I am so happy and grateful that The Secret came into my life and many others just when we needed it.

Recently, I was introduced to the law of attraction in a way that I had not previously considered. I have always believed in the power of positive thinking but didn’t practice it regularly.

My husband of 47 years passed away 8 months ago following a 6 month long stay in ICU following a double lung transplant and complications. Following his passing, I listened to The Secret, The Magic, and The Power. I was motivated to try what the books were teaching. I found that gratitude, positivity, faith, trust, and, most of all, love are keys to the law of attraction. I am grateful for receiving this knowledge and the inspiration to practice and strive for what I desire through meditation, positivity, sending love to the Universe, and believing in the magic that is in each of us.

On my journey, I have received many miracles. Two that I keep close to my heart are the following: One morning, during my meditation, I was feeling extremely emotional and tearful. I then realized that it was the 5 month anniversary of my husband’s passing. I cried and told him that I missed him and prayed that he recognized that I was striving to become a better mother, friend, and, in general, a better person. I asked that he be with me to guide and comfort me.

Part of my morning meditation is to read from Al Anon literature. The first reading on that morning was, “Be Still, and Know that I am with You!” I knew at that very moment that my husband was with me and that he had heard me. It was exactly what I had asked for. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The second miracle was answered in a dream. Again, during a morning meditation on the 7th month anniversary of my husband’s passing, I asked that he be with me, guide me, and comfort me. I needed to know that he knew that I loved him still and that he was pain free and happy. That night, he appeared in my dreams. He appeared to be almost glowing. He was youthful, smiling, and happy. He was wearing a red T-shirt. It was the first time that I was aware of him appearing in my dreams, and it was very vivid. I learned that the color “red” in dreams can indicate that you have strong feelings about something in your waking life; it can represent wisdom, anointing power, and new birth. It can signify strength and resilience and can symbolize energy, passion, strength, courage, physical activity, and creativity. Because the dream was positive, with no sense of danger or anger, the other “negative” meanings that can be associated with the red color in dreams didn’t hold. So, I was comforted knowing that my husband knew that I loved him and that he was at peace, happy, and pain-free.

I am so grateful for my wonderful life and for all the blessings that I have received throughout my life. I am thankful for the faith and trust that I have developed, and I am grateful for the love of family and friends who supported me and our daughter through my husband’s illness. Most of all, I am grateful for the love and life I shared with my once-in-a-lifetime soulmate, lover, and best friend. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
