After a painful divorce, I met who I knew was the love of my life in the spring of 2011. One of the first things I asked her was if she’d heard of The Secret. She answered with an elated, “OMG, yes!”. And the rest is history. We were married in August, 2017. But that is the end to our beautiful story. I would like to take you back to the beginning.

Two years after we met, I took my new love down to Florida for a vacation over the Christmas holidays of 2013. On Christmas day, we were sitting at one of my favorite beachfront patio bars, enjoying some live music and lunch. At some point during that afternoon, my wife noticed a beautiful pair of designer cowboy boots that another woman at the venue was wearing. My wife approached the woman and asked the woman where she got them, and if the woman would mind if she took a picture of them. It is important to note that I didn’t see my wife talking to the woman about the boots, or see the picture that she took of this other woman’s boots.

When we got home from our trip, my wife told me the story about seeing this woman’s boots, how much she loved them, and that she was going to try to find a pair. I still had not actually seen the picture of the boots, or even heard a description of the boots, just that my wife wanted to find them. For 3 months my wife tried internet searching for the boots at the store that the woman told my wife was where to find them. The store no longer carried them and my wife gave up.

Exactly 4 years later, we planned another trip back to Florida to our favorite spot for the Christmas holidays of 2017. After walking around in circles for hours at the mall trying to find a gift for my wife for Christmas, I could not find a thing. I gave up and went home. I only had a couple of days left to get her something, and was racking my brain about what to get her. I remembered her telling me years ago that she wanted a pair of cowboy boots. So online I went! I found a website that advertised clearance discontinued cowboy boots for woman at 70% off. I went through pages of hundreds of boots trying to find something I thought she might like. Eventually I settled on a pair and had them shipped priority so I could give them to her for Christmas before we left. Remember that I never saw a picture or description of the boots.

On Christmas day, 4 years to the day, my wife opened the box. She was so excited and said, “OMG! I love them”. She had actually forgotten exactly what the boots she saw 4 years earlier looked like. She said, “These look like those boots I saw on that woman at the beachfront bar in St.Pete’s”.

It was then that she pulled out her cell phone to compare the boots to the picture she had taken 4 years earlier. They were the exact same boots!

I must tell you that we were both completely blown away with awe. Our jaws dropped and we have been telling this story ever since. It was The Secret that brought us together, and it was The Power of my wife putting it out to the Universe that she wanted those boots. And it was The Power of The Secret and the Universe that brought them to her! Thank you Rhonda for bringing this joy into our lives with The Secret!
