Do you believe in meownifestation?

There's a lot of new age talk today. Manifestation, fate, aura farming, positive affirmations and attraction theories are all bouncing around daily conversations in our vernacular now. There are plenty of examples of when deep thinking about something turned it into something real. We do attract what we give out to the world. Maybe it's about fate, and maybe it's about making your own fate, but the woman in Reddit's r/CatDistributionSystem had an incredible experience with it. She had been thinking about her cat in her childhood. She has never had one as an adult, and it was the last time she had a cat. Cats were on her brain for weeks, and then it happened. She heard meowing and thought it was coming from outside. Her husband went searching and the meowing was actually coming from under the porch!

Lo and behold, there was a tiny female kitten in their crawl space. She was small and stripped, and they immediately knew she had to be theirs. They took her to the vet and have adopted her as their own. Introducing Charlotte, which is proof not of fate, but of the cat distribution system and of meownifestation.

This kitten is one of the cutest I've seen in a while. I definitely am someone who believes in manifestation. There's something about the energy; when you fixate on something, it's bound to show up. Whether it's a good thing or a bad thing doesn't matter, so it's good advice to be careful about our thoughts, our energy, and the things we put out into the world. There's nothing more satisfying that seeing someone happen to someone in an “I told you so" type of moment. For me, it could be little things like thinking “I wanna hear __ song,” and suddenly it comes on the radio. Or thinking of someone and then they text you, “hey, let's hang out soon.” It doesn't have to be fortune telling or predicting the future. It could really be much more simple, and there's a beauty to that simplicity. This story really gets me, so go out there and manifest!
