This one’s on me…
Submitted by: Tessa
Shelby, NCI am a 20 year old working mother. My daughter is the most beautiful gift I have ever received. I am a full time employee and will be a full time student in a nursing program in the fall. I recently met the best man of my life and I am trying every day to be a positive, thankful, helpful woman.
I received The Secret from my boyfriend’s mother. She had given it to him, and when I saw it lying on the table I thought it was ridiculous. I asked him if he was really going to read it. Later that week I saw it lying around and my curiosity got the best of me. When I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. Later when my boyfriend got home I asked if we could read it out loud together. We did, and both started implementing the skills.
We played a game with the universe together. We both concentrated on green lights and parking spaces. All day the green lights didn’t end, and front row parking was always there.
A few nights later I told him I wanted to go out to dinner, but we didn’t have any money. I told him, “Yes, we do. We will go to dinner. Stop at the gas station.” I don’t play the lottery hardly ever, and I have never won anything over three dollars. That night we won twenty-five dollars – just enough to buy dinner at a local restaurant for him, my daughter, and myself. It was an amazing feeling. It was a comfort. It was like the universe was saying, “This one’s on me.”
As the weeks have passed life catches up and I have burdened myself with outside stresses instead of letting them go. But today I am starting again. I will remember that dinner and that gift and be thankful, and be an appreciative individual. I have entered to win a new car because I feel I deserve one. Being a working college student full time and mother it would comfort me to know I have a reliable vehicle. The universe will give me what I deserve. I cannot wait to get in that car!
