Old Car to New Old Car: This is a little story of the application of abundant thought to creating a new auto. In short, this is how I made my new car happen!

I am a fan of the Volvo 240GL car – it is a very unique and beautiful car to me, and I have already owned four! My current 240 was classic and beautiful, had deep sentimental value, and ran like a champ.

But 3 years ago, a motorcycle hit and run damaged its side, and my energetic pleasure for this car decreased when I looked at it. The quotes for body work alone were more than it cost!

I was learning to ‘drive’ the idea of a new book for creating abundant situations in daily life, and chose to test its efficacy with my car situation.

In meditation, I realized that I looked and thought about it in a continual state of dissatisfaction. I did not want to feel this way about this car, which was great in every other way.

So I began to really love the heck out of this car just the way it was, seeing memories of its dependability and protection in my mind, memories of washing and cleaning it, happy moments driving in the beauty of nature, and talking with loved ones,

saying that it would resolve itself in an even better way than I can imagine, and most importantly, leaving it alone, and not dwelling in doubt that my desire would be granted in its own Divine order.

I have since worded this to accept it as already as having happened, and already mine.

I blessed the situation with this confidence and abundance mindset for four months to see a change in the situation. It happened in a way I did not predict.

The Fourth of July saw a rash of gunfire in the area where I was visiting, and my rear car window was shot out by a stray bullet. No auto glass places, even the ones famous for older models, could find a window for it.

I lost my mind a little in the energy of ‘fixing it’ – activity that often makes things more expensive or worse! – searching want ads, frustrated at the communications with strangers, while dealing with the realities of errands without a car.

I had to speak what I desired into effect. Aloud, in writing, in dancing, in WILL.

Now with sanity restored, I looked at the photographs of my car and thanked it

for its’ years of dependable, safe operation, the memories driving loved ones, and its dependability, wishing its next owner years of pleasure and safety in driving it.

I then began to describe in detail a beautiful auto of the same style that had been well cared for, and would be a stable, good running vehicle for myself and my family.

And let it go again.

The changes happened the next day. My searches led to a new auto website, and the details of an estate sale car lovingly cared for came on the market four days ago!

Within a week this lovely gold 240 was mine!

From stating my desire to seeing it at home my next new car took about 6 months (when you really do this often, this change occurs more quickly.)

It is exactly what I desired, and I enjoy it even more, knowing it was generated and manifested in this manner. Now she even has her own name (RaeJeanne) and her own Instagram (called Volvocago)!

Now the car is driving on the streets of Chicago, in addition to safety, I put an invocation over its origination and manifestation that everyone who has seen, learned of, or drives past my car would get good energy.

Good gratitude habits to send myself and everyone uplifted thoughts of abundance keep it shining as we travel into 2026 in grace and style.

DESIRE ENERGY FOR THE WIN.
