Knew The Secret Long Before It Was Cool To Know The Secret.

Barrie, ON52 year old female, childless, independent, artsy/musical, spiritual, favourite Aunt. I love to love, I smile and say hello to strangers, offer up random acts of kindness daily, firmly believe in and practice The Secret. I wear my heart on my sleeve and get hurt easily and sometimes my saucy Irish temper gets the better of me but I forgive quickly. I love animals and all sentient beings. I sign animal petitions daily and donate to worthy animal causes when I can.
Twenty years ago my marriage ended and I was facing the world scared and apprehensive. My favourite hobby at the time was painting ceramics. I had elaborately painted a ceramic sun. While I was painting I envisioned my new apartment and the colour scheme it would have. I deliberately painted the sun a royal blue, deep purple and yellow. My new home would be painted in these colours.
A year later I moved from Kingston to Toronto and stayed with friends as I started my new life. Well, my bedroom was decorated in blues and purples. I was ecstatic! Wow! I thought, it’s starting. 3 months later I moved to another apartment and had a roommate. After a year of sharing accommodations, I was ready for my own place and began apartment hunting.
One sunny afternoon in May I checked out a place and was awestruck. It was brightly painted, the living room was a gorgeous royal blue colour, the kitchen was a lovely butter yellow and the bedroom was a beautiful dark lilac purple! I stood there with chills running up and down my spine! This is “my” place I thought. The landlord was waiting in a cafe downstairs with applications. I ran downstairs to fill out an application. He stated that many people had already looked at the apartment and filled out applications.
As I filled out the application he kept staring at me, almost lovingly and I was mildly uncomfortable. Then he very softly stated that he felt that he had found his ideal tenant, me. He told me that he wanted me as his tenant and that he was not showing it to anyone else after that. I could not believe my phenomenal luck. Wow!! I thought, not only did I find “my” ideal apartment already painted in my favourite colours but the landlord also wanted me as his tenent! I moved in 3 weeks later.
After that positive experience I truly understood the saying: “The Universe works in mysterious ways”. I have since read many spiritual books by well known authors such as Wayne W. Dyer, Chris Prentiss, Jack Canfield and a host of other well knowns. I stumbled upon The Secret last year in a used book store. I paid $1 for my copy, how cool is that!? I practice the lessons in The Secret daily and wink at the Universe and blow it a kiss when “stuff happens”.
If The Secret can work for me at a time when Rhonda’s book did not even exist yet, then it most certainly will work for you now that it does exist! Thanks Rhonda!
Love Terri
