The Not Knowing.

Submitted by: DANIELLE WELSH

ENGLAND

My name is Danielle. I'm 65 years old, married to a genius, and a mother of 6 children. I'm also a grandmother of 16 so far. I studied Nursing and then went into teaching children at a private English school abroad.

I was born into a Muslim family, the third child of eight kids with very strict parents! I was known as the quiet one, the apple of my father’s eye, and unloved by my mother. I endured a lot of physical abuse from her. I helped to raise my younger siblings. Bless them!

I loved learning, and I wanted to help children. I even wanted to go to refugee camps abroad. I went to college and took a Pre-Nursing Child and Community Care Course, which I completed successfully!

However, my parents had other plans for me. On one weekend, at 17 years old, I was married to a man who was 13 years older than me. I cried the night before and prayed to die!
I was sent abroad to the Gulf with him to get on with life.

I eventually had four beautiful children but was not happy. I worked in a private English school, which I loved. It got me out of the house, and I was happy there. But I had enough of my husband’s physical and mental abuse over the years.

Fast forward. I escaped with my four children back to the UK.
My children then became wards of the court in a custody case. He had kidnapped them, and we were involved in a big court case. I had traveled to London by coach all night to the High Courts of Justice. I was exhausted. My older brother watched my children until I returned!!

Thankfully, they returned my case to our local courts. I was granted custody of the children, and he returned to his country, and the divorce was finalized! There would be no contact, no financial help from him, and none for the four children, which I was thankful for! There were no ties to him.

Fast-forward three years. I met a wonderful man who I married. He became my husband, and I’m still with him to this day. We looked after our four children, plus two more that came along!!

I’ve always known that I was different from my siblings since I was young. I am a spiritual person who loves yoga, meditation, and going on group retreats. I have a deep love for people and always go out of my way to help and care for others. Now all my children are grown and have their own families.

I love reading. I saw The Secret movie years ago and was fascinated. Years went by, and I read books, followed Wayne Dyer, and listened to podcasts. Then I came across The Secret books, ordered them, read them, delved deeper into them, loved everything, and every one of them made so much sense to me. I sat and cried my heart out.

With my headphones on, I watch Rhonda on YouTube Daily!
I downloaded three of The Secret Apps, and I just finished watching The Secret Remastered in HD. I am so lucky that I was chosen to follow all these amazing people that brought me here to The Secret. I am here and I am so thankful and grateful. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So I bless you, Rhonda, and say a big yes to The Secret! I sat down two days ago and realized that everything that I had thought of, from escaping, getting a house with a rose garden, marrying the man I loved, to the homes we have in the UK and abroad. All of that has been there all this time! It was all manifested by just my thoughts.

I love you, Rhonda. I love your whole team. One day our paths will cross, and I will give you the biggest heartfelt hug for showing me The Secret! I AM AWARE! This is my story.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
