I took down the decorations that I put up for Christmas at my husband's office today. The decorations had the common theme of peacock feathers, which are are currently all the rage now in feather jewelry and hair accessories!
I found these decorations at of my favorite stores, HomeGoods and Macys. Right before Thanksgiving, I found glittery peacock feather wreaths from HomeGoods for the office doors. After Thanksgiving, I found at Macy's some peacock ornaments (on sale of course) to dress up the last year's simple green wreath in the lobby. I was pleased with how hubby's office was Christmas-y with a trendy twist.
A couple of days after Christmas a couple of tearsheets from a home design catalog fell out of my daily calendar that I carry around. I didn't realize that probably soem time in October I tore out a couple of pages of fully decorated Christmas trees filled with Martha Stewart peacock ornaments--the same ones I found at Macys! I guess I subconciously was already leaning towards the peacock theme early in the fall.
And today after the office, my son and I went to the libary to return some books that were due. I usually hit the magazine racks the first thing when I get there, and today was no different. I picked up the December issue of one my favorite magazines, Real Simple. I love the recipes, organization and gift ideas, which are really simple as the magazine is aptly named! As I was flipping though, what I do see but another Christmas tree covered with the exact peacock ornament that was the "star" of the wreath in the front lobby.
I wouldn't say this was a synchronicity, but more the "Power of Attraction," which Oprah is a big believer in. One of the exercises to bring to pass the things you desire for yourself, is to tear out pages from magazines the tangible things you want to have or "attract" into your life. I think this is what happened with the peacock ornaments. Subconciously, I liked the ornaments, and I attracted them into my life. One day I tear out pictures in a magazine, a couplemonths later, there the ornaments were--in my husband's office lobby.
I think this Power of Attraction stuff may really work. Maybe I need to tear out some pictures in a magazine of a house in Tuscany, and an Central Park-view apartment in New York!
