I Got Published!
Submitted by: Tracey Hayes
IrelandI am 44 years old and have lived in the Tipperary countryside with my partner Colin for 15 years. We have a farm and a beautiful 11 year old Jack Russell called Lucy. She's our furbaby. I am a 5 day a week childminder.
My dream has always been to be a published author. There is nothing quite like the feeling of walking into a book shop and seeing your name on the title of a book. At least that’s what I have been visualizing since I was young.
Ever since I started journaling at the age of 11, I have fallen in love with communicating and navigating life through the pages of writing. I am a storyteller but have kept my talent very quiet for most of my life. That was because of a lack of self-belief. How could I call myself a writer if I have never had anything published? As I attended online writing classes the tutor would say an author is someone who writes, so write.
I have been following The Secret since it first came out on DVD. That has been a while now. I have purchased many of Rhonda Byrne’s books and there is just something magical about them. So I put on my vision board that I would publish a book called “Kicking Type 2 Diabetes’s Ass”. I also said that I would publish stories in newspapers and magazines.
Before I knew it, I had submitted an idea I had been working on for years. I organized a fundraiser for a 10km walk during this bank holiday weekend and I sent my story to the local newspaper. In my mind, I believed that it was already accepted and I visualized it being in the newspaper.
I and my Jack Russel Terrier, Lucy made page 11!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The article was wonderfully crafted and edited by the journalist who shared my success story of taking back my power and managing my diabetes. I used the powerful deliberate creation and manifestation tools to visualize my body in the future to be as healthy as it can possibly be, and my mindset in the present believed that I am already there.
I am really getting this stuff! It is so mind-blowing and it really does work! I will continue to see my book with my picture and name on the front cover in my local book shop and further afield. I keep putting the work in to finish it and I trust that the Universe has got my back with the rest. I am so very grateful to The Secret and the Universe! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
