Hi Chingona,

I had to laugh this week. I asked the Universe/God, for me, they're one and the same to send me a free car. I know it sounds wild, but I’ve been manifesting a lot of little things lately. An air conditioner. A bed for my dog. A plant. Things that weren’t really priorities but still brought me joy. So I thought, why not? Let's ask for something bigger.

I’ve been carless for about a year now, and it’s actually been fine. I work from home, Uber when I need to, and honestly, I’ve loved not having a car payment or the stress of maintenance. But still, I miss it sometimes like grocery shopping would be way easier, you know? So, I threw it out to the universe. _{“Send me a free car.”}

And the universe answered. Just... not quite how I imagined.

I was walking my dog yesterday, and there it was, a tiny pink toy Volkswagen Bug just sitting on the sidewalk. A toy car. I couldn’t help but laugh. I picked it up, instantly thought of my nephew (he loves cars), and brought it home. I put it on my desk and didn’t think much of it.

This morning, while I was working out, I looked at it and it hit me. I asked for a car. The universe sent me one. I just wasn’t specific.

And when I realized that my ask was answered, even if it was a toy, I cried a little bit. It made me emotional because it was this little nudge from the universe, a reminder that God and the universe always have my back. Even when it’s not in the way I expected.

Be Specific About What You Want

This whole experience made me think about how often we ask for things without being clear on what we really want. Sometimes, we’re vague because we’re afraid of asking for too much or being too picky. But guess what? It’s okay to ask for more. It’s okay to take time and really evaluate what you want.

It reminded me of love. I used to just say, “I want love.” But did I really think about what kind of love I wanted? Looking back, I realize I often received love that wasn’t what I needed, because I wasn’t clear or specific.

For the first time ever, I’m allowing myself to be picky. I’m allowing myself to ask for more. To dream bigger. To not settle for just any version of what I want but the version that feels right for me.

If you’ve been holding back on asking for more, I’m here to remind you, it’s okay. It’s okay to take a moment, figure out what you really need, and say it out loud.
