it would need a dark shade to cut down of glare and also keep to the dark/light room theme. So what kind of lamp?
This is definitely not my area of expertise but there were plenty of lamps I did not want: brass, porcelain, or charmless designs. Then it hit me. What about a lamp base that collects the light behind the black shade and becomes another white, glowing surface below?
What about something of an organic, not manufactured style… white… coral with a black shade? I had never seen such a thing but it would be perfect for that study.
OK, so this is a manifesting story and there are many good ones, big and small on the Manifesting 1,2,3 website and here is a little lamp story, but because of what happened next, I felt compelled to write this up and send it in.
Back to the lamp. All the rest of that day the idea grew into a quest to find it. This is in a pre-internet time, so finding a white coral lamp, if there is any such thing, would be a big task, and by evening, it was too late to look for it.
The next afternoon I was arranging the day, thinking of where to begin the lamp search when the mail came. I pulled it out of the box and I was shocked to see what was on the COVER of the Horchow mail catalog. It was what I had been thinking of for the last 24 hours, a black-shade lamp with an interesting white coral base, and by the way, it was better than I had envisioned.
This is my big takeaway… if you think it, it can happen. This is right in line with the Law of Attraction idea where you attract things to you, a fabulous thing to know, but later I learned that we can also build things within us – happiness, less stress, well-being. These are internal changes that we created within us, mail order is not required.
Thank you for indulging me. This was an early signpost for me and I wanted to pass it on.
