Receiving the secret: In more ways than one

Submitted by: MANIKA TOWNS-MILLER

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

I'M AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN IN MY LATE 20's. I AM A CHRISTIAN AND I LOVE THE LORD. I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF STARTING MY OWN BUSINESS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR AND COUNTING RELATIONSHIP THAT IS ABOUT TO TURN INTO A MARRIAGE WITH A VERY WONDERFUL MAN WHOM I LOVE DEARLY.

ONE DAY UPON VISITING WITH MY FAVORITE AUNT CAMEEKA SHE SUGGESTED THAT WE WATCH THIS FILM. NOW MIND YOU THAT I WAS REALLY TOO TIRED TO DO ANYTHING, BUT I AGREED ANYWAY. WE WATCHED THE BEGINNING AND IMMEDIATELY MY ATTENTION WAS FOCUSED ON THE MOVIE. I FOUND THE WILL TO STAY AWAKE AND SEE JUST WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT I WAS VERY INTRIGUED AND THAT CURIOSITY TURNED INTO A BLESSING. MY AUNT FELL ASLEEP AFTER CONSTANTLY TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT I WAS STILL WATCHING. HA HA HA. ANYWAY I WAS TRULY INSPIRED TO SET OUT AND TRY SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WAS TALKED ABOUT IN THE MOVIE.

THE FIRST THING THAT I REMEMBERED TO DO WAS MAKE A BOARD FOR ALL OF THE THINGS I WANTED TO POSSESS TO BE PUT ON IT. I CUT OUT ALL OF THE PICTURES OF THE THINGS THAT I WANTED AND HUNG THEM HIGH. A FEW DAYS LATER MY BOYFRIEND(SOON TO BE HUSBAND)AND I GOT INTO A SMALL SPAT AND I BECAME ENRAGED WITH A FEW THINGS THAT WERE NOT GOING ON IN MY LIFE AND TORE THE BOARD UP. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I WAS VISITING MY BOYFRIEND’S JOB WHEN I NOTICED THAT THEY WERE SELLING THE SECRET BOOK. I BECAME VERY EXCITED BECAUSE MY AUNT WOULD NOT LET ME BORROW HER FILM, SO I SAW AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO HAVE MY VERY OWN COPY OF THE SECRET. BUT I DIDN’T HAVE ANY MONEY AT THE TIME SO I SAT DOWN AND BEGAN TO READ SOME OF IT. I WAS THERE FOR MORE THAN 30 MINUTES WHEN I SAID “I’VE GOT TO GET THIS BOOK” OVER AND OVER AGAIN. THEN I CHANGED IT AROUND AND SAID “I’M GONNA GET THIS BOOK TODAY NO MATTER WHAT.” SO I WENT TO MY BOYFRIEND AND ASKED HIM. HE REFUSED ME BECAUSE HE’S A BIT OF A SKEPTIC AND YOU KNOW HOW THEY CAN BE SOMETIMES. BUT I DIDN’T WORRY, I JUST KEPT REPEATING OVER AGAIN IN MY HEAD THAT I’M GONNA GET THIS BOOK.

THROUGHOUT THE DAY I KEPT THE FAITH AND LEFT IT TO THE UNIVERSE AND NEEDLESS TO SAY I RECEIVED THE BOOK 2 DAYS LATER. HA HA. AND DO YOU KNOW THE FIRST THING THAT I DID WHEN I GOT HOME? I MADE ANOTHER WISH BOARD ONLY BETTER THIS TIME. SINCE RECEIVING THE BOOK I HAVE BEGUN TO APPLY ITS TEACHINGS TO EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE. THANK YOU UNIVERSE AND THANK YOU MS. RHONDA BYRNE AND ALL THE OTHER TEACHERS FOUND IN THE BOOK.
MUCH LOVE AND SUCCESS TO ALL OF YOU MANIKA T.
