Hey. My name is Monique and I’ve known about The Secret for about a month now. My dad bought the DVD and I had the privilege of watching it. I was awed and inspired to say the least. The first thing I used it for was to find good parking spaces and now they come by default without me having to think about it. Another thing I’ve declared to the Universe was that “I am always on time,” because I’ve habitually feared being late and sometimes my fears have been realized. It reduced my stress as I went places and as of now, I haven’t been late for a lot of things, including driving school!
I also thought about celebrating today as my last day of summer by having an ICEE and going out. By 3 PM today, I didn’t think I’d ever get out of the house until I realized that I needed to act like I was already out. While we went grocery shopping, my mom was looking for a place that served cold drinks because she was thirsty. I asked a person who worked at a Food-to-go place in the store where the drinks were. To my surprise, not only did they have bottled drinks, but an ICEE machine! I was about to tell my brother that The Secret is still working when I saw something playing on a TV in the electronics section. Yes, my friends. They were playing The Secret in the electronics section.
To further the proof that whatever I thought about literally came into my life a while later, I’ll tell you this. A TV on display elsewhere in the store was showing the concert version of High School Musical. I remembered an article from People about how the stars are dating each other. As we were ringing up our groceries, my brother pointed out the display of the People magazine by the register. It was the issue I was looking for!
