I had a great life, a supportive and close family, a loving husband and a young son. The one thing I longed for was another child to complete my family of four and to give my son the sibling he hoped for.

After several miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies I was told that I would never be able to have any more children. Not only had the surgeon removed one of my Fallopian tubes but she had also removed some of my womb. I was devastated and had lost hope.

I then endured further trauma when I was involved in a life threatening road traffic accident and left with lifelong disabilities.

But while I was in hospital I was given The Secret.

I’d never heard of it before and initially didn’t even pick it up to read it. But for some reason my eyes kept being drawn to it so eventually I picked it up and read it.

I didn’t really absorb it the first time I read it and then I read it again and started willing myself to learn to walk again.

Finally discharged from hospital and being able to walk with the help of aides, I changed my focus on my family and my strong desire for another child.

I created a visualisation board with pictures from magazines showing a happy family of four and a new baby swaddled in a blanket and I started imagining that there was a life growing inside of me.

And guess what?!!

I defied what the doctors and consultants had told me, I was pregnant!!!

I never lost faith. I knew that I was going to be blessed with another child, I just didn’t know when. I look at my little one and smile knowing that I manifested him with the power of The Secret.

Never lose faith!!
