A huge thank you to Rhonda, the universe and also for the opportunity to share my story. My gratitude is beyond words.

My story started 4 years ago. I was suffering from Crohn’s disease. I was living a very sad life with many thoughts of suicide and low self esteem. Before I read The Secret I was in and out of hospital. I was so sick, the first time that I had a dangerous high fever and other symptoms, I was left at home alone. My parents had gone overseas. When they were back I was lucky to get to the hospital.

Time passed. I was in and out of hospital with various medications. My blood had even had become septic once. But the doctor was able to help. I had beat that. I was not healthy at all. I had to take a break from studies.

My parents never supported me emotionally. There were points in my life they were so hateful towards me that I had wanted to kill myself. That’s another story. Becoming ill actually brought my parents closer to me, they had started to take care of me better. It was so different. Not a wonderful relationship but good, livable now. But I was still very alone with no one and nothing to lean on.

Well after a year of medications my Doctor, who was actually someone positive for a change, found a treatment that helped me. It was expensive but I was getting healthy again. I went back to college. Things were looking up.

There was still no happiness or inspiration in my life. I had been crying and asking for some kind of way out of this. One night I came across The Secret online. I bought it and started reading it. In a few days I was done. I was now so thankful that I had found this. I became happy and things were now looking up for me. I had the universe on my side. It was a light, a life line. I was now happy. I decided that I was going to forgive and forget all bad that was done to me. I will create my own life.

I was determined to focus on health and good thoughts.

The treatment was very expensive and my dad had upgraded the medical insurance. We managed for a while. There was no way we could keep on affording this for the rest of my life.

The next treatment was due and after a year the medical aid had now said they cannot give us the treatment anymore. That was such sad, bad news. Anytime something like that happened to me in my life, my parents reflex would be to shout at me.

So I cried, was sad and could not believe this was happening. Then I shrugged it off. I decided that night I was going to get better. The universe/God is with me. My health was going to be 100 %. My colon is going to be restored, regenerated and well. I kept positive.

A week later I had to go in for a colonoscopy. Guess what? When I got the results my doctor said my colon was perfect, normal. His words “I don’t know how you did it, you clearly know what works for you. Keep on doing what you’re doing”!

I was thrilled, happy and excited I had done it! But I had known this before I had went for the results. This was the first time in my life I had been happy, inspired and motivated.

I am now completely healthy, “in remission” because technically there is no cure for Crohn’s disease. I still go for check ups. You would never know I was not healthy.

This was 2 years ago. I have since read countless other books, found many teachers. I love the part I am on. My life is becoming magical. I have come very far since then. I am grateful for everything from universe. I know that any problems I have now will be resolved.

I just want you to know, if you’re reading this in search of inspiration, The universe loves you more than you will ever know. Keep faith. You’re not alone. Things can and will get better.
