Oh my goodness, where do I begin?

I was raised in a loving Catholic home with happy times, but not much money. I was very shy and never really had friends. I used to pray to God all the time for others, but never really for myself. I was taught that for me to want things was in a way selfish, so whenever I went to church I would pray for my family and all families. Every time I prayed, I felt this strong presence inside me and I would get the chills. I never really knew what this meant…

Before I met my husband my life was a real mess. I had tried suicide a couple of times but it never worked (Thank God!!). I was so depressed and just not happy. I turned to the party scene thinking that would make me happy. For a little while it did but I still went home to be all alone. I remember asking God for someone who would love me and treat me like a queen. About a month later a co-worker set me up on a blind date with a great guy and we just instantly were in love. We have been happily married for 20 years now.

When I was a child I used to dream of having twins (girl and boy). I also wanted to name my first born daughter after my sister who died 3 days after being born. Our first born is a daughter and she is named after my sister. Our second born is a son and guess what? They are only 13 months apart. No, they are not twins, but they act like twins and everyone they went to school with always thought they twins.

Now, I am Hispanic and my hubby is white. Our first daughter has green eyes and light brown hair, and our son has blonde hair and blue eyes. One day I remember thinking, “I love my children but I would love to have one that looks like me…” Yes, our third daughter looks just like me – family members and friends tell us all the time that she looks just like me! I named her Faith.

All I have just said happened way before I discovered The Secret! Although I am sooo happy for my husband and children, I felt like my life still wasn’t right… I was missing some link. I would think, “What is it I am missing? I have my perfect family,” but finances were always a struggle.

When I would shop at Walmart I would look at the books. Every time I would see two rows of the book “The Secret”. I would look at the cover and think, “Wow, that’s a nice cover.” I don’t remember ever picking up the book. This experience repeated itself for about a month and a half.

One day I decided to order the book for work. The week after I ordered that book for work I went to Walmart and the book section, and do you know what??? There was not one single copy of The Secret anywhere… Sooo when I received my copy of “The Secret”, I took it home to read and I read that book in little over a day. It was like I was addicted to this whole concept of creating my universe. I watched the movie too! And I cried, all happy tears, that I wasn’t crazy… lol.

One evening my husband and I were walking into a restaurant and a very nice man was holding the door open for us. My husband asked him, “How’s it going?” And you know what? That nice man looked me straight in my eyes and said, “I am the Master of my Universe.” Those exact words!! I will never forget it. My body was warm and tingling the moment he said that to me. Even now I got the chills… great feeling!

Now I have so many more experiences which have happened to me (all before I even knew about The Secret), but my intention is to help others believe and have faith that The Secret does indeed work!!

Many Thanks and Much Gratitude to all of you who helped me to see that I AM SO MUCH MORE AND I AM SPECIAL… MASTER OF MY UNIVERSE!
