In her book “The Law of Abundance”, Sherry describes in detail how the law works and how to use it to gain abundance in what you most desire. She, also, warns that you must be very specific in what you seek because without clarity you may receive something very different or much more than you ever wanted or ever expected. A classic example is the following true story.
We both enjoy simple things of which our pets are an excellent example. Outdoors we have a pond with Koi and Goldfish that are easy to care for and provide great pleasure in watching their beauty and playful antics. We, also, have a wild bird feeder and a family of squirrels that provide entertainment in their endless attempts to reach it, but that’s another story.
Our indoor pet was Chirpie, a canary that we loved dearly. He was a beautiful golden yellow that our daughter-in-law called Lemondrop. His song was very melodious and enjoyable to hear. But, after almost 12 years Chirpie passed away.
Missing his lovely song and companionship, we were determined to find another canary. Sherry searched pet stores everywhere in the area and found only one store that had any in stock. They had two. She chose the smallest which was a very young bird that was a golden yellow. We were not even sure he was a male and could sing, but he was purchased anyway and we called him Chirpie 2 or “Chirps” for short. After getting him home and caged, we found that, where Chirpie 1 was mellow and laid-back, number 2 was a hyperactive spaz in constant motion.
After several months and his initial molt, he found his voice and, OH BOY! did he. How could such a small bird have such a big voice? Although his trilling is pleasant, it’s continuous, especially when Sherry is on the phone. Apparently, he feels she needs to be serenaded.
He has become a special member of the family and of course we spoil him like a child with treats he enjoys, but when there’s an import phone call, Chirps goes to another room.
We had hoped to find another canary who sang beautifully and we did. What we forgot to add was that we also wanted it to be nice, mellow and calm, and to sing only occasionally.
