This is life and you have to live it
It was one day in July that I found out that my parents were getting divorced. I was feeling deeply depressed for about three months when my mother bought me something that would change my life forever. “This is The Secret,” she said. And handed me the DVD. I watched it but never understood it….

I have been not only learning about the Secret, but practicing it, and it is a huge part of my life. I learned a long time ago to listen to your feelings – the universe always provides and answers. Anyways, a few months ago I started being interested in Billy Joel, for some reason. I…

I just finished reading The Secret about two weeks ago. I saw it discussed on Oprah and thought it sounded like a fascinatingly simple strategy to a happier life.

This is a special story for me because of the strength that it took for me to do what I felt was right, despite all statistics, beliefs, and caring advice from trusted people all around.

My story is about having a vision about Sharing a Story. Our family has been steadily sliding backwards financially for years. My husband was unhappy in his current job and wanting a change.

Read More →A Downward Spiral
Before being diagnosed with crippling rheumatoid arthritis six years ago, I was the typical working wonder mom.

My ex and I are the very best of friends. He told me this story about when he was traveling back from Ottawa from a business trip. He was feeling very down, and his shoulders felt really heavy, as he was constantly worried about the fate of our three children (adults now, of course, one…

I read, listened to, and watched The Secret about a year ago, and have been on the band wagon ever since. I realized I used The Secret all my life and could better focus on things now. I used it to get free tuition for my daughters’ school for the year (she goes to a…

A few weeks ago, my husband and I traveled to a family member’s wedding in Pensacola, Florida. Before we left, my mother gave me a copy of The Secret to read on the plane. My husband and I were flying from DC to Pensacola with a 40-minute layover in Atlanta. Our flight was delayed an…

In about March, I finally decided not to go to the usual sleep-away camp that I went to over all my previous summers. This gave me an additional seven weeks to enjoy myself over the summer, and it saved my parents a good deal of money. During that school year, I had also developed an…
Read More →I was using The Secret without knowing
I recently discovered The Secret and now realise I have been using it without knowing. I am a great fan of Liza Minnelli, and for ages have been looking at her website regularly and telling people how I’d love to see her. I even mentioned to one of my sons how I’d travel anywhere in…

My story covers a lot of things in my life, my work, my family, and my relationship to my husband. Hard to cover it all in a short story, but it is all related to the Secret so here it goes… I chose the title to this story because if you live in California it’s…
Read More →The Snap Tub
After watching The Secret, my whole family agreed to do what we call the Snap Tub. (An idea from ‘Legally Blonde 2’, where there was a snap cup that contained good things to say about the people she worked with.) In my family, whenever one of us is having a “mood/attitude challenge”, we write on…

Right after we watched “The Secret”, we made our visual boards. One for myself, and one for my wife. Within 3 months we had received almost everything on those boards; a house with a pool, boat, travel trailer, newer SUV, and time to be together as a family. For the most part we went on…
Read More →From infertility to baby joy
My husband and I had started trying for a baby as soon as we got married in 2004, but a year later we were having no luck. I wasn’t too surprised, as I had barely had a period since my brother’s sudden death in 03. So in July 2005 our GP referred us to a…

I have grown up with the teachings of The Secret interwoven through family discussions at the dinner table to discussions on what was taught in church, and everything in between.
