Greetings,

Recently, I began practicing gratitude for all of the things I have: such excellent co-workers, a new job, and my creative studies as a writer.

I also started caring more deeply about people in my life, trying to uplift them, encourage them, and tell them I appreciate them.

My life began to change because I made gratitude one of my daily practices. When I am driving, I say what I am grateful for, visualize it, and it has been happening.

Recently I posted on Facebook that I wanted to go on vacation. I watched movies about Ireland, studied Irish accents online, and downloaded Celtic music like a crazy woman! This week I had a check and a money transfer come into my account. I now have enough money to go to Ireland!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This will be my first real vacation in many years!

I don’t know where I will stay in Dublin or where I will find affordable accommodations, but I have faith! Irish people are so kind and welcoming! I am so excited!!!

The Secret really works. Be generous, give someone in your life a smile, and have faith that all good things will come to you. I am so grateful for my trip to Ireland this coming March!

Practice the message outlined in the book The Secret. Be grateful for what you have, visualize the things that make you fulfilled, and use your blessings to be generous towards others.

Thank you,

J
