Firstly, a BIG thank you to God, the Universe, Rhonda and her team, and to life being filled with wonderful surprises.

I have been on a journey of self-discovery and important changes (for myself) for a while, but slightly after my 29th birthday, I had read the “The Secret” and “The Power” to give me inspiration and faith, well needed to embark on a journey for self-improvement. I refused to be unhappy at the eve of my 30th birthday.

I began believing and being thankful for many things in life – friendships, family and my cat. I slowly integrated my health into the picture – I visualized it and kept working hard. I am proud to say since the beginning of the year, I lost 30lbs. What a change!
Seeing how all of the visualizations and asking have worked, I started to integrate it into my professional life. But the one aspect of my life that I am most grateful for is my love life.

I have been on dating sites on and off for years, simply meeting and attracting the wrong type of men. And I would complain about it, to only attract MORE of the wrong men! After a session, one particular day with a therapist who believes in “The Secret”, she simply informed me that I had issues to deal with and once that would be dealt with, real love would appear. My issues are concerning my father.

It has been a few months since I had been on a dating site, given the past experiences, and had told myself that I would sign up once I had turned 30 and reached my weight loss goal – I was loving myself and feeling confident. But something came to my mind beginning July (roughly one month before my birthday), giving me the urge to re-sign on the dating site. And so I did. I Googled examples and ideas of how to write a profile that would attract EXACTLY what I was looking for.

Two (2) days after signing up, my phone notified me of a message (and normally I turn the sound off so I can sleep). I woke up, read the message of a man who had read my profile and had sent me an email. His first inquiry was concerning my cat – something which most men I have met in the past NEVER asked me about. Right there, my heart melted and felt this guy was different. I replied, to only receive another email – we went back and forth that night for 3 hours! I was happy.

For the next week, we communicated via email and our exchanges were lengthy – we had soooo much in common and things I didn’t think possible to have someone understand me actually did. So it felt natural to give him my phone number, asking him to call me whenever he felt it was fit.

Last Friday, July 13th 2012, I woke up thanking it was Friday and was looking forward to the weekend to relax. At work I had received good news concerning my professional advancement, and I was thankful for that. I stayed after work hours to write an email to the guy who had written to me earlier in the day. I closed my computer, headed home via subway and was excited and thankful I had met that guy. When I got home, I had received an email from him, mentioning he had called 3 times and I didn’t answer (conclusion: I was in the subway and had lost reception). Needless to say, he called me again and asked me out that night.

We met up for our first date, and I was in heaven. This man is EXACTLY what I was looking for, quality-wise. I sincerely felt special and princess-like with him. Our date ended up lasting until the wee hours of Saturday morning. We saw each other saturday afternoon to have only spent another beautiful afternoon together, which lasted until the evening, and overnight, until Sunday morning. It all felt surreal…

I also want to thank my cat Lucky who wears his name very well – ever since I have had him, there have been great things happening to me. And Lucky did make my Friday the 13th Lucky because my screen name on the dating site is “Lucky Gal” and my guy was looking forward to meeting “Lucky” because he loves animals.

My heart is filled with happiness and joy and I look forward in posting an update on the journey ahead with my guy – all because I believed he was out there, and as my guy said (he also believes in the Secret) – I subconsicously attracted him into my life! I am thrilled I did!
