The Hot Tub
Submitted by: Heidi Biever
State College, PAI am a person that has had many experiences to learn and grow. My parents raised me in a creative and loving environment, and I'm grateful to be offering the same to my children. I've spent my life in the arts and also in the quest for exploring the possibilities of the Universe.
We piled in the car around 9:30 PM for our usual swim at the local hotel. Being homeschoolers, we are on a later schedule, and love having the pool to ourselves in the evening.
Upon arriving, a number of people were using the pool – including a group of kids in the hot tub. I teach theatre to kids on a daily basis, and I look forward to some quiet moments in the hot tub to read The Secret. I spent the first 15 minutes or so feeling badly that the hot tub was taken, and couldn’t the kids use the pool instead? I finally just sandwiched myself into the hot tub and began reading.
After a few moments, the kids did leave for the other pool. As I read, I realized that I had not been sending love and gratitude toward these individuals. I reached out to the Universe and asked for a second chance to love and appreciate them.
In a few minutes they did return, and we struck up a pleasant conversation. The mom of the kids came to join us. She told me that one of her children had spied me reading The Secret. The mom went on to tell me that her children had been raised on The Secret, and that she had even read it to them in the womb. I was flabbergasted!! There I was sitting with young experts in The Secret!
I began asking them questions about how they used the ideas. These children were all under the age of 12, and had many uses for The Secret – including their sports and friends at school. The mom finished by letting me know how the children would remind her when she needed to adjust how she was thinking about something.
I was truly in awe of this second chance I was given!!
