I have been practicing many aspects of the Secret (without knowing it)for many years. I have been visualising car parks, for example, since before I was driving, and this has been a constant fun activity with family and friends. There are so many examples of the LOA evident in my life, but here are a couple.

About 10 years ago I was going through a stressful time in my life, and I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition – Graves Disease. Right from the start I knew in the core of my Being that I really did not have it (although I had some horrible symptoms), and that “I would not have it” and it was not who I am. The Dr’s began treating me and I ‘went along’ with them for many months. Over time I reduced myself off the medication (without telling the Dr’s) and just kept on believing (I actually had no doubts at all with this one) that I was well.

About 6 months later, the Dr was telling me that he was happy that the medication had stabilised my levels now really well, and the next step was to consider more dramatic treatment options. All of the options would mean I would be on medication for the rest of my life. I hated tablets and would not tolerate this proposal either. I think it was at this stage I told him that I did not have Graves Disease any more and I would be ok. You should have seen the look on his face. I monitored my thyroid levels over the subsequent couple of years, but my levels have remained steady ever since.

After many years of unexplained infertility my husband I have conceived and gave birth to our shining light, a baby girl. I have been a social worker for about 13 years and I originally thought I would return to work with my baby in C-A- R-E (I spell this word as I do not wish to write/say it and give it any energy at all!). After her birth I knew that this was not an option for me, and that I had to be at home with her, however with financial commitments I had to draw an income from somewhere. In my area of work securing, a position where you can work from home is unheard of. I decided however that this was the only option for me.

I began thinking about this all the time and saying over and over to my husband, “I am going to find a working from home job”. I had a list of things that it needed to be working from home 3 days per week, and I could go into the office one day per week. It also needed to be a certain income.

Right at the time when I was working on finding this job I was watching Oprah, and The Secret was on the show. I watched and knew this was for me. I got the book, then the CD, and this only further strengthened my ability to create my own reality, with the job I really needed. I focused and visualised every day.

One of the greatest gifts The Secret has given me is the power of gratitude. I practice this daily too. I also “acted as if” and canceled my daughter’s name on the C-A-R-E placement waiting list, as I would not be needing it.

To cut an enormously long story short, after a series of miracles … I now work for an organisation where I work in the office one day per week, three days from home, writing policy. The pay was exactly to the cent what I had asked for as well, and all within time. This job did not actually exist, it was literally created for me (by the organisation, and as we all know, really by the universe!!), and when I leave the organisation the position will end as well.

The story does not end there……… About 1 month after the LOA had created that job, I was practicing The Secret with daily walking meditations. The other gift the Secret and LOA has given me is the concept of the infinite abundance of resources, and that anything is possible if you believe it and know it is yours. This has been massively life changing for me.

I asked the universe to give me a business idea so that I could have my ultimate reality, and that is to have my own business from home, to be at home with my children (I have 1 more healthy growing beautiful child to come), and to have financial freedom and abundance. Within a few days an amazing idea plopped into my mind. It is perfect.

The last year has been truly miraculous. I am so proud of myself. I have created and had manufactured a new product, have a website selling them, and also have a marketing strategy to create my product for the charity merchandise custom made market. I have no experience in business and I had no idea what I was doing, but I just knew I would do it and that it is a HUGE world wide success. Of course, I have been blessed with so many people, resources, and emotional support from some key family and friends (and husband of course). In the past year I have created, had manufactured, and I am now into the marketing and brand establishment (all things I never knew about) stage of things.

I have had my business story featured in one of the main Newspapers in Sydney, in the Business Section (this was a miracle in itself, again I am so grateful).Whilst there have been many interesting moments and some times of doubt, I am determined and so grateful for all of this, and I know I have received some large orders, they are on their way.

The job the LOA created is finishing in May this year, a few months away, and I know that my business will bring me financial freedom so that I can move into it and be a full time MUM and a Full Time business woman, balancing these two roles easily. I truly believe, own it, know it, and visualise it every day. I do not need to look far to feel joy and gratitude, just into my daughter’s eyes and all around me at all that I am and all that I have created. I am acting as if. I have given away and thrown out all the resources I was keeping from my old profession, as this is not who I am anymore. I have also deleted my CV, as I will no longer be needing it, as I have my own successful business now and will not be needing to apply for any other positions. This was a massive step for me, but I believe I no longer need it.

I am so grateful for everything. I live a blessed life.
