In January of this year, I was laid off from my company after 17 years.

Before I gave into depression and wailing, I searched through my stack of books and there was The Magic. I started reading it and it HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Rhonda and the Universe.

Being laid off turned out to be the best thing that could have happened. Since last fall my company had been getting rid of clients and the clients that I was handling were not giving us much work. The result is that I spent 8 hours a day hunting for work or creating work. It was very stressful trying to keep busy every day and it was also very stressful to be getting paid when I was not truly working the full 8 hours.

Because of The Magic, I was able to be grateful and thankful that I got laid off. I was able to give thanks that the stress I had been under was gone!

All the things that I needed to get through this time had come true. I got a severance amount larger than the normal 2 weeks. I started getting unemployment money.

I am also working with my financial adviser towards getting my retirement worked out and he is an angel and has helped quiet any concerns and fears. He also just transferred some extra money I had that was not considered retirement money and it will pay for most of the rent this month.

Now I have all the time that I need to do the lessons in The Magic. I am joyful, thankful and grateful.

My landlord is going to raise our rent. I am still grateful to have the apartment but I believe this is the Universe telling us that the move that I wanted to make to Dover, NH should happen sooner. All family is there and it is time for me to once again live near them and be part of the unit. My sister even offered us her basement. Not that I want to live in a basement but it was wonderful that she offered and to know that I would never be homeless. I also got in contact with my cousin who offered me help if I needed it. She is wealthy and while I would not ask her for money, it was lovely that she offered her help.

I still have and want big things in my wish list. A house, car, get out of debt, lots of money to help others, foster dogs and cats, etc. And I am happily waiting for the Universe to provide me with all my desires.
