Accidental Love Was No Accident.

Submitted by: Amanda B.

Cleveland, OH

I am a mother of 3 children. I have a close relationship with each one. I have been with their father for over 12 years now. We are not married as we feel the binding and implications of marriage kills a relationship. This has proven to work for us. I work in the behavioral health field, giving back to others who need hope through my personal experiences. I am satisfied, grateful, and eager for more. I love being in the moment.

This is a long one. I have many stories I could tell that show proof of how the law of attraction works. I am going to share my love story this time.

When I met my partner, I was homeless, couch surfing, and addicted to opiate pain medication. My car was on the verge of repossession and I was miserable in every relationship I got into. It was always the same old story, the same pattern. I swear it was the same guy each time except for a different face and name. Always the cheaters, drug dealers, and abusive types. I guess I did not think I was worth much more than that. At the time I did not realize it was what I was attracting through my vibration. Through all of my personal struggles, I never played the “victim card”. I knew to an extent that I was responsible for myself and that I created my own circumstances. I just didn’t know a way out or understand the law of attraction.

One day after getting into a screaming match with my ‘sort of’ boyfriend at the time, I drove along in my car that I was not even paying for anymore. I was singing at the top of my lungs, “Send Me An Angel” by Amanda Perez, I think. When I was belting it out, I was thinking about it meaning to send me a soulmate or a capable lover that would “sweep me off my feet” and be different from what I was used to. I needed someone to save me from myself. Then I switched to singing Evanescence’s “Bring Me To Life”. Music can be so powerful.

With these types of songs, I was sending a vibration out to the Universe about what I wanted in a relationship. I did not feel sadness or sorry for myself or anything. I would literally dream about someone. I could never see their face but I knew when I met him, I would know who he was. I stopped the resistance. I stopped trying. I stopped looking. I started to have fun. I started to enjoy and appreciate myself despite my addictive behaviors and illness.

Well to shorten the story, many unfortunate events, or what seemed to be very unfortunate at the time, took place. They caused a domino effect of specific things falling into place. Everything was so precise that it led me to work at this place I never thought I would work at. Several men showed interest and we would flirt and joke around but I didn’t have that feeling like it was the vibration of the one I had been dreaming about. The only one I was intrigued by was quiet. He didn’t say much to me but I left it alone. I didn’t push, I didn’t resist, I just went with the flow. Before I knew it, he was invading my thoughts more and more on a regular basis without any form of instigation on his end. He would just pop up in my mind at random times when I was thinking of random things. Then I started picturing us together for no good reason and I liked what I felt and saw. As soon as I was comfortable with the idea of being with this person, he started to open up and pursue me.

It happened so fast and before I knew it, we were spending every day and every night together. I had never connected with anyone on this level before and it felt so good. We were in our honeymoon phase but this was way more than that. This was a true soul connection.

Well, many years went by. Now we have kids, a beautiful home, dogs, a fence, the whole 9 yards! I always used to say, “Well I’m lucky! My partner accepted me for my situation at the time. He supported me through addiction treatment without ever having an addiction himself. He does not go to the bar, he does not cheat and he does not abuse me. I should feel grateful.”

Then like every other relationship, we both got to a dead end where we started to knit pick at one another. Our passion was fizzling fast and there were so many things negative I was so focused on. After a huge argument, I felt it was time for me to end things, take the kids and move out. I was really ready to do this.

One day not long after that, I came across a meditation on opening your heart to unconditional love and seeing the positive in our loved ones. I never felt such a rush of love and understanding before. This was still before I discovered the law of attraction. I had an overwhelming thought and feeling of what needed to be done. I started letting him know how much he is loved and appreciated. I started appreciating all that is good and all that he does and ignoring all that I found to be negative. Things started to feel so good. Then I discovered Abraham Hicks and it was all over from there. I realized that I had manifested this relationship from the beginning and it was such a great gift from the Universe. When I stopped appreciating it and seeing it as a gift, it went downhill fast.

Things are so different now. We are having the best time and connection, even more than when we first got together. Very rarely do we ever harp on each other and if one of us is in a bad mood, we separate ourselves, do our own thing. If we feel like things are heading away from where we want, we focus on the stuff we love. We express our gratitude and appreciation for even the smallest everyday things. Now we have received from the Universe what we had always asked to see from one another. We put our wishes out there and now we are living them out and it feels really good.

This stuff works! It gave me love and it saved my love and it was no accident! I’m working on my overall well-being and weight loss now and it’s going really well. I feel great!! Don’t ever lose hope or give up. It works!!!
