Stopped Hoping And Started Believing.
Submitted by: Joseph Mondeau
Tampa, FloridaI'm 55 years.old. I am a Wildlife Rescuer and engaged to a beautiful woman. I have 6 dogs, 2 cats and a blue and gold macaw so as you can see I do love animals, domestic and wild. I am divorced with one son. He is 31 right now. I raised him as a single parent since he was 2-1/2 years old up until adulthood.
This story is about how The Secret and Rhonda Byrne had an impact on my life.
Well it started when my wife and I went to a “body mind and spirit” show. And it was very interesting but while we were there one of the ladies that was doing a reading for us told us about The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. My fiance was excited about it so we purchased the DVD and watched it that night. That DVD was very, very interesting and an eye opener. So the next day we went out and purchased the CD and book at Barnes and Noble. We started listening to the CD. She was talking about being grateful and loving more and the whole CD was really good, but there was a part that stood out more than anything.
While my fiance and I we’re driving listening to the CD, I was being sorta sarcastic saying; I love the sky, I love the trees, I love the road, I love the workers, I love this and I love that. As we were driving we were coming up upon a light and it was green but then it turned yellow and to the car in front of us I was yelling, saying go, go, go you can make this light! The guy stopped short and I was like; oh man, why didn’t you go, you could have made it, we could have made this light. My fiance was saying; aren’t you going to say you love the car that stops short in front of us? She was being sort of sarcastic also, so I said I love that the car that stopped short at the light.
But now that we’re going to be late to where we’re going. Then all of a sudden, my Karen said “Look at the car Joe, look at the car!”. I was like, yeah? And she’s like, no look down at the tag! I was freaked out because the car that stopped short in front of us while I’m listening to Rhonda Byrne talking about loving more had a tag that said “LUV MORE”!! I couldn’t believe it, and I’m sure nobody else would believe it but I took a picture of it as it was starting to go when the light turn green again.
It was like the universe was trying to tell me that I needed to love more! And if you knew what kind of person I was growing up and looking back and seeing how my life turned out that the universe was there protecting me all this time trying to guide me, and it took me this long to finally open up my heart.
There’s so much more that has happened to me. I’ve started writing. I’ve started so many projects and I know that no matter where I’m headed I’ll be headed in the right direction as long as I’m grateful and love more.
