Thanks for the touching and heartfelt comments and great support, everyone! This experience was really the start to a lot of amazing things happening in my life, and concert tickets seem to be a great way to “get my attention” and show me how anything (yeah, anything!) is possible. Liv, your story is just another reinforcer for me–and Sharon, you’ve got an incredible story, too, and I can’t wait for you to share it here!

Tomkin, SO glad to know the book was so helpful for you! It was definitely a life-changer for me as well. Thank you for the kind words and cheerleading!

You guys all rock.

Hi, Michelle,

Thank you SO much for your online recommendation of “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay. I just finished it, and it’s AMAZING! I can already tell the difference it’s made, and look forward to the differences it will make in my future.

YOU are amazing, Michelle…I hope lots and lots and lots of Minnesota women use your life coaching services – you have a healing joy about you that brightens everything you touch!

Warm regards and lots of blessings,

Tomkin

It just hit me with your experience how truly awesome the timing was. The first night you desired good seats…and got them. And the second night, front row seats…and got them! Not just once, but twice the power of intention worked! (and many more times we know!).

I think it is mystical, magical, and beautiful, myself…but for those who like to “see it before they believe it”…this is it. I am feeling the power of intention so strong with your experience. You CAN have what you desire in a joyful way!!!! Such amazing stuff, Michelle…you have helped me to open up a whole new dimension in my life.

[Comment initially posted in part one] Michelle has taught me that anyone can do this – and now I can prove it! I have a similar “relationship” with Bon Jovi. When I first saw them on MTV in junior high, I was immediately smitten. And I don’t think I’ve missed a concert since! But I’ve never had seats like Michelle and Bill get. I’m usually happy with whatever I can get, especially if they’re not the nose-bleed seats! I have often told Michelle she has rock star mojo and that I need to borrow it sometime when Bon Jovi comes to town.

Well, several weeks ago, the band announced a world tour that includes a stop in Minneapolis next April. I decided to ask Ms. Rock Star Mojo to help guide me through the process of getting good seats. The tickets went on sale on a Monday at 10am. The night before, I talked with Michelle on the phone. She encouraged me to carefully look at the seating chart and pick out the seats I wanted, with a first choice, second choice, and so-on. So, I did. Having been to countless Bon Jovi concerts, I know that unless you’re in the first couple rows, it’s hard to see anything from the floor. I also know little nuances like which side of the stage Jon spends more time on and where Richie Sambora plays guitar. So, I decided I wanted to be right on the side of the stage, in Section 101, in the first seven rows. I don’t know why I said the first seven rows, but it just felt right.

I sent Michelle an email with that as my first choice, along with several other sections and seats that would still make me happy. The following morning, Michelle and Bill both got on the phone with me (now that’s friendship!). All three of us had our computers idling at the Ticketmaster web site as we set our intention to get the best possible tickets. They asked me if I was willing to pass up decent tickets in order to keep trying for the ones I wanted, and I said yes.

At 10 o’clock, the race was on. All three of us were looking for tickets online and shouting out the seats as they came up. We probably passed on about 5 sets of tickets, hitting “refresh” each time. It was so fun; none of us were worried or panicked, just trusting that the right seats would present themselves. I closed my eyes and imagined the number “101″ – the section I was hoping for. Within seconds, I heard Bill’s voice excitedly say, “Section 101, Row 7!!!” For a moment, I thought he was joking! He snapped up the tickets for me and we all celebrated (imagine lots of “woo-hoos” over the phone). I felt so empowered after those few minutes on the phone with them, reminded that we get what we expect and that the universe is conspiring in our favor all the time.

From here on out, I’m expecting only great things – and an awesome concert in April! Thanks, guys – you rock!
