I had a major falling out with my friend Michelle nearly three years ago. It was something and nothing but another “friend” called Julie seemed very determined that the original friendship would never be renewed. For three years I missed Michelle every day. As time went on it seemed ever less likely that we would get back together and I believed that unless Julie was out of the way for good it would never happen.

About three months ago I decided to put my faith in The Secret practice. I found some old photographs taken of Michelle and I together and put them up on the pin board in my kitchen and I put her name into the address book in my phone with a space for her number and I strongly visualised Julie’s house with a “For Sale” sign outside it then I just let it go.

About a month later Michelle requested me as a friend on Facebook which I accepted. Then about a fortnight later she contacted me asking to meet up. It transpired that Julie had an affair with Michelle’s partner. The partner has been forgiven but Julie is out of our lives for good and yes, her house now has a “For Sale” sign outside.

I originally discovered The Secret just after the initial falling out and off and on had visualised my friendship with Michelle being renewed but nothing happened. I think it was just too important and I was allowing myself to get frustrated. By the time I put the photos up on the pinboard I was almost resigned to our friendship being lost forever and I was in the mindset of “if it’s meant to be then it’ll happen when the time is right”.

I now see that what needed to happen was for Julie to do something so awful that Michelle could never forgive her and it took time for the universe to bring about the right situation.
