I have always known very little about the LOA, and I was introduced to “The Secret” while deployed to Iraq last November. I was joking around with my friends and said, “I sure wish the universe would give us a ride back to work.” A guy at a table next to us said to me, “Oh you must have read that book The Secret.” I told him that I had never heard of the book and I was just talking about the LOA. The conversation went on from there.

My interest was peaked now that I knew that there could be more to this LOA than I had thought. I got to work and researched the book and bought it for my Kindle. I put its principles into action immediately. I saw some changes in my life but not like I wanted.

I had my 30th birthday about two weeks ago and I was determined to figure out what it was that I was doing wrong. At this time the military had messed up my pay and I couldn’t pay my rent or buy groceries. I had no idea where the money was going to come from. I just kept telling myself that it was coming. I asked the Universe what I was doing wrong and believed that it would show me. I watched the DVD daily and downloaded samples of other books about the LOA (I couldn’t afford the whole book). Then is hit me. I had been saying all these months that “I want this” and “I want that” – and I would continue to want. So I purposed that I would change my speech and thoughts to: “I have all the money that I could ever need or want right now.” As I turned onto my street I said out loud to myself, “I wonder how much that check is that’s waiting in my mailbox.”

I checked the mail and there was a letter there from the bank that I had 3 years ago. I knew that after a bad break up with my ex that I owed them money. I just said, “This is my check, I just know it.” I opened the letter and wanted to pass out. It was a check for close to $800 and a letter stating that I was receiving the remaining balance on the account that had been closed 3 years ago, minus the $1005 owed to the bank and the $7 for the cashier’s check. That’s over $1800. I was floored.

And the crazy thing is I’ve MOVED 3 TIMES since banking with them and the check came to my new address. I’ve only been here a couple of months now.

I’m so glad that I now know how to use The Secret properly. Thanks to God and the Universe. I know that this is just the first day of the best days of my life.
