Overflowing With Gratitude and Joy Now!

Let me start out by saying Thank You, Thank You, Thank you to Rhonda and “The Secret” team!
About six years ago, I purchased The Secret and read it in about three days. It was a “good book” but I failed to put it’s principles into practice, so nothing changed. I continued to have the “why me” attitude. My family continued to struggle, my finances were struggling and my negativity was flourishing. I definitely had a victim mentality and knew I needed a big change in my life. Then, I just happened to notice “The Secret”, leaning on my bookshelf as I was dusting. I began to read it again, very slowly, so that I could process each chapter over the following day. Then I downloaded the audio book onto my phone, so I could listen while I was driving. (Rhonda, your voice is so calming and soothing-a pleasure to listen to.)
As I listened and replayed the audio over and over for about three months, I realized that I picked up different key points that I had not truly heard before. That really helped me stay focused. Then I purchased “The Magic” on ibooks. I began reading it each night before bed and also on my lunch hour. As I did this for several months, I saw my attitude shift. I began to be grateful and positive and the results were transforming!
My seventeen year old son, whom I raised, decided he never wanted to see me again and chose to go live with his father. Despite my efforts, we didn’t communicate for fourteen months. Two days ago, after practicing the exercise on relationships in “The Magic” I received a text out of the blue from him. We are meeting for dinner tomorrow! I am so happy and excited!!!
My current husband of eleven years is the love of my life. We get along beautifully but we were feeding off each other’s negativity, until I began sharing the knowledge I learned from “The Secret” and “The Magic.” He began practicing the same principles and now we are both happier with life and our relationship is even closer than before. It is as if we are on the same team, cheering each other on.
Last night, we decided to go to a local store to play some slot machine type games. I had always thought of myself as “unlucky” in the past. Now, I continually remind myself that money comes easily and frequently. My machine began to hit small wins (1.60, 4.00, etc). After each win, I would say and feel THANK YOU. My wins got bigger and bigger. On one spin, I hit a win for over 300.00. That had never happened before and I said THANK YOU all the way home. 😉
There is still alot of work to be done to break old habits of negativity, but I continue to read and study both books as my life is transforming before my eyes. I thank God for these books and for the one’s who authored them, for helping to open my eyes and for my thirst for more knowledge because I AM THE AUTHOR OF MY LIFE. God bless you all.
