I paid off my mortgage using The Secret



By Wayne Heinrich
from Lethbridge Alberta Canada

The SECRET came to me in early November 2006. The trailer was mesmerizing. I watched it a number of times. Searched out the book and ordered it from AMAZON as it was not yet available at our CHAPTERS book store yet. I devoured the book in a few days, read it again and I am on my 3rd reading as I write. I have always been a positive thinker and I was positive this book came to me for a reason..as reinforcement to the principles I ordered the movie.

I focused on "I am a money magnet etc.." I visualized $50,000 coming to me unexpectedly. I would use the money to pay off our mortgage. I took the mortgage documents out, wrote PAID IN FULL across them, and pinned the document to the wall so it could be viewed by me every day. Every morning I arose with gratitude for what I have, and repeated the mantra "I am a money magnet, money flows to me in an avalanche of abundance etc." I knew that the $50,000 was coming to me, I had no idea how or when, I just knew.

On Wednesday, Jan. 24, 2007, my brother-in-law and sister-in-law invited us to go out for dinner. My bride of 29 years and I arrived at the restaurant about 6pm, had a wonderful meal and conversation. And then it happened. My brother-in-law handed us a card to open. Inside was a cheque for $50,000. They said they had been thinking about giving this money to us since late November of 2006. As of today, Jan. 28, 2007 we have paid off our mortgage.. a dream we have had for many years. Does the SECRET work..you be the judge.

The Universal Bank (UN) limited


By Stefanus Botha
from JHB South Africa

I watched the secret the first time, and recognised the ordering of parking spaces, which I have been doing since I started to drive (This also works on the queues in banks). It was only after I watched the Secret for about the third time that I noticed the web address at the end. I spend a lot of time online going through everything. Slowly. During this time I also came across a PDF Cheque, to be made out by me, for me. I printed the cheque, and placed it on my desk at the office. I wanted to first toy with the idea and make sure the amount request made the criteria of my own belief system. I decided that a round figure of R40 000 would be exactly the kind of amount that would be absolutely believable, and yet also awesome to materialise at the same time. I filled the cheque out, signed it, and placed it next to my dream house on my vision board. I looked at the cheque for a few moments. I was filled with gratitude at being the recipient of such a large sum of money.

I dated the cheque for the first of March, as it was the first of February. 30 days is more than enough time for me to achieve the sales I need to create this amount, I reasoned. I received an answer within 30 MINUTES. There had apparently been an error, and the company I used to work for, owes me R42 675 in commission for a deal that I closed, and never got the commission for. The money will be paid across to my bank account on 1 March.

The story does not however, end there. My younger brother has a great desire for a motorcycle. He has not only watched the Secret, but was also instrumental in me watching it in the first place! I have allocated almost the entire sum of of money, except the EXACT amount he needs to raise for his motorcycle. The greatest gift I can receive, is the gift of giving.

About Stefanus Botha from JHB South Africa:

I was born to my own "secret" teacher, and I have been, after a fashion, spread the word of the laws as far as I could. What a wonderful experience it was to discover there were more people out there that not only understood the Secret, but lived, and shared it! I am eternally grateful that the elements of the Secret I had not discovered, readily available.

Prosperity Game and BAM


By Rebecca
from Missoula, MT

I put out energy that I had wanted to understand how to manifest more money. I had a vague understanding about manifesting as I have studied Silva Mind Control. I put this information out about 3 weeks ago and since then, I stumbled upon this website, purchased the Movie, watched The Secret, several times, then stumbled upon Abraham-Hicks books and purchased those and some CDs, then BAM...my boss called me into the office and said that I would get an unexpected bonus of $3,000.00.

Everyday is like Christmas now. Each morning I wake up, all giggly like a child on Christmas morning, looking forward to opening my gift called Today.

May you all be blessed as well with lots and lots of abundance, prosperity, joy, fun and windfalls of money out of the blue.

Refuse To Take No For An Answer



By Sue R.
from Portland, OR

My husband, at the age of 45 found himself having to re-invent himself career-wise. He owned a business for 12 years but due to health issues, the business folded, we claimed bankruptcy and lost all that we owned.

One day he decided that he simply had to take a step in any direction, just to get moving somewhere again. So he decided to go to school. The first two years were at a Junior College where he got his AS degree, but upon graduating he received a letter notifying him that he qualified for a special grant (actually it turns out one that is rarely given and most of the financial aid people at the school weren't even familiar with)....one that would enable him to go further with his schooling.

So he choose a speciality Photography school that is quite expensive to attend....without that grant there was no way he could have attended.

He started his classes hoping to just 'get by' until something showed up. He had an old camera that he was hoping to get by with until he could find something else.

Because the school was about 250 miles from where we had been living we lived in the back of our pickup during the weekdays for the first two months and drove to where we were staying for the weekends.

One Friday at the beginning of the semester he was given an ultimatium. If he did not have the $5,000 worth of equipment by Monday at class time he could no longer attend.

Neither one of us were working at the time, we had taken a chance going to the school and moved up there living in the pickup during the weekdays. We didn't have $50 let alone $5,000.

All Friday night driving back to where we were staying I kept saying to him "Are you going quit?" to which he would reply without hestation "No! I did not come this far to quit. I will not quit" to which of course I did the whole "But what are we going to do?" I did this for two and a half days, I was scared and couldn't see an out or how this was going to happen. But my husband just kept repeating the same "I will not quit" to anything I said. He simply would no entertain what we would do if something didn't show up. He wouldn't even look at the possibility or discuss it with me.

Sunday night, my uncle in called. I hadn't spoken to him in quite a while. They live thousands of miles from us and we keep in touch very sporatically. Just a "Hi, How you doing" and then hang up. But tonight was different. Tonight he calls and starts off with the usual "Hi, how you doing?" and I did the usual "Fine" and then he did something unusual, he just said "Your Aunt and I were talking and we decided we wanted to send you $5,000". That was it. Not $50, or $1,000, or even $10,000. Nope, out of the clear blue they called to let us know that they had decided to give us the EXACT amount we needed.

I just cried. I had been worked up all weekend and my husband simply had sat there with unwaveriing faith and just refused to even allow an option of it 'not happening'. I then explained to him what the situation was and asked him to direct deposit it into our account instead of sending us a check as they had planned to do.

By Monday morning we walked into the bank and withdrew the exact amount my husband needed to stay in school.

The Universe works to perfection. Had it been any less he couldn't have gone, had they mailed the check instead of calling to let us know it would have arrived too late and he would have had to leave before it arrived, had we left any earlier on Sunday to drive back up to school we would have missed the call, etc. etc., etc.

The more we looked at any variation the more we realized the perfection of what had just happened.

We done this many, many times. Enough that we know in our heart of hearts.....the Universe hears what we hear inside and delivers it without fail every time.

"500,000.00 in less than 30 days"


By Kenya Stevens
from alpharetta, GA

I am so enjoying the telling of this story. My husband and I set a goal to make half a million in 30 days. We used "The Secret" to clarify our direction but we also simply put together a daily practice of getting excited about the money. We were to celebrate each day at 5:00 AM and right before going to bed. That was fun! Well, after the first 8 days of doing the exercise I purchased a lottery ticket and won the million dollar prize!! I was in shock but so happy that the Secret works...I have actually been doing this for years, using these principles, but never without the visual images used in the Secret that allowed me to really see graphically that I am the creator!!

I am in love with this lifestyle!!

Thanks

An opposite reaction!


By Justin C
from Malaysia, Penang

A few weeks before I encountered The Secret, I've applied for this particular education loan from my local government, only to be rejected after two weeks prior to the submission of all the forms and documents.

The rejection didn't seemed to be an issue to me because I know that my parents could afford my hefty college fees.

After my encounter with The Secret (November, 2006), I've asked for an amount of money to pop up in my bank account by this month (December, 2006), and guess what, after some time, my school administrator informed me that I've got the loan! Even though I've received the rejection statement via mail from the government itself!!! The loan I've received will be directed to my account soon and I am quite suprised and happy that the Law of Attraction works big time.

More and more things are happening the way I wanted and evidences are accumulating by each and everyday.

Thank you Secret.

I Believe!!!!


By Storm K
from Detroit Michigan

Yesterday I went to see my friend Kelly. She told me about The Secret and had a check from the Universe printed off and sitting atop her computer. She did not know I was coming to see her. There were 3 others in the store, but she handed the blank check to me and gave me the instructions. I took it home and looked up The Secret's website. I became a member and ordered the movie. Recently a business I ran had to be closed due to financial difficulties and we still owed $10,000 on the credit card. I called to see when the next payment was due and the balance was "zero" and so fast!!!! I can't wait to see what is happening now!

Abundance




By scott scott
from palm springs, CA

Hi,
I was introduced to The Secret about a month ago through a spiritual friend who shares my love & hunger for enlightenment,(we both have the movie What the Bleep).
Because of my belief & energy regarding money & my business, I was faced with financial hardship.
After studying deligently with The Secret, watching it over & over, meditating on positive thoughts & gratitude, monitoring my thoughts, I have already seen encouraging progress & change.
I had a credit card bill due, called the company, asked for a grace period, or to pay less, nothing seems available,so I hung up.
But, I kept my thought uplifted, positive, knowing that Devine Principle or, the Spiritual Laws are always present and operating.

I sat quitely, reafirmed this, called back, this time they said there was 1 day grace this month, so I "paid it" on the phone, even though the amount wasn't in my account.
I had accepted a credit card payment for services the day before from a client, but it almost always takes 3-4 days to reach my acct, (no sign that the charge was even pending when I checked).
I "blessed" the situation and let it go, Knowing that I was provided for.
The next morning, when the credit card withdrawal was to hit my acct. the money from the service rendered was there! Wham, it Works!
I am so greatful for this demonstration & the knowledge of the Great Truth.
Thank you.

Manefesto...





By Mike E.
from Cincinnati, Oh

After watching the Secret, peace filled every ounce of my being. The truth has been there all along. So my manifestation was that of a financial nature. I am a car salesman and had experience the worst two months of my career there and I sent out to the Universe exactly what I needed for my life to be back on track... The first thing on the list was a chance to see my only son more and the other command was for 10,000, enough to pay off all my bills and have a really nice Christmas. I didn't believe that this kind of money would come to me through my job so like The Secret says I opened my mind and let the universe do the work, I just knew I would receive it. I actually made a 10,000 dollar bill that I kept in my car and looked at daily and thought about what I needed to do with my new money and actually believed that I would receive it... One evening I stepped out to the bar and a friend from my past approached me and said that he and another friend were just talking about me that day. Imagine that, and that if I didn't do anything else I had to call that friend... I had not seen either friend in over 6 years. The other friend that I talked to is now a millionaire many times over and was so happy to be back in contact that he wanted to help me out... I received a lawyer for my case in the custody of my son who happens to be the best family law lawyer hands down in the area... He will not work under a retainer less than 5,000.00, and he took my case... Also this same lawyer stroked me a check for $10,000.00. It works. For anyone who is ready to ask, expect, and receive; The Secret is yours!

Post it note works too!





By Vicki N.
from Houston, Texas

I just finished the audio version of The Secret yesterday and was blown away. I began thinking of all the things that have happened in my life and how it makes so much sense to me now. I started practicing The Secret right away.

This morning I woke up and immediately started being grateful for the things I would be receiving. My husband has been self employed for 6 months now and it has been a struggle. Well, this morning I wrote down on a post it note.."Thank you for the new client my husband will get today." Two hours later, guess what! You got it. He called to tell me the printer company he uses called to tell him to expect a call from a new client today.

And you aren't going to believe this, but while I was typing this another existing client called and said he should be receiving a call from a new client referral today.

We were both so giggly on the phone. We are so excited and can't see what The Secret has in store for the rest of our lives!

The Law of Attraction works when you don't even know it




By Catherine Dawson
from Wagga Wagga, Australia

2 years ago, before my husband and i had even watched The Secret, we were driving back to the airport in a little hire car after a short weekend trip. Just for fun we decided to pretend that we were driving in the 4 wheel drive i so desperately wanted and that we were on our way to the international airport for our fist overseas trip, without knowing what we were doing we pretended that all the way and really believed it, my husband said "where are we going" and without thinkink I said "India".
3 weeks later i drove past a car yard and saw a new 4 wheel drive that i loved, we went and test drove it but didn't think that we could afford it, to our surprise, we got much more for the trade in on our old vehicle than we expected and we BOUGHT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE !!!

About 2 months after that my husband got a call to inform him that he was having $10,000.00 deposited into his business bank account for something that we had never expected to be paid for, we went down and paid for our 8 week trip around the world, the last stop being a 2 week stint in INDIA!!!!

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION REALLY DOES WORK.

About a month ago a good friend of ours gave us the DVD of "The Secret", we have watched it every day since, have created a vision boeard of the farm we want to buy and the house that will be on it, and every day it feels more and more like we already have it!!

We are so greatful for the secret and we'll post a picture on here when we move to our farm!

Was I a Money Magnet?




By Park
from Austin, Tx

I'd like to preface my story by saying that I haven't yet seen The Secret. But I think this story will be of interest to anyone who thinks that there is more to life and prosperity than meets the eye.

About 20 years ago I worked for a small sub-division of a very large company. I'll call it Company X. It was my first real job and I worked for them for about 10 years. I left them on good terms and went to school full time to complete my college degree. I had been putting it off for a long time and decided to bite the bullet before I got too "old".

Fast forward to two years ago. I had been laid off from an IT job and was under-employed doing some contract work. I had long ago lost contact with any of my co-workers at Company X and had even had some problems contacting the company for work references. The small sub-division I'd worked at had long ago been closed and employment records had been shuffled around the country during various mergers.

I have been meditating on and off for many years, but I began a steady meditation discipline during that time to try and handle the stress I was feeling. Somewhere I came across a "money meditation" which I included at the end of each day's meditation. It involved imagining that I was a money magnet. As I breathed, I would imagine a large coil running up my spine which glowed brighter as I inhaled. I imagined that the glow spread out into the world and as I exhaled, it would return to me and pull a pile of money back with it. My real inner goal was not to find a pile of money, but find a steady, good paying job.

I did this for about two months and the most money that ever came to me was a stray coin as I walked my dog around the neighborhood. Each time I thanked the universe for the money. Still, began to feel a little foolish. But I had determined that I would do this meditation daily for six months. If nothing happened in that time, I could safely tell myself that I had "tried".

One day I found a letter in my mailbox from "Company X Litigation". It was a generic brochure saying that some kind of lawsuit was happening involving my old employer and I may or may not be a party. At first I was mildly excited by this, but I had received these sorts of class action notices before and had never actually gotten anything from one. Still, I stashed the notice in the back of my filing cabinet.

A few more months passed and I was about to give up on my money magnet meditation. I had pretty much forgotten about the Company X notice. Then I received another actual letter from a law firm saying that I was indeed a party to the litigation and I needed to fill out a form and return it to them to verify my claim. It seemed that, for employees who had left between a narrow set of dates and cashed out their retirement plan, Company X had somehow miscalculated the payout. Now, I had indeed cashed out my $15,000 retirement plan when I left and spent the money on my college tuition years ago.

Based on no concrete numbers I did some quick mental calculations. I figured that if they mis-payed by a couple of hundred dollars, I might be entitled to a thousand or so, accounting for interest over the years. For some reason that seemed to me like a reasonable number. While it wasn't a pile of cash like I had been meditating on, it would still be a nice boost to my finances. I filled out the form and returned it to the law firm.

Another month passed. I determined to continue my money meditation due to the chance of gaining a small windfall. Finally, I found in my mailbox a receipt for a registered letter. I quickly went to the post office and signed for the legal sized envelope. Back in my car I ripped open the top. My mind was racing, wondering if I would get the $1000 dollar figure I had in my head or if I would be disappointed. Before I pulled the letter out of the envelope, I took a deep breath and cautioned myself that it would probably be check for $10. I reminded myself that things never worked out as well as I hoped they would.

I took the letter out of the envelope. It was three pages. I scanned them quickly. The first was an overview of the lawsuit. The second was a bunch of figures showing the number of employees and the amount Company X settled for. Then on the last page I saw a separate section that looked like a bank statement. At the very bottom I found the amount to which I was entitled. It was $32,000!!

Now I can't say for sure that my money meditation during those months brought this money to me. It could be a complete coincidence. Soon after cashing the check I stopped my money meditation. I can't tell you exactly why. I think that I was so struck by my good luck that I felt that continuing would be greedy! But this sequence of events has always stuck in the back of my mind. Did I somehow magnetize that money? I think it might be time to start that meditation again.

$4,ooo in one day, you better believe it




By Dancing Queen
from San Diego, Ca

My friends shared this movie with me, they obviously are dear friends who care. I was choking while I was watching this. Of course, the universe brings you what you need at the right time. I had been praying for our business that this past month was going a bit slow. I saw the movie, and I asked my genie to give me 4,000 on Saturday, now you must know this entire month we have not done more than 3,000 on any particular day. I made my wish and left it at that. I came back on Monday from an out of town trip and guess what, it said we did exactly 4,089.00 on Saturday. Do you see the power, the awesome power of The Secret. I did not even finish watching the movie but stayed positive, focused and visualized and lord, "your wish is my command" came true. I was so excited I called everyone I knew and of course my friends. We have started a creation board as a family with my kids and let me tell you it works... and is working. Believe it and stay with it, that all good things are coming my way. I have $100,000 coming to me in 30 days too. I thank the lord in advance everyday. I see that check made out to me for $100,000. I gratefully accept all the abundance and prosperity of this universe. thank you God

Free Money




By Eneida P.
from Denver, CO

During the part of The Secret where they said, "ask for $25,000 of unexpected income in the next 30 days, or whatever is believable for you..." This was September 28th.
I said, "In 30 days, by October 27th, I want $1,000 of unexpected money to come into my life."
That next week, we got about $300 in bank charges dropped! "Wow" I thought, great start! The next week my mother in law sent us $60 just because! Okay, getting closer. Later that week my husband's grandmother sent us $60 for our birthdays (which are in May and July and this is October already!) I had found approximately $3 on the street from picking up pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. $423 that came into my life without any effort for it! Then, I opened a new bank account and part of their rewards was $77 for opening an account with them! $500!! I was floored.
I've been at my new job for about a month, and as I was leaving for the weekend my boss hands me a card and says, "we've had a good start" and smiled. When I left the building and opened the envelope, there was $400 cash as a gift for me to buy new work clothes on him. $900 total and counting. Today is October 27th, Hey, $100 is still coming my way!
This Secret is so powerful, with just a little effort and focus, anything you want can happen to you. I'm a believer.

Unbelievable results




By Guy C.
from Guelph, Ont.

My wife and I watched The Secret on two occasions so far and we found it just incredible and are working hard every day to make sure that we change our thoughts and protect any thoughts that enter our mind. I think about the movie daily and I make sure that I write in my gratitude journal on a daily basis. This has not always been easy but I try to remain very diligent.
Last week we received in the mail a cheque for $15720. It was not expected but very welcomed. This works and I encourage everyone to watch the movie and watch it several times. You need to change your thinking and your thoughts and you will see that the universe will open up for you.
Thank you for the gift of this movie and my wife and I are very grateful that we came across this wonderful revelation of a simple law.
Million thanks.

Making it yours.




By Leigh
from Washoe Valley, NV

A few years I was getting frustrated with my old computer -- it couldn't take any more upgrades, and wouldn't support Microsoft Word, which was the program most publishers accept submissions in. I went to the store that carried Macs to get a new computer and purchased the smallest notebook they had. While I was there I sat in front of the new iMac and played around. "Some day," I thought, "You will be mine..." I really saw it, sitting on my desk, all sleek and white. A few months later, an Apple store opened up in Reno and I went there for the grand opening. They had forms for a raffle, so I filled one out, thinking, hey, someone's gotta win, right? I figured it was for an iPod or something, and didn't really give it much thought, but I did sit down in front of another iMac, and again I pictured this wonderful computer on my desk at home.

I bet you can guess what happened... I got a phone call a few weeks later saying that I had one the grand prize at the Apple store - A brand new iMac AND a new printer to go with it, AND a digital camera, AND a new Sony videocamera... and oh yeah, an iPod too! This was before I had seen "The Secret," so needless to say, I am blown away to realize that I was doing the visualization. I just figured I got lucky for once, but now I realize that luck is what you make for yourself, with the help of the loving, abundant universe. Thank you so much for sharing The Secret with us.

Been Living it- just didn't know it...





By Nana Too!
from Yuba City, CA

I read the story by Nana... interestingly this is what my grandchildren call me. Her name caught my eye. She talks about how she had been living with the pieces to The Secret but never put the puzzle together. I could have written that story! The most bizarre was a time when I was totally broke and needed some food for my boys. I visualized a loaf of bread, jar of peanut butter, gallon of milk, and some canned goods. NO-ONE knew this. That very day, a stranger gave me a grocery bag filled with every item I visualized and then some. She didn't know "why" but was obeying a strong feeling to do this. She hoped she wasn't insulting me! We agreed it was a miracle. Amazing. Thanks for putting the pieces together... I had an "aha" moment when I watched The Secret and now realize where that miracle came from. From this day on, I am more abundant in everything and my dreams are realized!

Money DOES grow on trees!




By Cynthia
from Colorado

A few days ago I walked around the corner to the fenced dumpster with a bag of trash. On my way back I noticed (as usual) paper trash had blown into our little front area of bushes and perennials, now naturally mulched with several inches of dried leaves that have fallen off the lilac bush and the apple tree that flank each end of the little garden area. I bent over and started picking up pieces of trash, and all of a sudden my eyes did a weird fluttery thing - because I couldn't believe them, I guess! Pieces of trash magically turned into money right before my eyes, and it was as if my eyes did a double take! I reached down and pulled a half-exposed dollar bill out of the leaves, and then looked around, and there were more of them! I started laughing out loud! The thought went through my mind "money DOES grow on trees!" because they were mixed in with the leaves that had fallen from the trees above me! I picked them up and brought them in, it was not a hallucination!

I decided that although this was "only" a few dollars, it was a harbinger! This morning I have received $300 in orders from customers, even though I have NOT BEEN WORKING my job since the end of August. I've worked 80 hours a week for 7-1/2 years, and I took time off to do other things that my job never allowed time for: LIVING. Instead of feeling fear of being deprived of an income because of my choice for time off, I started practicing the Law of Attraction... simply as an expression of, and gratitude for, the abundance that I already have (which once seemed to be very little, now I realize as so much that I had failed to acknowledge). Recognition and gratitude are definitely creating MORE abundance, without my effort.

This is the beginning of having an income AND a life... no more of this "either/or" lie, that was only true when I believed it. Now I believe in LIFE AND ABUNDANCE in all forms, simultaneously. I CAN have it all!

About Cynthia from Colorado:

wife of 35 years, mother of 3 grown sons, grandmother of 4... I grew up programmed that "money doesn't grow on trees", that I have to work very hard for money (which is why I related so strongly to Jack Canfield, who said the same). Have a home based internet business, have worked 80 hours a week for almost 8 years... this is changing for me in a big way now!

The power of intention




By Jennifer S
from Denver, CO

In the past week I've focused on what I don't have - the exact opposite of what the Secret tells you to do! This focus resulted in canceled orders! Today I decided to focus on my intentions and goals, and watched the "Secret to you" and the "Secret to Riches". I printed the secret check and wrote in a small amount I thought was reasonable, $5000. I hung it up where I will see it every day. I came back downstairs to get to work on my laptop and my phone rang. It was someone who was experiencing great results on the product I distribute and she wanted to place an order for more! That shift in my mind made all of the difference, and the shift in my mind came from watching The Secret!!!!

$3,000 supplied by the universe


By Tiann
from Newport News, VA

I printed out the secret check and wrote how much I wanted to receive on 11/13/06.

I am happy and blessed to report that today I received a bonus check for $3000.00. That is $1000 more that I was asking for.

In fact my whole office receive an unexpected bonus based on the length of time we have been employed here. I have only been here 3 months and received $3000. Just imagine what others received.

I also used the visualization tool every day. I have yet to watch The Secret Movie but I did order it today! The possibilities are endless!

Starting Small




By Julie M
from Alberta, Canada

After becoming aware of The Secret and its' principles, I began to take more notice of when my thoughts became things. After about 2 weeks of paying attention, I realized that not only had I used the Law of Attraction, but I had done it 3 times.

As a single mom I don't have a lot of money at the moment and on a Sunday evening I saw an enticing commercial for Mott's Clamato Juice. I hadn't had that for many years and remembered how I used to love ceasars. I thought..."that would be nice to have"...but knew I wouldn't go buy it just from seeing a commercial. A few days later I went to the local food bank and had hoped to receive some fresh vegetables..something that you don't usually get at this location.

Well...I didn't get the vegetables and was very disappointed, but as the volunteers were finishing up my food hamper, one of them held up some drink cans and asked me if I would drink them. For a moment I didn't say anything since they were holding up a single can of Mott's Clamato Juice!
I immediately said "yes!" while feeling this warm, fuzzy goodness inside.

A few days later while working at a private garden, my employer asked all us gardeners if we wanted any vegatable from the garden. If we did, we could just help ourselves to whatever we wanted to take home! I got fresh carrots, potatoes and beets.

A few weeks later, while feeling rather down about the seasonal end of my gardening job, I realized that I had been so distracted with my finances that I'd forgotten that Remembrance Day was only 2 days away.

I thought that 'maybe I should look for my poppy pin from last year.." then forgot about it. The day before Remembrance Day, I was in a store where a container of poppies were displayed. I looked at them, thought about seeing if I had any change for one, but knew that I wouldn't feel right about just putting in a dime and decided I didn't need it.

I left the store and as I went to get in my car, there on the ground was a brand-new poppy....laying in the snow of the parking lot, completely unharmed!

I know the Law of Attraction works now! And I'm currently working on manifesting "bigger" things to come my way.

"The Secret" Works Faster Than You Do!


By Tammy N.
from Longmont, CO

I have JUST ordered "The Secret" on DVD. I have known about it for several months but never ordered it or even viewed it online yet.

Oddly enough when I sat down at my computer to place the order I thought, "Boy, I wish they took PayPal so I don't have to put this on my already overloaded credit card."

I went thru the check out process and clicked "pay with credit card" and amazingly it went straight to PayPal! I was able to pay with an instant transfer and not put it on my credit card at all!

I haven't even seen this movie yet and already the principles are working! I can only imagine what wonders lie in store for me after I have a chance to watch it!

About Tammy N. from Longmont, CO:

I'm a "farm wife" who lives in Colorado with my husband of 10 years and my furry kids, 4 dogs, 2 cats, 5 horses and 200 cattle!

Pure Intention/Law of Attraction




By Jacqueline van Bierk
from Los Angeles

I've been taking a 90 day self-growth seminar and one of my major goals is to get $250k for my band Otto's Daughter to record the new album, be able to tour, promote, advertise. I watched The Secret and realized how much I'm still focusing on what I don't want and how much I worry about money. I've been looking for investors and haven't had much luck. I told my producer however that I will have the deposit money we agreed on and confirmed our recording date starting August 28th for 2 months. He called me 2 days before our scheduled meeting to ensure I'll be able to give him the deposit$. Not having a clue what's gonna happen, I said "YES, we are on, I'll have the $ for you."

The meeting scheduled with my producer and my possible investor (who is actually my boss) to pay $5000 deposit for the recording of the album went not as expected. The investor didn't show up. My producer's jaw dropped. Normally I would freak out and be mad, instead I thanked the universe for looking out for me and asked my producer to give me 24hrs and I'll get him the 5K. We drove off excited, knowing we need 20k to record our album.
My boyfriend/guitarplayer got 25K with a few phone calls and I got the 5K (loan)that night from a friend of mine. We generated 30k in 24hrs. I recieved the check for 25k and are able to pay my friend back by Sept 1st as agreed.

I had total faith and my intention was clear, I knew I will get it, it was impossible to fail. It felt extremely comfortable and the pay off was huge. This stuff works. I now want to create 50k by Sept 2nd to be able to be in the studio and fully dedicate my time and my energy to my music, writing a new killer album that will be a number 1 album in the world!!!...I'll keep you posted!!! :)
