About 5 years ago, I read The Secret, and while I liked the idea of it, I didn’t really believe in it. I tried it out small a few times- parking spots, finding lost stuff, etc. Deep down though, I wasn’t a believer.

Around 6 months ago, my dad called me in a frenzy. He had just watched the DVD version of The Secret and he was anxious to share it with me. I explained to him that I had read the book and tried it out many years ago. He insisted on buying me the DVD so I could experience it again. I will be honest, the DVD sat in the glove box of my car for another couple of months.

After experiencing many hardships during my first year of teaching, I felt rather lost, so I decided to watch the DVD of The Secret. I can’t explain why, but it felt different watching the DVD.

I became a believer, but things didn’t transform overnight. However, within a month of positive thinking things started to change. An unexpected $6,000 found it’s way to me. I became engaged to the man of my dreams. I found 3 or 4 things of value that I had been missing for close to a year. Lastly, the most incredible thing happened today.

Last month, I applied for 10 transfer jobs, and despite thinking positive thoughts, I was rejected for all 10 positions. This left me feeling down, but I chose to focus on other areas of my life that were going well. I knew I could not return to my current position for next school year, but I handed it all over to the universe asking the universe for a good teaching job for next school year. I didn’t apply for anymore transfer jobs, I just handed my faith over to the universe. I focused all of my thoughts on being a teacher and my love for teaching, despite a plethora of bad things going on at my job around me.

Today I received a call from a principal I interviewed with over a month ago. He said they really want me to be a teacher at their school next school year, and he offered me a job. I can’t begin to explain what a surprise this was to me, especially since I quit applying for jobs and the job market for teachers is super competitive around here!

Thank you, thank you, thank you universe. Thank you to Rhonda and The Secret team.

I have learned so much about myself and the world I have created around myself these last couple of months. I am so grateful for everything in my life. The abundance of my blessings seems endless!
