From rags too riches

Submitted by: Emma. H

England

I'm 28 years old and a mum to two beautiful children.

Hi, I just want to start by saying thank you, thank you, thank you. My life had been a big jumble of loss, sadness and depression. I felt frustrated, lost with no real self worth. I had a beautiful son whose now five. I loved him and my partner dearly, but at the time of becoming a mum, we had no fixed address. My partner who is a lovely kind person had no emotional support from any member of his family, work was hit and miss, and our son contracted mengiccocal meningitis. The last seven years we have carried a big weight of financial worry, health worries and been very angry with the world and those who we felt had let us down.

I had my beautiful daughter in 2009. By this time I had a great job, so did my partner and we were buying a home. But then the same demons of the past got in the way; we started fretting about money, my daughter was diagnosed with a heart condition, I was made redundant, the same as my partner did. We lost all our money and were homeless again. This caused me to be more bitter with the world. I felt like a failure and it put strain on our relationship.

One year ago a great friend of mine whose mum had let us stay with her, gave me a book and DVD. I had seen her in the past reading this book, talking to herself in the mirror and writing checks to herself, and if I’m honest I thought she was mad. Who would possibly give themselves false hope? Life was a struggle and I had resigned to the fact that mine would be this way forever more. But as I see her life radically change for the better, I decided I would be open minded and read the book and watch the DVD that was given to me and that was THE SECRET.

As soon as I started reading The Secret I felt drawn to it and started putting it into practice. I started with car parking spaces, then saying thank you every morning and night. Every bill I got I said thank you to the companies for their services. I thanked ATM machines, I thanked the universe for mine and my children’s health, I discussed The Secret with friends (who thought I was mad), I stopped watching the news and I came of Facebook and always looked for positives to be grateful for in every situation.

My partner also started reading The Secret and whenever one of us started to fret, we would hand the other the book.

I can honestly say our lives have changed dramatically for the best; we now have fantastic relationships with our family, we receive checks in the post and very few bills, my partner is in his dream job, both our children have 100 per cent health and love life. I too have been offered my dream job, my car has not broken down since reading The Secret (it used to breakdown a lot, costing small fortunes), we have a first family holiday booked and our wedding, and as I’m writing this, we are in the process of receiving our dream home. We are now surrounded by great positive friends and nothing seems impossible.

We are truly grateful for our amazing life and are excited for our future. I was a non believer turned believer and will never look back.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
