Am I going crazy

Surrey, EnglandJust turned 30 year old girl who thought I was going mad, but is living a magical life.
Hello Secret Team,
I just want to thank you for changing my life….
Well my story begins….
I am a flight attendant for Virgin Atlantic and when you are crew you meet some amazing people especially people you work with. A colleague of mine introduced The Secret to me. I was asking a lot of questions about this book and thought I have to read it. At the time I was really broke and could not afford to buy this book and kept asking people around me if they had heard of it as I was only introduced to it in December of 2011. One day a few weeks after being introduced to The Secret my Auntie brought it down to my house just before Christmas and said, “I think you need this.” And guess what? It was the book The Secret.
Till this day I have read The Power, The Secret and The Magic so many things have happened to me, LOADS! But I have to tell you about this one thing….
I was turning 30 and I wanted to bring all my best and closest friends to Las Vegas for a week, all 16 of them. With the help of two other friends, I manage to get them all over there. By using The Magic I manifest us all to get an upgrade to premium. This was a start to many things to come.
We had an amazing holiday so much laughter and fun, but on the morning of my birthday in Vegas 5 days into our holiday, I couldn’t get out of bed…. I was so down, upset, thinking about my family and feeling guilty I wasn’t at home celebrating it with them, thinking of all the things I don’t have in my life etc. I just couldn’t get myself out of this mood. Tried to take all my friends to old town Vegas to go to a particular pool at the golden nugget to swim with sharks, but it was a nightmare, it was packed, no beds or cabanas! I was manifesting all these bad feelings so everything started to go wrong. My friends could see I was upset, but I had a brave face on and didn’t want anyone to suspect I was down. As we got into the taxi to go back to Ceaser’s Palace to go around their pool, my four friends I was sharing the taxi with said “What is the matter?” I just burst out into tears and said “I honestly do not know…. I just feel so down about turning 30 and I have been so excited for so long”.
We had a good old chat in the taxi and I started to feel better. As we got to the pool I spent most of the day there and said to everyone I’ll see you back at the hotel I just need a nap. Everyone wanted me to stay or try and come back with me, but I just wanted to be by myself for an hour just to clear my head. As I got back to the hotel I was still not feeling myself then two of my friends turned up who I worked with at Virgin and said they wanted to see me as they have just landed. All I wanted to do is curl up into a ball and sleep. I text them my room number and they came up to see me. I didn’t want them to have any idea I was feeling down at all as they were only in Vegas for two nights and this had been planned for months for them to see me.
I answered the door. They were so excited to see me which instantly made me get out of this ridiculous mood I was in! We were laughing and catching up, then all my friends came back from the pool and came into my hotel room to see me and everyone was so excited to see each other and suddenly everything started to feel so much better and I started to feel so happy and grateful for everyone and all my amazing friends.
As the evening went all on we all got ready to go out. All my friends did a surprise room party for me. I had amazing gifts and then more Virgin crew came and met me to celebrate! It was just amazing! One of the crew who I have flown with a couple times before whispered in my ear what amazing friends you have. Which made me feel so proud and so, so happy. We all got into a Hummer which my friend Emma organised for me to take me to a club, we partied all night and had a great time.
As I came back to the hotel we were staying in, me and my friend Joelle decided to go on a couple of slot machines and we met this guy who was playing on one I turned around to this man and said “I am the luckiest person you will ever meet”. He gave me some dollars and I started winning all this money for him, then I decided to go by myself on the The Wizard of OZ slot machine well I never!!!! I won 2000 dollars!!!!!!!!! What an amazing 30th birthday present!!!!!
I truly am so blessed with everything I have in my life and you made me realise this… I was a mean and negative person for such along time and since that December day when my auntie gave me your book The Secret, my life is magic. With my winnings I gave 500 dollars to my friends who were struggling with money in vegas and then paid for a 500 dollar cabana for all my friends at the best pool party the next day to say THANK YOU for coming to Vegas with me and making my 30th special. The other 1000 dollars I have treated myself to the iPad which I have wanted for the last 7months and now can afford. Thank you universe for all the unexpected money I receive.
This is just one of my stories I have so many more. Which includes a 5 dollar note with my name written on it which I got in Orlando, Florida and I’m from England. That was the day I knew I wasn’t going mad and then all of this happens to me. I still have this note and carry it with me everyday to remind me to say thank you. My 30th was on the 10th July 2012. I want to say a BIG Thank you to you Rhonda and your very special team which made this all happen from your one thought. Thank you.
