Although she was very sick, she still believed everything happens for a reason and was the first person to help us &#8216;change our thoughts&#8217;.  Whenever my sisters or I needed someone to talk to about our problems, we went to Mom (before her illness), because she was always so positive in her thoughts and faith. It wasn&#8217;t until after her death that I realized she&#8217;d used The Secret throughout her life. Let me show you&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Dad didn&#8217;t like to spend money on things that weren&#8217;t a necessity, but Mom wanted a few nice things to spruce up her home or to help those she loved. She would say to me, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to go to Bingo and win $1000 for a new couch,&#8221; or &#8220;I&#8217;m going to win $500 because that is what you need for your bill. Don&#8217;t worry anymore.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Guess what? She won more times than I can count, and more often than not, for the exact amount she&#8217;d asked for. My mother was the most giving person I know. Her requests were usually for others, not often for herself, and by giving she attracted more to give. <\/p>\n<p>My mom was living The Secret life, and she has taught me to do the same, only with Rhonda&#8217;s help, I now understand it.
