McAllen, TexasThank you so much. You came to me just as my faith was ending, just as my dreams in true love had been shattered. I FOUND everything I was looking for in my life
Back on June 5th 2006, the most wonderful thing happened to me: I became a mom! Isla is my baby girl. I was married, but I only had one beautiful and wonderful person in my life – my baby girl. She is everything perfect in my world, but my husband was very abusive and he never really loved me. I could never figure out what he wanted in his life or from me. I tried so hard to be a counselor and a friend to him, but it was never enough. I was so happy to have my baby, but so sad that I had no love in return from the man I gave my heart and love to.
The day after Christmas 2008, I was put in the hospital after being beaten up by my husband. I left him that day… and I never returned to him.
The next week (New Years Eve) I went to a book store with a broken heart, bitterness on my tongue, and the intention of finding some sort of answer to my dilemma. I was in the “Self-Help” aisle crying all alone, scaring away anyone that tried to enter that particular aisle. I was so extremely sad, that I slowly began to break down in a very public place. I began with a high-pitched squeal of fury. Then I proceeded to grab at any book that had a positive title; I would touch it, examine the cover, and toss it aside. I was crying so hard I didn’t even know if I was seeing anything at all. At that moment, I thought, I had lost my mind, but I didn’t care. It was as if I was waiting for a feeling to come though the books in my hands.
After around ten minuets of insanity, paper-cuts, tears, mucus, and countless fearful glances from terrified customers, I stopped. I sat down next to my pile of mess and took a few deep breaths, and said softly out-loud, “I need help NOW. I need the answers. I NEED to be happy NOW. PLEASE help me.” I looked up and the ONLY book that was still on the book display was The Secret (as I type this out, I shiver with profound gratefulness and awe of the perfection of it all). Yes, I know I should feel a bit ashamed for grabbing “The Secret” and walking past all the mess I had made, but it was magic I was calm. I didn’t open the book, I just wiped my tears away, and paid for it.
That night I didn’t even open it. I placed it on my bed and stared at it for a few hours (un-opened).
The next day, I woke and started the adventure. I wrote everything down that I wanted in a soul-mate.
Two months later (Feb 21st 2009), I met Alex. The most amazing man in the whole world! I was at my best friend’s birthday party, he saw me and he said that everyone else in the whole club blurred out and he could only see me and my laughing eyes. His friends were SHOCKED. He had never had a girlfriend because he said that he was waiting for the prefect woman.
My little girl loves Alex, and he treats Isla as if she was his own flesh and blood! I have the family of my dreams! I’m so happy! Everything makes sense! I understand everything now. I feel free, and cry now from happiness and from overwhelming JOY!!
THANK YOU FOREVER!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!
Yours Truly,
