Enlydia Listener on HubPages

I read a book once called "Write it down, Make it happen"....it is spooky cause I think it really works, which makes me all the more careful about what I write.

One of the first hubs I wrote on here (now deleted) was about how to simplify my life.   I complained about all the stuff I owned...or rather how much stuff owned me...I was commiserating with myself...about how I wanted to simplfy my life, since our house was so big...and every nook and cranny was filled.

Well, less than a month later, both my husband and I lost our jobs...3 months later our house went into foreclosure...I had written it down...Did I make it happen?    That is the scary part about it.   Does it always work in your behalf...or as it seems in this circumstance, can it work against you?
