After leaving an emotionally draining relationship over two years ago, I was left struggling and living in the worst neighbourhood in the city. I couldn’t walk in the evening with my daughter because it was too dangerous. My boyfriend and I started to look for a house even though we did not have enough money saved. We thought we would just look and prepare before we would actually have enough money to buy one in a year or two. We looked at several houses and did not find anything that met our eye.

After starting to read “The Secret,” my mood changed. I started to believe that we were moving and getting out of this terrible place. Finally we walked into a house and I instantly knew this was MY house. It even had the word ‘Believe’ written on a plaque hung on the wall. I cut out a picture of the house and wrote on it, ‘This is MY house.’ We put in a bid for the house and they accepted after a little haggling. Now we had to come up with the money to pay a deposit, after being refused by a family member I knew it was not time to give up. Later that day another relative transferred the money into my boyfriend’s account unexpectedly and we were on our way. The financing came through, we just squeaked by, but we are moving into our beautiful new home in a month! Just a week after beginning The Secret, my perspective has changed and I truly feel the gratitude and I know that things are only getting better!
