So I watched The Secret 2 weeks ago for the first time and I was so overwhelmed with what I had learned. My partner and I decided we needed to get ourselves in order and decide how our lives were going to be from this point on.

I started with a list of some things that I wanted to have and began focusing on a hybrid car that I was finally going to test drive. I have never test driven a car, so this was a big deal to me. I went to the dealer, test drove the car and the salesman told me that all I needed to do was leave a check for $500 if I wanted to reserve a car. At this moment, I did not have $500, but knew that I would get it soon enough and I tried to stay positive.

The same day, I went home and went to see if I got a check in the mail (my newest mantra) and I saw a letter for me and a check for $471 from a previous employer. I was so shocked, thrilled and thankful that I went down the next day and put down the deposit for the car.

This is only the beginning!
