Timing is Everything

Chicago, ILI am a disabled, at-home Mom, plugging my way through online schooling. The Secret has truly changed my life!
My story begins with a bad marriage turned hairy divorce. With little to no money, I moved my 4 year-old-daughter and myself into a modest 2 bedroom apartment with a couple of beds to sleep on and a decrepit couch to watch a meager television with.
We did what we could to keep a sense of normalcy to our lives, but money was tight, and I was doing everything that I could to keep us fed and housed with electricity and warmth.
A good friend of mine suggested I watch The Secret. He could not stop about how amazing it was and how eye-opening it was to him. With a little hesitation, I watched The Secret…
I was in awe! I never realized how much I had been doing to myself and my world, and I decided then and there (after many realization tears!) that my life was going to change for the better and it was going to start with my Universe Wish List.
The first item on my wish list was to receive $6,000, so, I went to the Secret website and created a check for myself from the Universe and made it out for $6,000 dollars. I wrote “thank you!” in the memo and taped it to the mirror on my dresser. I looked at that check every time I woke up, blew it a kiss and expressed my gratitude every time I saw it.
That same month, I applied for a Pel Grant through my school and was approved! 2 months later, I received a check in the mail from my school for $865.00! Now, I was worried about why I was receiving this money, so I called my Financial Aid Counselor. She told me to sit down before she explained to me that I was also to receive a check for $5,171.00 within the next 10 days as well. She also proceeded to tell me that normally reimbursements do not come in such large amounts and that she was thrilled for me. I…was….ECSTATIC!!
I have framed the check from the Universe and am working on a new amount that has not only my name on it, but my wonderful boyfriend and my amazing daughter.
Thank you so much for introducing the Secret to me!
Love and Happiness,
Toni
