Car Key Returns
Shoshana
Jerusalem, Israel

I was attending a writing retreat quite a distance from where I live, when I discovered I couldn't find my car key. I searched high and low, feeling anxious because if I didn't find it quickly I would need a ride with someone from the retreat back to my city. I took a deep breath, decided it wasn't the end of the world, and left my car at the retreat so that I could get home with someone. I realized that I could get my spare car key from home and return the following day to collect my car, so that is what I did. I felt very calm, accepting the situation. The next day I returned to the retreat, and had another look for my car key, walking through the places I'd been the previous day. I asked a person who seemed to be someone who lived there at the a kibbutz, a communal living place, "Where would someone who found a key take it to?" He replied it would be either be posted on the notice-board outside the dining room, or in the secretary's office. He explained that sometimes people leave a note, and sometimes they leave the key itself. "Come," he said, "let's look first at the notice-board." And there, hanging on the board, was my car key! Seeing it there, I had the most incredible endorphin rush of gratitude at finding it there. It felt incredible that a little bitty car key could create such a feeling. This feeling continued as I drove my car home.

Creating Reality Shifts with Driving
Shoshana
Jerusalem, Israel

Drivers who tail-end me would always incite my wrath up until this day. I would find myself swearing at them (to myself, aloud in my car). This time I found myself saying out loud, in my car, "Bless you for driving safely, thank you for keeping your distance." I was aware that I was also feeling it in my body, especially in my heart chakra. And I noticed that the car which was too close behind me dropped back. And this has happened on other occasions now. And when I can't reach that feeling and feel that way towards other drivers, then I know that there is work to be done on myself. I still have this incredible feeling of gratitude, that there is a way to make a change in what's happening on our roads. Israel has a very high mortality and accident rate on the roads, because of aggression. So this is my reality shift story and I'm expecting many more in different areas.

Pedestrian Responds to Silent Gratitude
Shoshana
Jerusalem, Israel

I was driving up a one-way street and saw a woman walking in the road with her back to me. This usually drives me crazy, because I feel that people who do this are not taking responsibility for their own safety, leaving it up to the driver. This time I said and felt, "Thank you for taking care of yourself." Do you know what she did? She didn't carry on walking in the same direction and then go up on to the sidewalk; she actually stopped in her tracks, turned around so that she was facing me, and walked towards me until she reached the back of the car she'd been walking next to and then around on to the sidewalk. What blew my mind was that she walked back the way she'd already come and faced me. For me, this was such proof of divine intervention that I was overcome emotionally by the realization that God was listening to me.
