Thank you to Rhonda and everyone involved in the making of “The Secret,” and to all who share their stories here. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I know the hardest part for most people is manifestation, and I would like to share my story in the hopes that it may work for others.

First, use the Universe as your guidance. I found that asking friends or family who do not follow “The Secret” is usually not the most effective way. I am in a long distance relationship. My boyfriend now was my first love when I was 22 years old. We broke up for 7 years, only to find each other again. It’s hard being in a long distance relationship, so I asked God to show me a sign. If he’s the one, show me purple roses; if he’s not, show me blue roses. I chose these roses because I rarely ever see them.

Within 2 hours, I saw a bouquet of purple roses, and every day I see purple roses. Yesterday we had a fight, and he called and called, but I was thinking of ignoring him so he would miss me, but I was unsure if I should. I asked God to show me a bouquet of orange roses if I should call him back, or white roses if I shouldn’t. Well, I saw the most beautiful orange bouquet in the most unusual of places. Whenever I’m not sure about anything, I ask the Universe, and I get an answer every time.

The second is gratitude. I’ve been trying to lose weight to no avail. I did the three day diet and lost 3 lbs., not 10 like the diet states. I felt sad at first, but then I decided to be thankful for the 3 lbs. I had lost, along with a list of all the things I am grateful for and love for my body. It was Easter weekend, so I ate a lot and did not exercise. On Monday, I got on the scale and I had lost 3 more lbs. without even trying. Whatever you give thanks for, multiplies.

The third is feeling joy. This may be hard, I know, as I have suffered from depression for 2 decades, but I no longer do. This works for me. I have a gratitude journal, and whenever I feel “down,” I start to write what I am grateful for, and my mood lifts instantly. I have another journal where I record what I love. Today, I wrote all that I love about nature, the sky, the rain, etc. After recording my gratitude and love, I feel like the happiest girl in the world, and I get goosebumps. This evening, after having such a joyous day, I got a message from my tax accountant that I am getting back $8,000 from my taxes. For the past 2 years, I have been paying back taxes without getting back a penny. I never would have thought that feeling good would bring about my desire so quickly.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I hope this works for at least one person who reads this, and I wish you all love, joy, and your heart’s desires.

With Love,

Symone
