My Rainbow

Submitted by: Wilma

Cape Town, South Africa

I am a 42 year old mother of two beautiful children and wife to the most incredible man. I work in personal development. I am a sister, a daughter, a cousin. I am on the most amazing journey of discovery....

My name is Wilma and I am a 42 year old mother of 2. I moved from the UK to Cape Town 4 years ago and have been struggling with many challenges over that time. I first read The Secret when I arrived in Cape Town, and although I thought I was practicing the steps, I understand now it was without real understanding of it. I really hit rock bottom at the beginning of this year and was in a place of blaming criticizing and desperation. My mind kept taking me back to The Secret, but I was dismissive at first because I believed it had not worked before. Back in April, I came across The Power in a book shop, but thought “Oh, I don’t have the money for that right now” and walked away. At my lowest, at the beginning of June, I felt compelled to check out The Secret website and started reading all these stories from real people for whom the practices had worked. I read through my copy again and 2 days ago finally got hold of a copy of The Power. The last few weeks has seen a real change in me; I am positive and loving to my husband and family, and have been lucky to receive insights and understandings that I did not acknowledge before. I feel strongly that I am being taken on a journey with ever increasing understandings revealed. But the most amazing thing happened to me yesterday. After reading The Power in 2 days and really practicing its teachings, I asked, as Rhonda suggested,for a physical embodiment of the love I am sending out and receiving. I asked to be shown it in the form of a rainbow. I left work at 5pm, as it’s winter here, the sun would be going down shortly so I knew I would not see an actual rainbow, but I looked around for a picture or something. All evening I kept my eyes open. I saw a couple of times some beautiful rainbow like colours as waves (not the rainbow shape) on taxis that passed me and I wondered if that was my rainbow? No, I knew that my rainbow would be a proper shaped rainbow. Around 7pm, my family and I were invited to my sister-in-law’s for a get together, so we stopped at a take away to get some snacks. I caught site of a bunch of charity tins by the side of the till as I was paying. One in particular caught my eye – it had a disturbing (and famous) picture of a crouching, staving child. I knew that I should put some money in that particular tin. Just to take you back a couple of steps. I have always considered myself to be a generous person, but too often my belief has been, “I can’t afford to give, I’m living hand to mouth myself, when I can afford it I will be more generous”. In the last two days, twice I have been approached for food, firstly by two teenage boys, then yesterday lunchtime by an old man. On both occasions I did give them something, but as I reached into my purse my thought were, ‘I can’t give that much because I will need that for….”. As I stood by the till, knowing I should give to this tin, I looked into my purse and saw I only had my taxi fare for the next day. I made a decision right there that I will give with an open and loving heart all that I am able to give, and I sent loving thoughts to that child in the picture. The moment I put my coins into the tin, I gasped. The tin right next to it (which I did not even notice before!) had two perfect rainbows on it – my rainbows! The picture was surrounded by the faces of happy smiling children and it was even called ‘The Rainbow Fund’. I smiled from ear to ear realizing that had my decision been to ignore my instinct, thinking it’s more important to keep my taxis fare for me, I would never have seen my rainbow.

For me I now know without a doubt that I am never alone, I am being supported, guided and ‘held in the palm of the hand’ of the divine. I have the confidence and love (including self-love) I have not had for a very long time. Though not always easy, I have had to be extremely aware not to indulge in gossip, criticism, blaming and negativity (sometimes not succeeding!), and I am now aware of how much we all do indulge in these things so quickly and easily.

I hope my story inspires, as other stories I have read have inspired me these last few months. Thank you to each and everyone of you, especially to you and your team Rhonda, I have since found other books, written before yours and with the same message. But your books, dvds and websites have told the story in a way we can truly understand and relate to. I send my love and wishes for the health and abundance of each and every one of you, your loved ones, your cities and your countries.

Thank you, Thank you!
