Houston, TexasI am a 36 year old homebody. I love to write poetry and crochet.
I heard about The Secret from a great friend some years ago. Then I happen to be in an airport on my way home from work and came across the book. I remembered my friend telling me about the book and I picked up 3 copies and gifted 2. I immediately read it and was kind of flabbergasted at what I was reading. I love this book!
I had fallen on some hard times within the past few years, so lately I had been in a “weird place”. Throughout my life I have noticed some “odd occurrences”, but I thought they were just normal. At least they were for me. In my 20’s, I met a group of people who were like-minded and positive like me. I have always been a happy, positive person even when I’m faced with negativity and confrontation. I always came out on top no matter what.
I recently was reminded of the book by a friend on Facebook, so I decided to pick it up and read it again. Still in shock as I’m reading it because as I’m reading it I am realizing that there have been things in the book that I’ve done all my life and when I was doing them my life was gravy. Very good. Even when someone would come to me and try to rain on my parade after I would tell them my great news, I would kindly let them know that all the negativity they were spewing at me wasn’t going to happen. That nothing but good would come to me and it always did.
When I was a little girl, I noticed that when ever I wanted something really, really, really good and said that it was what going to happen, it always did. I grew up believing that. It’s been like that all my life. If I said something and I wanted it enough, it usually came to fruition, big or small.
As I have gotten older I saw in my 20’s that whenever I would think about someone or focus on them for any length of time, however briefly, they always manifested themselves to me. I’m still like that. I can think of anyone for a few seconds and tell myself, “I need to speak to her or him.” That would be all it takes. I never knew that this was The Secret I was using, I just knew that it worked. I have gotten jobs, seen old friends, been blessed with what ever I needed when I needed it.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift with us, Rhonda, and all who were a part of this project.
