I am someone who has struggled with anxiety and negativity my entire life. The Secret, Rhonda’s podcasts, and all of her books are the only medicine that helps my stress, fear, and anxiety. It is my greatest desire that someone who reads this and is in a similar situation feels hope.

My husband had a massive stroke on August 30th of 2023. Our family was plunged into one of the darkest, most painful experiences we have ever known. He lost his ability to speak, walk, and use his right hand. After a week in treatment, he was put into an inpatient intensive rehab. The average stay in the US is three weeks. Especially if the patient is not progressing. I visited him every day for most of the day and was sleep-deprived, grief-stricken, and feeling hopeless.

When I finally came up for air, I went to see a friend for an hour. She had been doing The Secret. I have almost all of the books and always believed in the power of affirmations. But I had forgotten about it and had not practiced anything from The Secret for years. She re-introduced me to it and wrote a letter to the Universe for me. She thanked the Universe for the healing of my husband.

My husband was given an October 17th discharge date. We had to have the medical staff apply for approval weekly to keep him in as an inpatient. I would see October 17th written across the sky in my mind. I painted the date on a picture I made. He made it all the way to October 14th. Again, that was something unheard of, as it is expensive, and insurance generally will not pay for it.

When the 14th came, he was suddenly being discharged. It was a Saturday, and my family was out of town. I was in great despair and was not ready to take him home. I held my husband’s hands and put on some beautiful meditation music. When I was done, I decided that, no matter what, we were not leaving. We will find a way.  That morning, the doctors had a conference call with the insurance company, and they finally approved our original date, the 17th. And by the grace of the Universe, we made it to that date. He had gotten a total of 6 and 1/2 weeks of inpatient therapy. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

My husband still has much healing to do ahead, but he can now walk with a cane and has gotten some speech back. He was able to come home and walk up the stairs in our split-level home. Miracle upon miracle was granted to us. I could write a book about it, as there is so much that happened. I still have many times that I feel down and get really scared. My sister told me during the process to chant in my mind, “What if it all works out?” That is now my go-to mood shifter to shift me out of fear. I listen to Rhonda almost every day. I look at her as a beautiful guardian angel.

October 17th! I believed it, and I saw it in my mind. And it manifested perfectly. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Much love to the family of universal angels. You have taught me what real love means. I will be forever grateful for The Secret. There is nothing that shifts me out of fear, anxiety, and negativity like listening to Rhonda’s podcasts, reading a few pages of The Secret book series, and pulling out a card from The Secret Manifestation Cards every day. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! I have also started doing the welcoming practices, and they really do help!!

It is now seven months since my husband was released from inpatient rehab. My husband can walk carefully down and up the stairs himself. He can take walks down the block alone and is gaining more words back each week!! My life has transformed. I have gone from feeling like a victim and feeling so much resentment to a woman who found so many silver linings. I feel so much gratitude that my husband is home and is still with me. Our love has deepened in a way that is so different than how it was before the stroke. We cherish every minute together and the little things we used to take for granted. I read him The Greatest Secret and meditate with him. I encourage him to keep on moving forward. We are truly blessed. We believe!

I hope my story can help someone else who is suffering! Bless you all!
