The other day something strange happened to me. I manifested money out of what seemed to be thin air. It was a small miracle. It was surreal. Hence, the Salvador Dalí theme.

A client of mine owed me 10k. I saw that he was on holiday in the UK. Mmm. For a brief second I felt like the victim … “He’s having fun with my money”. Then I got over myself.

I then remembered that he had a benefactor that probably paid for his stay. So, I cut him some slack. And, of course, he’s also a great guy.

I thought I’d give it a shot and ask him for the money he owed (10k). So I sent him a WhatsApp note.

>>> Hello you. Just checking in to see if you got the invoice? And, have you got an idea when you’ll be paying?

In my head, I was being a bit of a bitch and thought, “Get your benefactor to pay, why don’t you?”

>>> Client: Do you have a link where I can pay with a card? I have a friend that will pay for me this month, but he can only pay with his card.

Then I thought, let’s push the envelope. In my head I said, “Why don’t you get him to pay 20k?”

Two minutes later I got this. >>> Can you make it R20 000?

I don’t know what’s going on here? All this manifested in five minutes. Perhaps there’s something to this positive thinking, law of attraction and manifestation stuff?

So, now I’m scratching around YouTube and watching Joe Dispenza, Delores Canon, Sadhguru, and a bunch of others to get to the bottom of this manifestation thing.

Maybe there’s something to it all.

I’ve started with affirmations. Every morning, I affirm: “What if life, business, money, wealth, prosperity, and abundance come easily, joyfully, and gloriously to me?”

I’ll let you know how it pans out.

*AI prompt: Miracles depicted in the unmistakable style of Salvador Dalí, surrealism, melting clocks, dreamlike atmosphere, vibrant colours, meticulous attention to detail, oil on canvas, large format, museum-worthy artwork.

Some wisdom is timeless. If I read this quote today, I’d think it was written for our times: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” Charles Dickens – A Tale of Two Cities

He left out serendipity and happenstance.

A couple of weeks ago, I received a WhatsApp from someone I didn’t know. “Hello Jacques, how are you? Do you still work at “whatever” restaurant?”

“I’m looking for an executive chef to run my kitchen.”

I replied, “I think you have the wrong Jacques. I can barely boil an egg.”

“（◎0◎）ᵒᵐᵍᵎᵎᵎ, sorry, wrong Jacques”

I then replied, “Weirdly, I have a friend who is an executive chef, and she’s at a loose end at the moment.”

“Please put me in touch with her,” she said.

I did, and the rest, as they say, “is history.” My friend is now employed.

I think this is the most wonderful miracle as my friend was getting rather desperate to find work.

I’m sure that if you reverse engineer your life, you’ll be able to pick up that there’s a divine hand directing the path of our lives. Well, for me, anyway. Someone once asked me about my life. I said that it was a perfect mess. It is, and it’s perfect.
