It’s been 6 days since he packed up, shared tears with me and then walked out of our home… (we both knew it had to happen).

We still love and care for one another very much, but it wasn’t working after 5 years, it became so negative for us both for many reasons including his family coming between us right from the beginning (we were exhausted & heart broken over it all). I feel empty inside and despite everything we are both feeling as though we lost our best friend. In the end we agreed the decision was for the best.

Now for the positive…
Later on, on that same day a friend of mine reminded me to read “The Secret” again and to go onto this website and to begin applying it to my life as much as I felt I possibly could at this time. I waited until Monday, Dec.17th, 2012 before I felt I was able to do so.

Here is my simple story, but a positive start that makes me believe that it’s already working and is encouraging me to continue with it:

**When I opened my copy of The Secret I had written a note to myself back in 2007 that it had helped me along with the support of my faith, family and friends and in memory of my Nan who had passed in July of that year. After reading parts of the book and several of these positive stories here on the website… I decided to start with something small such as, on Dec. 17th, 2012 I noted on a sticky note and stuck it in the back of the book that I wanted to see a hummingbird. I hadn’t seen one for quite some time and I connect them with being a sign from my Nan as in the past I seemed to see them when I was missing her & needing her most. This morning I woke up feeling empty and with a pit in my stomach and wanting to stay in bed, I got up, got showered and came to work as I have, but struggled to all week. I stepped outside and as I walked by a tree I heard a buzzing, a humming sound… I almost ignored it and I almost didn’t stop to look, because I was deep in my thoughts of loss and sadness, but then I stopped in my tracks, turned and looked and there it was “my hummingbird” and in my mind a sign that my Nan is still here when life is hard and I need her the most. It gave me an overwhelming feeling of hope for the future and warmed my heart, and put a slight smile on my face.
