Hello. I read an email of The Secret and inside was an inspirational story – it was awesome. I deleted it after reading it, but something inside made me want to retrieve it and share with you how the Secret saved my life.

I was medically discharged from the service in 2005. I first read The Secret by chance, looking for a spiritual answer through an internet search in 2007. I bought the book and rented the movie and immersed myself in its teachings. You see, I was 187 pounds, diagnosed with fibromyalgia, walking with a cane, depressed, paranoid, and a man who I thought cared about me told me he did not.

I began to use the Secret, and I want to tell you it was easy for me, but in the beginning it was not. I had the want and the desire and I believed, but I was lacking the gratefulness I needed. Even when I went through and found things to be grateful for my results came slowly. I didn’t give up though. Every day I would find more thing to be grateful for, and I made a list of what to believe. I wanted to be pain free, slim, walk unassisted, happy, and in love.

You know as my life was progressing I was losing weight, I was walking unassisted, and I was happier, I was even working out in a gym… but when I told my new guy I loved him, he did not love me and was not ready for a commitment. I gave up, I threw all my lists away, I stopped saying how thankful I was.

Recently in 2008, for some reason I started getting Secret emails – like from nowhere they were there in my Inbox. I did not receive them before and now I was. I started thinking all over again about the Secret, it was in my mind again.

So, I want to say today March 2008… That guy (yes the same one) told me he loved me and is talking about getting married. He told me Feb 11th. I am still walking unassisted, I am in no pain, I am happy, and I lost 30 pounds. I say thank you for things again too.

Truly, I know the Secret has saved my life, and I am thank-ful. There is a lot more that I am thankful for. The Secret has been there for me and with me, and when I gave up it came back. So, thank you for everything.
