Small Miracles!

oregonI went through a rough 2014 and it carried over into 2015. My younger sister passed away unexpectedly and shook our already loose family. I decided to end my relationship with my children's father of 13 years, change jobs and move all in this time. I've suffered from depression and anxiety. But, I am writing a new life for myself. I could've easily dismissed this all for BS. I saw The Secret movie years ago when it first came out, yet did nothing. But now I can feel and see the changes happen.
I started practicing the LOA and gratitude this year. In April of 2015 I got notice from my landlord that the home I lived in would be sold and so I had to move. I saw this at first as a blessing- “Now I can move closer to my family”, I thought. But, it quickly became a nightmare. I was homeless bouncing from house to house. I felt hopeless because I was denied, due to bad credit, for multiple apartments and homes. The worst was that my children were in distress. Then I had to send them to live with their father which was hard, but I believed a necessary step towards me being grateful for all I had.
I did sometimes waiver from the practices I won’t lie, I was down and out, but then it happened!! I decided to keep it up and really feel the gratefulness of the roof over my head that I did have. I was never outside in the rain like so many others, so I was very grateful. I got a room, with my mother who had also become homeless for two months. This lit a fire under me, and I was more grateful than ever. I practiced and practiced.
Then out of the blue, I got a call in the morning while going to work. It was from an apartment complex I was on a waiting list for. I didn’t even member signing up, but the universe did! I had to take more steps and update my contact info, so I did. A week later I got a call that two apartments are now available so I should apply. My credit was still horrible mind you, although I had paid off one bill for $300 to help clear my debt, I still owed at least $3000. The little voice inside reminded me of this fact as I applied. I silenced that voice by saying it doesn’t matter! You will get this apartment because you deserve it!!!! I visualized and felt what it would be like to move in and get the keys, sign the lease, anything I could.
Without any real explanation or reason why, I got a call two days ago that was accepted!!.
The same process is happening with a great job at a prestigous hospital I applied for months ago and forgot about. The pay is exactly what I have on my magical list of what I want to make!!
When you KNOW it has worked, there is no turning back, my life will only get better from here on!!!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
