Tree Of Life Is Growing
Submitted by: Nancy A.
Cambridge, MAThey call me 'Angel' for many reasons, I suppose, and truly I have always lived accordingly, up to the standards an earth angel could do here on earth. I am 53 years younger after reaching a half a century, and have enjoyed watching my 6 children grow and come into full adulthood, bringing into the tree of life more wonderful little angels. 14 of them in fact. I raised them on my own, and alone. Living mostly on welfare, and driving a school bus for several years, till I went to school for Radio, TV, and Recording Arts. I landed a part time job in the radio bizz, on Saturdays co-hosting with a radio producer from the Caribbean Island of Trinidad. I remained with the show after I got out of school in 1993 till present. I had also gotton a job at the Station the Show was on, in 1995, and laid off in 2001, shortly after I had broken my ankle in a very bad way. Now, I just volunteer at the local Community Television Station, creating my own productions, and radio shows. Presently, working on how to generate cash flow from what I can do, although I am on disability... that tries to limit me, but I keep on pushing through it somehow. I have a great partner, whom I love and adore, who has helped me though these times. We have a good life, and that means a lot.
It’s not that I am fanatical about who I am or how I chose to live, but I do strongly believe that because of it, I was attracted to ‘The Secret’ in a strange way.
It started around Christmas time, when I felt strongly about what I wanted to give my grown children. I wanted it to be something that would be meaningful and lasting. They had always made fun of the way I am, or giggled at the fact that I say, ‘I am here to help them, and watch over them’, but they wouldn’t take it seriously. I couldn’t even get them to connect with the Power of God. Yet they would complain about how or what was continuously going wrong with their lives.
It could have been worse for them, but I did my part, as always, asking for assistance from the universe to help them grow, and stay protected.
So, at this time, as I mentioned, I was looking for something that would make a difference in their lives, and something that they could share openly with each other, keeping them connected. Having a sense of togetherness and a ‘Secret’ to share.
I went shopping at the ‘Target’ store in our area, and kept being pulled to the book section of the store. It’s really funny, cause my grown children don’t like to read like I do, except my two daughters, and they will only read what they chose. They are very funny like that. But, I took a chance and looked around in the book section anyway. I kept seeing this book called ‘The Secret’ practically jumping off the shelf at me, and at that time there were tons of them on the shelf. (Can’t say that now, cause they keep running out). So, I opened one, and started to read a few pages. My heart thumped and felt over joyed, in a wonderful way, which usually means I am doing the right thing. The problem was that I wanted to buy one for all of them, but had a limited amount of cash to shop with at the time. (Well if I had known that I could have changed that at that time, I would have had more than enough.) What I did was, I bought 4 books. One for myself, one for each of my two daughters, and my youngest son.
When they got the books for Christmas, they just stared at me, as if to say: “Do you really think we are going to read something you picked out?”. Which I kinda figured they would, so I immediately said to them; read it when you can, or order the movie, then read it, share it with your partners, and share or tell someone else about it when you are done. That’s all I ask; it can’ t hurt!…
My oldest daughter was the first one to pick it up and read it. She said someone had already told her about it, and that she had wanted to buy it. She in turn insisted that her other siblings do the same, and had them order the movie on our network channels. And not only that, she went out and bought 3 more books, and the DVD, and gave the books to friends at work she felt could use them.
The other children who I wasn’t able to give a book to, who were going through some tough times, well they started asking why they hadn’t gotten one too. So, I came into a little extra cash, just enough to buy 2 more books, which went to my two middle sons, who desperately needed guidance. I even gave them a gratitude rock to go with it, that I already had prior to reading about it. I always had little shiny rocks laying around my house, love to collect them, and always believed they would be useful some day. One of my sons said to me, that was the best gift that anyone had ever given him. Especially his rock. It gave him so much inspiration and strength to move forward in his life, and every day he holds his rock and says thank you.
He has his young daughter of 6 1/2 doing the same. Not to mention all the other grands too, except the tiny ones. But they will too.
My eight year old grandson said to his mother shortly after she had shared the movie with them, that he could get a parking spot for her, after she started panicking because she was late for an appointment. He said: “Mom, I know the Secret, and there’s a parking space open in front of the dentist place, just go there, and you will see it.” Sure enough, a car pulled out, right in front of the Dentist, as they came around the corner. He proudly smiled and said: “See, I told you. I KNOW THE SECRET…. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Don’t forget to say thank you, Mom! The Secret is working.”
He’s a fast learner. He’s playing a money game now, and calls himself ‘The Cash Flow-Kid’. I took a picture of him, holding all his cash he got for his birthday, stuffed and hanging out of his pockets. He says he’s going to be rich.
The rest of the children will learn, the older ones see it, and the big ones (my children) are trying there best to LIVE it. I can’t ask for anything better than that. That wish was fulfilled indeed. Waiting on the BIG check in the mail, it was supposed to be here, but I know the money is being printed so the check has to be delayed for a bit, till the CASH is ready. Cause I will be going to the BANK. Might even own it.
Well that’s my story. The Secret is out! I will keep you all posted when the Big Check comes! Even the small ones that are ready.
I told the mailman the other day to stop bringing me junk, and bring my check. He laughs and says: ‘You already are rich, what do you need a check from me for?’ He’s a wise mailman…
Thanks again! I am ever grateful, and filled to the brim with Gratitude.
Blessings always.
