I picked up the book “The Magic” at the grocery store one day. It beckoned me as some books do. I kept it around my house and periodically I would read a paragraph or a page or a chapter. I didn’t know what to think of it but somehow knew that I should keep an open mind and simply READ it. After about 3 months and getting to about the 3rd chapter I went on a trip that changed my life. The culmination of elements that comprise the trip are so profound to me that I am still documenting it after 4 months. I had not taken the book with me but absolutely picked it back up when I returned and got my feet FIRMLY planted back on the ground. I immediately got consumed by the book (without letting it take over my daily routines) to the point that I HAD TO share it with those people I held dearest to my heart. I was slowly taking it into every fiber of my being. After I finished the book, I was excited to start the book over again. The first three chapters were like I had just picked the book up for the first time. I danced in the essence of it and still do.

Has my life changed? OMG this page could not hold all that has happened in the last 4 months! I have a story of the love of my life and the re-ignition of our 18 year relationship. I have a story of wealth and success beyond what I could have dreamed of. I have a story of seeing the good in everyone and everything. My most important story is the one about giving to others and loving unconditionally. My stories are all grounded in GRATITUDE.

I want to tell Rhonda Byrne I love her and “Thank You” is an understatement. Sharing this is like being able to breathe better. By the way, it took me 10 months to read the book and I will spend the rest of my life carrying it around and giving it away.
