My boyfriend and I had been together for a year before we found out I was pregnant, and decided to have an abortion. It was devastating, and we were both heartbroken, but knew we were not ready to raise a child and had made the responsible decision. But I began to hate myself for what had happened.

The wave of emotion that struck us both was tremendous, and we began to fight constantly. Hateful words were thrown around, we began keeping secrets from each other, and before we could even comprehend what was happening to our relationship, it became physically violent. Needless to say, we ended it, bitterly.

I had been using the Secret to attract him back into my life. I pretended we were already together. I made meals for two, left bowls out with food and water for his dog, kept a towel in the bathroom for him, and even left little loving notes on the counter when I knew I would be home late. Every day I kept the faith, and even though it took months and months, I realized that I had attracted this time alone into my life to heal from the emotional pain of losing the baby, and the Universe allowed me to begin to LOVE MYSELF again.

He finally called me, at two in the morning, sobbing. He confessed that he had been doing the same, trying to attract ME back! I began to cry, and this overwhelming feeling of light took over my body. I put on my shoes and hopped in my car and drove thirty minutes to his house, where he was waiting for me outside.

We’ve been so incredibly happy since. Every morning I THANK HIM for being him, and every night he thanks me for being me. There is so much gratitude in our home now, and there is no reason to fight. Even when something becomes stressful, we just thank each other for being, and I literally live in love every day. Not only did I attract the time I needed to find myself again, but I attracted my soul mate back.

This very morning he looked me straight in the eye as we both woke up and said, “We were born for each other, you know.” I simply said, “We intended to be born for each other.” He smiled, kissed me, and produced the most simple, beautiful, perfectly fitting engagement ring! I could hardly breathe!

Don’t give up the faith, believe in what you know you deserve, and above all things, love yourself! That is what I have learned from the Secret. Thank you Universe!!!
