Serendipity and the art of manifesting what you want

 I have been practicing the art of manifesting lately, putting it out in the universe what I want or need.  A majority of thoughts are in reference to my professional life; I need some new clients to help pay for additional training I am going through, I need to find a particular business person, I'm curious about new avenues for my coaching.  People just show up and seem to fit the bill.  It's uncanny.
Today was a good example of that.  I co-lead a networking group for women and we normally meet at the chamber of commerce.  They just moved into a new location and the conference room isn't available yet.  We're 10 days away from the next meeting and no place to meet yet.  I had confidence something would come up and it did...
I was at the local cafe meeting with a group of women (a different networking group) and a woman sat down at an adjacent table.  She looked very familiar.  After our meeting was over I got up to leave and the woman stood up to greet me.  She said, "I know you from somewhere, I am Reverend Janet."  I immediately placed her as the officiant at my daughter's friend's wedding 7 months ago and I had been wanting to reach out to her about my coaching to see if we could work together in some way. 
She had observed our group and was excited to see genuine networking in action.  It turns out not only does Rev. Janet want to start a women's networking group for non-profits and service providers, but her church has a large meeting room.  I asked if my group could use it next week and she said yes.
I told her about my coaching business, which is going in the direction of facilitating workshops and giving presentations to groups of parents and professionals. Rev Janet and I are going to meet for coffee soon.  New avenues are percolating as we speak.
Hallelujiah!


What are your dreams and goals?  What are you consciously "asking for" from the universe?
