I went to visit a friend back in September 2007 that I had not seen in about two years. She and I email each other and talk on the telephone, but I needed to get away because I was feeling depressed. So I called her and asked her if I could come and visit because my boyfriend and I were having constant arguments, and I was having a lot of issues at my job.

While visiting my friend, I was complaining about my boyfriend and how much I hated my job. She told me that I needed to stop being negative and that she had something the she wanted me to see. She showed me the video of The Secret. After seeing the movie, I started thinking about all of the negative things that I was drawing into my life because I was always thinking negative. I bought the book and read it over and over. I started to change my way of thinking and my relationship with my boyfriend improved. In fact, he gave me an engagement ring on my birthday (November 2007). I was hoping that the situation with my job would get better because I started thinking positively about it. Well, I was offered a new position within in the company, but was fired (December 2007) two weeks before I was going to transition to the new position (I didn’t like working at the company anymore and really just wanted to work somewhere else… even though I would be in a new position, I would still have to see and deal with the same people). On top of that, I was denied unemployment benefits and have not been able to find a job. I have been out of work since December 2007 and do not have any income. I am working with a lawyer in order to get my unemployment granted. I believe and know that I will get it and I also believe and know that I will get another job. Not just any job, but the job that I want and enjoy. I am not worried about how or when this will happen, I just know that it will happen. Thanks Mrs. Byrne for The Secret.
