I read The Secret shortly after it was published and found it to be an amazing and life-changing book. Since then I have practiced its principles in my life.

Recently I discovered Rhonda’s new book, The Power, which I read from cover to cover in about a day, highlighting all of my favorite parts. Since reading it, I have tried religiously to practice gratitude for everything that I have, from the simplest things that most of us take for granted like hot running water, to larger things, as well as sending out love to everyone I meet, including people that I have not felt positively about. It has not even been a week and I am noticing some amazing “coincidences” – obviously not coincidences, because everything does happen for a reason.

Some examples have been attracting a car that I was looking for, and then running into a family friend who said his wife works at the car dealership where I found my car. I have also attracted money, and a possible new job, among many other things. I find it amazing that all of these positive things are happening in my life at such a fast pace, and I am excited to see what will happen next. I also chose a “Secret symbol,” red roses, because I absolutely adore them, and cannot wait to see how quickly my symbol will manifest itself.

I am trying hard to think only positive thoughts about the people in my life and the events that are taking place. I am choosing not to talk about anything negative that has happened in the past and working to avoid projecting negative thoughts and attitudes about how particular situations will turn out. This book has been life changing and I want to thank Rhonda Byrne from the bottom of my heart for such an inspirational and important book.
