Reborn
Submitted by: Jodi L.
Manitoba, CanadaI am a very spiritual girl with strong family values. I am a geek with a vast knowledge of the mundane, who strives for excellence in everything that I do. I am beyond blessed by all that I have in my life.
I had spent many years of my life hiding behind a facade. From the outside looking in it would seem that I had it all. I had a great job, a beautiful home in a desirable area, I was considered very attractive, I dated amazing men, and was always the life of the party. People always commented on how they envied me and how my life seemed “perfect.” That could not have been further from the truth. I was $30,000 in debt, addicted to prescription painkillers, alcohol, and cigarettes, unable to have a healthy relationship due to intimacy and jealousy issues, and had been severely anorexic and bulimic for 15 years. My life was falling apart.
One night I wrote a letter to God and pleaded for help. I knew I would not be able to continue to exist without divine intervention. The next day I was visiting my Mother who happened to mention an amazing book she had read called “The Secret”. Feeling that I had nothing to lose, I obtained a copy of the book and within the first few pages, I felt something stirring within me – Hope. It was such a foreign concept to me at that point in my life, but as I read further, this hope intensified.
As I began to practice the teachings in “The Secret” my mentality shifted dramatically, I looked at my life with gratitude and optimism. I was in control! Almost immediately, I stopped smoking and drinking, and I flushed all my pills down the toilet. My financial situation was rectified after a chance meeting with a financial planner. I am well on my way to recovery for my eating disorders, and I truly love and appreciate myself, which has helped me immensely in so many aspects of my life. I have such an amazing connection to God and I feel as though at 28 I have been given a new lease on life; that I have been reborn. My potential is boundless!
I am so happy, and my personal transformation has been duly noted by those around me. I look upon each and every day as a gift and am filled with limitless love. Thank you!
