My Earliest Secret Memory
Submitted by: David Mclaughlin
Scotland UKI am married with 2 children and I live in Scotland. My wife and I are looking to move house and push our business forward. We make hand-crafted jewellery and stained glass items.
When I was a boy, 11 years old, I met my first girlfriend, who lived next door to me. It was summer and it was her birthday, so I used my pocket money to buy her a small silver cross pendant – it was approx 1/2 inch long. On the day of her birthday we went for a walk in the sunshine to a little wooded area near my house. We sat in a clearing in the trees – I chose that spot because the sunshine was beaming through the trees. I gave her the present, which she loved, and she changed the cross on to a chain she was wearing as it was a stronger one. We sat for some time and then decided it was time to go home, as it was dinner time.
After we got back and both went in to our homes and had dinner, and afterwards I went back out to see her and she was very upset as she had not put the clip on the chain properly and the cross was missing. I told her not to cry and that I would go and find it for her. She asked me how I would be able to find it in the wooded area we went to. I said, ‘Don’t worry, I will.’ I closed my eyes and put my hands over my face and put the image of the cross in my mind of where I thought it would be. I set off and I went straight to the area, and after a minute or so there it was sticking out of a clump of heavy bladed grass. I don’t know how I knew I would find it, but I did. She was so happy and amazed that I had found it.
It has only came to my mind recently, as I have been introduced to The Secret and I have had answers to many things that I have wished for over the years. I had never told anyone, as I did not want people to be negative about it, and I wanted it to be true that there a was something more to life. I want you to know that I am so grateful to you for giving The Secret to my life, and I send love and positivity to the Entire Secret Team – you are all so special and have given me and my family a wonderful outlook to our future. We have more stories to tell, as the more we practice the Secret the more we realise that it has been a part of our lives from the day we are born. Bless you all xxxx
