Hi Rhonda. Thank you so much for publishing this wonderful piece of work. It has truly changed my life. I am ever so grateful for things I have in my life – my wife, my house, my kids, my job, and many other blessing I have.
My therapist told me about your books – The Secret and The Power – and suggested that I read them after we spent weeks together in consultation. I was depressed; separated from my wife; poor, and had a poor view of my life. In fact, I remember telling her that ” I cannot see my future and that scares me.” I was at a point in my life where I could not manifest my future and things that I had wanted.
And as a child and in my early adult years I had imagined my life and had wonderful ambitions but along the way I made poor choices and befriended the wrong people. And this caused my demise – my poor actions.
Consequently, my therapist knew I needed something more than her words so she suggested your books. I checked them out of the library and read both of the them cover to cover. I took notes. Rhonda, I was amazed and transformed by the words. I knew what your were saying was true and I believed in what you were saying because as a young man and child, I FELT my future. I BELIEVED in my ambitions and love of people and the Universe.
In fact, as I read, I reflected back on what I had asked, believed, and received – my military career and my current teaching job. So I knew of this power but I had let it wane and drop off. I became negative and jealous of others’ possessions. And guess what I got – negativivity and loss of possessions.
Now I am renewed, thanks to you. But I had to confirm in myself that what I had known once before and what I was reading now from you. So I did as your book suggested – I tested The Secret:
A while ago I asked for a free pizza from my favorite Italian bar and restaurant downtown. I wrote it down in my notebook – “Free pizza from Genoa.” I imagined the pepperoni pizza; I envisioned eating the pepperoni pizza; everyday for several minutes I put myself in that place, eating my free pizza.
Two weeks later, during a dinner break for one of my night classes, a student of mine walks into the classroom with two large pizzas. He set them down on the table and said, “For you and your students. I have a job now and I want to share.” I said “thank you. I am grateful for the food.” I then asked him, “Rob. Where did you get this pizza?” “Genoa,” he replied.
Amazing!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this power. I am passing it on to my family and colleagues. I firmly believe in the law of attraction and continue to harness the power of the universe to create the future that is out there waiting for me and my family.
