For my Angel on Earth
My daughter Ricchina was born with down-syndrome. For years she has pretended that Justin Timberlake is her brother and that Lance Bass is her boyfriend. Well, for years I have tried to make some contact with these young men, and of course I never did because all I ever said was, “I will never be…

After my head and brain was injured in 1969, suicide was contemplated many times. I survived the urge through becoming positive and believing that I would get well. At all times I concentrated on a good future – not on what I had lost. To help my brain functioning and memory, I read sentences and…

My story began last summer. I was introduced to The Secret by watching a talk show. The commercials caught my attention and I just had to watch it. I thankfully decided to tape it because after watching I was so taken by it that I wanted my husband to watch it too. I then had…

I have always my whole life thought that I have very bad luck – I’ve even been told that by my very best friend. I had a seven year failed relationship. My Mother went through two failed relationships, and my two older brothers have both had their wives cheat on them. I was thinking, “Very…

I’m very positive, and believe that if you have faith many good things happen in your life. I get up every morning and give thanks for another day! Being thankful for what you already have is very important – that will bring more wonderful things in to your life. I already feel like a new…

My husband and I saw the film in March of 2007, and we were thrilled. I bought the book and read it and started applying it. I had always wanted to visit my country of Argentina, which I have not visited in 17 yrs. My financial status did not allow me to do so, but…

I don’t think I have had more then $20.00 in my wallet in the last 3 years. I lived paycheck to paycheck, and if the kids got sick, or they needed to see a doctor, I was in trouble. I lived in fear every day. 3 months ago my Mom sent me The Secret and…

I was the type of person that if I didn’t see, wouldn’t believe. But since my husband saw The Secret film he kept pushing me to believe. The first time I went for my driving test I was telling myself and everybody, “I KNOW I WON’T PASS IT”. And I didn’t even get tested because…

It’s been 3 months since I last talked to my mother. Before she went to the United States, we had an argument. We always clash about so many things. Though we have misunderstandings, I love her dearly, because after all, she’s still my mother. I always chat with my sister via Yahoo messenger, who is…

My mother was a drinking person ever since I could remember, a serious alcoholic that had been in and out of rehab centers, jails, and hospitals. It often seemed she had her own sense of direction to which she could never quite find. When I was about 28 and hadn’t seen my mother for some…

Last year (2007) my wife and I were faced with the climax of a battle with the US government over the charge of fraud and a resulting visa issue. Let me preface this by saying that we’re two people with no criminal record; Akiko’s never even had a parking ticket in her life! At the…

When I was 17 I had surgery to remove an ovarian cyst on my left ovary. When the surgery was performed they also found that I had endometriosis, which causes a lot of scarring on my reproductive organs. My Doctor told me it would be very hard for me to conceive. Throughout the years I…

I work in a field where seniority counts every step of the way. Due to this type of environment, the shifts I work are 95% night shifts. I never saw my husband, we rarely had dinner together, and we would just see each other in the morning and at night in bed (which was never…

Some dear friends gave me a copy of The Secret DVD in late April after listening to me complain that my spouse (who is otherwise a great guy) is always so negative about everything, and how I have to constantly pull myself up and be positive to counteract his attitude’s effects on me. I took…

I am happy I came across the book of The Secret through my sister-in-law to be (I love her brother and am positive that he is going to marry me one day). Anyway, it made me realise one thing. I once lived according to the Secret, and I was not even aware of that. My…

I wanted to write a short note to say that I have just started the book, and I’m getting signs already… little hints to tell me to keep going after the first few pages. I’ll keep it brief. After reading that Rhonda has a daughter called Skye, I paused and thought, “If I have another…
Read More →Candles are a girl’s best friend!
To begin with, I love home decor. I love painting and using different accents to “jazz” up a room. I love all sorts of candles. From scented to non-scented. From colored ones to plain white ones. I love them all! About two weeks ago I complained to my mother about not having any to light….

I finished reading The Secret in three days, and immediately from the first day began to apply the practices. For the past four years I have dreamed of getting custody of my son so that I would have him during the school year. Even while reading the book I began to focus all of my…

I was raised in a very abusive family – all categories apply. I’ve already used the Secret instinctively to repair many injuries to my heart and mind, and am excited to see accelerated progress after watching the movie, and the extra perception that gave me, to make my life closer to the dream I have…

We have always worked very hard to provide for our children, and now that they are all grown we are faced with the possibility of losing our home. I received The Secret CDs from a co-worker’s wife about a month ago. My husband & I started listening to them together in the mornings, rather than…
