It was in the summer of 2016 when I read The Secret for the first time and began watching the movie over and over again.
I had a good friend of mine who I recommended it to and he started telling me of his love for America and how he dreamed of travelling there since he was a child. We shared our visions with each other on a nightly basis. He was having some troubles so I told him why not take Jack Canfield’s advice and go for something so big you would know it was from The Secret. Then visualise yourself living the dream in America!

My friend had been a monumental support to me that summer throughout a court case I was in and he helped me get out of a situation that could have lasted a very long time. Basically I really wanted to pay him back, so I started creating vision boards for him of America. I put in pictures of American girls who I said would be fighting over him!

About 30 days later of the two of us attracting little things, I received a once in a lifetime offer to study in America, working as a brand ambassador for an Irish company. My heart said yes but logically I would need a few pounds. Again, this is where my friend comes in! We would always be having silly little bets with each other and gambling is a big industry in Ireland so we placed our lottery bets to see if the Universe was willing to help! During this time I was continually reading The Secret and spectacularly in November of 2016, we won $10,000 allowing me to accept this amazing offer!

If all that wasn’t enough, I looked at the vision board I had made for my friend and tears rolled down my eyes as I realised I would be travelling to each one of the places I had put on it!.

I have just returned after 2 years in America, had an amazing time and am delighted to be home.

It’s almost hard for me to put into words how this experience has forever transformed my life and the biggest gift of all is my friend who saw something in me when no one else did. His mother named him after a famous saint but to me he is one himself. It’s just incredible that the places I imagined my friend going, I ended up going to myself. Be careful who you wish for!
