Greece43 year old Greek Canadian moved with husband and child to Greece for a better quality of life. Designer and owner of www.simplysublime.ca ....lost every penny when moved to Greece
It began 4 years ago when my husband and I decided to move from Canada to a warmer climate. Being of Greek descent my hubby and I thought it would be the best move. So we took our 4 month old and bought our dream villa and moved to Greece. Little did we know that the nightmare was about to begin. Everything that could go wrong did. We were taken advantage from the first day we arrived. Our money literally vanished…we were quoted one price and charged another…before long everything we had was taken….even our car! My health was going downhill fast! This dream had become a nightmare it was hard not to be negative as the cherry on top was when our villa started “sliding down the cliff”. The heavy rains washed away our road and we soon found out that the sellers, and the engineers papers were forged that the stability of the house was ok so that they could sell it! It would cost at least 50,000 euros to fix and we were literally scrounging for money to buy groceries. Down to selling my wedding rings. Then little miracles started happening my husband and I reread The Secret and vowed to start thinking positively. It was very hard after all we had been through but we had to for our son. I started visuallizing that we would be ok …..we needed to pay for my medicine and we didn’t have enough but I believed I would have my medication.
So I called the pharmacist who I didn’t know very well because she was holding the bottles for me and told her that I could only afford the one and if it was ok for her to hold the other until I had more money. What I heard from the other end of the telephone had me in tears! She told me not to worry that she would give them to me and I could pay her whenever I had the money! I had tears of joys as I had envisioned it in my head that I would somehow get the medicine.
I was so floored by this miracle that I emailed my friend to tell her and without hesitation she told me she wanted to give me a gift and to check my Paypal account. She had deposited $300!!! I knew then that The Secret was working its magic! I will keep praying and visualizing and I know that somehow we will receive the money to fix our home before it completely slips down the cliff! I TRULY in my heart believe we will be ok 🙂 Thank you Rhonda for writing this wonderful book! Thank you!
