Happy Coincidences

Submitted by: Michele

Poway, CA

I have focused the last 15 years of my life raising 3 wonderful and successful children by myself. It was difficult, but my strong faith and good upbringing is what got us through. I gained many excellent qualities from both of my parents which I have relied on in many situations life has presented.

The last 15 years have been difficult, but I believe I got through them because of my faith, my intelligence, and my talents. I do believe that I have been positive to a certain point, otherwise I would not have done as well as I have. I would not have raised 3 wonderful and successful children. I would not have gotten through all the tough times. I would not be as talented as I am. I would not be as successful as I am. But there has always been something missing. I wish I had known about “The Secret” all along, we could have done so much better. Life without worry, stress, or fear would have been wonderful. I will never forget the day my son came to me at 11 years old and told me he knew what God’s name is…. Murphy. You know, from Murhpy’s law? It actually became a joke in our family, every time something went wrong we would just look at each other and say matter of factly, “God’s name is Murphy”. We thought we were using humor as a coping mechanism. It turns out, according to the law of attraction we were actually prolonging our difficult times. It would have been so much better if we had known about the Genie.

Well, 15 years later, we are all gratefully successful in most areas of our lives. We must have had some pretty worn out guardian angels though. Of course I am a pretty tired Mom too. I was working two jobs and caring for my oldest adult child and his wife as they are both disabled. At the same time I have been trying to devote as much time as I can to my last child at home who turns 18 in March 2008. My middle child is in the military. I let my secondary job go but still continued to do the work of 3 people at my primary job. I had finally reached “Work Burnout” November 2007. I scheduled myself for a one month vacation to work on myself.

A fellow employee begged me to promise that I would read “The Secret”. I bought the book and it has completely changed my life. I have shared it with everyone I care about. My youngest (who is still at home with me) and I have been having so much fun with it! I wish we had started to log all the amazing things that have happened since learning “The Secret”. My daughter and I have gotten into the habit of sharing daily what we call our “Happy Coincidences”. I read the book the last week of December 2007, and we are both so amazed by the frequency and speed that our “Happy Coincidences” occur. Our attitudes and our daily lives have improved so dramatically that I don’t really care what else materializes, I am just so completely grateful that I FEEL GOOD, and I mean almost all the time.

I have always believed in the power of prayer, so for me “The Secret” is not instead of prayer but in addition to it. I am so excited to see what else unfolds in our lives, especially now that I will be beginning a new chapter of my life. I am most grateful that I have learned “The Secret”. The best part that I have learned is, the more people you share it with the more “Happy Coincidences” you will get to share. It is an incredible way to live, and I mean really LIVE!
