Ask And You Shall Receive.

Submitted by: Melissa W

Cincinnati OH

I am a huge believer in The Secret and have used the principles I learned from the books to help heal myself from cancer, twice. I am a mother of two amazing young adults who are my world, a writer of historical fiction, and a mental health counselor. I give thanks for this amazing life every day!

My son applied to several universities when he was a senior in high school and was fortunate enough to be accepted to all of them. We had a hard decision ahead of us, but after visiting one particular university, he fell in love with the campus and the entire vibe of the school. It was a private university and definitely not in our college budget, but we were determined to make it work. I sat down with my husband to look at what we had in savings for college and realized we would be about $40,000 short of the amount he would need for those four years. Our son offered to take out loans but we told him that would be a last resort, we would find a way to make this possible. We trimmed our household budget in every feasible way, and I took on a second job in the evenings. I also began sending out gratitude to the Universe for providing all that we needed for our son to attend this university. I used the “Gratitude Bank of the Universe Check” and made it out for $40,000, the exact amount we were short. That check was dated March 28, 2023.

I work from home, and I taped it right above my computer so I would see the check all day long. Every time my eyes landed on it, I would smile and imagine us receiving the money. And every time I would say “Thank you for the money!”

Fast forward a few months, and I was still working two jobs and crunching our household budget. My supervisor mentioned a possible scholarship my son might be eligible for, and I told her I would look into it. He had applied for several scholarships up to this point but had not received anything so far. But I told my son about it and he applied. They contacted us for more info, we submitted it, and we waited again.

A month later on October 16, 2023, we received word he was approved for the scholarship! And the amount? You guessed it! It was for $40,000 over 4 years. When he applied there was no indication of the amount he might receive, so we were completely blown away that it was the EXACT amount I had asked the Universe for nearly seven months earlier.

All I can say is thank you!! The Universe is listening all the time and I am forever grateful for it!
