I live in Australia and have recently moved from Sydney (New South Wales) to a beautiful area in the hinterland of the Gold Coast in Queensland.

My huband and I have been retired since April 2005 on the basis that we had set up various income streams to facilitate our retirement.

Unfortunately, the biggest ones fell over and we have been left with the situation of figuring out how to manage financially, without having to return to the workforce.

My husband was on the verge of suffering a breakdown as a result of work-related stress, and going back into the workforce was not an option.

My youngest daughter called me one day to say that she had spent a girls evening with some friends and they had played this fantastic DVD called “The Secret”. She explained what it was about and said that she had changed her way of thinking and her life had turned so positive.

I had goosebumbs as she was describing all this to me, as I had always believed that there was so much more to us out there than I had ever been taught. I immediately went on-line and purchased the DVD which both my husband and myself continue to watch.

Well, as we needed to figure out ways to minimise the outflow of our funds, we decided that we needed someone else to pay our mortgage. We have been registered on a house sitting site for quite sometime and have done various house sits around the country.

As part of our strategy we decided that we needed to land a house sit assignment for a long term and rent out our apartment in Sydney (fully furnished). Shortly after putting my request ‘out there’ we received a request from a couple who lived at Mount Tamborine on the Gold Coast. They were due to go to live and work in Hong Kong and needed someone to house sit their home in the rainforest area for 2.5 years. Needless to say, we eventually accepted this assignment.

Then our real state agent told us that to rent a fully furnished 3 bedroom apartment was very rare and not achievable. A week later we received a call from him saying that a couple from Canberra wanted to inspect our property.

Upon walking in the door, the couple said they would take it at the rent we were asking and signed a 2 year lease. Our agent is still recovering!!

My husband said that the tenants were exactly as he pictured in his mind they would be.

How good is that!!!!!

There have been other instances of our requests being granted and we are patiently awaiting further outcomes.

Each day the first thing I do on awakening is to say “Thank you, thank you, thank you” for the wonderful blessing of being put in touch with this information.

I am so excited and positive and so overwhelmed to now know that it is ME that creates my life’s circumstances. There is NOTHING that I cannot achieve.

What else can I Say? “The Secret” has been a most amazing turn around in my life.
