Dear Rhonda,

Thank you so much for sharing The Secret with the whole world! If it wasn’t for you, I would never be so happy as I am now, knowing about The Secret. I owe this first of all to you.

Before I read The Secret, my life was never the way I wished it to be. Already in my childhood, I was bullied in school and was always left out. My parents were very strict with me, mostly keeping me at home and I didn’t really have any friends. Not only that, since I was 3 years old I had diabetes and was told I would never in my life be healthy and would have to live with this disease. Growing up with this belief I had no hope of getting better or having a life without insulin shots.

As I grew up and got out of school, there was so much that I wanted to do, like write my own book and study. However, all I ever heard from everyone around me was, you’re not going to make that, your not good enough, and things like that. So everything I started to do, I gave up quickly, saying to myself, “They’re right, I can’t do this.” I never had enough money to live on my own or to buy nice things and was always drowning in bills. I always wished for a wonderful partner, who would love me the way I do him. Every time I would meet someone, I found my heart ripped into pieces.

For a long time in my life, I would just lay in bed, thinking about suicide. I did not want to go through all this pain anymore. But all that time I was just wishing desperately for something that would help me and that all this bad in my life could just change into good.

One day, about 4 years ago, I went shopping and I stumbled across The Secret. The book was packed in plastic so I could not read what was in it. I just read what was on the backside of the book and thought that it sounded good, for I have always loved to read books.

I began to read it and could not believe what I was reading. I asked myself, could this be real? Is it a sign from God? But I never believed in God because of my horrible and depressing life. Because I just did not want to believe this, I gave up hope quickly, as I had always done.

After about 1 year, I started a new job and everyone was working with The Secret. I was surrounded by happy people who loved their lives, and we would sit once a week together, talking about great things, and about how thoughts become things. This made me believe that somehow it must work. During this time I was feeling hopeless and broken again.

Then I started living with The Secret and today, I am together with the love of my life. It seems that we were really born for each other and next year we are going to get married.

At this time, I am finally writing my first novel and when I sit down with my Laptop, the words just magically come flying out of my fingers and I am creating a whole new world, right out of my head.

For the first time in my life I have lots of money, coming out of nowhere and I can pay all my bills and buy wonderful things for me, my love and my family. It is really like a miracle and now I am so happy to be me and to be alive and healthy.

By the way, after 18 years of having diabetes, I am now fully healed. I can eat what I want and when I want and my pancreas is suddenly working fine, as if it was doing so my whole life. Now, with every step I take and everything I do, even if it is just to brush my teeth, I say thank you. But all that in German 🙂
