Remembrance of Charlie and Jeanne
Submitted by: Sherrie Hess-Anderson
Sebring, FLMy best friend and I started a "junk" business when we were 19 and grew it to be the largest antique wholesaling business in the United States. We sold it for millions and more or less retired at 34. We both met the loves of our lives and moved to central Florida where we have raised our families. I lost her 4 years ago to cancer. She, however, survived 12 years longer than anyone believed she would by practicing the principles of the Secret. My children are grown and I now help people with their end of life plans. I get to share the Secret with others each and every day, and I love this site.
Learning the principles of The Secret was a gift my mother gave me when I was 16. She took me to a seminar called “Adventures in Achievement” in 1966. Many, many successes and many failures – or what I like to call learning experiences – followed. I have practiced and then stopped practicing, and continue to learn new tools every day.
My brother introduced me to The Secret when it was new. Prior to using The Secret tools, I was using many others. The Secret is, however, the easiest, and has put these principles in the best format for everyone. But that’s not really why I am writing here. I want to give an example of these principles when seemingly all around you is going into the toilet, such as is happening in our economy today.
In 2002 I was practicing the principles to get the home of my dreams. It took about a year. I dragged my husband to every new development in Florida while reading The Secret teachings along the way. We just had to hold our perfect home in our minds and I would decorate it and talk about all the things our family was going to do when we found our perfect home. We had no funds at the time but I knew that they would appear. Well of course they did and of course I found the perfect home, and those of you that practice know the rest.
We moved in, and within a few short months a category 5 hurricane came right through our property. Yes, it came and it destroyed most of my neighbors’ homes. We lost a branch off a scrub oaks tree and that was all. Not a gutter, not a shingle, not a window broken… nothing.
I believe sincerely with my whole heart that you must continue to practice, and I mean DAILY. Watch your Secret film every day, read your Secret book every day, go to the website and read the stories every day. Do whatever you must to keep your energy level in heaven (I believe that we consciously contact the angels by practicing the Secret). Remember that everything you hear is not your reality. Yes, it affects you, but the level to which it will affect you is your choice. Live in Love every day and I guarantee you, you will have the same result as me. Others may lose theirs, and as we did, you may have to help them. We opened our home after two major hurricanes one after another to all our neighbors, and the special gift was we got to know them all well and made a lot of new friends. The extra special gift to me from God that day was another (I have many) special gift – we are not alone, we are all like sea shells, different yet we are connected. I will meet many of you on my journey, as we seem to always be attracted to each other, even in a crowd. It works, if you work it.
