Los Angeles, CA24 year old makeup artist with big dreams! An aunt, a sister, a cousin, a daughter.
I moved in to live with my older sister a couple of months ago to help her take care of her 10 year old twin daughters. She works a lot, and she does everything for her daughters. She tries to buy them what they need and she adores them so much. She is such an amazing mom. Sometimes because of her work hours, it is difficult for her to spend a lot of time with them, but she always manages to be with them when they need her the most. When she gets out of work early she takes them for an ice cream or to the park, she is amazing. She is never tired for them.
My sisters marriage fell apart about 2 months ago when she found out he was cheating. It was devastating for her to find out and my nieces found out as well. It was very sad to see my sister, who is a very strong and firm woman, so down and crying everyday. She stopped eating. Work became a way out. A way to forget about what was happening. She maintained herself so busy to a point that she would exhaust herself. My nieces had the whole support from me, my mom, my other sister, and my dad. We were with them and still are during this process. We have always been a very close family, and always being there for each other.
Seeing my sister like this was breaking me apart. We have always been very close to each other. I wanted her to get better and I wanted to see her how she used to be, which was happy. I didn’t wanted to see her in any more pain because she didn’t deserve it.
When I was in the makeup academy, my instructor gave all of her students a DVD of The Secret. I saw this video about a year ago and I totally forgot about it. But then about 6 moths ago, I saw The Secret book on my mom’s book shelf. As soon as I saw it, I remembered how wonderful it made me feel when I saw the DVD. So right away I took it, and I told my sister to read it. At first she didn’t wanted to but I insisted so much, until she did!
I couldn’t be more grateful and thankful that she read it. It’s been about a month that she has read the book, and I see her with such a better attitude. My sister is coming back! I am so happy! Four days ago, she came into this website and read a story about The Secret Check. One night out of nowhere she called me and my nieces to the living room and she said to sit in a circle. She gave all of us a check, and she said with a smile on her face, “This month of September is the last moth we are going to be broke, because on October 2012 we are going to be rich!”
All of us got so happy even my little twins and each of us wrote the amount we wanted. We held hands, and we all repeated at the same time, “We are rich, and we are buying all the things we want.”
I placed my check on the ceiling, so every night when I go to bed, that’s the last thing I see and every time I wake up it’s the first thing I see. My twins both taped theirs in the bathroom so before they go to school that’s the last thing they see, and my sister placed hers on her mirror.
The Secret gave my sister hope and gave her a positive attitude towards life. I couldn’t be more thankful! Thank you!
I know that everything is going to be okay. I know that our wish is going to come true. I know that everything that we ask for is coming. And I know that my sister is going to be so much better now. I love her so much and if she is happy I am happy.
Thank you so much Universe for your blessings. Thank you so much for existing!
