We were currently living in North Carolina when Craig and I decided to relocate back to Minnesota with a company that had been recruiting him. We sold the home we had just purchased 6 months earlier at a $10,000 loss, packed up and moved two adults, three teenagers and two dogs from North Carolina to Minnesota. We purchased a quarter of a million dollar home and settled in. Due to our son being a special needs child, I had become a stay at home mom when he had come to live with us 3 years earlier after having worked in Real Estate and Mortgage Banking for 25 years. Craig went off to work every morning to the job that was supposed to be so much better then where we had been previously. What we found was that Craig was leaving at 4am and not returning until 8pm usually. There were also the 11 or 12 o’clock nights as well. The stress at work was unbelievable. I saw my husband become someone that I didn’t know.
Three months later Craig was told that they were rolling the management at the plant yet again and that he no longer had a job. In our 6 years together he had twice had to tell me that he had been downsized and was now driving home knowing that he was going to have to tell me that he had just lost his job. He was physically ill. When he came home he took me out to the garage so that the kids couldn’t hear. As he told me what had happened I could feel my stomach begin to flip and an overwhelming anxiety take over my body. All I could think about was that our oldest daughter was having surgery in 3 days to have her tonsils out and how were we going to cover that expense as well as make the mortgage payment on our home. I thought of all the people that were losing their homes to foreclosure and wondered if we were going to be next.
Just then I looked into Craig’s eyes, smiled and started laughing. He knew what I was thinking. This was a blessing. This was the universes way of giving us what we had been asking for, a way out of the stressful situation that Craig had been put in. At that moment, Craig told me that everything was going to be just fine. He was positive! We opened a bottle of wine and sat in the garage planning what we wanted our new life to be like.
About a week later I received an email from Joe Vitale (from the best selling book and movie “The Secret”). It had a link to a website and a guy that was going to be having some sort of talk or phone call on Joe’s book The Attractor Factor. I clicked on the link and our lives changed forever. We learned of a business opportunity while reading and called on it right then and there. Did I mention this was 6pm on Good Friday? Well everything was explained to us and we were told that this business was based on personal development and the law of attraction. Craig and I looked at each other and knew, this was the universe hitting us in the forehead (picture a V8 commercial). By Easter Sunday we had decided to start our own business. Since then, we have been living our life on purpose. We now spend time together, time with our children and we have fun every single day. We work a couple hours a day about 4 days a week. The best part of all of it is that we get to help people learn how they can create their dream lifestyle. We get to teach people to live the life they want and how to live life on purpose.
So that is a little about us and how we got to this point.
Are you unsure how your thoughts effect your life? Keep up with our posts and you will see plenty of examples and evidence of how the Law Of Attraction works.
I hope you will join us in our journey.
