Thank you Rhonda! I have been a big believer in The Secret and the power of the universe for probably about the last ten years. Every year that goes by, I learn more about it and more about how to harness this power that we all possess. In addition to The Secret, The Power and The Magic, I also like to read the Abraham-Hicks books. There, I have learned that 17 seconds of pure focused thought on a subject equals 2000 hours of action (by the universe) in making your thought come true. If you multiply that 17 seconds by 4 (68 seconds), it equals 2,000,000 hours of action to help you manifest faster! So, here is my exercise and how it has helped me recently:

I choose my focused desire for the day. I have a meditation timer on my ipad, I set it for two minutes and use a special notebook to pour out all my intentions for that subject in writing. I try my best to only think and write positive thoughts for that two minutes…including writing “thank you” over and over and drawing smiley faces. For the two minutes, I concentrate on the FEELING of already having whatever the desire is…
Then, for the rest of the day, I try to not think about the subject at all (so there is no negativity towards it or doubts) and focus only on FEELING GOOD in every way possible.

Recently, my husband and I decided we wanted to buy a house in Grosse Pointe, Michigan. The houses are beautiful and so affordable right now. We searched for months, and finally found one we both agree on. Well, my credit score was riding the edge of almost not being able to qualify for the mortgage we needed. It was at 644 then when a couple mortgage companies pulled it, it dropped to 622. I was told if it dropped below 620, we were out of the game. Because my mortgage broker was going to need to pull it again before closing to check it, I decided that my score was NOT going to get in the way of my new house! I started doing my exercise…focusing on my score being “699”. I wrote it over and over and felt good about it, excited that I improved my credit so much. I also started to meditate daily on the feeling that I already moved in the house, I decided where I was placing all the furniture and picked out paint colors. I tried to feel a surge of LOVE inside towards that house, even whispered to it that I loved it and I would take good care of it.
I also visualized writing this exact letter because I knew everything was going to work out fine.
Well, guess what…when it came time for him to check it again, I checked my own score and it was 718! So I told him to pull it right away and he came up with 660…it wasn’t 699 but it was way above the minimum and I’m so happy! Now the house is mine!
I am doing the same exercise now to rent out my old house. I was worried because we need $1600/month to cover the mortgage on our old house. That would make it the most expensive rental in the area. I was worried that we wouldn’t get any interest, but I placed an ad on craigslist 3 days ago and I already have 7 people interested! Thanks to The Secret.

And one more way The Secret has helped me recently. I did my same exercise asking for money. I didn’t focus on a specific amount, just a flow of money all around me. Well, within a week three things happened.
1) A procedure I had done that wasn’t covered by insurance was supposed to cost $500. I got the bill and it was only $200!
2) I got a call for a temporary consulting side-job making $45/hour!
3) My husbands company announced they are going to start matching 401k contributions 50%, starting immediately. That could equal up to $9000/year!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
