On the first of January, 2005, I met the man of my dreams. I did not know it at the time but I was actually using the law of attraction to bring him into my life. The year before, my girlfriends and I had written down on a piece of paper all the things that we wanted our future husbands to be. I wanted him to be gentle, caring, God fearing, hard working, etc. I listed as much detail as I could think of. His physical appearance, his eyes, his characteristics, everything. We buried our lists in the back garden that night, had a good laugh, a glass of wine, and forgot about it.

A year went by and in the back of my mind, I kept believing that one day soon my guy would come. I didn’t allow any negative thoughts to linger. When I felt lonely, I would close my eyes and imagine our beautiful life together and then give thanks for it.

A year later I met him by chance at a friend’s house. We were married in 2007! This was the turning point in my life. I realized that I had the ability to change my situation. I had magic inside of me, as we all do, and I had a powerful mind. I found a copy of The Secret DVD and watched it over and over again. I even got my entire family to watch it. I listened to the audiobook in my car as I drove, and really allowed it to sink into me.

After I got married I had my children and loved my time at home with them. Then I started feeling like I wanted more, I wanted a career. I wanted to earn money and also provide for my family. I had no idea what it was, but again, I put my wish out there, and every night before I fell asleep I gave thanks for my wonderful career! Not long after that, I got a call from someone whom I had met through my sister. He worked in Real Estate and asked me if I could come and help him for three months, as his PA had taken maternity leave. I didn’t know what to say, or if this was the right move, but I accepted the job in faith. I loved it and fell head-over-heels in love with ‘property’. I knew I had found my fit in terms of a career. As I worked for those three months, I decided to study property and become a Real Estate agent. I also really hoped that the company would keep me on. However, I had to leave when the other lady returned from maternity leave. I was disappointed but so grateful to have had the experience.

It was not an easy road to obtaining my qualifications, mostly because of my own self-doubt. But once I really put my trust in the Universe it all just came together. I was thriving as a sales agent, my clients and my directors loved and adored me, and I loved my work!

About two years ago I started feeling drained and all-consumed. My work was great but my family life was taking a strain and I was working all the time, even in the evenings and on weekends. I was missing out on family parties and special occasions and eventually I made a decision to put a new plan into action. Because I did not have many skills besides property sales, it was quite difficult to look for a normal 9 to 5 job in other industries. There were moments of self-doubt and disappointment but as soon as I felt that doubt, I immediately focused on the end result. I closed my eyes and pictured what my new job would look like. I imagined the scene in my mind and felt those feelings of achievement and complete happiness.

Then the lockdown came, Covid-19 hit us, and the world went into a state of panic, fear and loss. Still, I had a quiet faith inside of me that everything was going to be okay. I kept a journal and gave thanks for everything in my life. The roof above my head, my children, my husband, our health, the food on our table, and I gave thanks for the health of the world. I still do.

Long story short; three months ago I started my new 9 to 5 job at the same company. Amazingly, by some miracle, a position had opened up amidst a world-wide pandemic and they offered me the job! The transition was effortless as I naturally just fit into my new position at the company, just as I had imagined!

Thank you to Rhonda Byrne and The Secret team. Over the years through their books, audio tapes, and this website, I was encouraged and they ignited in me a passion and desire to choose to see the beauty in life. I choose to dance in the storm and give thanks for all my blessings! Life is beautiful, just believe.
