I Never Lost My Faith.
Submitted by: Tonie Rounsville
Mount Vernon, WAI am a full blood Navajo who was adopted by two very wonderful parents. I grew up believing in God and living his word. I married at 20 and had two children. My husband died of throat cancer and that was when The Secret came into my life.
Dear Rhonda and the entire staff of The Secret,
I wish there was a way to say how thankful I am to you and all your hard working staff who created The Secret, The Power and The Magic. The only three words that can come close to my heartfelt gratitude is thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
The Secret, The Magic and The Power changed my life and the life of my son, daughter and grandchildren.
My story is about never losing your faith. I was brought up to always believe in God and all his teachings, to be a good person, follow all the golden rules and live by them, which I have done all my fifty nine years. During my life I have had good things happen to me and just as many bad things happen to me too.
When my ex-husband, who was my first love at nineteen years old and the love of my life, was diagnosed with throat cancer, it took my breath away. I was in total shock and disbelief. My son and daughter were as devastated as I was. We were by his side the entire time and the inevitable happened, he passed away a few months later. My life really took a dive and I never seemed to get back to the person I once was. Even though we were not together, we had a love that glowed and lived in both of us and it was apparent to anyone who saw us together. We had a special kind of love, a love that never dies. When he passed away, I could hardly get through a day without crying.
It was during this time when we were all praying for a miracle to save my ex-husband, that a friend shared The Secret book with my daughter. During my hours of grief and turmoil, my daughter handed me The Secret and said, Mom this book will help you. I read the book in just a few hours and it was exactly what I needed. I re-read it again and again. I bought my own copy and then I bought The Magic and The Power. It was through these three books I found my belief that one day I would have a good life again.
The next five years were filled with many obstacles and heartaches that never seemed to end. My career was not fulfilling, my relationship with my son was not good and my future looked dim and dark. I started living The Secret, The Magic and The Power every day. Before long I found a good job, a great apartment, my relationship with my son improved and my life seemed to be following a magical path to new joy and happiness.
Afew years later I was very unhappy in my career and went from job to job. I was so overcome with despair I felt I would have a heart attack, so I quit my job to save myself. I struggled to keep a roof over my head and somehow made it through with the help of friends and family. The teachings of The Secret, The Power and The Magic were still a part of my life, but I was not “really” doing the practices with a true genuine heart, so all my endeavor’s failed.
Then I finally sat down and “really” read the three books again like I had done the first time. I turn the first page. I began to feel The Magic in the words and the teachings. I started a new life like I had done before. Within a few weeks I got a job and then found a great apartment and my life was filled with joy and happiness again. After three months my job ended I kept living The Secret and kept believing I would find my dream job. Six months went by and no job, my faith was really being tested. I never gave up believing. I knew in my heart my dream job was out there waiting for me.
My unemployment was exhausted and I had no idea what I was going to do. I kept applying for jobs and then I received a phone call from a nearby University for a phone interview. The next day I went to the University for an interview. The day after that I received a job offer to work at the University in their Human Resources Department.
I could not believe it, I was in shock. I screamed with joy while tears were running down my face. Within three days I had my dream job. This is the job I have been trying to find all my life and now I can safely say this is the job I will retire on. When times were bad and then became devastatingly bad, I never lost my faith. I knew with all my heat that The Secret, The Power and The Magic would lead me to my dream job and a life filled with love, joy and happiness. It was because of my strong faith that I have a great life once again. I have a great life and I am truly happy and very grateful to The Secret, The Power and The Magic for helping me find my way. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
When times get bad, I mean really bad, don’t ever give up. Never stop believing, Never stop using The Secret it really works, if you believe!!!
