I am a self employed single parent with two boys under 16. I was brought up to believe I was pretty much nothing. Since the age of 16, I have been fending for myself. I felt extremely lost and anxious, which has affected me throughout my life. I have had two failed relationships, resulting in me becoming a single parent. By the age of 26, I was unsure about what I really wanted in life. I was in a failing relationship, not with the father of my children, and that was a turning point for me. I felt like I had been living with blinders on up to that point.

At that time, I did not have much in terms of material possessions. I struggled on welfare and told myself that this couldn’t be it. I decided that my life would change by the time I was 30, even though I didn’t know how or why.

Sure enough, a month before my 31st birthday, I had started my own business, and because I believed in myself, I’m proud to say that it’s still going strong.

Another significant event was when I longed for a bigger house that would better suit my business needs. I expressed this desire to my friends and family, never dreaming that it would become a reality. In fact, I’m sitting in the house I talked about so many times as I write this.

About three months ago, I found a copy of a wonderful book, or “bible,” as I like to think of it now, for 25p in my local thrift shop. Even though I had not paid it much attention before, my driving instructor had told me about it and how she gives thanks every day. I took the book on holiday last month, but I was once again overwhelmed by anxiety, so in the end, I didn’t read it. Instead, my 15 year old son did.

We discussed what he had learned, and he said that I had been practicing the principles of the law of attraction without realizing it. Everything I had achieved to get us to this point was through asking and believing.

I now have a gratitude diary and a rose quartz on its way to become my Gratitude Rock. The idea of the rose quartz came to me as I watched The Secret DVD. I also bought a rose quartz ring, which I believe is helping me with my anxiety and to feel more open to love.

I am putting things into place now. I have asked, and I believe, and I cannot wait to receive what I have asked for and desire. I will write another entry as those things become my reality. What I am trying to convey is that I now feel completely in tune with myself. I have always lived by the motto, “If you believe, you can achieve.” The Secret is now becoming a way of life for me. So, for that, Rhonda and her team, I am forever grateful.

One love.
