A Weekend To Remember
Submitted by: Cate Ridley
Eagle Creek, British Columbia, CanadaI am 60 years young this year and have recently graduated from a Medical Transcription course. I have lived many different places and done many different things in my life. Eagle Creek has been my home for over 25 years now and I love the rural atmosphere and the close-knit community of which I am proud and grateful to a be a member.
I was asked to house-sit for friends this past weekend which I have done many times for this couple and truly enjoy looking after their home and their two dogs Angel and Jillie. It was purely by chance that I came across a copy of The Secret book the first day of my weekend.
From the moment I picked it up and started reading, I felt that I had happened upon something truly astounding. I could hardly put it down, doing so only to absorb what I had read and to let the teachings sink in. I began to take what I was reading to heart instantly and practiced everything I learned.
I woke in the morning saying Thank you. I went to bed grateful for the day and all that I had learned. I constantly asked myself how I felt and what I was thinking. I found that I had a smile on my face more often than not and that alone was a startling discovery, as I am not a smiler by nature.
The couple I sat for are not usually overly generous in their payment for my services however I imagined and believed and ‘saw’ an amount that I would be happy to receive. I am truly grateful to say that the amount I visualized was exceeded.
The Secret is changing my life and I am so very grateful to the Universe.
