Finding the book….THE SECRET
Submitted by: Nancy Costain
Toronto, Ont, CanadaI am a 58 year old woman living in Toronto, Canada. Love to go to the trailer every weekend and fish with my husband. Love to paint rocks, learn to play guitar, violin, mouth organ, keyboard and love to sing with my husband.
On Nov 8th (my Birthday) in 2008 my 28 yr old son took his life and I have been in a terrible state of giving up since. I have been up and down with trying to get my spirit back. Last week I said these words out loud, “I WANT MY LIFE BACK, I WANT TO BE HAPPY AGAIN, I WANT TO BE TRULY GRATEFUL FOR THE 28 YEARS I DID HAVE WITH MY BEAUTIFUL SON AND I WANT TO HELP OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION. PLEASE HELP ME, SHOW ME THE WAY.” I was desperate to get out of this funk and in my mind I kept saying simular words.
Well, last Saturday I went to help my mother with her garage sale at the complex where she lives. As I was looking through some books at another stall I found the book ‘THE SECRET’. That very night I started to read the book and I have been smiling ever since. I have started to leave the house without fear, I’ve started to go for walks, I’ve started to appreciated everything I do have in my life. It is amazing what is happening to me.
As I think about ‘THE SECRET’ I remember eight years ago when I was alone and lonely I’ll never forget what happened when I asked for someone to love. Within a week after asking for love an old friend buzzed my apartment to see if I still lived there, and if so, ask me out to dinner. He loved me eighteen years before but I didn’t love him the same, so we stayed friends. Also, we hadn’t seen each other for many years.
To make a long story short……we haven’t been apart since and now married seven years. We have a very special love and I now realize that I was making use of ‘THE SECRET’ even back then. I’m sure I have many other stories but this one is one we tell over and over to people.
I know now that I am definately on a great road to healing and being grateful for my dear son and the life he did have. I want to buy this book for everybody I know because even though I have just started on my journey, I know I have a good and happy life left to me and I would love to share that. I asked for this and I got it and I will never look back.
