Leap Of Faith
Submitted by: Barbara S.
Ocala, FLA 59 year old medical professional, married for 35 years and mother of 3 wonderful children and 1 beautiful grandchild.
My oldest son gave me his copy of The Secret about six years ago and told me I should read it, as it was changing his life.
I read it, bought the movie and the audio tapes. I listened to the tapes till I worn them out. I changed so many things in my life it was unbelievable. I told everyone about it and even gave audio tapes as gifts to friends and family.
Then two years ago the greatest gift came into our lives, a beautiful, healthy baby girl. Our granddaughter was and is the joy of our life. She and her parents (my daughter and son-in-law) lived with us so we were able to enjoy her every day.
Then when she was four months old, my son-in-law was offered a good job in a small but beautiful horse ranching town in the northern part of the state we live in. It was too good of an offer to turn down, so they packed up and moved. My husband and I were devastated!
We decided to take a leap of faith to be close to our greatest joy. I decided to follow The Secret and my heart, so I left my job of 15 years, sold our home and without a job, house or friends, moved to the little town my children had moved to.
I never once thought we would have difficulty finding a job or a new house. I was following my heart! We rented a small house two blocks from my grandbaby, and I decided to not even look for a job for 3 months in order to enjoy my daughter, granddaughter and this beautiful little town. My husband got a job right away, doing just what he had done for years.
When I decided to go back to work, I went to a job fair, put in several resumes and got a call for an interview the next week. I went to the interview and got the job.
The amazing part of all this is the job I got paid the same amount as what I had made at my old job, the work was more exciting, the cost of living was half of where we had moved from, and after I started working my co-workers were amazed. They all said that this area is a depressed job market area and very hard to find any jobs, much less one as great as I got. I wasn’t amazed, this is what I had asked for and it brought me to my children. I knew The Secret!
One year after moving to this wonderful little town, we found our dream house, nestled in the shade of one hundred year old granddaddy oak trees, on four acres behind a big beautiful horse ranch.
I now sit in my swing under the oak tree with my adorable granddaughter and watch the horses frolic and run. Life is good and all thanks to The Secret and a leap of faith!
