Christmas Eve surprise

Submitted by: Sherry K

Painesville, Ohio

I am a wife to a wonderful husband of 36 years. We have one 31 yr old married daughter. I work full time but desire to retire within one year. Plan on traveling with my husband, daughter and her husband. Very spiritual, love life and in resonably good health at age 54. (Do need to lose weight however!)

I had wanted to purchase The Secret DVD desperately, when I first saw it about 6 months ago, but simply did not have the extra $39.95. I decided it would be a Christmas gift in 2006 to myself, so I started saving my pennies to purchase it. I told no one in my family, since it had been my experience that more than once they did not understand my need to find “something” outside of myself, and I simply did not want to have to explain why I felt this need to get this DVD. It arrived 2 days before Christmas. I watched and cried through the whole thing. This is what I had been waiting for. I had a calmness that came over me for the first time in months, because I now KNEW that I could have absolutely everything I ever dreamed of. I HAD the power. My daughter and her husband had been having some difficult times that were really getting them down. I decided on Christmas Eve that I was going to suggest she watch the DVD with me. When I mentioned it to her, she said “sure Mom, we can watch it later”. Her expression on her face and lack of enthusiasm was clearly what I had wanted to avoid in the first place, so basically felt the conversation had ended there. She had a rather odd look about her, so I was not really sure what she was thinking. Later that night, we have a tradition that we each open one gift from each other. There are only the 4 of us, so my daughter said, “Mom, I would like for you to start first with this gift from James and I. She went on to say “I think you will be surprised, I know I was”. I did not understand her comment until I tore off the paper and found I was holding the most beautifully bound little book, called… YES.. The Secret! I was in shock. When I asked why, they picked that book for me, she said she had no idea. They were in a very well known book store (that has literally thousands of books!) and she spotted this one. She told her husband, I need to get this for MOM. Needless to say, I decided then, that “The Secret” works. There is no earthly reason why they would have picked THAT book to buy for me, but they did. I will end by saying that my daughter and her husband (as well as mine) have all watched the DVD, and we are all living more enriched lives daily. I know 2007 will be the BEST years of our lives. Thank you Universe!
