Thank you Universe, thank you God. Thank you for bringing the Law of Attraction to my attention through the works of Rhonda Byrne. Then adding on with the works of Neville Goddard, Joseph Murphy, Ester and Jerry Hicks, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckart Tolle, Deepak Chopera and a lot Hay House authors. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!
I am a mother of five kids, married to a military man and have Holt Oram Syndrome. I do not have thumbs, have short arms and shoulders and had a hole in my heart repaired at the age of three. Even with my disability I am still thankful for who I am!
I have always thought of myself as a creative being but through life I began to think and talk negative about myself. I would come up with a great idea, a new book to write or a project of some sort and I would be so happy at first doing it. Then my negative thoughts came creeping in, “I can’t do that, no one believes in me, I never finish anything in my life” and so on. So I always failed, as I never finished what I was working on.
I disappointed my husband and myself. Then that became my reality. I would start something again and my husband would say or give me a look to confirm that I would not accomplish it. Over and over again for ten or more years I would do this. And my husband tries not to give up on me, but I felt he had and I had too.
Then one day I watched The Secret.
My life began to change. I read whatever I could get a hold of or listened to an audiobook. Trust me it has been a long journey.
Times would be great and I would attract abundance and happiness and then I would get back into my old habits of negative thinking. I often wonder, how could I go back to that way of negative thinking knowing that this law and belief system really works? But I did and did it often. I told my husband one day, “If I die, you are going to have to put “I am surprised she is dead because she never finishes anything”, on my tombstone. What an awful affirmation to think and reaffirm, but I did.
This summer I came up with another great idea. This time I took all my teachings and positive affirmations and let them empower me. I gave love to my abilities and creativity. I never gave up and I felt joy and happiness throughout the project.
I now have my very own children’s book app in the App Store for the iPad. I Did it! I wrote and illustrated a book called Socktopolis and it came out in December 2013 in the App Store.
Everything aligned itself for me to accomplish this. I proved to myself that anything is possible if you hold on to the belief that it is possible. I am not only a Stay at Home Mom, but I am also the writer of my own amazing life!
How crazy wonderful life can be if we allow ourselves to live life with positive thoughts, beliefs and love for others and ourselves!
Believe, have Faith, give unconditional Love, and LIFE will unfold all that is beautiful to you!
Love to all and some Magic Dust.
